E-mail notifications are going to be MINUTES too late by the time you get them —even if watching your inbox like a hawk. Discord notifications are instant as is live chat feed and the cards sell out in seconds every time.Man i havent had any luck every time i get an email notification i am super busy
Dang. Tried yesterday w/ a lot of clicking but no luck. It was in stock, then I added to cart then it wasn't available for pickup nor online but I could still add to cart *hits head on desk* *stares at 10% off coupon...*I hate you. I mean congratulations.
I heard someone say it might work better on the app. I'll give it a try if they ever go back in stock.Dang. Tried yesterday w/ a lot of clicking but no luck.

If you hang out in the general chats, yes that is about accurate. Savvy Discord users will mute those channels and set alerts to the channels where only Distill bots are permitted to post.Thousands of people post in a super fast moving unwashed chat — generally about nothing of importance, maybe they just got back from Taco Bell, maybe they pooped, maybe they showered, maybe they played a game or just woke up — someone sees something they copy the link in to share, but the product goes out of stock before you could possibly click the link, because the automatic full checkout bots are patrolling all sites, and then everybody in the chat goes
“Reeeeeeeeeeeee” missed that one too.
actually the discord chat makes you realize just how bad the problem is. There is actually quite a bit coming into stock more recently, but you’ll still not get anything unless Lady Luck smiles on you, or you have a fully auto checkout bot. I get quite a few added to cart. So far, none checked out. They get ripped from my cart.
I thought it would help me get a card this last week or so and I’ve had a lot more faux opportunities presented, but it’s just a lesson in frustration thus far. The chat makes you realize the lunacy of all of us playing the game.
High demand product is high demand. Other companies only wish they had this problem.This has got to go down as one of the worst "launches" in history.

I'm going to try to get a 3090 founders, but step up my 2060ko to whatever the cheapest card out around xmas is. Hopefully an 8gb 3060ti for little/no money extra.I still think there's more to the story. Artificially low supply is my guess.
20GB cards in December!
Except they don't need to "artificial scarcity" a product that already had insane demand, and hype was already 10/10. There's no business upside, it loses money.I still think there's more to the story. Artificially low supply is my guess.

The 3090 seems to be such a bad buy vs the 3080. I'd rather pay a little more for a top tier 3080 than twice as much for a 3090 at this point.3090's seem to be an easier buy right now than 3080's. The only thing you could run into is that the 3060Ti doesn't get released within your 90 day step up window (depending on when you bought the card).

Artificial scarcity is to prop up a middling product that there isn't great confidence in.

for AI and rendering, the extra VRAM is worth it to me. But not for a cent over $1500. EVGAs step up 3090 is $1800.The 3090 seems to be such a bad buy vs the 3080. I'd rather pay a little more for a top tier 3080 than twice as much for a 3090 at this point.
A 20GB card should cost the same as a top tier AIB card.I still think there's more to the story. Artificially low supply is my guess.

I'm willing to wait until AMD and Nvidia put out their best cards by December.
The 10GB "beta" cards will be a distant memory. Especially since the 20GB card should be better built, avoiding the frequency/crashing issues.
AMD 16GB for less than $700.I think that's wildly optimistic. These cards are gonna be $1000. Why wouldn't they be?
I think that's what the majority of people are thinking. I can stomach $700-800 for a card. $1500-1700 is a little much, especially with the minor upgrade in performance.
3070 16gb should be less than $700 as well... I'd guess.AMD 16GB for less than $700.
An extra 20% margin is only $140, which is $840.
Competition will not allow it.
$600 would be better since they are using the cheaper GDDR6 for the 3070. $700 is realistic.3070 16gb should be less than $700 as well... I'd guess.

Do we know they're producing 20GB 3080 cards right now? All I've seen is a Gigabyte SKU indicating that they plan to release a 20GB variant sometime in the future.This is OT, but this is all about margins. In 2 months, the market will be flooded with 20GB cards because that's what's being produced NOW. Why would an AIB accept a 40% margin on a 10GB card when they can sell 20GB cards with a 50-60% margin?
I think it will be about 600. Which is less than 700. It is a filler product after all, I don't think nvidia wants its cards competing at the same price point.Would someone really buy a $699 3070 16GB over a $699 3080 10GB? 3080 seems like a super easy decision...

Of course, it is a Titan replacement and those are always a bad buy in terms of performance per dollar. You always get less performance/dollar as you go up the GPU chain, but Titans take a sharp knee and cost WAY more for not that much more performance. Never buy the moonshot card expecting good value for your money. It is just for people who want the absolute best and aren't fussed about spending a silly amount of money to get it.
You get the same thing in the audio world. The difference between a cheap set of speakers/soundbar that is included with your PC and a decent $150-300 set of powered monitor is amazing, such a step up in sound quality. The difference between those monitors and some high end $2000-5000 monitors is clearly noticeable, but not near as big as that first step up. The difference between those high end monitors and some ultra high end $20k+ setup is quite subtle, it is there but you might not even notice it straight off or in all situations. The return for your money just gets less and less as you go up the chain.
3070 16gb should be less than $700 as well... I'd guess.
Managed to order a 3080 from Best Buy, took many retries.
What makes you think big Navi will be a y better on the availability front?I tried. Couldn’t add it to cart. Hit about 20 times and then finally went out of stock lol. Probably be buying big Navi I guess at this point. Hahah.
It will, hugely so.What makes you think big Navi will be a y better on the availability front?
dream on. bots will do the same.It will, hugely so.
dream on. bots will do the same.
I think the bots will be quickly exasperated when they by a huge chunk of the first stock then notice the people looking for AMD cards are no where in number compared to the NVIDIA ones. Its going to be some funny shit.I don't know that this will be the case. There is generally less demand for AMD graphics cards vs. Nvidia. If AMD has more stock available than the pittance that Nvidia launched with, combined with somewhat less demand, it should make for general availability for longer than 1 second as was the case with Nvidia's launch.
Navi and the Radeon VII were both available for most of launch day (at least several hours) before they sold out.

I won't be surprised if nvidia suddenly has plenty of stock when there is competition.Nvidia clearly doesn’t have enough stock. Plus scalpers know no one is gonna pay double for rdna2 chip like nvidia fanboys will.
