EVGA.com has some in stock. I just bit the bullet finally and grabbed one. Fuck it.
You keep saying that Nvidia's store is giving you the run around on your order. Have you checked online for its status? Did you ever get an e-mail confirming your order or have you seen a charge on your credit card yet? Have you escalated it to a manager by pushing through the 1-2 tiers of people you talk to beforehand?
Haha in stock for 20 minutes at random vendors at random times of the day and then you guys jump in here and scream no not a paper launch! There are literally 10 cards at a time hitting retailers that sell out within 15 minutes. Unless you're lucky or you freaking LIVE at your PC sniping away on your nowinstock alerts you are NOT going to find one of these cards. How is that not a paper launch? The other guy was right, some of you guys are cringe worthy. I reckon when the AIB cards start to come out that they too will trickle out 10 at a time to random vendors and the FE cards will be easier to score because then everyone will be chasing the few AIB cards that come to market instead. By the reviews it's not likely that an AIB card will provide any more benefit over an FE other than price. It's clear that everyone's definition of 'paper launch' is different so it's all good. I just remember the 8800 and 400 launches and there was plenty of stock for all on those launches. Those were hard launches. This one and many of their others? Not so much.
I am glad to hear they finally "found" your card and you are getting it today. Just a shame it took them this long to get things fixed.It finally shipped yesterday after repeatedly escalating it. The people on the phone are from Digital River and they don't seem to know much of anything about the warehouses. They gave me the canned "it will definitely ship today or tomorrow" answer over and over. I get that the holiday probably threw things off, but I think they were pulling some shenanigans. I eventually kept asking for supervisors and telling them I wanted to cancel my order until they mysteriously "found" the card I ordered shipped it next-day. It's supposed to be here this afternoon.
My gripe with them is that I *think* they wanted to declare my order on backorder...which is fine, but they need to tell me that instead of giving me the run-around.
I wouldn't call it a paper launch. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they're playing with the supply.
It's just like Apple does with the iPhone launch. Get it now, get it before all your friends, get it before the boat from China gets here with five million more...

Reference cards were briefly but frequently available every single day. I could have purchased one eight or nine times so far, if I wanted to. Which I don't.
You're assuming the vega and 1080 TI won't have the same issues of supply at launch, hot new hardware always goes this way; the fan buyers + the people buying multiples hoping to ebay them off for a profit.
