Definitely agree, Evga was absolute craziness too - I managed to click add on a 3080 before the site crashed during the initial b stock drop. Best Buy I got very close on with the countdown and everything but stalled ordering since it was a 3080 ti, I'm hoping they keep improving vs what we started with.
You clearly didn't fight Zotac's site this time last year, it was EVGA on steroids and not in a good way
So last night at about 1am cst I randomly went to the Zotac store and there was a 3080 and 3090 both over msrp, but then was a random 3070 in stock as I looked over the list of cards (still a little over msrp) but not near as bad as scalpers and in stock. I added it to the cart and placed the order, it was just odd that it actually wasn't a mistake since I have had terrible luck any time I have tried to order a 3 series card through normal means.
If you are not in one already it's too late
Yesterday.
In all seriousness you need to drive by and find out what the line situation is. Now if you are an hour drive away and it makes no sense, then yeah you should have already gotten ready for your urban camping trip
WHAT?!? thats wild!Well folks won that shuffle earlier in the week and what happens? Someone stole it right out of the box. Had to be an employee, there's no chance a porch pirate messed with it.
Do you mean you got shipped an empty shipping box (literally got nothing at all), or do you mean you got shipped an empty product box (you got an empty EVGA box)?Well folks won that shuffle earlier in the week and what happens? Someone stole it right out of the box. Had to be an employee, there's no chance a porch pirate messed with it.
3070 also in stock $869. Not great but....its in stock.
This 3080 and the $2500 3090 have been available for quite some time already.
That sucks man :'(Well folks won that shuffle earlier in the week and what happens? Someone stole it right out of the box. Had to be an employee, there's no chance a porch pirate messed with it.
It was kind of unbelievable. UPS guy drops off package at doorstep, I hear truck pulling away so I go pick it up. Box was clearly opened (had the 4 corner fold to keep it closed) and of course when I check inside the side of the GPU box was pulled open with no GPU inside.
Christ, what an asshole.
Newegg quite literally stopped shipping to our post office at one point because the mail clerks were stealing all the packages labeled newegg. I'm surprised they still ship with their logo on boxes anymore.
Wow that's sad. Good thing evga just does plain boxes.
Yeah, that really sucks getting ripped off. When I got my 3080 via the shuffle, UPS was playing games. The driver dropped off another box on our porch with a sticker saying they missed us for the required signature on the card. Never touched the doorbell as my wife was home. Then they tried to immediately divert it to CVS to hold for pick up. I called UPS and had them re-attempt delivery. Luckily, I got it the next day, with no signature required of course. The shipping label itself had EVGA name and model number on it. Talk about ripe for the plucking.
Might've been fine. They actually do ID checks at hold for pickup locations and everything I order from Zotac goes to a hold for pickup if I'm not home. Lots of lazy/busy drivers lately who'll just throw a note up instead of ringing.
I’d sort of love an ITX card… I could move my one non-LHR 3070 too and make a tiny amount of money hmm … either way thanks for sharing!
"Hey that's f*cking illegal" haha... umm what?
Wow 2 whole weeks eh? So basically wait until the next drop? Or have they been dropping more frequently?
Back in August I arrived at 0930 (two hours after the tickets were handed out) and still got a 3090 FE with basically one person in front of me before walking in. They had extras of the 3090's and people were walking away when that was all that was left. Anyone not getting a 3090 in that situation is for sure either on their parents' budget or a POS poor scalper. Get a 3080 for $1300-1500 online, or get a 3090 for a similar price in person within 5 minutes.
Yeah... If I attempted the lines/did what you did, I'd for sure be walking out w/ the 3090 if that's all that is left especially at retail msrp.
I chose to get the 3090 over a 3080 solely on the basis that I spent 30 minutes driving there and 5 minutes from the time I parked my car to the time I left the parking lot. I'm convinced that poverty-stricken scalpers are the only ones that would devote that much time and effort and leave with nothing short of a 3070 or 3080. Starting to think that everyone who wants a 3000 series card to play games has already gotten one based on the availability of 3090's and the fact that 3080's are being scalped for nearly the same price.
