gently caress YOU EVGA!

You send me a loving notification that the FTW is in stock, I rush over to your lovely site and by the time I'm done deal with all the loving retarded redirects you kept on throwing at me that poo poo is sold out. God fuckingn drat your site is garbage, how loving hard is it to have a god drat pay with paypal button, ship to paypal address. Why the gently caress do I have to log in and make a loving account, holy loving poo poo if you're going to make me jump through your garbage onboarding process at least make your site not loving poo poo.

This is what happened to me last tuesday and I just gave up and bought a ZOTAC 1070 Amp because for some mysterious reason it was in stock for like 5 hours. No regrets.

Received mine today and just tried it out with The Witcher 3 using max settings and Fast Sync on my 1440p 60Hz monitor.

It looks and plays magnificently.

What I don't understand is why the GPU is reaching 1936 MHz when the boost clock is set at 1847 MHz (normal 1708 MHz). It is using default settings according to the Precision OC X tool.

My Zotac 1070 does the same thing. I have never really bothered with overclocking before building this PC so I just figured that was typical. From what I've gathered the boost clock is guaranteed to be stable, but if your card can hit a higher number safely it will.

I've decided I'm going to create a GPU company, and while our performance may be middling our company will be built on a guarantee: there will be stock for you to buy one.

We will achieve this guarantee by implementing a technology to determine whether the card is being used to make BitCoins and setting the host PC on fire if it is.

same but i'll have it send half the bitcoins to my wallet first

Speaking of this.

I kinda gotta wonder about the reduce latency thing they touted. Like I'm sure that its cool and all but wouldn't the pros / people wanting to be pros not really use it much? Sure its fine at home when you are shooting pubbies but if you went to an actual competition wouldn't it throw you completely off since it wouldn't be enabled?

Wouldn't you be best served practicing with equipment you'd be using at a tourney?

As long as the tourney is using machines with Nvidia cards (9xx or above I read?) and the game supports it they should be fine. You're usually allowed to change in game settings as long as there aren't any banned configurations. And I think the part about needing a 360hz gsync monitor is just for testing system latency.

I think it's nearly what they hyped it up as by some metrics, but a marketing claim like "double the performance" even if true won't apply to every scenario.

Actually I'm changing my perspective here.

I don't think anyone got one from best buy/ nvidia/ amazon etc.

I think that's all fake. Literally no one has gotten one outside of niche euro retailers...

And best buy just updated back to Coming Soon.

I dunno man. This seems like meat might still be on the menu boys

Perhaps wishful thinking but none of this is making sense, if it was real SOME people would have gotten one even with bots

A friend of mine got one through Best Buy, definitely real. 99% botted.

I don't even get how a lot of these botters expect to receive their orders. Like one dude got 30 confirmation emails to the same email address, what the poo poo? And what are these people paying with, 30 different credit cards?

I probably just don't get some way they're doing it I guess, seems super easy to track on paper.

I imagine its email forwarding and PO boxes.

That number keeps creeping up, yet it’s still OOS...

i hate it, but it is possible that nvidia is canceling some of the obvious bot orders and we'll get a second chance once somebody flips a switch

what i'm saying is never leave your computer, keep hitting f5.

I’m actually relieved I didn’t jump the gun on the founders edition and happy that despite everything, Canada Computers had a waiting list for serious customers willing to pay up front for a card.

The reviews point to the Asus cards being pretty good so I’m more than happy to get in line for one given the joy and mileage my ROG1070 gave me.

I wish there was a line I could join.

Amazon ZOTAC, might be a preorder for the 30th. Also doesn't seem to run very good with the fan stop profile according to https://www.techpowerup.com/review/zotac-geforce-rtx-3080-trinity/31.html. I'm taking the risk I guess.

Weird, tried switching item codes for other 3080s. Some work while others (FTW3 for example) do not. Guessing those don't exist in the backend system with dates yet

Here's a link somebody pasted in the NVIDIA discord that seems to have all the cards on it.
