If you're in Canada, MCS just put up their 3080 preorders for the partner cards:

Nice thanks! Ordered an EVGA one, it's weird to not know even which year it'll ship but it's something.

I wish there were even rumours about when Mike's Computer Shop will get it's stock. They shipped out a few ZOTAC 80/90s last week and nothing since.

I emailed Mike's about an EVGA 3080 order and they said they have zero clue when they're getting any AIBs. Sadly they also charged me in full first so I may just refund and F5 nVidias site.

So for anyone still trying to get a 3080, have they been in stock anywhere long enough for non-bots to get them or are they all basically still instantly sold out?

The latter. Like in the Discord that I'm using for notifications that's been linked in this thread each stock-up for FEs has a few people get them but the quantities are either very small or it's still botters.

There aren't as many bots as at release. The Discord has like 6000 people watching it plus you've got other Discords as well and people with their own trackers or page refreshers. The batches retailers are getting are insanely small and the demand is unreal.

Yeah that's what I said, "either very small or it's still botters". I came damned close to getting one on Thursday too but I had forgotten to bookmark the checkout page and by the time I found the link after the JS flow was failing me they were sold out.

Anyone knows why Amazon Canada seems to have received 0 3080 card from EVGA since launch?
You basically want your listing to be Prime-eligible on Amazon.ca (and .com) so the vendors would need to ship a minimum quantity to the fulfillment centers in Canada first. I would guess that with the tiny amounts it's not worth it to do that yet since there's such a backlog of orders directly with the AIBs.

I don't know if there's any point yet, even with the nvidia-snatcher script getting hits on Newegg.ca and Amazon I cannot get anything through the checkout fast enough. There are a *lot* of people still sniping all new inventory.

GFN supports Steam cloud saves and I don't believe Stadia does, so if you want to keep playing the same save away from your PC GeForce Now is the one to go with.

A tropical juice drink was named POG, after Passion fruit-Orange-Guava created in 1971. Children started playing a game with bottle caps from the drink, and called the game POG. A video was uploaded to the internet in 2010 of a POG tournament, and the winner made the face used in the POGChamp emote. People started using it as a reaction to a high skill play, then started shortening it to POG. Then someone made a bunch of Pepe the Frog replacement emotes for the regular twitch emotes, and poggers was the Pepe the Frog version of POGChamp.

Edit: forgot the last bit. The Pepe the Frog poggers emote is only available through people using a custom browse extension for Twitch chat, so users without that extension just see the text "poggers" and not the emote.

I mean you kinda need the pic

Walmart (like Amazon) has an entire marketplace backend where any seller can sell things, you can tell by the "Sold & shipped byMemoryC" at the bottom.

Not that it makes it any better, but at least it's not them directly doing it.

I managed to get my order in for a 3080 today, thanks to a Canadian stock monitoring twitch stream of all things.

edit: in case it helps someone else - https://www.twitch.tv/war10ck3d

Thanks, do they put the link in the chat or something when it goes off? I ordered from Mike's on launch day basically and they have seen zero cards of what I went for (the RTX 3080 FTW3).

As a Canadian with no access to brick and mortar stores, I feel like I will never get one. I've been on Discords for close to 2 months now and I don't think we had more than 3 alerts for 3080.

Yeah it sucks. Another Canadian goon earlier suggested this Twitch channel, I'm leaving it on in the background.

The system I built over the weekend is a 5600X/3070/32 GB/game installed on an NVME SSD. This is the first game I've run on the system but I'm assuming that these crashes probably aren't related to my hardware. I made sure to update the GPU drivers after I installed Windows on the PC.

Have you updated the BIOS to the latest (beta if possible)? I built a new B550 build and though it worked out of the box with a 5800x I had weird issues until I updated.

Weird question but with all the drama about 3 power connectors for a GPU I was wondering why the card I got (a 3090 Gigabyte Vision OC) only needs two power connectors. If this gigantic thing works with two why do some need three?

Good to know.

With the proviso that all benchmarks are artificial tests that are stupid and dumb, what are the cool kids using to do the thing these days? Passmark? 3DMark? Don't say furmark; I want to talk about fire, not start one.

Cinebench and 3DMark seem pretty popular.

Settings seemed okay when you apply and back out, it seemed to forget changes I made in the sub-settings menu after a benchmark run though.

Also god it feels nice to play a game that looks and feels this good again after bouncing off of Starfield (also I feel so spoiled having a map).

Okay, but these PCI-E latches are basically a joke these days with the size of these GPUs and CPU coolers, right? How the gently caress am I supposed to get my hands and/or a screwdriver in there? I am getting too old for this.
I literally spent like 10 minutes with a headband-lamp and a chopstick to get a 4090 out of a "premium" X570 Aorus Pro motherboard, what a loving joke.
