Tried that. Didn't help much. Just made me feel guilty.

What a shitshow. They need to create a high demand system that works differently from the just in time crap. I had so many in my cart from various sites only to lose them.

Na, fuck all that and fuck your good ass day. It's been a shit day. My 2 month old daughter had to get 3 shots in her legs today and I missed getting any card. It's been a shit day for my family. Glad your having a grand ol' time. Sun's always shining on Siri.

Let's focus on the future after this launch day drama. When will the availability get to a normality? What happened with RTX20 series?

I'm not really mad. I feel worse for my daughter. Though tbh, she's took the shots like a champ according to my wife and by the time she got home to me she's all smiles. She's just been super tired today I think from the shots.

Weird, I never encountered a single FPS drop on non-modded version of the game on my 2080Ti...Finally first GPU powerful enough to run Witcher 3 maxed out at 4K in the most demanding benchmark location.

Managed to order MSI Ventus 3X OC. But now our local retailer site is down and I can't even pay for it online. Damn.

The zotac on Amazon has to be broken. It's still up for 699€. That can't be right. Furthermore early benchmarks show that it is slower then the FE. Fuck me hard
Same here, thankfully I managed to grab an ASUS TUF and an EVGA FTW3 Ultra from Amazon.co.uk, even though both of them were already TOS, so lets see if Amazon receives any of those, keeping my fingers crossed for the EVGA

Here's their benchmark location. Remember they are using maxed out settings, hair works included.
Most benchmark sites test games in typical scenarios, however the same game can run literally 2x worse in the most demanding location. I remember GTA5, game run around 80fps on my PC in the city area, however grassy areas were much more demanding 30-40fps.

So true. I'm grateful for my good health. I honestly just stressed over a GPU for 6 hours straight. I need a whiskey lol

You were able to get two and now you're looking for a third? Or did I mis-read that?

They are fine. I bought from them in the past. Sometimes they can take a while to ship if the demand is very high.
I ordered a second zotac from amazon. Am I the scalper now?
Yeah, fuck you. If everyone does that shit you're doing no wonder other people don't get to buy a card.

I went to this location and even on my heavily modified version of the game (and I mean HEAVILY) it holds 60FPS just fine.Here's their benchmark location. Remember they are using maxed out settings, hair works included.

The thing is none of them are in stock, there’s no guarantee to get any of them, that’s why I went for those I could add to the basket even though they weren’t on stock.
With Amazon you can’t rest assured when ordering items temporary out of stock man, they might just cancel the order put of nowhere

That's what two stores in my area told me, as well.

Ah, I don't seem to get an option to order on Amazon US if it's out of stock. (edit: For these cards, anyways.)

If the item is not available you can’t add it to your cart, however some others might be just “Temporary Out of Stock”, that means they might get more units, but it’s not a safe bet

At the age of 36 having been through every major console launch and having decent success, this has got to be the biggest shit show of launches that I have ever participated in.
With that said I was FINALLY able to get Overclockers.uk to load and purchase a MSI 3080 Gaming Trio X, the money has been taken, I have the confirmation email. I have no clue when i'll get it but at this point I don't even care.

Those partner GPUs look ugly
Nice McLaren broski
Yea, I'd say the coolers on about 99.9% of all GPUs ever made look like complete ass.

No dice at best buy. Said they were coming but no definitive date for the shipment.

The Zotac 3080 page in Amazon.de is totally broken. I'm sure we'll receive a slew of "We're sorry, we had to cancel your order" mails tomorrow.

To be honest i dont expect any of those to get trough. You can STILL order them no problem on amazon with delivery on the 19th. Either there is a bug in the system or Zotac got 10 times the GPU of the other vendors and sent their whole stock to amazon.de.

Still not really my thing. Makes me think of Nolan's batmobile, but with neon running lights.

That's not exactly the same spot because you should see castle in the distance. Also I dont know what exact settings you are using (some mods can improve not just graphics quality but performance as well).
Here's another proof 2080ti cant maintain 60fps everywhere when game is maxed out (hairworks included)
2GHz 2080ti dips even below 49fps in one place and stock 2080ti would dip even lower.

Me neither, they’re still ugly. The FE though is so damn beautiful. Digging the design

Zotac is the best looking one for me. Got their 2080ti, hoping the 3080 pulls through. They have a loyal customer here. I would also say their "AMP" and "AMP Extreme" lines are the ones to keep an eye on for performance.
That aside, I'm not convinced by those people showing off 10+ FE ordered. Probably just editing the little HTML on the gmail page and showing off.
