Sergio Perez SP11 173 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Went to Microcenter 2 hours before they opened, The line wrapped around the building and down the block.... I had too much to do at work to just sit around Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Remij 4,670 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I've never seen anything like this for a GPU ever before.. that I can remember anyway. Still feeling good about my 3090 FE though Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Still feeling good about my 3090 FE though The 2000 series being such a weak jump in rasterization performance as well as being overpriced played a huge roll here obviously.

Substatic 420 Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) Those Microcenter people are stupid, it basically sold out early in the morning due to vouchers lol. Like we're talking before 5 AM. Almost none of them will get one Also FE is okayish at best, a lot of AIBs have better thermals and noise as expected. And performance if you care for 2-5% depending on price. Edited September 17, 2020 by Substatic Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully EVGA keeps those 3080's coming to my Microcenter. EVGA HQ and Microcenter are 15 minutes from eachother Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EVGA HQ and Microcenter are 15 minutes from eachother I could see the stock for my local Microcenter, they had Qty 10 of one card, and Qty 2 of the other card, and both listing said in store only. Your local Microcenter almost certainly did not have hundreds of video cards. I doubt they had more than 20. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Substatic 420 Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) There was actually some that had 80 after another shipment came, but over 200 people showed up so RIP to most either way. Gonna be rough getting one in september i'd say, will calm down tho. I guess that's not too bad can watch all the indepth reviews of each card. Asus TUF OC seems to deliver the goods, 15 degrees colder, quieter, and 6% better performance according to HWU (vs FE). Edited September 18, 2020 by Substatic Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Like I said EVGA HQ is 15 minutes away so I can totally seep 20+ of each of those 2 EVGA GPUs altho I’m surprised they didn’t get any FTW3’s at all.

jehurey 3,227 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Well, thank fucking god I was able to get in a couple of orders at Adorama.com Try checking there right now, search for RTX 3080 and you should see their listings, which were originally just 4 yesterday, expand to include like 5 different EVGA models. The problem is, its really to tell which model is which and you have to guess by the price. Two of them are FTW3 models, and the rest appear to be XC3 models at different prices. You would be placing a backorder with them, but they are at least accepting the orders. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 3,892 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Someone created a twitter bot that scans sites and then posts when a card is in stock. While this is cool in theory I feel like its going to make it easier for scalpers to continue buying up all the stock that becomes available https://twitter.com/BotRtx?s=20 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 3,892 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Also a card just sold on amazon for $4k some people have too much money and way too little patience. You could buy almost 3 3090s for that price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,227 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Newegg accidentally listed the prices for the upcoming RTX 3090 cards from the AIB vendors. Like one of them, the crappiest, still maintains the same $1,499 pricing. A couple are $30 to $60 dollars higher than the FE. And then there's one that's $100 higher. And then the rest are $200 to $300 higher than the FE's price. $1799 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Price to performance ratios should include the rest of the PC as well, not just the GPU rtx 3080 build $1500 rTx 3070 build $1300 RTX 3080 build is 30% faster for 15% more cost Quote Link to post Share on other sites
