That Zotac Store site is complete trash! They're probably using a 10 year old web server.The only thing I saw in the last week is on Zotac’s website (which halts from the traffic) and prebuilts on BestBuy.
That’s something I noticed as well. The first 2-3 weeks had more stock drops than the last 2 weeks. It’s almost like production was halted at some point.are retailers getting new shipments weekly?...5 weeks later and stock still seems non-existent

There are rumors of poor yields with the Samsung 8nm wafers. That might be the cause... who knows.That’s something I noticed as well. The first 2-3 weeks had more stock drops than the last 2 weeks. It’s almost like production was halted at some point.
maybe they stopped the smaller shipments and are gearing up for one major restock...
Yeah I saw that. Would explain the stock issue as the initial “larger” batch has probably dried up and now they are shipping them out as they’re made. Which means even less stock per week.There are rumors of poor yields with the Samsung 8nm wafers. That might be the cause... who knows.

I've invested in GSYNC on several of my monitors but at this point I'll jump ship to AMD if they have a competitive part. This stock situation has me completed disgusted with Nvidia at the moment.Yeah I saw that.

I honestly can see Nvidia accelerating Hopper’s release in 2021 to as soon as summer so that they can move onto TSMC 5nm. They need to get GPUs out or else their revenue from Ampere is going to be trash.
Typically I go to where the performance is or where the best bang for buck is. Which is why I switched from Intel to AMD for the CPU in anticipation of Zen 3. If AMD's Big Navi trounces on the 3080/3090 and at a fair price I'd cautiously but strongly consider making the switch. If they're similar in performance I'll just stick with my 3080.I've invested in GSYNC on several of my monitors but at this point I'll jump ship to AMD if they have a competitive part.

My last experience with an AMD card was the R9 390. Fantastic hardware that was driven by less polished drivers than what I was used to with Nvidia. My coworker has the 5700XT and experienced black screen issues for 3 months in some of the games he played and vowed to not buy AMD on his next GPU. Its shit that I hear like that that makes me anxious about going back to AMD for a GPU again.
It seems there was a pretty big dump on Newegg just now, but of course you couldn't even add to cart by hitting the button. Kept getting an error, and they were all sold out within seconds.
Just slap a waterblock on it, that’s what I’m going to do. No air cooler will beat good ol’ H2O.I think I just scored my second 3080 off Newegg Canada. I currently have an EVGA 3080 XC3 but I wanted an Aorus or similar due to the larger cooler. Order is in packaging so hopefully it goes through.
Got my confirmation for the Aorus Xtreme - it's happening!
Yeah, if you didn't get an email you probably didn't get chosen. Though, they may send out more emails if people that did get chosen have rejected payments, or chose not to get the card, etc. So there could be a second wave for people on the waitlist, hard to say.Was that from the Discord/Facebook event last Friday?
I signed up for that but got nothing...
How did we not get chosen. Wasn’t that cutoff soon after announcement. I never got a darn email. Even though I signed up almost immediately.Yeah, if you didn't get an email you probably didn't get chosen.

if I didn't have a G-Sync monitor I wouldn't have any issue going with Big Navi...but my G-Sync 144hz 1440p monitor is only 2 years old so I'm not going to dump it...
I haven't seen any reviews on the Gigabyte Aorus Extreme...theoretically it should be a good card but my top 2 3080 choices are still the Asus TUF OC/non-OC and the MSI Gaming X Trio...since all 3080 cards basically perform the same it's all about temps and noise
Apparently it's very cool and quiet. This video just went up:
Meh. I bought the AOC 144Hz 3440x1440 in the Summer and it's been great. It has adaptive sync (only advertised as AMD Freesync).if I didn't have a G-Sync monitor I wouldn't have any issue going with Big Navi...but my G-Sync 144hz 1440p monitor is only 2 years old so I'm not going to dump it...

Works well with Nvidia GPUs. Best of both worlds. Don't get locked into one ecosystem. Here's the deal I posted:

Understandable. It's hard to find these specs and for the panel not to be curved.I'm not a fan of curved monitors...
for what, printer paper? Who the fuck sits outside anywhere for 6 hours, black friday excluded?My MC had 3080 and 3090 in stock yesterday but when I went they were closed for a deep cleaning... Seem they had a covid situat5 there and closed most the day. There was a Karen that was all pissed off she has been sitting there for 6 hours waiting for them to reopen...
She was so angry. She drove 20 miles to pick something up they forgot to put in the computer she brought or something she said. She was definitely a Karen. She wanted to chew out the manager I bet more then anything lol.for what, printer paper? Who the fuck sits outside anywhere for 6 hours, black friday excluded?
so would spending time with friends/familyProcuring one of these cards would help take my mind off a bad break-up!
How did you know they were in stock? Is there a way to tell before going to the store?My MC had 3080 and 3090 in stock yesterday but when I went they were closed for a deep cleaning...

If you are being responsible then people should not be doing that right now, at least in my opinion.so would spending time with friends/family
even if you aren't comfortable with in-person meetings with masks and distancing, you can spend time with friends and family on zoom, on the phone, in games....If you are being responsible then people should not be doing that right now, at least in my opinion.
