Carter Hayes Yeah, I don’t think the seller will actually get paid though. If you have 50k to buy a $700 card, you probably have contacts to obtain it already.
Yup. I wonder how many went to Amazon and I wonder if there was any side-dealing. Mark my words, watch how many sales are on the Amazon site and that will tell you where they all went. This is another reason why I HATE Amazon. They also pay down their shipping costs with their own profit to make sales more attractive, while crushing the mom and pop stores. They spent about 2 Billion dollars last year of their own money to pay down shipping costs. Poor ethics IMO. Maybe I'm wrong, but watch the sales numbers.
I was clicking refresh on best buy, amazon, and newegg. Amazon never showed anything. Newegg fell on its face, then teased me with a single model "in stock" but broke when I clicked it, and best buy never even showed in stock and that is were I spent most of the time because I wanted the FE card.
Just picked up a recently released version of this card and there’s no longer a red clown smile on the side! Didn’t look that bad to me but the switch-to-black decision makes it look pretty damn good.

No. This launch was fake to artificially raise the price when the cards do actually drop. All whilst making Nvidia look like the good guys.. "ohhh were sorry they're sold out.. but they were only 699.99!"
That was the plan.. give reviewers the awesome FE cards to get high praise and then force everyone else to buy third party cards for much higher price (and low stock to drive demand up to make sure people are willing to pay extra to get one)

The closest a consumer can get to a fair price for product. It's worked well for me to this point. I continue to buy the best value card within a certain price range.
Subcon959 the fe had a clear advantage in the benchmarks but they were tied on actual games. If you only run benchmarks you need to buy FE. AIB works fine for games.
subcon959 they don’t make any money off the extra 50$ they sell the circuit boards to the vendors that’s where they make their profit after that the vendors do what they want with them.
What you mean it was still available on NewEgg when I just checked and finally just sold out on NewEgg, Amazon still hasn't launched their products and Nivida hasn't even launched their flagships yet. I'd look on amazon and refresh the page until they drop, as well as the Nividas homepage.
The embossed E's on the card are likely there because turbulent airflow exchanges much more heat than laminar airflow - it adds texture to force the airflow over the fan vanes to become turbulent. Basically it's to help increase the cooling efficiency.

@@yasser-a Especially on New SHIT. That egg cracked and crashed at 9 pm EST exactly then when I got in "Out of stock". Tho I managed to buy MSI GAMING X TRIO from amazon.
Other than the red trim, I LOVE the design EVGA took. It brings me back to the GTX700 series which I loved. To me, they peaked in the GTX900 series. The 980TI Classified was the BEST looking cooler design, ever.
There was one with bids over $94,000. I took screenshots. Obviously shady things happening, since it listed last night before anyone could have one for $800 and the first bid was $11,900.
I just picked up the EVGA 3080 today. Luckily I have friends who work at a retailer and they let me know when they came in stock again. I was so excited to find out the 3080s were back in stock via text, but when I went into the store and found out it was the EVGA version, I was like "Damn....this thing is just a $750 toy". I was really hoping on getting the TUF gaming one or the Asus version, those two are beautiful.
Do you blame them? They want to advertise their product. Why would they give them to random buyers? These reviewers know what they’re doing and know what they’re talking about. I have no clue why you’re mad because it makes perfect sense to me. Edit: I didn’t realize this was a joke. Forgive me masters.
I was stupid enough to spend hours this morning waiting outside of my local Best Buy... They didn't have any 3080s - looks like this was a paper launch on Nvidia's part to create feelings of scarcity.
My local microcenter had 10 in stock (2 asus tuf & 8 evga) and were only available for in store purchase. I'm sure there was a line of people this morning.
I like EVGA for a variety of reasons, #1 being customer and tech support. I have an X299 Dark, T2 PSU, 2080Ti and their AIO. I have been a customer since the X58 which STILL runs on a machine! Money can't by good service!
I personally think all the AIB cards look really bad this time around, like can we just stop with the GAMER aesthetics already? They just feel really outdated with all that angular gamer-red and rgb. I'd really like it if they followed nvidia's design language and made something that looks as good but has better cooling, is that too much to ask for?
@@EnhancedTrashBin They were never in stock. Nobody got them. They wen't from "coming soon" to "sold out" instantly. Maybe people had bots that scooped them all up but it wasn't the regular people camping with the refresh button.
@@roshankattil8584 No I dont. And I'm not enough of a wizard to code it myself. My personal plan is to wait until February or March anyway so I'm not sweating it. Let the bugs and optimizations roll out before I spend a bunch of money. If the 3090 doesn't give me at least 20-25% more performance I'll probably go with a 3080 anyway.
sad because it looks so nice.. but also the 3070 has a 12 pin to 8 pin and since the 12 pin is the same size.. why didn't they just go for an 8 pin? Better going for an AIB especially with 3070 so you can get 2x 8 pin
This. Time for retailers to implement some kind of anti-bot purchasing systems. It was crazy. I had 3 sites open and all 3 went straight to out of stock for me seconds after 6ampst.
I was able to get through the check-out process up to the final screen and then clicked the final purchase button only to got an out of stock notification several times. A few times the shipping/pick-up dates switched throughout the check-out process to weeks away and then said it was out of stock due to high demand. Worse part of all this is so many of the people who got it only bought it to resell it for a profit. Guess I will have to keep rocking the 1080 TI a little bit longer.
I thought you would mention the low power limit, that constantly throttles the clock down below 1900 or even 1800, or the undersized cooler that needs higher fan speeds to keep the GPU cool. Though perhaps you hadn't had access to the higher end cards at the time. I needed to undervolt mine to keep the clocks stable at 1935MHz, and prevent power limits being reached constantly.
newegg: hey we got the new 3080s available now also newegg: We're just gonna ignore the possibility of the site crashing and let the bots snipe them all since we're making money either way.
@@ccricers There's outta have some real BS production numbers. Some national retailers got LESS than 5 cards per STATE. And in AUS they're using a lottery system to sell FE cards. All the RUclipsrs pushed people onto a hype train for whats effectively a "paper launch". Shame.
Definitely like the older EVGA cooler Jay showed. I have the FTW2 1070 Ti and I love the look of that cooler. Very industrial looking. For me, the EVGA 3080 would be best in Black, Black/Grey, White or White with some black accents. Covers most peoples's aesthetics.
Hey Jay, want to comment on how ridiculous this launch was in terms of scalpers and botters? The simplest fix for botters is a Captcha, it blows my mind how simple the fix is, and it makes me think Nvidia doesn’t want to fix it.
Why would they want to fix it? They make money off of scalpers. It’s sales. They only care about money. They don’t care who is buying it. As long as they get their money.
they may or may not because a lot of the time the higher prices are set by demand. if demand outstrips supply. *shrug* plus there was a the retailers scalping the shit of everyone during the big bitcoin mining craze.
Why don't the major UK vendors do it then? It's not in their interests to be down for hours. Is it impossible normal demand is spiking demand higher than these sites ever nornally have?
For $50 more, it depends how much quieter it is. My 2080 Ti (EVGA, even) gets pretty noisy under load, even with a custom fan curve. The default fan curve is even louder and not pleasant to hear. Although I’m probably going to get a 3090 in the next 6 months, noise and temps are my primary consideration, because they go hand in hand.
Got mine a few days ago from BB, can confirm it came with black lipstick instead of red! It's boosting to 1900 at 75-80c, super happy, don't care if it might be 100 bucks cheaper on BF I'ma gaming now.
@void nebula it better not be I so want one as I placed the darn order on Nvidia FE and the order went through, then Nvidia sent me a nice email saying sorry out of stock order cancelled 🤣
I would think just having the normal power connectors makes the card worth more with it being backwards compatible for all current power supplies and it looks better where the cables plug in.
@Shield Wall Across Reddit i think i've only seen 10 confirmations of actual purchases (not FE cards btw) with only 3 providing a screenshot of an order confirmation.
Right? Sat in best buys parking lot an hour before they open. Start refreshing at 9, says "coming soon" till like 9:10 then it says "sold out" after 1 more refresh". For me to get in the line at the best buy and the employee says "we don't have any 3080s in the store". Like wtf. 1 refresh and it skips right to sold out. Like how. Lmao
@@thedrumman2019 I have a feeling that the brick and mortar stores never even got any cards. My wife ran to best buy today, and the sales person said they never got any in stock, with no way to even order them.
This is so sad, but so true. I would say 4-6 months before we see consistent stock available for actual advertised prices. You know for months, the second these things become available bots will snag all of them until the eBay sales drop.
Sepharos I was trying on Newegg Best Buy bhphotography and nvidia site only seen add Cart pop up once for a card on Best Buy by the thing I went to check out after adding it was sold out
It was even out of stock before the mails ... Mails came on my side at 4pm ... 3pm I started refreshing buy screen ... 3:05 Notify me button disappeared ... into a out of stock message XD 3:20 I saw a buy button short time but it would not add anything to card. Reseller site in Germany completely broken. Only Gigabytes OC Card was listed as in stock but you'd never get it into card. After 45 Minutes I got it through the buying process but it was in "unknown" avaialability status then again. I mean I wanted a Gigabyte Card anyways, but ... well even with order confirmation you now have paid and never know when it will be delivered XD
I'm amazed that GPU design's haven't flipped around the PCB (on top instead of underneath) or the fans to opposite way. (blowing away instead of onto the card)
"Are here" is a bold statement considering they're already gone

Other than the red trim, I LOVE the design EVGA took. It brings me back to the GTX700 series which I loved. To me, they peaked in the GTX900 series. The 980TI Classified was the BEST looking cooler design, ever.
Plot twist: Nvidia is the eBay resellers and the $5000 price tags are what they actually wanted to sell their cards for
hahahaah
I saw one for 60K today.
I mean has anybody seen someone who managed to buy a FE 3080 🤔
Hey it looks good to their shareholders that they sold out everywhere so they’re okay with it! :)
There was one with bids over $94,000. I took screenshots. Obviously shady things happening, since it listed last night before anyone could have one for $800 and the first bid was $11,900.
Best Buy: Coming Soon
Best Buy 1 Picosecond later: Sold Out
I refreshed the page every 2 seconds, I never even got the "add to cart" button, it was just sold out

I just picked up the EVGA 3080 today. Luckily I have friends who work at a retailer and they let me know when they came in stock again. I was so excited to find out the 3080s were back in stock via text, but when I went into the store and found out it was the EVGA version, I was like "Damn....this thing is just a $750 toy". I was really hoping on getting the TUF gaming one or the Asus version, those two are beautiful.
Smh they gave all 25 cards they had to the reviewers
facts😕
Do you blame them? They want to advertise their product. Why would they give them to random buyers? These reviewers know what they’re doing and know what they’re talking about. I have no clue why you’re mad because it makes perfect sense to me.
Edit: I didn’t realize this was a joke. Forgive me masters.
Anakin the point isn’t that they gave it out to reviewers, it’s that they don’t have many cards
@@Anakin0217 It's a joke because they are already out of stock. OP made the joke that nvidia only had reviewer samples ready
@@Anakin0217 The joke is not strong with this one.
I was stupid enough to spend hours this morning waiting outside of my local Best Buy...
They didn't have any 3080s - looks like this was a paper launch on Nvidia's part to create feelings of scarcity.
f😕
shocking!
no, the scarcity is real. it's a marketing price.
I don't think they sold it on local retailers, it's just an nvidia website thing where you buy from there. All their cards got sold because bots
My local microcenter had 10 in stock (2 asus tuf & 8 evga) and were only available for in store purchase. I'm sure there was a line of people this morning.

Yeah they started hitting New Egg about 15 minutes ahead of the release time and basically DoSing the site

I personally think all the AIB cards look really bad this time around, like can we just stop with the GAMER aesthetics already? They just feel really outdated with all that angular gamer-red and rgb. I'd really like it if they followed nvidia's design language and made something that looks as good but has better cooling, is that too much to ask for?
asus: you want more GAMER cards? say no more
The Strix 3080 looks amazing
how else can they appeal to people with money who arent in the know? or make kids bug their parents for the new cool looking card?
Taste and class doesn't come naturally to everyone. Simple as that.
It's expensive, that's why. The Nvidia FE is in limited supply for a reason.

@@EnhancedTrashBin They were never in stock. Nobody got them. They wen't from "coming soon" to "sold out" instantly. Maybe people had bots that scooped them all up but it wasn't the regular people camping with the refresh button.
@@roshankattil8584 No I dont. And I'm not enough of a wizard to code it myself. My personal plan is to wait until February or March anyway so I'm not sweating it. Let the bugs and optimizations roll out before I spend a bunch of money. If the 3090 doesn't give me at least 20-25% more performance I'll probably go with a 3080 anyway.
"$100 Founder's Edition tax doesn't exist this time around"
Makes sense...the card doesn't even exist. . . .
:P
sad because it looks so nice.. but also the 3070 has a 12 pin to 8 pin and since the 12 pin is the same size.. why didn't they just go for an 8 pin? Better going for an AIB especially with 3070 so you can get 2x 8 pin

Nikolay Klimchuk how did you get the check?
I was able to get through the check-out process up to the final screen and then clicked the final purchase button only to got an out of stock notification several times. A few times the shipping/pick-up dates switched throughout the check-out process to weeks away and then said it was out of stock due to high demand. Worse part of all this is so many of the people who got it only bought it to resell it for a profit. Guess I will have to keep rocking the 1080 TI a little bit longer.
Me too :(
lol my r9 270x from 7 yrs ago is still going hard
Yeah one was listed for 2k on ebay, can't stand those people. Take all the joy away from us who actually want them.
The better card is obviously the 3080 but you could still go with the 1080ti for atleast another year and probably get maxed settings.
Only got one item to cart today, which then failed so I'm totally jelly of your 1080 TI, still rockin my 980
I thought you would mention the low power limit, that constantly throttles the clock down below 1900 or even 1800, or the undersized cooler that needs higher fan speeds to keep the GPU cool. Though perhaps you hadn't had access to the higher end cards at the time. I needed to undervolt mine to keep the clocks stable at 1935MHz, and prevent power limits being reached constantly.

Definitely like the older EVGA cooler Jay showed. I have the FTW2 1070 Ti and I love the look of that cooler. Very industrial looking. For me, the EVGA 3080 would be best in Black, Black/Grey, White or White with some black accents. Covers most peoples's aesthetics.

Hey Jay, want to comment on how ridiculous this launch was in terms of scalpers and botters? The simplest fix for botters is a Captcha, it blows my mind how simple the fix is, and it makes me think Nvidia doesn’t want to fix it.
Why would they want to fix it? They make money off of scalpers. It’s sales. They only care about money. They don’t care who is buying it. As long as they get their money.
they may or may not because a lot of the time the higher prices are set by demand. if demand outstrips supply. *shrug* plus there was a the retailers scalping the shit of everyone during the big bitcoin mining craze.
Why don't the major UK vendors do it then? It's not in their interests to be down for hours.
Is it impossible normal demand is spiking demand higher than these sites ever nornally have?
They want you to buy AIB. Believe it or not that’s their highest margins
Looks like Nvidia wants us to buy Radeon cards, lol
For $50 more, it depends how much quieter it is. My 2080 Ti (EVGA, even) gets pretty noisy under load, even with a custom fan curve. The default fan curve is even louder and not pleasant to hear.
Although I’m probably going to get a 3090 in the next 6 months, noise and temps are my primary consideration, because they go hand in hand.
1 second.
That’s all it took for thousands of people’s dream to be crushed.
Mine included.
