Mr.Vic20 Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 Although I really want a 3xxx series card, I accept that even in a good year Nvidia would have fucked this up. So I'll set my hopes on snagging one by Christmas! Was hoping to heat my house with my 3090 this winter! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boyle5150 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 so serious question: If you have a 3080 and game pass ultimate, then is there any reason to get a series X? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best to wait for a 3080. Hell you might even be alright to wait for the 4xxx series. Depending on your resolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link200 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 1 hour ago, Zaku3 said: Same. Just gonna show up in the morning at microcenter and see if they got in any. Failing that I will probably wait and see what I can find. The RX 6700 might be on the cards at that point. The closest Microcenter to me is 45 minutes away. I was thinking about driving down on the 24th but they aren't exactly helpful on any specifics. I texted them to see what the line was like this morning for 3080s (apparently people were there pretty early) and they just referred me to a generic FAQ. They were completely unhelpful since I just wanted to know if they were even going to get 3090s and if making the drive was worth the effort. I'm not driving down at 4AM. It isn't that important.

Ya they dont really know what is going on. I am not sure why Nvidia wants this launch to be so secret. Probably just to drive up hype/demand. I live in Paterson and was shocked that people lined up last night. They only got in 12 cards in total. I compare it to my 5700XT experience. They weren't sure how many they were getting but I went when they opened and picked one up. Was the 2nd person to do so. They had about 22 or 24 in total.

thedarkstark Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I got in line at Micro Center at 3am, I was 33rd in line. When the store opened at 10am I was informed that they only had 32 cards..... RIP me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbsolutSurgen Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I'm still planning on sticking with my 1070 -- that is until COVID eases up and companies start hiring again. I'll add Control and Cyberpunk to my backlog, and wait to play them in RTX. Hopefully a 3080 or 3070 in the new year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Apparently Nvidia said in a forum that they're going to cancel orders made by bots and update the stock but everyone on Reddit thinks it's PR bullshit.
