Anyone else that wasted an hour trying to get these cards, PLE preorders or the Mwave raffle seems like the next best price and way to get a card.

Hi,
Not a lot of news to give everyone this week so we'll kick today's update off with a quick limerick from our marketing team
Once in the middle of a pandemic
Nvidia released a card that would mimic
How a photon behaves
Gamers came out of their caves
And the response truly was seismic
Ha! Great contribution from our marketing team there. Anyway onwards with what information we do have for both RTX3080 and RTX3090.
Today is the first day of Chinese Golden Week, so all factories are on hiatus until Thursday next week. I hope everyone over in China is enjoying their week off!
That means that for some brands that arrive direct from the factory to PLE we received stock this week (or are still waiting for) but not next week.
For other brands that first pass through a distributor in Australia, the week after that is likely to be limited or no stock arriving. Supply chains are fun.
No doubt everyone watched all the videos and read all the forum posts on what type and how many of each type of capacitor each card has. We've seen a number of people changing their orders based on this information.
Early looks at Nvidia's latest drivers are encouraging, initial testing is showing improved stablity and either no change in performance or changes within margin of error.
As you would know, all manufacturers have reiterated to everyone that their cards meet Nvidia specs and will be stable.
It might however be an opportune time to consider if your computer's power supply, cooling systems and cables are up to the task of running an RTX30 card as they can be contributing factors to stablity.
Last week we had a couple of additional Gigabyte RTX3080 models launch (Vision / Aorus Master), that had stock arriving this week. Instead of putting that stock on the website, prior to launch we contacted customers of other cards (in queue order of course!) and offered them the chance to swap to something that had a closer ETA. Some cards have longer queues than others, we expect some of the less popular cards will have their backlogs cleared before the end of October. We will endeavour to keep the process of offering people alternatives to their primary choice as those opportunities arise.
Please see the following information specific to your order:
Your card does not currently have a confirmed ETA. We're expecting larger deliveries commencing late October, you'll likely receive your card in November. As we get closer, you will begin to receive an estimated date from PLE. If we previously told you "late October - early November", really not a lot has changed. We're anticipating that by the end of November everyone that ordered in launch week will have their card. Re-iterating the message from last week, at the 4 - 5 week mark after launch (late October) supply increases exponentially.
If you wish to cancel, you may do so at any time by clicking here. You don't have to feel locked in! Once you cancel, it cannot be undone - you will have to join the queue again.
Our sales team do not have any additional information about your ETA. Please be patient, we've committed to weekly updates to keep everyone in the loop :)
Thanks
PLE Computers
PSA:
PLE are scammers elite.
Bought a card and paid on release night, only to be told the next day that it was actually a pre-order.
I remained on their back over the next week, as their web-site kept updating, indicating new stock arriving prior to when I was told my card would arrive. Twice this happened.
Based on me hounding them, I got my card on the 23rd, only to have been overcharged $50.
They explained that the price between launch & pickup had dropped & if I was unhappy, I could have the card refunded, but there would be no $50 coming my way.
The price had not dropped, they had just overcharged me and if I didn't like it, I lose my card.
I'd advise not dealing with these scumbags, just as I never will again. You may be waiting a long time & you may be overcharged. Their cheery update "we're all in the same boat" emails are just poor marketing.
I'll take your card if you'd like ;)
You can even keep the extra $50.
Don't waste your $50 on me, jump on the never-never plan from PLE right here.
mate, you can just sell it on ebay for a premium and profit from it..
I would of paid the extra $50..
I think your actually lucky to have got a card…
@jt0505t: I did pay the $50 extra - I had no choice.
My post is clearly stating that PLE is cashing in on lucky people getting a card.
@Unsafe: every retailer is cashing in. I've paid RRP for my zotac of $1139 at PLE. Still cheapest anywhere in Australia. So i'm pretty happy and I have to wait until late october.
Sooo you got your card 6 days after they were released worldwide and the price you paid at the time of purchase was $50 less when you picked it up?
If the $50 is so important to you, then just give it back, get a refund and then get back in the queue for another one that is $50 cheaper. If just being one of the few people in the frikken world that have actually GOT their card seems like a reasonable trade-off, then just keep the card and enjoy some super smooth gaming.
Sure, large companies might do a refund of the price difference if the price changes after purchase date, but it is not a law that every single retail store must offer this service.
6 days to get your card? how on earth did you cope? I ordered within 5 minutes the day/time they released at another store and my order status has not changed from processing since that day.
Good luck in your mission to burn their reputation to the ground based on your traumatic experience. They sound very deserving of it all.
Thank you for your sarcasm…but you have misunderstood.
My card was 6 days late & $50 overpriced, the refund of the difference was refused, twice.
A lot of folks are upset they missed out, or haven't recived their card yet. That sucks and is unrelated.
What I'm doing is relaying the facts of PLE's bait & switch, price gouging & corporate bullying tactics.
I posted the info as a warning, heed or don't.
So you expected to pickup your card the day of release and were upset that you had to wait 6 days before holding it. They were made available for sale on the 17th so 6 days from that day was the 23rd - the day you got it. I got that part, thanks.
It was $50 less by the time you picked it up, which was after the day you purchased it for an agreed value, which at the time was $50 more - I got that part too. Like I said, they are under no obligation to offer you the price it changed to after the purchase date. Only big stores like Harvies, Goodguys, JB etc will do that. Expecting them to comply to that because you want them to, does not make it wrong, just unfortunate. They aren't targeting you directly are they? I'm pretty sure everyone will be told the same thing if asked , not just you.
Yeah it sucks that the rest of us are still waiting, it's unrelated because you aren't having to deal with it and we are. Sorry it does not increase the value of your issue. You seem to only want to hear things that further your case, so I guess everything else will be - unrelated.
Bullying? They are forcing you to keep the card are they? No, you just want it for the price you want it at the exact time you want it.
This is not a warning, just your experience based on your own expectations of the world around you.
@Arcticfox: Again, you misunderstood.
The price that I was invoiced was $50 more than the price that I paid at checkout.
I expected to pickup the card, the day after the night it was ordered, as I did not pre-order & I chose a branch that showed the card as "in stock"…plus I recieved an email stating that my order (not pre-order) was successful.
I understand a lot of folks are angry that they have to wait. Angry at Nvidia for dribbling out supply. Angry at retailers for not providing specific updates on delivery timeframes, leaving customers in limbo. Venting at my PSA, which contains thd facts regarding my experience in dealing with the retailer that OP posted about, is not gonna help you get your card sooner. In fact, if you have a card you're waiting on from another retailer, why are you even reading this post, but to start sh1t, or are you in fact associated with PLE?
@Unsafe: All right, let's clear up some confusion then.
1) How much was the card listed on the website for sale
2) How much did you pay for it once you completed checkout
3) How much was it saying on the invoice once sale was processed
And no, I do not work for PLE I don't even live in WA.
@Arcticfox: Look mate, no one is confused except for you, but I'll help you out.
1) X pre-purchase, in-cart & at checkout.
2) X + $50 appeared on my CC immediately - there was no post-checkout receipt displayed on-screen, just a full screen GIF of 2 PLE employees, fist-pumping and some super-large text saying "CONGRATULATIONS - YOUR ORDER WAS SUCCESSFUL!!!"
3) X + $50
PLE is in Melbourne also, but I'll take you at your word.
Man, their customer service is terrible! I just canceled my order. Will not deal with them again
cancelled my order as well, just another delay. If you decide to order/pre-order from them, just choose credit card payment, dont paying in full and wait
I'm waiting for my evga rtx-3080 fw3 ultra, they won't say how big their queue is, will try and source from new egg etc. When I find stock I will decide to refund or not. The limited stock of 3080/90s selling in less than so many mins from launch from most stores is annoying and very disappointing. Manufacturers shouldn't release a product they cannot supply unless they are deliberately releasing them at a slow rate.
This week's email received today.

Hi,
Better news this week! Chinese Golden Week has finished and as anticipated the supply of RTX30 series cards is increasing in line with our expectations and this week has been our biggest week of RTX30 Series allocation so far.
RTX3080
Gigabyte and Zotac: We have now already supplied to customers, or have a confirmation from our supply partner that the card is on (or about to be on) it's way, for 50% of orders.
EVGA, MSI and ASUS: The queue for these brands is bigger but we're receiving reasonable volume and still anticipating for the volume to increase sufficiently to supply the vast majority of cards in November as supply really ramps up towards the end of October / early November.
RTX3090
Zotac: Everyone who has ordered a Zotac RTX3090 either now has their card, or have a confirmation from our supply partner that their card is on it's way!
All other brands: Again, we're receiving reasonable volume and still anticipating to supply vast majority of cards in November.
If you wish to swap card, instead of cancelling your order and placing a new one, we have a new "Swap Card" function you can access by clicking here.
A number of people have asked whether it is better to be in the queue from our Western Australian or Victorian operation. Short version, it doesn't really matter. Long version, some cards (depending on logistics arrangements) have a national queue and some are regionalised. For the regionalised queues when we receive allocation from a manufacturer we can specify the split between regions and do so as per the queue for each card.
Please see the following information specific to your order:
Your card does not currently have a confirmed ETA. We're expecting larger deliveries commencing late October, you'll likely receive your card in November. As we get closer, you will begin to receive an estimated date from PLE. We're anticipating that by the end of November everyone that ordered in launch week will have their card.
If you wish to cancel, you may do so at any time by clicking here. You don't have to feel locked in! Once you cancel, it cannot be undone - you will have to join the queue again.
If you wish to swap to a different card, click here
Our sales team do not have any additional information about your ETA. Please be patient, we've committed to weekly updates to keep everyone in the loop :)
Thanks

i ordered a Zotac the morning after launch at the cheaper $1139 price. My email said PLE are getting my order in between 26/10 - 1/11
I reckon a few people swapped from zotac because of those cheaper parts and CTD's .. I think the newer drivers have orted them out… I dont care as long as its stable and the warranty i think is 5 years?, i'm not overclocking. I just want hdmi 2.1 for my LG C9. And the 10GB doesn't worry me either. I will be selling and upgrade when the 4000 series comes out in 1 or 2 years.
I hope everyone gets their rtx 3080 sooner rather than later.
Have you got the firmware update for your C9 that allows 4K120fps HDR?
doesn't need an update, only if your having issues then you request for the beta update.
"…RTX3080
Gigabyte and Zotac: We have now already supplied to customers, or have a confirmation from our supply partner that the card is on (or about to be on) it's way, for 50% of orders.
This^ bullshit is exactly what I'm talking about. They're saying no more than, half their customers cards are not shipped & neither are the other half.
i had to buy a $800 2080ti while i wait for my 3080 ftw ultra to turn up. really hoping evga are before the end of the month.
Where from?
Ha I wouldn't buy a 2080ti to wait for a 3080 that's crazy and a waste of money. I will just wait or source from wherever has stock.
My XC3 Black is coming tomorrow - or at least according to Auspost, so fingers crossed. My order number was in the high 8700XX for reference.
Seems odd that Techfast are fulfilling their orders from this deal https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/566770 without issue, yet PLE can't get a Gigabyte card to save their lives.
every post you make, you just whinge and whinge lol
You have the patience of a Buddhist monk, but the comprehension of a child.
Please explain how my comprehension is of a child?
I wouldn’t get a Gigabyte card to begin with ha
Still trying to hold on to see if they release a 3080Ti version or a kingpin. But if the Black Friday deal will be good then I might just cave in.
Also what are actually the differences between these other than RGB?
i would highly doubt there will be any friday black on a 3080/3090
I think exactly the same way, after what everyone is going through not exactly sure how Black Friday would work unless all the tech stuff will go on back orders. And which companies can afford huge price drops.
I doubt a 3080 ti will come out as the 3090 is pretty close to the 3080. 2080 and 2080ti were different chips. Nvidia would have to pull something out of their arse if they came out with a 3080 ti.
Very true it would need a major pcb rework. The current line of cards cannot be pushed that much. So for a Ti not sure how long it would take them or if it's ever going to be done, maybe but not soon.
I think a 3080Ti is all but confirmed, but the main difference will be 20gb of VRAM vs 10
https://www.tweaktown.com/news/75553/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3080…
I suppose they might not call it a 3080Ti though
What happens to the free game promotion? When we have no control over stock and waiting times but have ordered within the promotional timeframe. I have a good guess already but will abit of covid-19 leniency come into play here? I.e. Extend the promotional period maybe or offer an alternative.
damn would any of these fit in a coolermaster nr200p
https://www.ple.com.au/Products/643064/eVGA-GeForce-RTX3080-…
want this one but looks like it's like 4 slots thick lol.
I changed my pre-order from the XC3 Ultra (45mm) to the black (no OC/backplate, 41mm) as my current GPU is already cutting it too close to the bottom 25mm intake. If you're willing to run fanless at the bottom you definitely won't have any issues with the FTW range but you should also get away with 15mm fans.
Edit: here's a great SFF resource for reference
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AddRvGWJ_f4B6UC7_Ift…
Going fanless crazy, jamming the 3080 due to hardly any space crazy 😀 especially SFF cases not worth playing with that kind of money when it will be destroyed by heat stroke eventually. If you spend $1200 on a card you should be able to get a bigger case to suit.
https://www.youtube.com/c/MachinesMore
Do watch some of his videos which cover fitment and fans which he goes into detail. There are also a few threads on forums that have shown bottom fans are unnecessary. There is also the option of side mounting the case fans if need be.
Temps are actually quite good on my small case so far, my temporary gpu is slightly bigger than the 3080 I've preordered and I've managed to run 2 x 25mm bottom intake.
It's not about getting the bigger case to suit the $1200 card, I think you've missed the point here. The nr200/p aren't even the smallest small form case out there, and if built correctly there's no reason anyone can't shove a 3080 or even a 3090 in their rig.
And you've gotten the FTW3 dimensions wrong. They're 2.2 slots. Please check your sources again.
@cray: I just got the sizes from the forums, that was from an evga rep to (could of been specs from p re-release who knows) 2.2 vs 2.75 still takes up 3 slots basically. Everyone has their personal opinions. I have never been the one to jams things in. Space and airflow is always a bonus for me.
@Gallif3y don't think a 500w gold would cut it. Not saying it wouldn't boot. If you were to benchmark your system power requirements would go berko. 3x 8pin is 350w+. What does your pc draw currently?
@atleeit: Desk space is at a premium for me unfortunately, and yes like you said, it's a personal thing after all.
I'll have to correct myself, the FTW3 cards are indeed 2.75 slots / 55.5mm thick. It's listed in the spreadsheet I linked earlier. Late night ozbargain is a bad thing.
For my SFF build, the thickness of the card makes a huge difference so the black version's 2.2 slot > 2.75 in my books.
Edit: wrong reply
i'm running a 500w sfx-l, what about you?
There's plenty of information online regarding power requirements for the 3080. NVIDIA recommends 750W. You'll need at a minimum a 650W Gold to run the 3080, would not recommend OC.
I initially bought the SF650 but managed to change to the 750 Plat after I decided I was going for the 3080.
@Gallif3y This is copied from evga forums correct me if I'm wrong
FTW3 cards will be 2.75 slots. Length is 11.81in. - 300mm / Height is 5.38in. - 136.75mm. That means you are left with 30mm for length. 20mm for height. All the 3 slots are used by this card so fans would be pumping heat out hitting bottom of your case and bouncing back up due to minimal space unless the case has massive intake / out take fans sweeping it through the bottom.
Anyone else low key anxious they haven't gotten their weekly update email?
Here you go - not much of an update really but expect to receive it by end of Nov if you ordered in the first week.

Hi,
Another week has passed and we've been able to secure similar volume of RTX30 graphics cards to last week. If you ordered on Launch Night for RTX3080, over 35% of orders now either have their card, or a confirmation from our supply partner that the card is on (or about to be on) it's way.
Unfortunately, this week there isn't a lot of new information to provide other than to check below for your latest ETA information.
As usual you can swap card or cancel your order by clicking here.
If you do wish to swap to a different card, please see this page for a FAQ here and some guideance as to which cards will likely be fulfilled the quickest.
Please see the following information specific to your order:
Your card does not currently have a confirmed ETA. We're expecting larger deliveries commencing late October, you'll likely receive your card in November. As we get closer, you will begin to receive an estimated date from PLE. We're anticipating that by the end of November everyone that ordered in launch week will have their card.
Our sales team do not have any additional information about your ETA. Please be patient, we've committed to weekly updates to keep everyone in the loop :)

If I order tomorrow will I be able to get it at the start of December?
Hopefully the reseller will reply to you if they want a sale. I know they cannot give eta's but they definitely know what the queue is like per brand/model.
@atleeit: I know this isn't the same as the seller providing the exact number of orders per brand/model. But it indicates a trend of the most popular cards and what cards have been fulfilled and from which stores.
https://datastudio.google.com/reporting/b82863d9-17f2-46f4-b…
@TechNerd: @TechNerd it would be great for resellers to tell the truth rather then a bent story. They could tell people how big the queues are rather than a generic email weekly telling everyone absolutely nothing. There weekly email is worthless information to existing waiting customers.
aussie youtuber techyes said thousands of orders at each au retailer (or ones hes friends with) and fulfillment should be jan 2021 for all orders
this isnt word for word, was half paying attention so could be wrong or misquoting, 90% sure this was said tho
At the rate we're going I might think of settling for a 3070. Hopefully will be faster with preorders this time..
same here, the updates from ple have been useless. You would think by now we could of got an estimated eta from them if we had ordered launch day.
I recently went into Austin Computers in Cannington and casually asked about the 3080. They simply told me that they don't do these lottery/pre-order stuff and rather just sell them when the stocks actually come in. No idea on when they're coming in though..
They would be making quite a bit on the bank interest for all these pre-orders.
Another Thursday, another PLE "update" on pre-orders.. I'm really looking forward to the 3070 release now.

Hi,
Over 1,200 RTX30 Series graphics cards have now been supplied to customers or have confirmation from the manufacturer they're on the way to PLE.
Some cards are being fulfilled quicker than others and some have longer queues than others - hang in there folks, cards are flowing and we're working hard to ensure everything is operating efficiently.
As usual you can swap card or cancel your order by clicking here.
If you do wish to swap to a different card, please see this page for a FAQ here and some guideance as to which cards will likely be fulfilled the quickest.

lol man so vague, "CARDS COMING, SEND MORE MONEY"
"Over 1,200 RTX30 Series graphics cards have now been supplied to customers or have confirmation from the manufacturer they're on the way to PLE."
so…. 10 orders have been supplied to customers, and 1190 on the way? got it
"FAQ here and some guideance as to which cards will likely be fulfilled the quickest."
what cards are they guessing will be fulfilled the quickest?
Here's the link to the FAQ with the shortest wait on the top of the list:
https://www.ple.com.au/rtx30-buying-information
Not long ago I saw evga 3080 ftw3 ultra 2nd or 3rd from top, now it’s all the way down the bottom. Either that means a lot of people have ordered causing huge back log or it’s hard to obtain this model due to shortages from the manufacturers end. Pretty sad actually, now I’m going to re-live the pain for the AMD Ryzen 5900x cpu when they release on 5th November. I bet the bots will buy majority of all pre-allocated stock world-wide then re-sell at double rrp and desperate people will pay those prices, the whole system is unfair. I love waiting ha, its always good for holding onto empty hope.
Just checking in, has anyone gotten their weekly email? Feels like they've given up at this point
Nope.
they sent it out awhile back! check your emails!
Probably "no major change or big news on stock" again. They have been sending the same email each week with just a little changes to wording.
Every email each week, I get the same thing for ETA: "Your card does not currently have a confirmed ETA. We're expecting larger deliveries commencing late October, you'll likely receive your card in November. As we get closer, you will begin to receive an estimated date from PLE. We're anticipating that by the end of November everyone that ordered in launch week will have their card or a confirmed ETA."
But it is now late October. Curious as to what they are going to say now.
moores law is dead on youtube said a 12gig 3080 ti is coming to compete with amd shit now
Here's this weeks update (29/10):
Hi,
Starting to feel like RTX30 Groundhog Day! Another week, another update and tonight another launch!
RTX3070 goes on sale tonight 9pm AWST / 12am AEDT. Lots more stock than RTX3080, still likely to sell out quickly. Card swap is available via MyPLE.
AMD fired up the hype machine last night announcing their RX 6000 series graphics cards. Lots of people are asking, so yes, once they launch card swap will be available for that too.
In relation to RTX3080/RTX3090 - Lets summarize each brand below
Zotac
Zotac RTX3080 - There is just one customer from launch night that doesn't have a card shipped or an ETA. Benjamyn from QLD - we're going to get you some good news soon! Promise! Everyone else on Zotac, if you don't have an ETA we're workin on it, fingers crossed the majority will have an ETA next week.
Zotac RTX3090 - 100% card shipped or ETA provided.
Gigabyte
Gigabyte RTX3080 - Basically everyone who ordered Gigabyte RTX3080 on launch night has a card or an ETA. Only 14 customers left! To everyone else that doesn't have an ETA, hang in there Gigabyte is doing good numbers.
Gigabyte RTX3090 - Gaming OC and Turbo - 100% card shipped or ETA. Eagle OC is 49% card shipped or ETA provided. Aorus Extreme and Master, slower progress but more cards every week and the queue is really not that long, hang in there.
MSI
MSI RTX3080 - We're receiving cards every week and the queue is moving, maybe not as fast as we'd prefer but we're in constant discussion with MSI and hoping to provide a more guidance in the coming weeks.
MSI RTX3090 - Ventus 3X 100% card shipped or ETA provided. Gaming X Trio, 25% card shipped or ETA provided.
ASUS
ASUS RTX3080 - We received guidance from ASUS this week that "it will be unlikely that ASUS will have enough stock to fulfill the demand until early 2021". There is a "significant shipment" coming in a few weeks that will fulfill 10% - 30% of orders. Beyond that it is uncertain. They're committing to fighting for as much allocation as possible for AU, providing air freight from the factory to Australia as they become available and providing regular updates to us. Please don't shoot the messenger :|
ASUS RTX3090 - TUF Gaming OC is 70% card shipped or ETA provided. All others, as above.
EVGA
EVGA General - We'll be receiving EVGA allocation details on Friday moving forward. See below "Other PLE Improvements".
EVGA RTX3080 - As everyone is aware, this is a big queue. Cards are coming in and EVGA has supplied more RTX30 cards to PLE than any other manufacturer but it's going to take time to get through and everyone (PLE/EVGA/NVIDIA) is collaborating to get the queue supplied as quickly as possible. We wish we could get could get everyone an ETA but we can't.
EVGA RTX3090 - FTW3 Ultra - Everyone now has a card or ETA. XC3 Ultra, 77% of people have a card shipped or ETA provided. Non Ultra EVGA RTX3090 orders, hopefully good news in the coming weeks.
Other PLE Improvements
Starting now, you can now see your ETA (if you have one) on your MyPLE, go to My Orders and click Edit Order. This is live. Note that whilst we try to only enter ETAs when we receive information from suppliers, sometimes these are revised during the week so if your ETA comes and goes or changes, that's why it's an Estimated Time of Arrival.
Also starting now, you can see your Queue Location to the nearest 10% in the My Orders page. You do not receive a queue location if you have an ETA because you're no longer in the queue per se.
Where do you see the % you are in?
Login to PLE account. Go to orders and click on edit order. You will see a bar which shows where you are in the queue.
Thanks :)
@technerd You see an indicator, but not a percentage.
@atleeit: Correct, all I can see on mine is an indicator. Not a percentage.
Honestly, if I don’t receive an ETA by end of November, I’ll probably cancel my order. I’d rather keep my money and buy the card when it comes in stock. Instead of letting PLE have my money and not know any information on when I am getting it.
Or I might try get the AMD 6000 series cards instead. Hopefully stock availability is better on those.
@TechNerd: @technerd I'm in the same boat as you, nearly a month and my indicator is 3/4 at the back of the queue which is very upsetting. I'm also thinking about 6800 XT's depending upon price and stock. They are deliberately not giving specific numbers which is the wrong way to treat customers anyway it's their choice how they represent themselves. The upsetting part was ftw3 ultra 77% have their card, 23% don't. How does this place me 3/4 at back of the queue. That 23% must be enormously huge.
@atleeit: I would not mind that much if they had taken just a smaller deposit like $200 not the full amount and we do not have a proper ETA
@GerrardLFC: @gerrardlfc, they did the same to me. Didn't think you could be charged until invoiced and shipped but obviously you can. I'm planning to purchase amd's new 5900x in a few days but will not go through ple due to how things have turned out already. I can go direct through supplier but thought I should still support local resellers. I should learn from my mistakes ha.
@TechNerd: Yeah, my thoughts mirror yours exactly. Am so annoyed that the entire cost of the card has been held for 6+ weeks with zero movement. More annoying is seeing every Utuber has multiple 3080s of different brands.
I hate AMD, but this whole thing has almost made me go F*** it, I'll give them a go if they have available stock, just to put one up Nvidia. It's stupid, I know, but it's also just the way this whole thing makes me feel.
Zotac RTX3080 - There is just one customer from launch night that doesn't have a card shipped or an ETA. Benjamyn from QLD - we're going to get you some good news soon! Promise! Everyone else on Zotac, if you don't have an ETA we're workin on it, fingers crossed the majority will have an ETA next week.
I ordered on the 1st night and do not have an ETA / have not been messaged with any more details - I called them and they advised some more of these are coming over from WA and should be ready for shipping next week… With any luck that's true and the Nvidia driver update made these cards work properly!
I just know if I swap to AMD I’m going to regret. Always happens to last minute decisions… will think on it until 6800/6900XT launch.
Ordered my card on launch day, got it today!
That sounds like Fake News. I'm still not convinced anyone has recieved a card.
@Harvey1 I totally agree with you.
They must be making good money from the interest with all the money they holding from our orders!
Sorry you feel that way gents, I just thought i would let the community know that orders are coming through. We're all gonna make it brah.
What was your order number? I also ordered late launch night ftw3 ultra around 2am and showing in 3 row from the front, any idea how fast this row moves ike 1 row per week etc?
For me the ETA was pretty accurate if not spot on. I live close by so was able to pop in the store and pickup (although that probably helped a bit). My order number was 8705 and i placed my order around 1am. You're not far!
That's strange how is your order number 4 digit? Mine is 87225x and did you also ordered ftw3 ultra?
@nomoneynoproblems: My order number is 8707 and my ETA is currently the 18th, it was originally the 30th oct but it keeps getting pushed further and further back.
Feeling a little sad :(
I will wait a little longer, will get the new AMD cpu first then rethink the Nvidia or AMD for my gpu.
Maybe they mining with our rtx3080’s/90’s :p
@nomoneynoproblems ha brah. I can see stock levels of alot of brands through a few suppliers they are all the same 0 0 0. If you did I'm glad, if you just stirring shite then good on ya brah. Not needed.
i love a good troll as much as the next guy, but I'm definitely not in this case. https://imgur.com/4k0z00J
