Did anyone go last time the Baton Rouge store had in store only cards? How early did you arrive? What did you get? How was the stock?

There was a list on Reddit that was being updated by people in line with line length..lemme see if I can track it down

It’s gone, they deleted all the responses in prep for tomorrow. The BR numbers were really low though, about on par with Pensacola where I went. Showed up at 4:30ish and could have gotten any card I wanted other than 3080.

The number of 3080s available this time in BR is low, if the spreadsheet was to be believed. I think it was 10. Pensacola was showing like 35 3080s.

Pensacola had 22 last time if memory serves, the people that show up the day before are gobbling up all the 80s and they have buddies that show up right before opening and hop in line with them.

Depends on what card he’s hunting on if it’s worth bothering, really

If it was a 20 minute drive or less for me, I might drive out when I wake up, just to see. But I’m not dragging out 50 minutes each way

I live an hour away, but I work an hour in the opposite direction

Not doing it again

It’s a shame my vertical mount can only take a two slot card. At this point, I could buy a 3090fe, sell my 3070fe, and damned near break even on the upgrade

And our first fork-on-box confirmation picture just hit on an FE (3060ti). Awaiting benchmark confirmation that it is what it claims to be.


Any update on that?

They didn't have access to Port Royal, but furmark and TimeSpy scores came back within the normal band for a 3060ti. So far, so good.

The drop is tomorrow. The only store in Louisiana is the BR one again like last time. The inventory won't be much. If you want anything your best bet is to go out there after work today and camp overnight. Goodluck.

So, having a hard time getting him to stop playing with his mining rig to actually run TimeSpy, but the hash rate is exactly where one would expect from a 3080fe, apparently

Just joined EVGA's system for a 3070. Curious to see how long before I get an email.
