if people last week hadn't said:


quote:

i talked to him yesterday. he said he's got a big delivery coming in this week, and that it's going to take him a few days to process it.



not one person has received shipping information from last week. no one. he either has 1000+ cards or none. for hundreds of people that are anxious and patiently waiting for $1000s of dollars, you'd think he'd be fulfilling these things, but he isn't.

now you have his minion reporting for him. for an order that came last week, he's taking a week and half to start fulfilling these orders? pfft.

Do you still get non FE's faster like an AIB 3070? Or are they all long arse waits?

now there's a guy in the voice chat that he's got 200 cards off the boat and on a truck to him and that he's going to start shipping thursday/friday through the 28th.

I’m really glad I have my card, and this is all academic to me now

I'll go show up at his doorstep if he never delivers.

I actually don't mind the wait as I have been buying parts for my build slowly as they go on sale. Now... if I never get the card from him...

Very nice. I just checked, and no 3080fe. Not that I needed another one, but it was going to be ironic if I could have bought one a week after my MTech saga finished

Keep refreshing. They have been popping up randomly. I was able to get to account verification on a 3080 Ti FE but none in stock around Houston.

I have a FTW3 3080Ti on the way from EVGA. Haven't decided if I'm going to keep it yet. If I elect not to, you can have it

I feel you. I kept refreshing just to see if I could another card or two for friends that are looking as well. I still have my 3080 order with MTech. I was going for an all white build so I wish I could get my hands on a 3090 ROG Strix instead of the 3080 I ordered with MTech and the 3090 FE at Best Buy but at this point I just want my build done.

Yeah, I'm done for a while, at least until the (rumored) AMD refresh early next year, if it does release on AM4 with 3d stacked cache.

Until then...

Buy and sell. I’ve been doing that with PS5s. Just don’t rape people in the process.

Unfortunately, I think I got a bum PSU. Just spent 2 hours going over everything and can't get it to boot at all. No signs of life at all. Probably going to bring it in to Microcenter tomorrow to have them figure it out. I'm dead tired.

Yep, confirmed dead PSU with paperclip test.
