I mean, Josh and I both got 80FE’s from the guy, but it was certainly a struggle. I actually have another on order from 10/5 that I’m just gonna dangle out there.

So, don't buy from that guy. Got it.


As Benny said, I have a 3080fe sitting in my case right now that I got for MSRP. My advice to people in re MTech:

If you want a sku that’s nearly impossible to find, you don’t want to pay more than MSRP, and you don’t really have a timeline on which you need it, order from MTech.

If you’re looking for a more common sku, don’t mind paying above MSRP, or have a deadline by which you need the card, don’t order from MTech.

So, I talked to him today. He said one of my cards came in out of the 4 I ordered. He’s sitting on it waiting for the other 3.

So, basically, “next week” without saying “next week”.

Considering you pay shipping, if you want it now, I don't see why he wouldn't just send you the damned thing

I'd still pitch it and see what he says. How long would it take you mining to recoup the shipping cost?

Got a 3080FE from the BB drop this morning. Lol. Now I have to figure out what to do about that 10/6 MTech order.

What did you order from MTech? I've got a buddy potentially looking for a 3080.

This one seemed to be really quick. An initial drop then nothing afterwards. I missed it by 15 minutes and never saw anything pop up for me. The past few drops all happened at ~10 AM CST then bam, a 9 AM one.

Same thing. 3080FE. Was always going to pursue other options, and have that one in the back burner. I honestly haven’t been keeping up with how long that guy has been taking.

I had the verify loop on multiple occasions with the BB drop.

Use the one you have. When you get a second, sell it NIB. Not sure about the root of your confusion

My apologies, Carson, I don't know what that means. I was just sharing info.

I'm just teasing. If you follow in all the GPU discords/subreddits and shite, Zotac is by far the most memed card. They've been lovingly dubbed "Tony Zotac Machines." They used to be an extremely budget card but now their prices are insane given the specs
