Best Buy never sent any to physical stores, you had to order online and get it shipped to the store or your house.

Best Buy didn't sell a single FE card, I refuse to believe they received any. I've been in reddit megathread all day and only place that US customers have confirmed orders from is Nvidia

Oh the founders cards, yeah I wasn't looking for those. I tried to buy a EVGA card and it went out of stock as I was paying through paypal.

Yeah. Might toy around and build a garage pc out of it. I'll let it go for cheap.

BB employees probably bought them before they ever hit the shelf.

From what I heard they did it all online, no card went to a store this morning, you had to buy online and ship to store or your house.
Microcenter is the only physical store I know for sure had them, people camped out for them.

Theres no way any physical location had them. The stock was limited to begin with.
Only way to get them is online.
I would suggest for those of you that want one - set your alerts on your phone, use nowinstock, literally have your browser open CONSTANTLY.
When I built my SFF PC, I had to literally do that to grab an SF600 Platinum PS from Corsair and the B550 ITX board from Gigabyte in order to get one when they came back in stock.

I’m rocking a 1060 right now, what are you looking for?
Was in the market for a 3080, but Sally just destroyed us here in Fairhope and funds got deviated to repairs. Such is life

PC gamers everywhere tried and failed to buy Nvidia’s RTX 3080 graphics card today as units quickly sold out. But not everyone came up empty.
A group of resellers scored the RTX 3080 ahead of average consumers, thanks to an automated bot, which was capable of ordering dozens of units from Nvidia’s website instantly.
The resellers have been taking to social media to praise the bot’s creator, Bounce Alerts, a group devoted to helping its members score early access to retail products, such as sneakers, so they can be resold at higher prices.

Damn, very similar to the bots I used to use when I did the same for Yeezys a couple years ago. I'd get 20 pairs of Yeezys while I was sleeping, at msrp $220 and flip for $800+ each.
Was pretty easy tbh.

With a GPU launch this hyped, of course the limited stock was gonna sell, and of course the scalpers were gonna use bots to aid in buying as much stock as they could.
The issue wasn't bots, the issue was forced scarcity. Samsung could never keep up close to what was needed right now on their 8nm process. Watched a few youtubes yesterday and people were irate stores werent even getting them.
Dawid does tech lives near Vancouver - not a small city, he went to a computer store to get in line, was 3rd person in line, waited for over an hour till store opened, he didnt get one because they only had TWO total 3080's (both Zotac ones, ew). He went to the other major computer store in Vancouver, they got ZERO 3080's. So in all of Vancouver major computer stores, they got 2 RTX 3080's. He didnt check best buy or anything, but figured by then they would be sold out anyways, he couldnt believe the 2 major computer stores in Vancouver collectively only got 2 RTX 3080's.
This was a paper launch basically and forced scarity as some predicted by Nvidia. They probably just wanted to be first well ahead of AMD with big navi. I bet it will be hard to get your hands on a 3080 even if you tried very hard for the next month (NOT on the overpriced 2nd hand market).
I will say I love the trolls on ebay pushing up the prices to $50k on those cards to troll the flippers and make it as hard as they can on them to actually sell those cards.

It was both. Read the article I posted. Yes - barely any brick and mortar stores had them. Microcenter was probably one of the few that actually a decent number.
But the bots doing that shite are just nuts.

Bingo - Nvidia even privately said this.
