They are often happening on the hour. A few of the ones I missed previously happened on the hour as well. And @stepee and I both got lucky on the same exact drop with the same exact strategy, so I'd say it's a good one and not just pure luck. Not to say that luck isn't necessary too.

Yeah, I know not everyone can use Apple. I even listed another method and didn't contradict the other suggestions ITT. Apple Pay on Newegg is just the best imo. The reasons I'd limit myself to just Newegg if I had to do it again are because 1) Apple Pay takes literally less than 2 seconds. 2) every other alternative requires you to go through a very long checkout process and most of them (e.g. all of the manufacturer websites) get totally frozen with lag and crashing making the checkout process near-impossible. The only exception I know of is Amazon but then you have to deal with a lot of false positives being sold by private sellers with markup, etc. 3) It's easier and much less stressful to just set up Newegg mobile and check it every hour and when large drops are scheduled imo.

Also Nvidia-snatcher is free and you can download it off Github. I used it and it was ok, but really the best solution is just to set up apple pay and keep refreshing the Newegg app.

Be careful though because if you ping the site too much, it'll block you.

I didn't interpret him as talking about an alt. If people dislike Facebook, wouldn't the account they make be their only account?

Why?

Sidequest is likely to be subsumed by Oculus imo.

I think it's very likely that almost all of my valuable data will be stolen and distributed within the next 10 years, so I'll jump at chances to actually benefit from it to some degree. However, I can respect people just refusing to give Facebook money.

Download the Newegg app (assuming you have an iphone or ios device) and set up your apple pay so the defaults are all correct. Then just search for 3080 and refresh that screen at various points throughout the day (but mostly on the hour every hour). It will sort in-stock items toward the top. Once you see an item, tap it, then immediately tap apple pay (you don't have to add to cart) then immediately press your sleep button twice to confirm. This is the best trick I've seen so far. Most people get hung up in the checkout process because it's so long but Apple pay lets you cheat.

Yeah, lol. My situation is similar. I built a new pc like almost a year ago in preparation for what I thought would be a much earlier release of the 30 series cards. I put my 1080 in it as a placeholder because I didn't want to buy a 20 series card so close to the 30. So, really, this is like me finally getting to play the PC I bought and built months ago.

Yeah, if I'd had a 20 series card, I might have just waited until the demand stabilized but I'm upgrading from a standard 1080.

Lol looks like an estimated shipping date of 10/5 so should get them by 10/9 I think (provided we don't get cancelled).

Jesus, I was just reading the reddit thread. That guy might want to hire some personal security lol. That launch was why I happened to see the ftw3. I was looking for the Aorus.

Newegg had a batch right at 6 pacific. I just randomly refreshed and saw it right at the right second. It sold out within a minute.

I'm pretty sure I just got the EVGA FTW3! It charged me and is "packaging" now.

Thanks!

There's a gigabyte drop tonight? Who announced it?

You also have to be lucky enough to be close to the warehouse it's at with Best Buy. They have a maximum shipping distance.

If you want to get a second 3080, I'll buy it.

Most of the retailers are claiming that they are hand-checking orders after they're done and voiding ones that look like bots but I don't know if it's actually true or just a PR response.

I'm using the instock bot plus a couple others and I've been notified immediately and started trying to get several cards now but the cards are always either sold out immediately or the site freezes up nonstop until they're all sold out. I haven't seen a lot of legit cards go up on Amazon. The extension pings you when it sees a card or do you just have it set to refresh and watch yourself?

Jesus. I've been trying my fucking ass off trying to get a 3080 and just failing over and over. What did you guys do to get one?

Nice, apparently VD is already streaming games wirelessly at 90fps.

I put about 2-3 hours into it. It's a very pretty game and the combat seems decent. Very reminiscent to Zelda on Switch. I don't really see myself playing it a lot though. Too many better action games.
