Link200 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 nVidia just had some drop on their store. Gone before my browser even loaded. There is no way that was anything but bots. One would think a tech company could figure this out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaku3 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 You know you got it bad when you almost blind order a 1700+ card. Amazon was out of stock before I could order the Zotac 3090. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not according to this guy, he said the cards with mlccs were crashing just as much as the ones with poscaps, although apparently a mix is good because they compliment each other by working at different frequencies. I'm no engineer this stuff is way over my head, but it seems pretty safe to purchase any card you can get your hands on and not having to worry about getting a faulty product.

Spork3245 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 8 hours ago, thedarkstark said: All cards are stable at factory clock speeds Some of the Zotac cards were coming undervolted and underperforming by 2-3%. You can see this in some reviews. The thought is that the undervolt is limiting the boost clock. But, yes, the main issue is attempting to OC, OR, even buying some pre-OCed cards.

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?

Link200 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I made my own bot. Some bot protections are an absolute joke. One retailer can just be brute forced to bypass capchta. I almost snagged a 3080 last night but I didn't realize it would need a random password after some time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems for stores GPUs are a low margin item so doubt they care. The only other possibility is that they are doing it. It's a slow process but once they cancel and release the items to be sold again they got caught by bots again. I am not looking forward to Ryzen 3, RDNA2, and any future Nintendo console releases.

Found this The Old Trafford-Manchester United LEGO football stadium measures 6.5” (18.5cm) high, 18” (47cm) long and 15” (39cm) wide Still trying to determine how to build it. Might just assemble it on the floor since my table isn't big enough to assemble it and have my monitor on it at the same time. Probably will leave it as a center piece on my dining room table. Also my punishment for abandoning AMD seems to be being tormented by my inability to get a 3080 or 3090. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
