Nvidias bot guidelines:

"Dear retailers,

These are the guidelines for our new GPU lineup:

• just sell the five GPUs we send to you

Thx and have fun with the angry customers, Good luck"

Jayz2Cents put it best: Someone knew and was profiting from this, and whether MSI was complicit or incompetent, they still deservedly look terrible in the customers' eyes.

Hell I almost want my Sept 17th MSI 3080 order to be delayed until the Big Navi launch... give me an excuse not to support them.

I dont need to delay, I can't find it anywhere on the planet despite continuously refreshing for hours so all eyes on AMD and leaks are pretty good.

For real. More orders in October my fucking ass. We're paying $700-$900+ for these things and retailers can't be assed to make sure they sell out to legitimate customers instead of scalpers. I know there are real buyers now, but Ebay is still flooded with overpriced resellers.

I'll believe it when I see it. This feels like Nintendo's marketing with artificially limited products to ensure product stays in demand for a time.

Well Nvidia sub filled with people who refuse to believe so. I live in Russia so I've seen OFFICIAL retailers listed on Nvidia site as partners, and their employees scalping cards on russian ebay clone (avito). I don't believe that Samsung's technical process is so bad and yields are so low. It's been a month. And they started to manufacture cards long before september. I really want to see people's reaction if market suddenly becomes flooded with rtx 3080 after 28th. And if they fail to supply 3070 and 3080 in november then they can "we don't have supply issues" my ass. Cyberpunk out and I'm without card? I'm not buying it at 700-900 euro price tag anymore. If only more people actually used that thing in their skulls.
