I think I am in for the upgrade from a 2080 Ti. I will need to see metrics tomorrow. Part of me thinks I should just wait for the 4000 series cards.

The sad part is metrics/benchmarks come out at the same time as release. If you want a 3090, you're more than likely going to need to jump on it right away before anyone is actually able to view them. Otherwise you may be forced to wait for the 40xx just due to stock issues!

Really hoping I can grab one tomorrow! Upgrading from my beautiful 1080ti. My Samsung Odyssey G9 should be here in the coming weeks so they would compliment each other very nicely!

good luck to those going for the 3090.

a bit too much for me...especially after ordering a bunch of other expensive tech in the past week

I don't mind waiting for retsocks and more 3090's to become available. I doubt stock issues last for two years. Also gives me a chance to see which card to get based on user feedback on OCN and other overclocking sites.

I've got one preordered a while back, but I really want two for vram pooling and it doesn't look like I'll be able to get another one anytime soon :/

Yes sir, that is one of the most succinct and appropriate write-ups one could have. I'm ready to suffer and forgo a few months of electricity. Let's get it boys/girls!

Good luck everyone after one. Also great job with the opening post OP, the image and what you wrote really made me chuckle.

The only site that seems to withstand the pressure seems to be Amazon, but they've been so fickle with 3080 card stock that there really is no reliable site out there.

My GTX 1080 has got to go! I have shit to render, and I'm gonna pay out the nose to do it. I wish you all luck!

This thread OP is so fucking depressing, but it's spot on.

My tears are already standing by in my ducts for 6:03 am when my basket freezes and I can't check out.

I have no interest in buying a graphics card right now but I came in here to tell OP that I love your OP.

I'm in for a 3090 FE if the bots don't snatch them all up before the website can even load for humans.

Then, I wait for the EK water block.

Nvidia's site is the only place to get the FE right?

One thing to note about Best Buy from the 3080 launch and the recent console launches is that they are not exact 6 AM PT launches. It's later by either a few minutes or a few hours and the site gets flaky when stock starts to trickle.

Also the app is somewhat more reliable than the site but both the app and the site are subject to failure when the traffic really starts to hit.

The thread has 2 pages on launch day so I wouldn;t say that many people are in for them lol

Well........even if I wanted one, it would have to wait until around next Wednesday since that's when my bonus will arrive.

I sure hope this looks marginally better by then.
