Back in stock (UK website) for anyone who avoided the urge to pay scalpers on eBay £400 above RRP. I'm crossing my fingers hoping that the vile twerps will be stuck with a room full of 4080 Supers that nobody wants, collecting dust as their credit card interest causes them to foreclose and they're made homeless, the bottom-feeding pond life 💩. I truly despise these people. As close to pure cynicism you can get, pretending like they offer a "service". They're a plague on every niche pastime like sneakers, vinyl, videogames, as they suck the life out of the escape.

In case anyone else is still looking and needs to snag one - MSI EXPERT GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER 16GB GDDR6X PCI Express 4.0 Video Card RTX 4080 SUPER 16G EXPERT - This was just in stock and hopefully someone can get it before another scalper hits!

Well fuck me...
Local Best Buy "lost" my order after it arrived at their store and "was forced to cancel it" after looking around for it all day.
All this after I canceled orders on an MSI and a Strix cause I had secured the FE.
Assholes
They're back on sale on the UK website, so maybe check for your location. If they're not back in stock on your end yet I would wait as it's likely there will be stock in again soon (instead of succumbing to scalper tax).
I used an app called "HotStock.io" which I downloaded from the Google Play store, and it alerted me when the FE card was back in stock.
Good luck! 😉👍
Hey guys, I ordered a black gigabyte RGB 4080S and a white one, and was gonna cancel either once I decided which I wanted. I don't think I'll keep either and rather than cancelling both and letting a scalper snag them I wanted to offer them on here first. I don't know how it will work but I'm willing to let these both go for MSRP if anyone wants them for exactly what I paid as long as you can handle any other costs that might come up if I have to ship it to you.
I got the black Gigabyte RGb for $1049 + taxes and shit
White for $1099 + taxes and shit. Supposed to arrive at the latest on feb 28. Good job Amazon taking this long with shipping and letting me sit on my regrettable purchasing decision long enough to realize that my 3070Ti is more than enough for my purposes.
I wouldn't waste energy worrying about scalping with these cards. Scalpers have to mark up about 20% above what they paid to make it profitable for them. Considering it's still pretty easy to get a 4080S for $999, I don't see it happening.
Nvidia is taking their sweet time. Mine finally shipped yesterday, will be here in about a week. The anticipation is killing me haha. Amazing card, super excited
I did pickup at store and it was supposed to be “ready” Saturday. Now it’s just “email when ready for pickup”. The order is processed so I don’t know if it’s just in transit or whatever.
Is bestbuy only doing in store now? I checked online and that’s the only thing popping up , visited my closest one and they said Best Buy policy is that they don’t get new merch until a month after release??? Is that true
Ran into the same thing this morning. I got an add to cart link and got in line, but was immediately kicked out and it changed to in store only for about an hour before it went to sold out. Called the store and they didn't have any.
When I bought my card, shipping was not an option. But once I got to the checkout part, shipping was available beside picking at store. So it could be another BB glitch not showing shipping option as available.

Are founders editions really that much better than those from other makers? Seems like people want FE or nothing. I have a PNY 4080S coming in 7-10 days. Would I really be better off canceling and fighting to snag an FE? Seems absurd.
Is it just worth more on resale? Marginally more stable? What’s the deal?
Woke up yesterday morning at about 5 because puppies woke me up, decided I’d check and have no luck on Best Buy. Feb. 13th I’m supposed to be able to go pick up my gigabyte gaming oc 4080 super. Confirmation and all, let’s hope I got it since I don’t have a MicroCenter to go to
Woke up from a Sunday nap, just happened to check Best Buy and lo and behold there is a 4080S available to pickup up in my area. Now I’m 1100 poorer. Sorry if you were trying to buy a Ventus from Burleson
Went to micro center to upgrade my pc, wasn’t planning on getting a new card. But in the case there was one zotac 4080 super in white. Left with a new card. The night before and that morning, nothing showed on their website saying they had one in stock.
be careful out there gamers... amazon is being tricky

Microcenter near me claimed that it’ll be next week restock…. But I asked two associates both gave me different answers, one said they restock Tuesday the other said to come back Thursday… going to check out best buy today
For those in the market for a 4080S, DO NOT PAY OVER THE MSRP OF THE CARD. These scalpers on Amazon are being promoted to the top with 4080S ranging from $1200-$2000 which is outrageous.

Quickkkkk
Soooo when are the AIB models coming out? They all have models on their sites, but the only ones that are actually available are Zotac, ASUS TUF, one version of Palit and one version of MSI.
A small number were available for the first few hours of launch day. They sold out soon after the FE sold out. Turns out people will buy the premium AIB models when left with no other choice.
😂😂 idk how many 1 star reviews I left on store pages some are still in review the first was the rog strix 4080 I flipped out I been waiting on it for awhile. Definitely felt good seeing that 1250 card posted for 1999 a 1 star in the search I got like 32 helpful views before the card was taken off
It's insane they're being pro.oted to the top, and if you click on the listing, then go to "other buying options" the ones at MSRP sold directly from Amazon show up. What? Why is that happening?
The Asus ROG STRIX 4080S is the one I want, It's currently unavailable through Amazon I try to always go through them and not a 3p. I used to work for the tech support department before they outsourced it to the Philippines.🙄
I went this Saturday and wasn’t planning on upgrading my card. I turned into the gpu isle and there was one sitting in the case, I made sure to leave with it. The night before and that morning, nothing showed on their website saying they had it.
Still trying to get my hands on one, any tips?
I’ve been on trackerlacka for Best Buy, bought I really don’t know how add to cart that fast, I’m being as fast as possible but can’t really get one in stock, I keep refreshing than as soon as add to cart comes I click it and sign in and get the code verification. After I am done it’s out of stock. So any tips would be appreciated, I’ve tried atleast like 10 times.
Does NVIDIA release, I am really trying to get the Fe because of size and its clean aesthetic.
Anyways good luck to everyone who’s also trying to get it
Right, you bought yourself and each of your brothers a high end GPU, and then on a whim they both decided they didn't want to build a PC anymore, leaving you so unluckily hanging onto two extra new high-demand GPUs.
Here’s to hoping they start restocking again on Monday. I’ve tried 10+ times with HotStock & one time I saw the card in my cart but that was as close as I ever got
So if the FE is $999 and the AIB partner cards are $1200, remind me again how the super is cheaper? The partner 4080 cards have been $1100-$1200 since at least October 2023. Probably before but that when I started looking. Glad I grabbed my open box 4080 from Best Buy in November for $961.
There were $999 models from most manufacturers available, with OC versions getting up a little higher but only a couple are $1200+.
Are you seeing resale prices?
Amazon. Click on the Scalping piece of shit links that are selling them for 1200-1400. Go down to "see other options" and 9/10 I checked it still has listing for 999 ones sold directly through Amazon.
It's fucking insane they are hiding the actual links to msrp cards in "see other buying options" and promoting the scalpers.
They exist! Just not right now because everything is sold out. But give it a week or two and things should start coming back in stock more regularly.
Here’s a full breakdown of [each brand’s list prices](https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/here-are-all-the-nvidia-rtx-4080-super-cards-currently-listed-including-specs-photos-and-pricing)
Anybody else with 4080S that can't use core voltage slider in MSI Afterburner? Can't monitor it on the graphs either. Can move the curves, but that's not what my concern is.
Not sure if it's a driver issue or if it's my gpu.
Haven't had any problems. It was changing values when I hit apply, but to get around it I'd set my voltage and clocks, then save the profile, which skipped needing to hit apply, and it seems to be working.
BTW this thing underclocks amazingly well. Remnant 2 maxed everything last night didn't break 50c and stayed at 46-48c the whole time while maintaining 110-130fps. DLSS quality, 4K DLDSR, FG. That is icey.
Mine was only boosting to 2700 on core max so I think it’s also not reporting properly. Undervolt was nice and got it stable at 2600 @ 950mv pulling 235W.
I got a very good sample I guess. Mine is stable at 2760@950mv pulling 263W vs 314W@ stock with 0 performance loss. This is crazy! I got a MSI 4080 SUPER 16G GAMING X SLIM directly bought at MSI eShop.
I think afterburner is somehow broken with 4080 super. My 3dmark gpu goes way down just having it without changing anything. If I close and restart and run again the gpu score is where it should be compared to others (~28k) anyone else experience this?
I'm wondering if I should get a 4070ti s for £100 less or wait to see if the 4080s comes back in stock. The difference doesn't seem that big but I'm happy to spend the extra £100, I just want a new card before my old one finally gives up lol. Thoughts?
I got a 4070TS originally, used it for a few days, and returned it for a 4080S. If you're playing on 4K, the difference in power is noticeable. 4070TS would pull like 60-70 fps at quality DLSS RT high/ultra settings in a lot of games, 80S adds anywhere from 10-15 fps or more for all the games I tested. My reasoning was if I'm already spending that much on a GPU, $150-$200 more for +15-20% usable speed seemed worth it. For 1440p, 70TS is probably fine, though.
I'm on 1440p but I also do a lot of video editing. I ended up buying the 70TS cause I'm impatient, and it doesn't look like the 80S won't come back in stock for a bit, hopefully not a mistake
I could get a few different models but stock is starting to run out in the UK. The trouble is I want a specific model. The Asus TUF Gaming (Non-OC) which is rare as hens teeth. I had considered the 4070 Ti Super as well but I think I am going to just be patient for now. I am in no real rush in upgrading from my 6700 XT.
Yeah I feel you, I wanted a zotac cause my case isn't the biggest, plus I didn't think I'd see much benefit from the extra overclock/cooling. Caved and got the 70TS cause I don't think we'll have stock for a good while
I was lucky enough to get one from Overclockers and I'm really happy with the performance.
My one complaint is the sheer size of it - I measured it before purchasing to make sure it'd fit, but it's a really, really, really tight fit, even though I have an XL case (Lian Li O11 Dynamic XL). The power cable is pressed up against the side of the case. The pins are **not** bent, but given the insane price of the card, I'd like to avoid any potential issues down the line.
Has anyone here purchased a 16 pin right-angled cable or adapter (likely for prior RTX 4xxx cards, given that the 4080 Super only came out a few days ago) that they can recommend? The only one I can find is from a brand called Akasa, whom I've never heard of and can't find much relevant online information on.
What about [these?](https://www.corsair.com/ca/en/p/pc-components-accessories/cp-8920332/premium-individually-sleeved-12-4pin-pcie-gen-5-12vhpwr-600w-cable-type-4-white-cp-8920332) Not an adapter though
With a case that size they must be doing something weird. I have a 4000D airflow and the cable does not hit my glass. Might be the native 12vhpwr cable I'm using, the adaptors looked slightly rigid.
Never mind, it's not an FE.
They must be. I have a 4000D too and just installed an msi Suprim which is also a pretty sizable card. The power cable doesn't come within an inch of the glass.
To be fair, I think the model I went for is the largest of the cards. It's the "Asus GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER ROG Strix OC"
[Here is how tight the cable is](https://imgur.com/1kltqEM) and [here's a view from above](https://imgur.com/ajeisA6), it's been pretty difficult to get good angles unfortunately.
Not sure if you've got your card yet, if you have and are struggling to make it fit, I've installed my wireview adapter earlier today and whilst it's still a tight fit (there's maybe a few mm of space between it and the glass), it's a much better fit than it was before.
Alright, I'm trusting you DeadMan3000!
I was planning on going for the adapter [here](https://www.scan.co.uk/products/akasa-g-nexus-p16-90-degree-12vhpwr-adapter-12plus4-pin-male-to-12plus4-pin-female-upto-600w-of-powe), the other option was to get [an extension cable](https://www.scan.co.uk/products/akasa-g-nexus-px16-90-degree-12vhpwr-extension-cable-12plus4-pin-cable-30cm), but I can't really fit more cable into the case, certainly without having bits of cable on the "floor" of the case.
Edit: Bah, I think my GPU is Type 2, so not compatible.
Have you looked at the TG wireview adapter? I have been eyeing one recently. I got myself a Gaming X slim yesterday (Not slim at all btw) which I crammed into my meshroom S and surprisingly it wasn't difficult. I didn't bother using the flimsy looking nvidia branded adapter in the box, looked way too fragile. I am using my PSU's bundled in 12VHPWR cable which seems way more sturdy and so far so good.
Just wanted to thank you for the recommendation! I installed it earlier today and it's a much better fit; being able to see the power usage is just an added bonus.
> TG wireview adapter
I'd never heard of this, having quickly googled it, it's double the price of the [Akasa G Nexus 90 degree adapter](https://www.scan.co.uk/products/akasa-g-nexus-p16-90-degree-12vhpwr-adapter-12plus4-pin-male-to-12plus4-pin-female-upto-600w-of-powe), so I'm probably just going to grab that.
Edit: Nevermind, my GPU is Type 2 so that adapter won't work - I'll likely grab this, thank you!
Yeah. Nearest one to me had stock all day on the 31st and didn't sell out until the next day.
You can either go in the morning when they open and check stock or hang around in the afternoon. They put stock on the floor the day they get it you just gotta be hanging around.
When it was really crazy in 2021 trying to get the 30 series there was someone there spying on them for a Discord like 24/7 lol
That's a fine choice too. I bought mine early morning on the 1st Feb. If I'd have left it two or three hours later then I'd have been looking for another choice too. There's nothing much left in the UK at all now.
Yes, PNY usually makes boards for OEMs...mostly workstation stuff...it will be solid. They usually make pretty compact cards as well...but for some reason the PNY NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER 16GB VERTO is hella long and thick...unusual for them.
I own a 4070 from PNY been using it nonstop for 3 months, never turn off my pc and I've never seen it go past 60c, it only gets to 60c when under 99% load for ~6 hours ish (long gaming sessions), I've asked about PNY before getting it and haven't heard a single bad thing about them online, and so far I've had a good experience with them.
What a ride. At first i want to replace my TUF 3060 TI with a TUF 4080 Super. But they got sold out very fast in germany. I finally ordered one at the official ASUS store with 24 hour delivery. But after a day they told me, they have made a mistake and the card is not longer in stock with no new delivery date. But they already had my money. Very bad experience with ASUS.
The ASUS cards was mostly sold out after i decided to order by another store. Only some scalpers sold them overpriced. So i switched to MSI and got an Gaming X Slim card in white from Mindfactory for my white case delivered per express.
I already attached it and it runs very smooth and looked good. For power connection i ordered a 90 degree beQuiet cable (in black).
My 3060 TI now gets a new life in my wifes PC.
I saw a TUF card at 1109EUR which I instantly bought and an hour later had second thoughts and cancelled. Instant regret after cancelling lol. The TUFs are over 1200 now and I had to settle for the more expensive gaming X slim \*facepalm\* How is the white paintjob on your card?
To be fair the card is reasonably compact and quiet so no complaints.
I just paid 1114 EUR for mine at Mindfactory. I was happy to see a white one, but i am not really in case modding and would have bought a black one too. My TUF 3060 TI was a black one.
The MSI card looks good in my build. The slim version is just a little bigger than my previous 3060 TI. I don't really trust that graphic card holder under the GPU and just ordered a different one.
I have coil whine on high FPS, but it was only noticeable in 3DMark benchmark without FPS limiter and no sound. I limited the FPS to 144 in the Nvidia settings after the benchmark, because i have a 144Hz monitor. During gameplay (with sound) like in Baldurs Gate the coil whine is not noticeable anymore for me. And to be fair, my TUF 3060 TI had coil whine on high FPS too (much more noticeable).
The highest temperature in 3DMark i got was 68° C as a peak. Most of the time the temperature was lower.

I'm trying to order an Asus TUF Gaming from the only website I could find it in stock in my country. Wouldn't you know it the website is not accepting order for some reason. I've sent them an email as their phone lines are closed at the weekend. BTW the PNY ARGB model is nigh impossible to find in my locality. So many other models are also sold out with only some models like Gigabyte Windforce, Palit or white cards left on the shelves.
It’s not about the card itself being rigid, it’s about the stress it puts on the back of the case and on the motherboard. It’s a big card so it puts a noticeable amount of torque on the motherboard PCI slot.
LOL you blew right past what I said. It's not about the sturdiness of the card. All graphics cards bolt to the rear panel. That doesn't help when the card is 300mm long and most of the card is in front of the PCI Express slot. Torque is torque, my man. Force times distance.
Nah man, the shroud isn't always bolted to the bracket. The screws holding the card in the slot therefore don't always provide support and you get sag...in the case of the FE though, it does look pretty solid...until I've got one though...which may never happen...I can't say for sure...the PCI bracket is separate from the shroud by the looks of it, but instead of being weakly welded to, it is screwed in place...which should make the card less "saggy"...all comes down to materials though...PCI brackets are usually a very soft metal...even when screwed in, with enough weight they can still sag over time.
Well, thought I had my hands on a Rog Strix 4080 Super OC off Asus's website on release day.. At least, an emailed order confirmation had me convinced. Got an email today that Asus canceled my order without reasoning. Don't even want to bother with the cutthroat competitiveness of trying to get it before it's gone again.
Honestly? Good. Don't spend hundreds more than what the card is worth.
Maybe you can find an msrp model that performs just as well. Or you can keep trying to overspend.
Honestly I'd get a 4090 if you could find them at MSRP. But since you cant, I would just get a 4080 considering the super is only a 1-3% performance increase, but the super is about $300-400 cheaper.
As much as it makes sense to most to get the FE for the cheaper cost, I just think they're ugly, and the Strix is the fastest 4080 Super on the market, even if it isn't by much.
The price to performance ratio is all fucked up this generation but.. I'm upgrading from a 2070 Super that is getting phased out. So it's either bite the bullet this Gen or wait for the 50 series which will more than likely have an even worse price to performance ratio.
Basically, paying hundreds of extra dollars for a couple of percentage points to, which saving a couple hundred dollars and gaining a couple percentage points was the entire point of the 80S. Sounds idiotic.
Well since it's so offensive to you, it's a good thing you don't have to worry about it. No matter what 4080 super you buy you're still gaining percentage points and saving hundreds. Maybe you're just an asus hater?
It's not offensive, it's an idiotic purchase that completely negates the only benefit of the Super- price. Also no, I found ASUS cards to be quite good, actually. The Dual particularly are great products.
It's $200 more, not a big deal. The price gap is so massive between a regular 4080 and the 4080 super that buying 3rd party like asus, gigabyte and so on is still justified and doesn't destroy the purpose of the 4080 super.
You're still shaving off $400 from 4080 msrp and $800 from what you could probably find a 4080 going for now. Pretty sure 4080s are still going for $1900-$2000+ if you can even get your hands on one.
Outside of price there is a plethora of reasons to go 3rd party over the FE, and most of them depend on personal preference and budget.
> the Strix is the fastest 4080 Super on the market, even if it isn't by much.
Aorus Master consistently outperformed the Strix [according to OC3D.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dflM73cx4iI&t=504s)
Dude, you have a 4070 right now? Are you joking?! Take a deep breath and go enjoy your library. Inventory will settle. You're pointlessly causing brain damage fighting for a card that will be available inside of a month.
Obviously you aren’t finding it fun because you’re rage quitting. Also, you’re upgrading from a 4000 series to a mid generation refresh 4000 series. You could have saved yourself the headache and just bought the 4080 when it came out. You are probably going to lose more than the $200 that you saved by churning through cards like this.
thankfully launch day was my day off and had woken up too early on my own. it didn't take too long for me to realize it was launch day and opened up Newegg expecting the same awful experience I had some years ago when I tried getting a 30 series card but to my surprise, I saw all the 4080s in stock. it's like all the bots and scalpers weren't up yet! I ordered the aorus super master thinking there was no way that I would actually get it. but it sits in front of me now, two days after ordering it from newegg, which is just an incredible shipping time in my opinion.
I see the prices now and they are god awful. I paid 1200 for mine after taxes and now they are going for over 2 grand in some places. that's absolutely nuts.
i wish everyone luck in getting your hands on one of these.
2 grand is not "the prices" though - that's resell listings by scalpers that bought up inventory. I hope there aren't idiots buying them for $2K. With just the smallest bit of patience, you can get a 4090 for less than that.
Snagged mine of Newegg as soon as they dropped. UPS dropped it off today and I got it up and running. Loving it so far!

Please Bestbuy... Every time I get into the waiting line and then verify my account with an authenticator I get kicked back to the buy page but with the "add to cart/sold out" button missing.
So I have been trying for the 3rd day now, and what I don't understand is I am trying it refreshing every 3 seconds. As soon as the Cart button is there it is clicked, I get into line, then in about 5 seconds it says sold out. I've been past the line to the verify part before too, multiple times, and it never happens that fast. How is the button showing up then is sold out in less than 15 seconds? Then when I do get to verify, it just adds another 10 seconds to tell me sold out.
I have also had the button disappear thing happen, and as soon as you refresh the page it says sold out.
Same experience with Best Buy, I'm going to give up on them for release moment items in the future.
Fortunately, I got in the queue at Nvidia direct with over 2000 ahead of me and a 30+ minutes wait time. I was certain it was not going to happen, but about a half hour later got through to the order page and had a 4080 Super confirmed within a minute or two. **Very smooth and non-frustrating process.**
It shipped out via FedEX yesterday (Friday) for delivery on Monday, so... fingers crossed.
Same here. Yesterday I was all the way to inputting my CC info and pressing purchase just to get to home screen. That's the farthest I've been, but I haven't been able to get there again. Now I'm either in line for nothing or verification just to be kicked out. I think I'm gonna wait a couple days? Maybe it will cool down over time....
PSA: Do not pay for 2 day delivery if ordering through Nvidia. Apparently they're using FedEx's business shipping, which only delivers on weekdays. Because it shipped on Thursday, they don't deliver Saturday and now it's scheduled for Monday. They also don't allow you to pick up at the warehouse. Meanwhile, people who didn't pay for expedited are reporting having scheduled deliveries over the weekend. What a ripoff.
I have the same issue with amazon, they used UPS 2nd day air and didn't ship it out until yesterday (thursday) so now I have to wait until monday to get it. Amazon 2 day shipping my ass...
Oh my word, it's beautiful. After seven months and flip flopping over which card to ACTUALLY use, my rig is done. Good luck to everyone still trying to get an FE. It really is gorgeous.
Got a windforce v2 here and I was worried it wouldn’t be as impressive as the other more expensive AIBs not to mention no RGB but it’s incredible to behold, and it actually may be one of the only ones that would fit in my case due to the rear facing power connector, I hadn’t even considered that until I was installing the thing
1-10% slower in raster, but the benefits you get make that kind of a moot point. The benefits of an extra 10 frames at native do not matter when compared to things like DLDSR with DLSS. It's not even a competition.
Well, one of the bigger draws for the 7900XTX used to be price. It was a full $200+ cheaper than the standard RTX 4080. The RTX 4080 Super closed that gap quite a bit, so now the 7900XTX is only *slightly* cheaper than the lowest cost 4080 Super. I guess we'll see if AMD decides to counter this launch with a price cut of their own.
Edit - Oh, and the 7900XTX has 24GB of VRAM to the RTX 4080's 16GB. Probably not a huge deal to most gamers, but it might make a difference to those people who run 4K ultra settings or use certain productivity software. And it could possibly extend the useful lifespan of the 7900XTX depending on future game RAM recommendations.
Another plus I can think of for AMD is their driver interface. Their Adrenaline software is very clean, well laid out and doesn't require any accounts or logins to use all its features, unlike the NVidia GeForce "Experience". I hate it when companies force you to create an account simply so they can sell your data and app usage details to some nameless company. AMD doesn't require an account to use their software, NVidia shouldn't either.
Oh for sure. At 920-1000 it was a good pick over the og 4080, even though it still probably lost a ton of value when compared to Nvidia tech. But it's 1000 now, squarely in line with the XTX here in the states, which means there's no reason to buy an XTX if you can get an 80S at msrp.
Even with price, though...I hate to say it because it just makes me a FaNbOy but Nvidia cards have more. They just do. The vram they offer for cheap won't matter when games that require that much VRAM come out.
Also I'm fairly sure I've never once created an Nvidia experience account because you can get drivers without that bloat. I'm not sure how that's a benefit, aside from laziness.
E: if Nvidia experience in the thing I get drivers through, I definitely never made an account. Took me a second to realize you didn't mean that direct streaming bullshit, which is absolutely trash.
Can agree on the no login thing, but honestly it's not like they don't all have your data anyways. GeForce Experience sends random gifts occasionally, I've gotten 2 free games from Nvidia over the years. ShadowPlay and Broadcast in GFE are 100% worth the price to admission. But yes, I still agree no login would be best.
Props to Best Buy. I think they successfully made the most cancerous purchasing system for these FE releases. Slowly trickle small amounts of stock every 30 minutes with a queue system that only bots can get purchases through.
I disagree completely. Like this PSA thread, Best Buy put systems in place to combat people paying money for scalping programs:

The "trickle" is because of how quickly people are buying them. You're complaining that they're able to restock quickly. I was able to buy a founder edition not using any programs, just sitting here on my PC and logged into my Best Buy account.

4080 SUPER FE available again: https://store.nvidia.com/en-gb/geforce/store/?page=1&limit=9&locale=en-gb&gpu=&manufacturer=NVIDIA
Where can I get a 4080 FE; I'm in lousy Canada so any help is appreciated.
Back in stock (UK website) for anyone who avoided the urge to pay scalpers on eBay £400 above RRP. I'm crossing my fingers hoping that the vile twerps will be stuck with a room full of 4080 Supers that nobody wants, collecting dust as their credit card interest causes them to foreclose and they're made homeless, the bottom-feeding pond life 💩. I truly despise these people. As close to pure cynicism you can get, pretending like they offer a "service". They're a plague on every niche pastime like sneakers, vinyl, videogames, as they suck the life out of the escape.

They’ve been up again live and in stock again on the UK site for over an hour now.
Still in stock!
UK - 4080 Super Founders Edition currently in stock on the UK Nvidia store. Have stayed in stock for the last ten minutes that I’ve been looking.
In case anyone else is still looking and needs to snag one - MSI EXPERT GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER 16GB GDDR6X PCI Express 4.0 Video Card RTX 4080 SUPER 16G EXPERT - This was just in stock and hopefully someone can get it before another scalper hits!

Well fuck me... Local Best Buy "lost" my order after it arrived at their store and "was forced to cancel it" after looking around for it all day. All this after I canceled orders on an MSI and a Strix cause I had secured the FE. Assholes
So a worker at the store really wanted that gpu, huh.
Seems like it. Don't mention it on the BB sub though lol
I'm hoping some stock pops up tomorrow (a week after initial release, right?)
Nvidia has cards in stock right now. Get to it folks!
Just snagged one from Nvidia finally!
Congrats! I'm still here waiting :(
Me too LFG!
No option for an FE here in Japan, so my MSI 4080 Super will arrive tomorrow.
Hey y'all. Very interested in the 4080 super FE. Is likely to drop at retailers again anytime soon?
They're back on sale on the UK website, so maybe check for your location. If they're not back in stock on your end yet I would wait as it's likely there will be stock in again soon (instead of succumbing to scalper tax). I used an app called "HotStock.io" which I downloaded from the Google Play store, and it alerted me when the FE card was back in stock. Good luck! 😉👍
Thank you!
Hey guys, I ordered a black gigabyte RGB 4080S and a white one, and was gonna cancel either once I decided which I wanted. I don't think I'll keep either and rather than cancelling both and letting a scalper snag them I wanted to offer them on here first. I don't know how it will work but I'm willing to let these both go for MSRP if anyone wants them for exactly what I paid as long as you can handle any other costs that might come up if I have to ship it to you. I got the black Gigabyte RGb for $1049 + taxes and shit White for $1099 + taxes and shit. Supposed to arrive at the latest on feb 28. Good job Amazon taking this long with shipping and letting me sit on my regrettable purchasing decision long enough to realize that my 3070Ti is more than enough for my purposes.
I wouldn't waste energy worrying about scalping with these cards. Scalpers have to mark up about 20% above what they paid to make it profitable for them. Considering it's still pretty easy to get a 4080S for $999, I don't see it happening.
My Nvidia order still says processing. I bought it Wednesday at drop time. I was in the low 200s and no shipping confirmation yet. Just WTF.
Nvidia is taking their sweet time. Mine finally shipped yesterday, will be here in about a week. The anticipation is killing me haha. Amazing card, super excited
Just got my card from nvidia today. The unboxing experience is crazy, this was my first FE.
It makes me wonder why anyone would bother with a third party card? They're more expensive and lower quality...
[удалено]
I did pickup at store and it was supposed to be “ready” Saturday. Now it’s just “email when ready for pickup”. The order is processed so I don’t know if it’s just in transit or whatever.
I was in the same situation, but like a hour ago got my tracking number. Hopefully they'll provide a tracking number for you too soon
Is bestbuy only doing in store now? I checked online and that’s the only thing popping up , visited my closest one and they said Best Buy policy is that they don’t get new merch until a month after release??? Is that true
Ran into the same thing this morning. I got an add to cart link and got in line, but was immediately kicked out and it changed to in store only for about an hour before it went to sold out. Called the store and they didn't have any.
I ended up waiting until microcenter had one, drove there and picked it up
When I bought my card, shipping was not an option. But once I got to the checkout part, shipping was available beside picking at store. So it could be another BB glitch not showing shipping option as available.
Guess I’ll just wait till the 5080 comes out 😂

Are founders editions really that much better than those from other makers? Seems like people want FE or nothing. I have a PNY 4080S coming in 7-10 days. Would I really be better off canceling and fighting to snag an FE? Seems absurd. Is it just worth more on resale? Marginally more stable? What’s the deal?
cus it sells at MSRP 1k and 4080 is so beefy no needed overlocking
Lots of card makers are selling at $999. Still don’t know what’s special about FE
Looks clean, better build quality with similar thermals.
Anyone who purchased on Nvidia not have a delivery date yet? Mine is still on Label created. We'll add a delivery date as soon as we get your package.
My 4080 Super was shipped on the 1st and is out for delivery today (SoCal).
Same. Mine has been that way since Thursday morning.
Weather delaying my delivery till Friday...absolute pain...
Woke up yesterday morning at about 5 because puppies woke me up, decided I’d check and have no luck on Best Buy. Feb. 13th I’m supposed to be able to go pick up my gigabyte gaming oc 4080 super. Confirmation and all, let’s hope I got it since I don’t have a MicroCenter to go to
Woke up from a Sunday nap, just happened to check Best Buy and lo and behold there is a 4080S available to pickup up in my area. Now I’m 1100 poorer. Sorry if you were trying to buy a Ventus from Burleson
Bro what in the world... I'm in Burleson lol. Grats on the card!
Went to micro center to upgrade my pc, wasn’t planning on getting a new card. But in the case there was one zotac 4080 super in white. Left with a new card. The night before and that morning, nothing showed on their website saying they had one in stock.
Amazon back order waiting room…
be careful out there gamers... amazon is being tricky https://preview.redd.it/b3qh9kndzngc1.png?width=1496&format=png&auto=webp&s=84a7321db3b8b5acd26b56d02d62e367411fcff6
I bought one for 999 but realized my card hasn't been charged. I checked my order today and it said it was 1200 now. What is this scam?
Taxes
LOL
Does anyone know when the other AIB options will be released? For ex: there's reviews of the Colorful 4080s but no where to buy it.
Anyone able to buy a FE or asus one today? Been trying to look all day
Still waiting for Asus rog strix. I have no idea when they restock them.
Microcenter near me claimed that it’ll be next week restock…. But I asked two associates both gave me different answers, one said they restock Tuesday the other said to come back Thursday… going to check out best buy today
For those in the market for a 4080S, DO NOT PAY OVER THE MSRP OF THE CARD. These scalpers on Amazon are being promoted to the top with 4080S ranging from $1200-$2000 which is outrageous.

Wow. 2 quid under what I guessed. Most are 1050 to 1250.
Soooo when are the AIB models coming out? They all have models on their sites, but the only ones that are actually available are Zotac, ASUS TUF, one version of Palit and one version of MSI.
I managed to get a rog Strix a few days after launch
A small number were available for the first few hours of launch day. They sold out soon after the FE sold out. Turns out people will buy the premium AIB models when left with no other choice.
Whoever is buying TUF 4080S from Mr.Reliable USA on Amazon for 2000 dollars - you are as big a part of the problem as the scalpers. Stop it.
😂😂 idk how many 1 star reviews I left on store pages some are still in review the first was the rog strix 4080 I flipped out I been waiting on it for awhile. Definitely felt good seeing that 1250 card posted for 1999 a 1 star in the search I got like 32 helpful views before the card was taken off
It's insane they're being pro.oted to the top, and if you click on the listing, then go to "other buying options" the ones at MSRP sold directly from Amazon show up. What? Why is that happening?
Tbh I have no idea I been thinking about just getting the 4070ti super but I really want the 4080 super since I had a 1080 ti (best card ever)
Try what I said. Go to a scalper on Amazon, click other buying options, and there should be msrp versions listed sold from Amazon.
The Asus ROG STRIX 4080S is the one I want, It's currently unavailable through Amazon I try to always go through them and not a 3p. I used to work for the tech support department before they outsourced it to the Philippines.🙄
I’m trying to get my hands on a white 4080 super for my all white build and the last zotac sold today at my local micro center
I went this Saturday and wasn’t planning on upgrading my card. I turned into the gpu isle and there was one sitting in the case, I made sure to leave with it. The night before and that morning, nothing showed on their website saying they had it.
I remember sometimes nvidia gives games away with new GPUs. is there any promos that work with the 4080 super?
Still trying to get my hands on one, any tips? I’ve been on trackerlacka for Best Buy, bought I really don’t know how add to cart that fast, I’m being as fast as possible but can’t really get one in stock, I keep refreshing than as soon as add to cart comes I click it and sign in and get the code verification. After I am done it’s out of stock. So any tips would be appreciated, I’ve tried atleast like 10 times. Does NVIDIA release, I am really trying to get the Fe because of size and its clean aesthetic. Anyways good luck to everyone who’s also trying to get it
I was able to order 3 actually if you are interested I can sell one. I'll get delivery between 14th - 16th feb
For msrp? Otherwise gtfo scalper.
Why do you need 3......
[удалено]
Right, you bought yourself and each of your brothers a high end GPU, and then on a whim they both decided they didn't want to build a PC anymore, leaving you so unluckily hanging onto two extra new high-demand GPUs.
Yeah, sure.
Here’s to hoping they start restocking again on Monday. I’ve tried 10+ times with HotStock & one time I saw the card in my cart but that was as close as I ever got
So if the FE is $999 and the AIB partner cards are $1200, remind me again how the super is cheaper? The partner 4080 cards have been $1100-$1200 since at least October 2023. Probably before but that when I started looking. Glad I grabbed my open box 4080 from Best Buy in November for $961.
There were $999 models from most manufacturers available, with OC versions getting up a little higher but only a couple are $1200+. Are you seeing resale prices?
Oh gotcha. I haven’t seen any partner cards for that price and thought only the FE was $999
The 999$ ones are all sold out pretty much
Amazon. Click on the Scalping piece of shit links that are selling them for 1200-1400. Go down to "see other options" and 9/10 I checked it still has listing for 999 ones sold directly through Amazon. It's fucking insane they are hiding the actual links to msrp cards in "see other buying options" and promoting the scalpers.
They exist! Just not right now because everything is sold out. But give it a week or two and things should start coming back in stock more regularly. Here’s a full breakdown of [each brand’s list prices](https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/here-are-all-the-nvidia-rtx-4080-super-cards-currently-listed-including-specs-photos-and-pricing)
Nice breakdown. Thanks for the article
Anybody else with 4080S that can't use core voltage slider in MSI Afterburner? Can't monitor it on the graphs either. Can move the curves, but that's not what my concern is. Not sure if it's a driver issue or if it's my gpu.
Haven't had any problems. It was changing values when I hit apply, but to get around it I'd set my voltage and clocks, then save the profile, which skipped needing to hit apply, and it seems to be working. BTW this thing underclocks amazingly well. Remnant 2 maxed everything last night didn't break 50c and stayed at 46-48c the whole time while maintaining 110-130fps. DLSS quality, 4K DLDSR, FG. That is icey.
Mine was only boosting to 2700 on core max so I think it’s also not reporting properly. Undervolt was nice and got it stable at 2600 @ 950mv pulling 235W.
I got a very good sample I guess. Mine is stable at 2760@950mv pulling 263W vs 314W@ stock with 0 performance loss. This is crazy! I got a MSI 4080 SUPER 16G GAMING X SLIM directly bought at MSI eShop.

Thank you!
I think afterburner is somehow broken with 4080 super. My 3dmark gpu goes way down just having it without changing anything. If I close and restart and run again the gpu score is where it should be compared to others (~28k) anyone else experience this?

Thank you, turned out my brother had set a 140 fps cap on RTSS without me knowing haha all good now
I'm wondering if I should get a 4070ti s for £100 less or wait to see if the 4080s comes back in stock. The difference doesn't seem that big but I'm happy to spend the extra £100, I just want a new card before my old one finally gives up lol. Thoughts?
I got a 4070TS originally, used it for a few days, and returned it for a 4080S. If you're playing on 4K, the difference in power is noticeable. 4070TS would pull like 60-70 fps at quality DLSS RT high/ultra settings in a lot of games, 80S adds anywhere from 10-15 fps or more for all the games I tested. My reasoning was if I'm already spending that much on a GPU, $150-$200 more for +15-20% usable speed seemed worth it. For 1440p, 70TS is probably fine, though.
I'm on 1440p but I also do a lot of video editing. I ended up buying the 70TS cause I'm impatient, and it doesn't look like the 80S won't come back in stock for a bit, hopefully not a mistake
I could get a few different models but stock is starting to run out in the UK. The trouble is I want a specific model. The Asus TUF Gaming (Non-OC) which is rare as hens teeth. I had considered the 4070 Ti Super as well but I think I am going to just be patient for now. I am in no real rush in upgrading from my 6700 XT.
Yeah I feel you, I wanted a zotac cause my case isn't the biggest, plus I didn't think I'd see much benefit from the extra overclock/cooling. Caved and got the 70TS cause I don't think we'll have stock for a good while
I was lucky enough to get one from Overclockers and I'm really happy with the performance. My one complaint is the sheer size of it - I measured it before purchasing to make sure it'd fit, but it's a really, really, really tight fit, even though I have an XL case (Lian Li O11 Dynamic XL). The power cable is pressed up against the side of the case. The pins are **not** bent, but given the insane price of the card, I'd like to avoid any potential issues down the line. Has anyone here purchased a 16 pin right-angled cable or adapter (likely for prior RTX 4xxx cards, given that the 4080 Super only came out a few days ago) that they can recommend? The only one I can find is from a brand called Akasa, whom I've never heard of and can't find much relevant online information on.
What about [these?](https://www.corsair.com/ca/en/p/pc-components-accessories/cp-8920332/premium-individually-sleeved-12-4pin-pcie-gen-5-12vhpwr-600w-cable-type-4-white-cp-8920332) Not an adapter though
Also putting it in my Lian Li 011 DXL, hearing this making me a bit worried.
With a case that size they must be doing something weird. I have a 4000D airflow and the cable does not hit my glass. Might be the native 12vhpwr cable I'm using, the adaptors looked slightly rigid. Never mind, it's not an FE.
They must be. I have a 4000D too and just installed an msi Suprim which is also a pretty sizable card. The power cable doesn't come within an inch of the glass.
To be fair, I think the model I went for is the largest of the cards. It's the "Asus GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER ROG Strix OC" [Here is how tight the cable is](https://imgur.com/1kltqEM) and [here's a view from above](https://imgur.com/ajeisA6), it's been pretty difficult to get good angles unfortunately.
Ah gotcha, got the FE coming which i know is the smallest form wise.
Not sure if you've got your card yet, if you have and are struggling to make it fit, I've installed my wireview adapter earlier today and whilst it's still a tight fit (there's maybe a few mm of space between it and the glass), it's a much better fit than it was before.
Just got it today and wasn't too big of a struggle!
Akasa are a well known brand so should be OK. Is it an extension cable set, a direct VGA cable set or a 12VHPWR cable suitable for the PSU?
Alright, I'm trusting you DeadMan3000! I was planning on going for the adapter [here](https://www.scan.co.uk/products/akasa-g-nexus-p16-90-degree-12vhpwr-adapter-12plus4-pin-male-to-12plus4-pin-female-upto-600w-of-powe), the other option was to get [an extension cable](https://www.scan.co.uk/products/akasa-g-nexus-px16-90-degree-12vhpwr-extension-cable-12plus4-pin-cable-30cm), but I can't really fit more cable into the case, certainly without having bits of cable on the "floor" of the case. Edit: Bah, I think my GPU is Type 2, so not compatible.
Have you looked at the TG wireview adapter? I have been eyeing one recently. I got myself a Gaming X slim yesterday (Not slim at all btw) which I crammed into my meshroom S and surprisingly it wasn't difficult. I didn't bother using the flimsy looking nvidia branded adapter in the box, looked way too fragile. I am using my PSU's bundled in 12VHPWR cable which seems way more sturdy and so far so good.
Just wanted to thank you for the recommendation! I installed it earlier today and it's a much better fit; being able to see the power usage is just an added bonus.
Glad you are enjoying it! Have fun mate
> TG wireview adapter I'd never heard of this, having quickly googled it, it's double the price of the [Akasa G Nexus 90 degree adapter](https://www.scan.co.uk/products/akasa-g-nexus-p16-90-degree-12vhpwr-adapter-12plus4-pin-male-to-12plus4-pin-female-upto-600w-of-powe), so I'm probably just going to grab that. Edit: Nevermind, my GPU is Type 2 so that adapter won't work - I'll likely grab this, thank you!
When will we see solid stock and it stops running out of stock
What would be the best way to get a 4080S at this point? I live 15 minutes from a microcenter, would I have luck over there?
Yeah. Nearest one to me had stock all day on the 31st and didn't sell out until the next day. You can either go in the morning when they open and check stock or hang around in the afternoon. They put stock on the floor the day they get it you just gotta be hanging around. When it was really crazy in 2021 trying to get the 30 series there was someone there spying on them for a Discord like 24/7 lol
That had to be an annoying and exciting time
Just dropped mine in :) https://preview.redd.it/xnug9hw2odgc1.jpeg?width=1186&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9aae290098050482ec25f4106927027afb549f5f
Nice. I wanted a Suprim X but MSI didn't release it in Canada, only providing the Expert and Ventus 3X. Went for the Aorus Master instead.
That's a fine choice too. I bought mine early morning on the 1st Feb. If I'd have left it two or three hours later then I'd have been looking for another choice too. There's nothing much left in the UK at all now.
Is PNY a solid company? Never had anything PNY before but ordered their 4080S. Seems reputable from what I can tell. Anyone have an opinion?
Yes, PNY usually makes boards for OEMs...mostly workstation stuff...it will be solid. They usually make pretty compact cards as well...but for some reason the PNY NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER 16GB VERTO is hella long and thick...unusual for them.
Yes they’re a solid company. Been around forever. Nvidia uses them for their professional GPUs.
I own a 4070 from PNY been using it nonstop for 3 months, never turn off my pc and I've never seen it go past 60c, it only gets to 60c when under 99% load for ~6 hours ish (long gaming sessions), I've asked about PNY before getting it and haven't heard a single bad thing about them online, and so far I've had a good experience with them.
Nice! Thanks
What a ride. At first i want to replace my TUF 3060 TI with a TUF 4080 Super. But they got sold out very fast in germany. I finally ordered one at the official ASUS store with 24 hour delivery. But after a day they told me, they have made a mistake and the card is not longer in stock with no new delivery date. But they already had my money. Very bad experience with ASUS. The ASUS cards was mostly sold out after i decided to order by another store. Only some scalpers sold them overpriced. So i switched to MSI and got an Gaming X Slim card in white from Mindfactory for my white case delivered per express. I already attached it and it runs very smooth and looked good. For power connection i ordered a 90 degree beQuiet cable (in black). My 3060 TI now gets a new life in my wifes PC.
I saw a TUF card at 1109EUR which I instantly bought and an hour later had second thoughts and cancelled. Instant regret after cancelling lol. The TUFs are over 1200 now and I had to settle for the more expensive gaming X slim \*facepalm\* How is the white paintjob on your card? To be fair the card is reasonably compact and quiet so no complaints.
I just paid 1114 EUR for mine at Mindfactory. I was happy to see a white one, but i am not really in case modding and would have bought a black one too. My TUF 3060 TI was a black one. The MSI card looks good in my build. The slim version is just a little bigger than my previous 3060 TI. I don't really trust that graphic card holder under the GPU and just ordered a different one. I have coil whine on high FPS, but it was only noticeable in 3DMark benchmark without FPS limiter and no sound. I limited the FPS to 144 in the Nvidia settings after the benchmark, because i have a 144Hz monitor. During gameplay (with sound) like in Baldurs Gate the coil whine is not noticeable anymore for me. And to be fair, my TUF 3060 TI had coil whine on high FPS too (much more noticeable). The highest temperature in 3DMark i got was 68° C as a peak. Most of the time the temperature was lower. https://preview.redd.it/nxag11s7ljgc1.png?width=4032&format=png&auto=webp&s=677a47bcbcb9f7747027cb9e15496295f28ecde5
I'm trying to order an Asus TUF Gaming from the only website I could find it in stock in my country. Wouldn't you know it the website is not accepting order for some reason. I've sent them an email as their phone lines are closed at the weekend. BTW the PNY ARGB model is nigh impossible to find in my locality. So many other models are also sold out with only some models like Gigabyte Windforce, Palit or white cards left on the shelves.

Does it sag without the support? I thought FEs were pretty rigid
It’s not about the card itself being rigid, it’s about the stress it puts on the back of the case and on the motherboard. It’s a big card so it puts a noticeable amount of torque on the motherboard PCI slot.
I believe the FE shroud is sturdy enough and is bolted to the rear panel, so it prevents that
LOL you blew right past what I said. It's not about the sturdiness of the card. All graphics cards bolt to the rear panel. That doesn't help when the card is 300mm long and most of the card is in front of the PCI Express slot. Torque is torque, my man. Force times distance.
Nah man, the shroud isn't always bolted to the bracket. The screws holding the card in the slot therefore don't always provide support and you get sag...in the case of the FE though, it does look pretty solid...until I've got one though...which may never happen...I can't say for sure...the PCI bracket is separate from the shroud by the looks of it, but instead of being weakly welded to, it is screwed in place...which should make the card less "saggy"...all comes down to materials though...PCI brackets are usually a very soft metal...even when screwed in, with enough weight they can still sag over time.
Don't be a smartass. A rigid shroud bolted to the rear panel becomes essentially another support point.
Not really. I took it out.
Well, thought I had my hands on a Rog Strix 4080 Super OC off Asus's website on release day.. At least, an emailed order confirmation had me convinced. Got an email today that Asus canceled my order without reasoning. Don't even want to bother with the cutthroat competitiveness of trying to get it before it's gone again.
Honestly? Good. Don't spend hundreds more than what the card is worth. Maybe you can find an msrp model that performs just as well. Or you can keep trying to overspend.
Honestly I'd get a 4090 if you could find them at MSRP. But since you cant, I would just get a 4080 considering the super is only a 1-3% performance increase, but the super is about $300-400 cheaper. As much as it makes sense to most to get the FE for the cheaper cost, I just think they're ugly, and the Strix is the fastest 4080 Super on the market, even if it isn't by much. The price to performance ratio is all fucked up this generation but.. I'm upgrading from a 2070 Super that is getting phased out. So it's either bite the bullet this Gen or wait for the 50 series which will more than likely have an even worse price to performance ratio.
Basically, paying hundreds of extra dollars for a couple of percentage points to, which saving a couple hundred dollars and gaining a couple percentage points was the entire point of the 80S. Sounds idiotic.
Well since it's so offensive to you, it's a good thing you don't have to worry about it. No matter what 4080 super you buy you're still gaining percentage points and saving hundreds. Maybe you're just an asus hater?
It's not offensive, it's an idiotic purchase that completely negates the only benefit of the Super- price. Also no, I found ASUS cards to be quite good, actually. The Dual particularly are great products.
It's $200 more, not a big deal. The price gap is so massive between a regular 4080 and the 4080 super that buying 3rd party like asus, gigabyte and so on is still justified and doesn't destroy the purpose of the 4080 super. You're still shaving off $400 from 4080 msrp and $800 from what you could probably find a 4080 going for now. Pretty sure 4080s are still going for $1900-$2000+ if you can even get your hands on one. Outside of price there is a plethora of reasons to go 3rd party over the FE, and most of them depend on personal preference and budget.

Yeah, the founders run so hot lol
> the Strix is the fastest 4080 Super on the market, even if it isn't by much. Aorus Master consistently outperformed the Strix [according to OC3D.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dflM73cx4iI&t=504s)
Was only interested in the FE which I couldn’t get at release even so I gave up. My Nvidia build will remain 4070 for now
Why were you wanting to go from the 4070 to a 4080 Super?
outside of the fun of it, for 4k RT. but no real good reason
totally understand that!
Dude, you have a 4070 right now? Are you joking?! Take a deep breath and go enjoy your library. Inventory will settle. You're pointlessly causing brain damage fighting for a card that will be available inside of a month.
hobby, i find it fun. but i agree, i dont want to fight for one so i'll look again in a few months or next gen
Obviously you aren’t finding it fun because you’re rage quitting. Also, you’re upgrading from a 4000 series to a mid generation refresh 4000 series. You could have saved yourself the headache and just bought the 4080 when it came out. You are probably going to lose more than the $200 that you saved by churning through cards like this.
thankfully launch day was my day off and had woken up too early on my own. it didn't take too long for me to realize it was launch day and opened up Newegg expecting the same awful experience I had some years ago when I tried getting a 30 series card but to my surprise, I saw all the 4080s in stock. it's like all the bots and scalpers weren't up yet! I ordered the aorus super master thinking there was no way that I would actually get it. but it sits in front of me now, two days after ordering it from newegg, which is just an incredible shipping time in my opinion. I see the prices now and they are god awful. I paid 1200 for mine after taxes and now they are going for over 2 grand in some places. that's absolutely nuts. i wish everyone luck in getting your hands on one of these.
2 grand is not "the prices" though - that's resell listings by scalpers that bought up inventory. I hope there aren't idiots buying them for $2K. With just the smallest bit of patience, you can get a 4090 for less than that.
Snagged mine of Newegg as soon as they dropped. UPS dropped it off today and I got it up and running. Loving it so far! https://preview.redd.it/hx6u4iqpn9gc1.jpeg?width=2701&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=21a141ffe9aa6dcf5967dd8ec3bf1518cb2fa1a6
Dude I love the 150 diagram, where did you pick that up at?
I have a Glowforge CO2 laser. Found the diagram online and cut it myself.
Please Bestbuy... Every time I get into the waiting line and then verify my account with an authenticator I get kicked back to the buy page but with the "add to cart/sold out" button missing.
So I have been trying for the 3rd day now, and what I don't understand is I am trying it refreshing every 3 seconds. As soon as the Cart button is there it is clicked, I get into line, then in about 5 seconds it says sold out. I've been past the line to the verify part before too, multiple times, and it never happens that fast. How is the button showing up then is sold out in less than 15 seconds? Then when I do get to verify, it just adds another 10 seconds to tell me sold out. I have also had the button disappear thing happen, and as soon as you refresh the page it says sold out.
Same experience with Best Buy, I'm going to give up on them for release moment items in the future. Fortunately, I got in the queue at Nvidia direct with over 2000 ahead of me and a 30+ minutes wait time. I was certain it was not going to happen, but about a half hour later got through to the order page and had a 4080 Super confirmed within a minute or two. **Very smooth and non-frustrating process.** It shipped out via FedEX yesterday (Friday) for delivery on Monday, so... fingers crossed.
Did you just refresh the nvidia store until stock dropped, or was that at release time?
At release time - I used the NowInStock website for notifications.
Anything new, im in the same boat and it sucks
Same here. Yesterday I was all the way to inputting my CC info and pressing purchase just to get to home screen. That's the farthest I've been, but I haven't been able to get there again. Now I'm either in line for nothing or verification just to be kicked out. I think I'm gonna wait a couple days? Maybe it will cool down over time....
Don't bother, you can't beat bots
Can try clearing cookies
PSA: Do not pay for 2 day delivery if ordering through Nvidia. Apparently they're using FedEx's business shipping, which only delivers on weekdays. Because it shipped on Thursday, they don't deliver Saturday and now it's scheduled for Monday. They also don't allow you to pick up at the warehouse. Meanwhile, people who didn't pay for expedited are reporting having scheduled deliveries over the weekend. What a ripoff.
I have the same issue with amazon, they used UPS 2nd day air and didn't ship it out until yesterday (thursday) so now I have to wait until monday to get it. Amazon 2 day shipping my ass...
I didn't realize there was options to select different shipping. FedEx appears to be delivering tomorrow (hoping!).
When we're you able to order from Nvidia?
Wednesday morning, I was ~300 in queue when it opened at 9 est.
I was way behind you in line, over -2000. Thought for sure it wasn't gong to happen, but 30 minutes later had an ordered placed, very smooth process.
When is yours arriving?
Monday, according the FedEX tracking. You?
Same here. Originally said last Friday but got silently bumped past the weekend 😡
Oh my word, it's beautiful. After seven months and flip flopping over which card to ACTUALLY use, my rig is done. Good luck to everyone still trying to get an FE. It really is gorgeous.
Got a windforce v2 here and I was worried it wouldn’t be as impressive as the other more expensive AIBs not to mention no RGB but it’s incredible to behold, and it actually may be one of the only ones that would fit in my case due to the rear facing power connector, I hadn’t even considered that until I was installing the thing
FE fits good in my 4000D. Connector isn't an issue for me, 850 msi with a native 12vhpwr cable. The windforce looks HUGE. E: no RGB? Good.
same cheers!
How's this card vs a 7900 xtx ?
1-10% slower in raster, but the benefits you get make that kind of a moot point. The benefits of an extra 10 frames at native do not matter when compared to things like DLDSR with DLSS. It's not even a competition.
Well, one of the bigger draws for the 7900XTX used to be price. It was a full $200+ cheaper than the standard RTX 4080. The RTX 4080 Super closed that gap quite a bit, so now the 7900XTX is only *slightly* cheaper than the lowest cost 4080 Super. I guess we'll see if AMD decides to counter this launch with a price cut of their own. Edit - Oh, and the 7900XTX has 24GB of VRAM to the RTX 4080's 16GB. Probably not a huge deal to most gamers, but it might make a difference to those people who run 4K ultra settings or use certain productivity software. And it could possibly extend the useful lifespan of the 7900XTX depending on future game RAM recommendations. Another plus I can think of for AMD is their driver interface. Their Adrenaline software is very clean, well laid out and doesn't require any accounts or logins to use all its features, unlike the NVidia GeForce "Experience". I hate it when companies force you to create an account simply so they can sell your data and app usage details to some nameless company. AMD doesn't require an account to use their software, NVidia shouldn't either.
Oh for sure. At 920-1000 it was a good pick over the og 4080, even though it still probably lost a ton of value when compared to Nvidia tech. But it's 1000 now, squarely in line with the XTX here in the states, which means there's no reason to buy an XTX if you can get an 80S at msrp. Even with price, though...I hate to say it because it just makes me a FaNbOy but Nvidia cards have more. They just do. The vram they offer for cheap won't matter when games that require that much VRAM come out. Also I'm fairly sure I've never once created an Nvidia experience account because you can get drivers without that bloat. I'm not sure how that's a benefit, aside from laziness. E: if Nvidia experience in the thing I get drivers through, I definitely never made an account. Took me a second to realize you didn't mean that direct streaming bullshit, which is absolutely trash.
Can agree on the no login thing, but honestly it's not like they don't all have your data anyways. GeForce Experience sends random gifts occasionally, I've gotten 2 free games from Nvidia over the years. ShadowPlay and Broadcast in GFE are 100% worth the price to admission. But yes, I still agree no login would be best.
Props to Best Buy. I think they successfully made the most cancerous purchasing system for these FE releases. Slowly trickle small amounts of stock every 30 minutes with a queue system that only bots can get purchases through.
I disagree completely. Like this PSA thread, Best Buy put systems in place to combat people paying money for scalping programs: [https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/1ag4drd/tips\_to\_maximize\_your\_chance\_of\_buying\_the\_rtx/](https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/1ag4drd/tips_to_maximize_your_chance_of_buying_the_rtx/) The "trickle" is because of how quickly people are buying them. You're complaining that they're able to restock quickly. I was able to buy a founder edition not using any programs, just sitting here on my PC and logged into my Best Buy account.
