The RTX 3080 is already sold out everywhere , and as soon as something sell out mass like to then resell it , which means there are passel of auctions on Ebay . But who on earth just buy the Nvidia Geforce RTX 3080 for $ 70,000 . What the screw ? ! $ 70,ooo ? ! Who would buy a graphics posting for 9900 % more than its MSRP ?
Others who were awake in time to buy an RTX 3080 when orders live live clicked on the ‘ bargain ’ release only to get a pop - up that said they were sell out . Some Twitter user are also claiming that Nvidia art visiting card partners did not station notification emails to their customers either .

According toa telecasting posted by one Reddit user , they never even get a line a ‘ leverage ’ clitoris pop up on Nvidia ’s retail varlet on its own site . In the furnish video recording , you could see the internet browser on the ripe auto refresh every few seconds . After about three refreshes , the ‘ send word me ’ button disappears and change to ‘ out of stock . ’ Multiple Reddit users have also said the same affair pass off to them when they tried to purchase an RTX 3080 this morning .
I was able to assert that as of now , the Nvidia web site does say that the RTX 3080 beginner editionis sold out . The relaxation of the options say “ correspond availability , ” when then take you to another retail merchant ’s site to check its stock on partner producer cards . The first three I clicked on redirected me to Newegg and Best Buy , which also said the RTX 3080 was sold out .

There was also aliteral cable out the main entrance of Micro Center in Tustin , CAof citizenry who were waiting to bribe an RTX 3080 in - soul — people that , unhappily , might not have gotten one today . According to the Reddit user that posted the video , the Tustin Micro Center had 85 RTX 3080s in stock as of 9 pm yesterday , and there were over 100 people hold off in crinkle at the time .
Naturally , when a merchandise deal out this quick ( and in some case does n’t sell at all ) resellers can be involved . A quick look atEbayright now shows some wit auctioning as high as $ 60,000 ! Most cards are being sold for anywhere between $ 1,000-$5,000 , but still — this is a $ 700 card ! Someone just bought it for $ 70,000 ! ( If you are this person please reach out to me at[email protect ] . I need to know your story . )
Nvidia at least seems to be cognisant of the scalper problem and in reality claims that ’s one reason online sales have been so uncanny . In a statement sent to Gizmodo it noted that “ [ d]espite preparation , the Nvidia memory was inundated with traffic and encountered an error ” when it attempted to push the storage endure this morning time . While it claims it was able to solve those job it also mark that “ [ T]o report bots and scalper on the Nvidia store , we ’re doing everything humanly possible ” . The assertion go on to say that Nvidia is reviewing orders manually in an effort to turn back scalpers — which could make pick one up on Ebay at a premium a unsound pick .

Nvidia also stress that while need is high it is working on getting more RTX 3080 GPUs into memory board and that as of 6 a.m. Pacific today “ over 50 major global retailers had stock list ” . Nvidia ’s command lead on to apologize for today ’s event .
Nvidia is n’t the only party that quickly run out of stock . Many people who tried to pre - regularize the PS5 this morning have plain beenscrewed overby retail merchant . Sony said on its Twitter account yesterday that pre - decree would get this morning . Unfortunately , if you were n’t keep an eye on Target , Walmart , or any other retailer ’s Twitter page last Nox you missed that they started preorders early .
And like the RTX 3080 , scalpers are marking up the price of the PS5 online . That ’s not surprising in the least , but add up on ! 2020 has been a nightmare , to say the least . At least give genuine , paying customer a little bit of felicity instead of attempt to wring their cant business relationship .
