RAFFLE UPDATE:

We're 90% done.
Remind me back then when installing the old Windows, which take ages for the last few percent.

PLE update on Twitter

6+ weeks if you join the queue now, that's not half as bad as people are assuming here.

Yeah but it also tells me that they're confident on getting those who ordered last night sorted a lot sooner than the Debby Downer's here would have you believe.

I think the whole supply situation isn't as apocalyptic as a lot of people were assuming online. It's very far from great for sure, and might be that way for the rest of the year, but I'm somewhat optimistic we'll have more opportunities going into October onwards is the message I'm getting from the retailers.

I wonder where the bottleneck has been for this release. Did Nvidia pull the trigger and Samsung had to play catchup? Is Covid delaying logistics to Foxconn (I assume they assemble) then also the lack of planes means lower quantities and/or slower freight methods? Many other factors I'm sure. Hopefully someone does full analysis on it later.

Apparently MWave's FE allocation is 15 cards according to a friend who claims someone he knows works at a PC store and they heard this info from a supplier.

*take this sketchy friend of a friend info with the biggest grain of salt

My mum's sister's nephew told me that this was false information.

Well my order at PLE went from an email this morning saying i was unsuccessful in obtaining launch stock to a delivery this afternoon with the 3080 i ordered.

All plugged in and ready to roll

Congrats, what time did you order and where were you roughly in terms of order number?

Have a good weekend my guys.
