What did you order if you don't mind me asking?

I got a scorptec order in around 12.40am for an EVGA FTW3 (pretty much as soon as I was able to get through checkout).

Are you saying orders made around that time are being considered early?
RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra Gaming
10G-P5-3897-KR

Was your order number a 15217**?

I'm just going on my gut feeling from reading various social media places & websites that not many people actually got through to put orders in at Scorptec until well after 1:30am vs PLE which took in thousands because their site was more accessible and cheaper.

My order number is 152184* for the same GPU you ordered (my order was placed at 12.49, not 12.40)

Order status is still pending and "Awaiting Stock Availability".

Hope you're right though, would be really nice to get the order shipped within a month or so.

PLE SO-8724xx (18/9 6:39am), status – "awaiting processing"

well they might not *ALL* be 3080 orders.. but I placed an order for someting this afternoon with order number
SO-8769xx – so potentially 4500 3080 card ordered so far.

Supposedly Zotac have over 20,000 orders for their cards just on Amazon.

Out of interest, why is everyone jumping on the PLE store for their orders? For anything other than EVGA their prices are the comparable to others. Considering all the extra orders they're receiving, are people expecting them to get more stock compared to other stores?

I'm still catching up on half a dozen pages of reading in this thread so possibly already answered.. if it has then this is just a reminder to other people looking to buy an 3080:

PLE didn't hike the prices up $200-300 on launch day like a lot of other 'reputable' stores (MWAVE, PC CASE GEAR to mention two) so PLE's fairness was wanting to be rewarded for not ripping purchasers off.

I've seen order numbers as low as 86990, which is 7000 orders. Not all of them will be 3080s but I'd wager a very high percentage of them are given their EVGA cards are still the cheapest in AU and accepting preorders.

bout the only complaint people level at the EVGA cards is regarding that red accent piece on the end(s) of the cards. And EVGA are looking at offering a free replacement/cover for it.

it'd be nice if EVGA released a 3D printed model for the endpiece, so then people could edit and make their own.

Did they still give you a 6+ week time frame?

Suddenly my 872xxx order doesn't seem so bad anymore.

Our orders would be very close to each other then, we might be one after another in the queue for the FTW3.

Knowing my luck you'll get yours in a couple weeks and then I get told I'm first in line for the next shipment in December.

I paid $319 at PLE for an AX850 Titanium last year. Now $419...

I paid $199 (actually $159 as there was a 20% discount event on ebay at the time) last September from Computer Alliance on ebay – 850 Watt Corsair RM850 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply CP-9020196-AU

looks like is around $220 now and has 3x 8 pin power connectors.

Got mine in August for $371. Glad to know I didn't buy at the peak of the market lol.

Interesting there is nothing about the 3090 availability and pricing for Aus yet I can find.

Just the “raffle”, the rest all just have awaiting info from nvidia.

So they give this guy a "review sample", it's obvious they were going for coverage not for reviews

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwT-eU3T9D0

On another note, TecLab which accurately leaked the 3080 performance before the embargo lift (30% more than 2080Ti, 500W total system power) has now leaked the 3090 performance as being only 7% faster on average than the 3080

Purchasers may want to think twice about spending 3K+ on the 3090

I thought that said 3.4k subs, then saw the M.

It’s like really, a first person shooter streamer needs a 3080 on day 0.

It does smell a little bit like just going for eyeballs to saturate the market. “Mum I need a 3080 for school for learning from home”.

Been discussed a few pages back, number look strange. The power draw doesn’t make sense.

I have never even heard of the guy, though I don't really care for any of the youtuber streamers, so annoying with there "Comment down below, hit that like button" and all that nonsense.

It’s basically the same as the 3080’s, which suggests it’s been crippled someway or it’s faked.

Could be deliberate in drivers.

I scrubbed through teclab's video and didn't see any reference to power draw.. do you have a link or timestamp?

Exactly the same power draw measured as the 3080. Seems suspicious.
