When do the next generation GPUs drop?

They should do shuffles, queues, or auctions. Definitely not: “hey here’s some cards good luck.”

What do they care? A sold card is a sold card. There is zero incentive for them to invest in any sort of additional system to prevent bots.

Auctions would literally make them more money.

Edit: also, this forum could stand to be more positive and less argumentative. JFC

How would an auction help? Bots can do auctions, and the people running the bots can afford to pay way more than you can.

Also Newegg is buying a lot of good will right now. BB lost a lot of my respect, honestly. Fairly or not.

There is already a law on using bots to buy concert tickets, so I could see it getting extended to other items.

arrendek · 2021-06-10T21:30:54.071Z

Yeah, I’m very much for looking into that.

Lantz · 2021-06-10T22:33:33.337Z

Why is that? I queued into like 10 cards on best buy this afternoon off a notification like minutes after they listed so you don’t need a bot to queue. I didn’t get one, but people did. I’m legit curious how you think they should have done it better?

Papageno · 2021-06-10T23:15:32.541Z

For the record, I agree with you, there should be laws about bots like that. I was just saying they’re very unlikely to happen since we have certain elements in Congress who can’t agree that the sky is blue on a clear day if it means they’re agreeing with their political opponents.

Menzo · 2021-06-10T23:24:51.208Z

The cries of a couple thousand sweaty nerds who can’t get their $1000 videocards on day one are not going to motivate congress.

And thank god for that. There are much higher priorities.

This is uncalled for.

Come on, we’ve both been posting here for more than a decade. Have a little sense of humor.

Papageno · 2021-06-10T23:35:12.675Z

Of course there are higher priorities. I’m talking about when those are taken careBWAHAHA sorry I couldn’t finish writing that without busting out laughing. This country is so dysfunctional these days that we won’t handle those either.

But for the record, I’m not sweaty, although I suppose I am pretty nerdy.

I am pretty sure he was trying to show you how he felt a few posts above.

Can’t all us sweaty nerds just get along?

Two 3080 Ti with psu bundles appeared today for $2500 CAD and were snapped up.

Papageno · 2021-06-11T00:00:29.624Z

Cripes. Were the power supplies at least decent, like Seasonic ones or something, or just something to shove into the box?

Your order has been built, tested and is on the way.

Still shows estimated shipping date as 6/17/21, so not sure if it is truly on its way.

Edit: and there’s the fedex tracking #. Saturday it is.
