A:Answerit went from "coming soon" to "sold out" almost instantly... no one had a chance against the bots. another reason BB sux and sites like nwegg use a shuffle
A:AnswerNvidia stated their current fe cards wont have LHR. All new production ie the 3070ti and 3080ti will be limited.
All partner boards for current dyes will be labeled as LHR going forward if they are LHR. ie 3080s going forward will have two variations. the New LHR and the original non-LHR.
A:AnswerNope, the drops are "random" and the purchase is based on a physical ticket system where you have to get a ticket. You can either be early and get the ticket or buy one from the many scalpers who were there early.
A:AnswerWhen the 3060Ti went on sale, NVidia allowed for a 9:00 AM Pacific release time. So, noon Eastern. Bets Bye, however, didn't release them until I'd walked away from the F5 key. BB let them go at around 9:13 AM. They were gone by 9:18 AM.
The way they time it, you either have to be VERY lucky, or made purely of electrons. I'm neither, so I won't be wasting my time tomorrow. On the bright side, at least I don't have to go urban camping..
A:AnswerBoth. They have selected stores for the GPU. Be on the lookout in this link https://corporate.bestbuy.com/archive/ . They release the dates and location before the 3080 Ti went on sale.
