Based off of what we have seen, NVidia did not want to deal with the customers when there was a chip shortage and the issues caused by all the scalpers buying up the GPU's so they handed the customer facing business over to Best Buy exclusively for the Founder Editions. NVidia does and has reserved the rights to list and sale the items on the NVidia store but most are sold via Best Buy. Now this is where it gets bad for me, Best buy employees 1) never know about stock, you can not pre-order most of the time, and if you are a loyal customer you will most likly not be able to walk into a store and get a NVidia Card. The will simply try to get you to pay them for a membership that will not guaranty you can get one either. The membership is to have the access what they call "early access". Basically Best Buy has done a huge dis-service to the customers that have shopped with them for years and NVidia by not keeping the scalpers from acquiring the units and further added to the issue by opportunistically forcing the market to purchase a service from them to even have a chance to acquire a card. It seems allot like extortion to me and has done nothing to provide so many NVidia customers access to the products.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.In a very dumb move Best buy made these online only. Which bots/scalpers took advantage of.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.They did for the 3000 series occasionally, but for now, this thing currently is only available for purchase from a scalper on E-bay. DO NOT feed the scalpers; it only encourages scummy behavior!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I called my local store in MA and they said this was an online launch only.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Online only.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No they don't. I went to the store today to inquire and complain about this rollout. They have literally zero information on when any new stock will be available. I am certain scalpers will know exactly when new stock is available and will buy it up immediately.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I went to my local store and they did not receive any. So this is an online sclaper exclusive.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I'm not sure, but I don't think they do. They didn't stock the 3090 when I was looking for that one. I ended up buying from a guy on Craigslist. I'll probably try and do that again with this card. Frustrating!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I went to one in Manchester,CT waited 3 hours til they opened at 11 to hear an employee laugh when I asked him about the 4090…”yeah right” was his answer lol “not for a few months probably…
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Just stopped by one and can confirm they have none in stock and don't know a thing about the launch or when/if they'll get any in at all.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
