The checkout process took 30 minutes for me. Paypal timed out but then I managed to get it through credit card.

I have a confirmation email, but no idea if I'll actually get one

If you have an order email I'd imagine your good. Is there an estimated delivery date on it?

I see big navi has done nothing to calm the scramble to get nvidia cards..

In fairness both consoles look excellent this time around. I had a PS5 for launch but giving it to my brother and two Xbox series X going to family.

Got a FE 3070 in my basket around 1.10 and just now finally got the payment made with scan. Each screen takes ages and can require refreshing or resubmitting.

Good luck!

There will never be a shortage of people wanting to get short-stock cards like these.

Some people don't want to wait for Navi, some people just prefer Nvidia, some specifically need Nvidia, and so on.

It is interesting looking at some of the bigger forums. A lot of people cancelling orders, but majority of people were already waiting it out anyway, given the total lack of Nvidia stock.

Some of the 3070 partner cards are as expensive as the 3080FE.

Lol.

ah well no longer in my basket **** scan and nvidia. :pac:

AMD here I come for the exact same experience with a sh1t checkout system from scan

Lol.

Why is that. Are the partner cards substantially different to the FE?

So much for postponing the 3070 launch to sort out the stock issues.....

I managed to get one on Scan that's supposed to be due on 30 November. I've been charged but I haven't got a confirmation email. I don't know if that's a bad sign.

Took about 30 minutes for me to get my confirmation mail yesterday for the 3080

Same issue here. Got to checkout, picked my payment method and then timed out, the service unavailable, then a 502 error and then when it came back my basket was empty.

I pre-ordered one for the laugh. I'm sure I'll be number 5,000 in the queue. Still intend getting 6800XT most likely, but worst case scenario whenever the 3070 does arrive it shouldn't be too difficult to move on.

Might even bang it into my PC (3700X/32GB) and sell it, and just build brand new for 5800X and 6800XT.

MidlanderMan

There's a lot of 3070 partner cards floating around.

Just came through!

Still think Scan are handling things a lot better than overclockers.

Because of demand and stock issues. Its not like you can say I won't buy the expensive 3070 ill just buy a founders 3080. Founders 3080 is the only one that hasn't seen a big price hike in most retailers so sells out very quick.

Lack of patience also. It sux waiting for stock to fill out,I'm not going to pay a large premium but obviously some people will.

I started this wanting a 3080 after the launch event,now a few weeks later im thinkin I may end up with a 6800XT or a 6900XT depending on stock which is also fine just a PIA waiting around for all the launches to happen and stock to appear

EoinHef

PC Gamer reporting all major retailers in UK and US are out of 3070 stock.

DrSpongeBobz

lol 2020 is fun

cromelex

Had one in my basket but was unable to checkout due to the site failing so much.

A bit frustrating, but expected.

Doing a Ryzen 5600X / X570 build, wanted a 3080 or 3070, maybe even a 6800 XT but always had great experience with nvidia (currently have a 1070).

Was really trying to hedge my options now by grabbing a FE 3070. The price on the custom cards is very steep.

Could be a fair bit of buyer's remorse with this nvidia release imo, which seems mad from how it felt at the time of the presentation. This entire range is going to look a lot different in 6 short months when supply issues are sorted and AMD's line up is readily available. That would make 2 generations in a row where nvidia customers feel regret/annoyance, could cause a fair bit of lasting damage to their reputation maybe/hopefully .

Bought a ASUS 3070 OC, would have liked the FE but both my monitors are HDMI

Upgrading from a 970...please reassure me I am not wasting my money? Bit of an impulse buy

Scan - Pile of pants, spent 45mins with 3070 FE in the basket, issues trying to check out and eventually ended up with nothing in the basket

That will be an immense upgrade. 3070 can handle 4k 60 if it's non RT stuff, or possibly if you use DLSS.

I put in an order for an asus oc 3070 also, 5 mins before 1pm on overclockers. I went with amazon pay though which I think will push me down the queue due to processing time
