I sometimes love the internet.
Oculus oversells its preorders and can't adequately deliver, and they're the devil.
NVIDIA cuts off its preorders to make sure that doesn't happen, and they're the devil.
LOL, nice observation.
RIP RedEye9. We miss you.

Put 100 GTX 1080 on for a sale and ya have a "sell out" in a hour
So fucking easy to fool peps to think " woooow i MUST have one it is soooo popular "
Lets see them in action THEN one can see if it is oki doki
Uh, "seeing them in action". You mean all the benchmarks and reviews that are already out, and tell you a lot more than any individual owner is going to tell you about the performance increase? Your post is short, but your contempt for these cards is clear. So either you're dead set on AMD, or you're broke.
I'm more interested in the overclocked ones that secondary manufacturers are going to make. They'll be cheaper, or at worst, the same price as the FE cards, and if the benchmark testers really got "average" chips, the overclocks will be...significant.

Still waiting for Big Pascal. This shit isn't the flagship. That's why its performance isn't all that it could have been.
This... before i buy anything i'm waiting to see just what the 'real' pascal /w 16gb of hbm2 can do.

I'd love to know how pre-orders "sell out"...;) Perhaps they meant that people stopped pre-ordering them just a few minutes after they went on sale?...;) Marketing BS is always good for a laugh...
You may be confusing digital preorders with preorders of physical hardware. With digital media, infinite copies can be made basically instantly. Obviously with physical hardware this isn't the case. The initial run will have been quantified, so there's a limited amount they are committing to. That's what sold out. Of course they'll do another run, and more will be made available, but perhaps they weren't expecting such an overwhelming response and didn't prep enough for the initial output.

Think I'll wait for Asus Strix or similar card. The reference cards are apparently very loud once the fan cranks up, which has been the norm for these cards forever. My Strix 970 is probably the quietest thing on my PC.
I have 2 Strix 970s now. Sooooo quiet, I love it. Looking forward to getting a Strix 1070.

Maybe you would have liked to be on the Occulus Rife pre-order list instead?

probably same way that normal orders sell out.. are you familiar with that or is it also another mystery to you?
so many geniuses around here, its like "wow"

It is well known that I cannot err--and so, if you should happen across an error in anything I have written you can be absolutely sure that *I* did not write it!...;)
Hoping EVGA releases their not-limited-edition ones before June 7th. That's when my step-up period from my GTX 980 Ti ends, ha.

yeh i'll be waiting for the 2080 or whatever
My AMD 285 is pretty good for most games at 1080p, but I want to upgrade to a good 2k 144Hz monitor. Hoping a 1070 fits the bill. Like y'all I'm in no hurry, waiting for some good 3rd party boards and the masses to sort out if there's any chicanery like with the 970s.

I definitely want one to replace my two GTX 970s but I want an EVGA Classified card. Waiting for those before I put in an order.
I love Fortnite..keeps thy little kids out of thy good games...
