How in the he'll did you find that link, props man. I will hold off opening my evga 2070 super to see if this works.

They've been floating around reddit. It's the reason Amazon's cards never showed up in stock. Everyone grabbed them off links like that.

Grabbed one. Thanks! Can always cancel if I get an EVGA from EVGA.

This is my plan. Zotac is not my preferred AIB, but it's better than nothing. If the Evga ships first from adorama, I'll cancel this.

If I somehow end up with an extra card I'll toss it in FS for actual cost.

Nope. "Sold By: Amazon.com Services LLC"

Don't try to buy it off the product page. Use the link.
oh... well crap... that hurts a bit.

It says "Order now and we'll notify you by email when we have an estimated delivery date for this item."

Not sure I trust that I'd get that anytime soon. I think the 12.5" is a little long for my case anyway. Thanks though.

I have 5mm to spare in my case per specs. LOL

Just a bit of info to anyone ordering Zotac from a different country, you will NOT be covered by their warranty.

Asses already scalping their recent preorder from Amazon of the Zotac 3080 on Amazon.

Don't forget to register your card with Zotac within 30 days of purchase so they extend your warranty a year to a total of 3 years.

FYI, their RMA process is painless and quick.

Thanks, but no, thanks. I'm not too fond of their products, as their QA and build quality leaves a lot, and I mean A LOT to be desired.

This thing is hideous, and those fans look like they can't wait to rattle:

Vaguely reminds me of those addons evga were putting on one of their 2080ti cards.

GN claims that one system integrator sold 900 entire systems with 3080's in 10 minutes. If that kinda stuff is true then clearly the hype and demand were off the charts and this is the expected outcome.

I was able to snag a 3080 xc3 ultra directly from EVGA. Took an hour, multiple tabs timing out, and some luck. Opted for next day air so it'll be here tomorrow.

Have you received yours yet? Same exact scenario here including the shipping - but my card arrived at Louisville at 1am last night and stopped moving. They've now updated it to Monday for the estimate with no delay reason given. So much for next day air...

If you feel like being the bad guy to a poor soul over the phone, you can raise hell over next-day air not being timely. Considering what it often costs, I'm willing to complain about it. As long as you're clear that you only want to be refunded for the cost of the shipping, I've never run into any retailer that wouldn't do it.

Mine is on the UPS truck right now! Sucks about yours though :(
