Damn.
300 more years and you'll be there!
That should be in time for the next 3080 drop lol
That still might be quicker than waiting for a GPU!
there will have definitely been some slight movement on the pre order queue in 300 years as well.

It was leaked to Discord with in minutes and now they are looking at a different way to do it ..for next time
Last I heard there was one going to be end of last week or start of this week, so obviously some issues behind the scenes there..
I still don't know where I stand if they drop a 3080/6800xt/etc - are we allowed to get it if we got one of the 3060/6700xt drops before? Can we get the better cards and just sell the 'lower' cards on MM at the price we paid? I'm wondering if I got a lower-end card too quickly if better cards are to come..

It would be ideal if there was an official post stating who would be able to access the vouchers. I can imagine spending a week refreshing the forums to learn I wouldn't have been able to see the post either way

I believe it's been mentioned previously that it's one deal card in total not one per deal.

I don't think they promised anything and considering the deal was leaked Gibbo said there won't be any further public deals.
People moaned that lurkers and low post counts were not included. They were given a chance and they ruined it.
That would make sense because if not there would be way too many deals vs the number of people who can action them.
Well I have been often reading posts on these forums but I tend to usually not join discussions unless I have something to bring ...
Also I had to recreate an account as I could not find my old one ...

Generally, people that utilize their graphics card for entertainment to the fullest aren't going to be the ones with spare time to accrue a high post count. Unless the said card breaks
That's a bummer.. So if they drop a better card I have to quickly sell this card on MM before ordering.. Doesn't sound likely..
I'm grateful to get this card, but something better would also be nice..

Ofcourse, why would an enthusiast ever enter a discussion about their hobby? Madness!

I'm drawing a dichotomy between a computer parts enthusiast and a gamer here. One of the two certainly gets more mileage out of the product than the other.
I sometimes spend more time min-maxing the settings for a game for optimal fps/fidelity ratio than actually playing it, but that doesn't happen often.
