Hey all, first time (hopeful) buyer of a newly launched graphics card here from Canada, I've never tried buying anything at launch and I had a few questions that hopefully the more seasoned purchasers among you can help answer. I know nobody short of Nvidia knows for sure, I just want educated guesses!
 
1. Does a preorder still seem likely or would it just go live for purchases on Sept 17? Also, what time during the day do they usually go live?
2. How long would I have after preorders/orders open to nab one? Seconds/Minutes? 
3. Since I'm in Canada, do I just order from the website like you would in the US? I keep getting redirected to the US site even after selecting Canada in the region, so I'm assuming this is the case.
4. Any tips or tricks for the launch?
 
Thanks in advance for your answers/guidance!

Watching youtube videos is probably the easiest way to learn. For beginner builds check out Pauls Hardware, and obviously LTT does some as well.
 
Do you want a monitor included within your budget?
 
I would suggest a build with something like a Ryzen 3 3300X and a 1650 super/ RX580. Its not particularly high end but should be within budget and match your needs

Yo. I'm from Pakistan. Yeah not many people used tinder here anyway and most of the tinder stuff was filled with cat-fishes but like was used quite a bit amongst the university/college /middleclass crowd. Wasn't that bad honestly. Think the country just is taking pointers from china and they intend on passing a bill that basically allows them to check user social media as well  pakistani internet is going fairly downhill in terms of censorship atm. Interesting to find a thread about Pakistan in the linus tech tips forums . Hella cool. I imagine sites like facebook will b like no we no give u access. and pakistan will b like 😧 we ban.  A lot of people aren't really that backwards and there's a fairly large section of society that lives life ... pretty normally as if they're part of the 21st century, incredibly open minded. ... However our law and majority seems to remain fairly draconian in nature TT
 
Yeah majority of smartphones are androids. I think they directly ban the servers or something. I remember that was the case with PUBG. It actually slows down our internet infrastructure quite a bit but apparently slowing down the entirety of the internet infrastructure is not as important as banning websites and being ranked highly on porn-usage per country statistics :')

With apps like Tinder how useful it is all comes down to how many singles are in your area using it. If they ban the app from the app store then sure, maybe 10% install from apk, but what would be the point of using it if it lost 90% of its user base overnight? Plus it could be banned on Tinder side, as the app relies on tracking use location for finding nearby matches. Or just ISP filtered requiring use of a VPN to access it which will have the same problem where some people might use a VPN to access it but most won't bother.

Sell now. With the 3070 beating the 2080 ti, i would say 700 now, 400-600 after the 3070 is in consumer hands.
 
As for you being a recent 2080 ti buyer,
 
F

and that is a problem because...? if the people involved are consenting adults then there is nothing wrong with it. we aren't living in the middle ages anymore, people have relationships and intimacy before marriage. 
 
in fact, i don't even plan to get married. why should i lol.
