What Time Should I get to Microcenter to Campout for 3090

Yoshi Moshi

Depends entirely on the location. Downtown Chicago? Get there at 9pm the night before, and bring a space heater and a tent. Marietta, Georgia? Show up at 9:30 am. Also, it's completely unknown what stores will have cards (and in what quantity) at launch. If today's 3080 release is anything to go by, it's going to be pretty sporadic. 

Main PC:

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X • Noctua NH-D15 • MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk • 2x8GB G.skill Trident Z Neo 3600MHz CL16 • MSI VENTUS 3X GeForce RTX 3070 OC • Samsung 970 Evo 1TB • Samsung 860 Evo 1TB • Cosair iCUE 465X RGB • Corsair RMx 750W (White)

 

Peripherals/Other:

ASUS VG27AQ • G PRO K/DA • G502 Hero K/DA • G733 K/DA • G840 K/DA • Oculus Quest 2 • Nintendo Switch (Rev. 2)

 

Laptop (Dell XPS 13):

Intel Core i7-1195G7 • Intel Iris Xe Graphics • 16GB LPDDR4x 4267MHz • 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD • 13.4" OLED 3.5K InfinityEdge Display (3456x2160, 400nit, touch). 

 

Got any questions about my system or peripherals? Feel free to tag me (@bellabichon) and I'll be happy to give you my two cents. 

 

PSA: Posting a PCPartPicker list with no explanation isn't helpful for first-time builders :)

For big launches the items are commonly reserved either as you walk in the door or even in line in front of the store. If anything you're less likely to get one doing that.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Camp out now and maybe by Christmas 2021🤣

                          Ryzen 5800X3D(Because who doesn't like a phat stack of cache?) GPU - 7700Xt

                                                           X470 Strix f gaming, 32GB Corsair vengeance, WD Blue 500GB NVME-WD Blue2TB HDD, 700watts EVGA Br

 ~Extra L3 cache is exciting, every time you load up a new game or program you never know what your going to get, will it perform like a 5700x or are we beating the 14900k today? 😅~

your lucky if that goes through, that is one of the few ones that there's already a WB for! I'm afraid if I don't get one on launch, it will be next year (literally) before inventory stabilizes and I'll be to get one without camping out. People are more less treating this as the second coming of christ and camping out hours and hours in advance.

Guy at my work went 2 hours prior to opening (in Missouri) and said there were literal people camping.  MC issued vouchers to ensure the line wasn't skipped and ran out of stock way before he made his way into the doors.

 

He waited around for someones card to get declined, that didn't happen either

 

At least the night before I would assume
