[Michael Bers]

Don't you always have to pay it? Isn't it guaranteed?

I'm also really hoping to get any card for under 500€. I had r9 390 previously (msrp 329$) so that's already much more expensive.

[Junction Runner]

Out of stock.


God I should have just fucking bought it when I had the chance. God knows I could use a better gaming experience to escape from life right now.

There were 270 left to sell after they sold 30 during the WANshow.

[Musty]

Oops. Had to run downstairs and serve dinner. Didn't make the AFK counter.

 

That is me out, good luck folks! 

[iceman358]

According to the previous WAN show this drop is for 270 cards.

 

And it was the most difficult quiz so far. For some questions had to brute force and try them again.

 

Aaaand it is done (was 270ish in the queue).

[Tieox]

Now they're out of stock, the salt shall be incoming. 

[OCNewbee]

wow, I got to 2065,,,and its done...

[croaker]

I was slow onto it, managed to get in the Queue, and chose to  revoke as i'm after RTX:

[iceman358]

In the past, I've sometimes been lucky enough that a parcel didn't get "noticed" at customs (at least, when I was in France, I rarely bought out of EU since I live in Ireland, so it's gonna be a first I think) Hopefully Brexit attracts more attention from customs haha.

[OCNewbee]

sux that Asus doesnt sell to Linus like this in thousands. 

[Tieox]

They cannot and do not check every single container, I've had many imports not checked.  Does suck when you get stung though.

Idk about for you guys but the gamer quiz was actually pretty tough for me. Several questions were about game franchises I've never played and had to google them or watch videos to find out the answers. I got to the last question with 1 life left and already 2 questions skipped, literally on the brink of death, and it was a fortnite question lmfao. Never in my f**king life have I played fortnite. Twitch to the rescue, jumped in a fortnite channel and the dude helped me with the answer. I guess that also counts as a gamer way to get the answer. So I was among the first 500 to watch the video but it took so long to finish the quiz due to having to do research that there were already 2000 people in queue.

 

 

I think the program is awesome and the concept works really well. If I could make a suggestion, there are some gamers like myself who have much more experience playing RTS or turn-based games and not so much FPS and battle royale games. And there will also be gamers who play FPS almost exclusively, and so on. So maybe you could include a first question that is something like "which kind of game are you most familiar with? FPS RTS RPG MOBA/BattleRoyale" and then have questions tailored to those types of games? Open to suggestions / comments.

I lived in France for a while and had the same once or twice xD. But yeah, never had it in the UK. 

[SignatureSigner]

seems valid to me  not everyone plays the same games!

[Khali]

Wow, i got one, even though I was thinking it's impossible with my luck:p restarted quiz like 5 times, trying to remember what I didn't knew. I was hoping for rtx 3700, but that's also nice. My 1070 doesn't go well with 5600x in newer titles. 6800xt here in poland is twice more expensive, even with shipping and vat, but I will sell my 1070 for the same price i bought it 3 years ago:P

My bad, I was kind of unclear. Typing in a hurry. 

 

I was more wondering whether the actual number position in the queue included people who had cards.

 

So for example, whether positions 1 through 270 in this case were people that had cards reserved/offered. 

 

I realise that isn't the normal way to do it, just checking on the off chance I was remotely close . 

 

Thanks!

Thats hard to say. I haven't been in queue so I don't know if you position moves during it. Which would indicate that those with confirmed purchases are out of the list.

Unlikely. Nvidia is not among the announced partners. But AMD was for CPUs, so there's slight chance of reference AMD GPUs. But could also be that AMD is serving them only through other channels.

This drop was for 270 (30 were dropped during last WAN Show). There's still unannounced amount of EVGA Nvidia cards, most likely 500-2000.

[Neromorph]

Should be called verified actual googler not gamer

 

Finally got a chance to see the questions/do the quiz but took a pass once completed as none of the cards so far will fit in my mITX case due to size restrictions.

Too bad the verification wasn't actually playing some sort of games. Completed this level from <enter game here> maybe even mutli-stages where they become more challenging, run the gauntlet to win

I understand it just to avoid bots but I highly doubt most gamers would know a 1/3 of the quiz questions if they were to do it without searching. 

 

"A" for effort, "-C" on execution

Isnt there going to be a EVGA gpu drop with 3060 cards?

[Cheemonstonzo]

Ugh.  Was busy reading this thread and I missed a 3070 Tuf drop from MemEx.  Feelsbadman
