Backordered RTX 2080(non TI) pre-ordered within the first 30 minutes

This is why people say "don't preorder things".

Today I am more disappointed from NVIDIA than their weak release with no features of the RTX cards.
I have ordered the RTX 2080 in the 21st of August 4:29am Australian time (2:29 PM August 20th Washington time) Which was at most 30 minutes after the pre-order opened. Yesterday on the 20th of September 5:29am Australian time I got charged for the GPU in full (which should only happen when the order ships) and when I asked the support about the tracking number they told me that the GPU was "Backordered" and they don't have an ETA.

If NVIDIA doesn't have the GPUs for the first 30 minutes of orders how are they going to ship the rest of the orders? Or did they just backorder my GPU randomly? Or wasn't the GPUs available at release date? 

Either way NOBODY wants to pre-order to get their GPU whenever NVIDIA feels like sending them. They have set an approximated date of shipment to be the 20th and it was still on the 20th until they got "released". Now NVIDIA have got my money and I don't have an ETA for the product, in my country doing this would make the company pay a compensation of 0.5% of the product's price per day of delay.

I have written this topic for 2 reasons, 1- to see if anybody has the same problem as me. 2- to let everybody know about how unprofessional NVIDIA has become when it comes to everything but marketing.

I pre-ordered because I don't have a GPU in at the moment

There are always alternatives.

A newer generation doesn't render its predecessors as obsolete.

Wow, well, as we can clearly see here, people are preordering things even with a "weak release" and "no features".......

No wonder it is sold out.

People are buying without using their head first.

So then why did you expect to get a GPU immediately?

Do you know how preorders work?

1st point, I live in Australia where the difference between 1080 ti and 2080 in price is around 50 USD, and I don't mind paying that $50 for RTX which that may or may not work

2nd point, Not immediately but at release date ( bought every part of my pc in the past month) and I still wouldn't buy a 1080 ti if I cancel my pre-order. What I would do is buy a partner card on release date, which are available for 2 day shipping today.

Prices in Australia are not reasonable, 2080's price is only $50 more than 1080 ti that's why I wouldn't buy a 1080 ti

$50 difference doesn't render the 1080ti as useless..

Also, the 1080ti currently has a better frames/dollars, afaik

what extra do you get ? apart from disappointment

A chance that RTX may work for $50 which is kind of a gamble but I think it's worth taking

Thats why you don't pay for things that don't exist yet.

 

Why not just pick one up in the store on release day if you're that desperate to be the first one to have it?

I don't have a GPU I used to use a gaming laptop but it broke a month ago and I bought a PC with everything but a GPU that's why I am in a hurry for this one.

I wish I could buy a GPU from a store here however I don't know any store that doesn't add $200 to the price anywhere near me.

Typically there are no take-backs in the casino which is not the case for GPU purchase ;-)
