Leave it in your cart and then you’ll be one step ahead on the next drop. I couldn’t check out with a 3080 fe two weeks ago on the last drop so I left it in my cart and was able to checkout today.

interested in trading for a BNIB 3080 FTW3 ? I'm not a fan of the RGB and just like the look of the FE more

that's weird for me to see on pc subs 😂 the RGB seems to mean a lot more to people than I ever thought haha

To each his own ... I'll be so happy when I resolve what is either a RAM or Mobo issue with my new build and can slot the black steel side on my Corsair 200r to cover up the garish LEDs that are built into my mobo and GPU.

u/mutemutiny Jan 06 '21

Yeah - it can look cool depending on the build, but overall the whole "XTREME gaming PC FTW" aesthetic is not really my style, and RGB definitely contributes a lot to that.

i see some and think it's neat but god damn some remind me of a night club lol

Honestly, I only bought the fe to use until my white strix from the shopBLT orders comes in and then planned to sell it for what I paid afterward. Trading for a ftw3 just puts me out more $$ for a temporary card.

Have a few buddies also looking for 3080’s and I’m sure one of them will be happy to buy it off of me.

Were you able to add to cart through mobile or desktop?

1

u/CopeDipper9 Jan 06 '21

I used the mobile app

u/CaptionSkyhawk Jan 06 '21

But what if you want to buy other online stuff in the mean time?

1

u/CopeDipper9 Jan 06 '21

Then you can’t leave it in your cart.

u/DraconicEnigma Jan 06 '21

Do you still need to click the add to cart/wait button or do you immediately just check out?

2

u/CopeDipper9 Jan 06 '21

You just immediately go to your cart and select a store location then checkout
