They went through all this trouble making a fake queue and then we get randomly dropped in line anywhere for being early?

I was in the site, well before anyone bothered queueing, but when the timer was up, I didn't see any way to claim the key. So now I'm in the queue again. I think the ideal is probably something like ten mins before it starts. Then you're in the queue, but it won't let you in until after it starts.

I was there half hour before and refreshed when legolas mentioned it...no issues here 🤷‍♂️

Just got my key, claiming waa the hard part.

EDIT:

Actually I take that back, I remember opening the page and it said 2 hours at first...I was there way earlier than that.

I also bought my ex a laptop under my lenovo legion account so i likely get priority as a validated customer.

When I was in queue for my 3090 24GB GPU during the insane covid market, I sat there for 6 months with no word, I bought an EVGA Keyboard and a T-Shirt while waiting and my GPU purchase email came the very next morning :LOL:

They were basically like not a scalper bot, your next.

That doesnt even look like a new GPU, it looks more like an old mobo cut into shape with a backplate portion and an old intel fan on it :ROFLMAO:

It has an old VGA port on it lmao.

I had to put my GPU on layaway basically (it was 2 fucking grand), then I got my last covid check and paid it all off at once...on my birthday, and didnt even have money to buy myself a game :LOL:

Obviously but technical specs here weren't going to do much for most people reading, bottom line is none of the major brands had those type of ports on them, mine certainly doesn't.

OEM style ITX sized.

Mine is as big as they got for that gen my friend, that has to be oem, which would also ask the question where did the original case go lol.

Instead of cutting up the case, you could just mount it on its side, or get a low profile card.

I have mine vertically mounted and it could have fit, but they just weigh so much it was more risky to do that than mount it the other way...plus it looks better.

If you can afford the card you damn well should have put a $50 case on credit or something if you had to...thats for meme sake and nothing more.

On top of my card I paid for commando shipping with a ten yr. warranty...when I couldn't even afford the card itself.

This place unfortunately destroyed the card and invalidated the warranty...it was the biggest waste of money I've ever spent in my life. Right along with the monitor I bought after it--that I finished paying off my first few months here.

I used to use that SFF style of case. I just put low profile GPUs in them. The great thing about LP is that they hold their value. I sold mine for a profit years later. I then moved to ITX, mostly so I could have a more powerful GPU, while keeping the same SFF footprint. The case is RVZ02, and both the case and PSU, and pretty much everything ITX, cost way too much, but I got them anyway.

I had a 2ft x 2ft beast of a case since I built my rig (mostly for extra HDDs) before it even had a GPU...so in order to go small after the fact would have actually cost me more in headaches, decisions, and money.

My rig was built for programming, gaming just naturally happened because it was a monster with just the intel chip.

I outdid most gaming rigs just to program :LOL:
