I had clicked "Notify Me" button on Nvidia website in September and October multiple times, then started emailing RPTech by mid November and finally calling them them around mid December. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rey Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 I had clicked "Notify Me" button on Nvidia website in September and October multiple times, then started emailing RPTech by mid November and finally calling them them around mid December.Thanks. On their website it says in stock, but still they ask to send enquiry by filling a form. I guess they have a wait list or something now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I believe that there are not adhering to it. I have seen people who contacted them in November and December get their cards. Try calling them on the phone and explain your situation and wait time. That is the only thing that worked for me. All emails had the same copy paste response. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had emailed them for 3080 a while back and got a reply yesterday. It's currently not available and will be back in stock in "3 weeks". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when the card is in stock, you get the priority. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when the card is in stock, you get the priority. [emoji4]Unfortunately transparency is very poor with them. Some people have been waiting for months have not got it, some people got it in days. There are also reports with proof on Reddit about rptech employees selling the cards to distributors like prime under the table who in turn further sell it for a premium. It’s all very shady to be honest. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jak3072 Posted January 11, 2021 Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 Sorry but I'm kinda a noob on this area. What's a NAS & what's it uses? Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Its like mass storage connected to network. I didn't know about it either, came across them when researching plex. People with a massive library of movies/tv shows/any media content store them in NAS and access from a plex client app. That's one use, might have other uses I'm not aware of.

Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk It varies but for me NAS acts as a media hub which can be accessed from anywhere over the internet 24x7. So instead of sharing media content over hard drive/pen drive, you can just remotely access your stuff for streaming. It also sorts and categorises the content in a cool interface which can be understood by tech noobs as well.

So do you need a separate pc for it or just connect HD to the router.? Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
