You are basically paying for someone else to secure a purchase from an actual retailer for you.How are they pre-ordering cards on ebay? Like paying a price for a promised future delivery?
ALL ORDER WILL SHIP WITHIN 5-8 BUSINESS DAYS FROM BEST BUY RELEASE DATE Sept 17th

How is that legal? Is there a guarantee that this person on ebay will absolutely get one? Must be a retailer expecting stock.You are basically paying for someone else to secure a purchase from an actual retailer for you.

People do it all the time with new launches now. Most sellers I've seen promise a full refund if they can't secure a card for you, but it can get messy with when the seller is actually able to secure the card and what the language they used in the listing for expected delivery dates and such. In these situations, if on launch day you can go to an actual store and buy a card, you can usually list the card for an even higher price than the pre-order sellers because you have the card in hand. It really got crazy during the mining boom but has continued at and around launch as well due to demand at launch greatly overwhelming available supply.How is that legal?

If they promise a refund if they can't secure a card for you, it's zero downside for them. Either they nab one and sell it to you for a quick $400, or they don't and oh well.People do it all the time with new launches now.

Yeah, the risk is really on the buyer here, not the seller although the seller is out the listing fee I believe. I don't know, haven't used Ebay as a seller in a long time.If they promise a refund if they can't secure a card for you, it's zero downside for them.

You'd have to be nuts as a buyer to agree to that, especially from some rando 7 feedback account.
I don't think so (I haven't found one). Ryan Smith said he was going to post his deep dive several days ago but the Oregon fires (coupled with testing for the 3080 review) might be setting him back. Hopefully his deep drive will be included in the 3080 review on Wednesday.Has Nvidia put out an architecture paper for Gaming Ampere yet? I couldn't find anything in a search (except a couple of lame 'deep dives' by gaming sites).
Does Ryan live in Oregon ?? If so, where ?I don't think so (I haven't found one).

What about that script that people were using to nab Nintendo Switches as soon as they came in stock? Couldn't they just set that up to guarantee however many units they needed of each type?How is that legal? Is there a guarantee that this person on ebay will absolutely get one? Must be a retailer expecting stock.
Does Ryan live in Oregon ?? If so, where ?
He is within minutes of where I live ! The smoke at my house is the same as he has, and is he is in any way affected by the Santiam fire, then he is VERY close to where I live (suburb of Portland)
I saw that Ryan posted this on Twitter the other day.
Well, then I hope you are safe from the fires as well!He is within minutes of where I live !
I am not in zone 1,2 or 3, my brother is in zone 3, but went back home as things calmed down. Supposed to rain soon, and thats supposed to help a lot.Well, then I hope you are safe from the fires as well!
Thanks, was waiting on Ryan as well.I don't think so (I haven't found one).

Can you tell me why in brief please.^^^^
Adored being Adored. We've gone over why nVidia used SS8.
They wanted to use SS7 EUV, but yields weren't good enough. Presumably they just took the SS8 design that is being used for GA107/GA108 and scaled it up, rather than say porting it to TSMC which would mean next year.Can you tell me why in brief please.

More so than that, they wanted better pricing from TSMC, so started going with Samsung to try and get TSMC to keep nVidia's business at a lower cost to nVidia. TSMC said "nope". Which left nVidia stuck with Samsung. They did manage to get enough 7nm capacity (at full price) for A100. But the consumer cards all ended up on Samsung. But I don't think they ever intended to use 7EUV, as I don't think its compatible with 8nm process they ended up with (Which is a modified 10nm process).They wanted to use SS7 EUV, but yields weren't good enough.
