MSI GAMING GTX 980 in stock at newegg!

Plenty of cards in stock around the world. And they come in at large batches if out of stock within a few days. In other words, they are under transport.

In North America, most of the national distributor's stock is currently depleted. Like you said, I'm sure they are waiting on a large shipment, but nothing as of yet.

I wonder if this "inventory shortage" was planned as it gives the etailers time to get decent prices on older GTX 780/780 Ti stock.

At this point, I'd have no problem recommending a newly cheapened 780/780 Ti to most people.

nope, nvidia has said that, while they made a ton of chips expecting high demand, they didn't expect this high of a demand and are currently pumping chips out as fast as they can.
 
Show me the numbers if you have them. It appears that there are hardly any.

When I ordered my 980 last night, newegg indicated over 25 in stock. I don't know how far over 25, but over 25 for a premium model's first batch is not "hardly any" IMO.

Amazon has been out of since they were released. I don't know if Amazon had a small inventory, but I have been looking at Amazon numerous times a day and can't get my hands on a GTX 970. Frustrating.

I'm afraid stock on the GTX 970 in the channel isn't much better...

My educated guess based on data I've seen is that Amazon hasn't shipped a single card since the first day Maxwell arrived. That's telling. Nvidia isn't providing these GPUs to the single biggest reseller in the U.S.

This was a strategic release, so to speak. It absolutely decimated sales of the R9 290/290X.
 
You should just search around.

30 Zotac GTX980.

100+ MSI GTX980.

And out of stock cards listed as incoming 8th, 10th and 15th october.

Just a simple example. And they are selling very fast.


This doesn't demonstrate high numbers, nor selling well. 100+ cards means nothing.

Interesting. Newegg had peanuts too at launch.

I can see the demand being high, especially with a lot of people buying 2x970's. Anecdotally, I've seen a lot of stories of people getting their first SLI setup. It has been a long time since the 680, which was the last reasonably priced high end card. People are soaking these up.
 
I just purchased this exact card...will be upgrading from a GTX 670SC 4GB. Hoping to see some nice improvements 🙂.

Amazon has had stock since launch, it's just that they are filling back orders first and by the time they do, there are none left to put on the website.
