Stock sold out extremely fast and Newegg claims they received more traffic on the launch morning of the RTX 3080 than on Black Friday! Limited inventory was sold out in five minutes and Newegg assure that bot protection was in place to only humans (and not price scalpers) could place orders.
Many experienced issues checking out due to the volume of traffic on our site. It would have sold out faster. Auto Notify isn't a guarantee, but we recommend it as well as checking the site.
