There is always an overwhelming sense of frustration because when you don’t get what you want or things don’t go as planned, and for brands like NVIDIA, that feeling became very apparent during the launch of their GeForce RTX 3080, both for the brand and its customers. customers.

As the shares of its RTX 3080 were bought by “malicious bots and resellers,” the GPU maker issued an apology for the oversight and mismanaged launch of its new card. The company explains that due to high demand for the card, it saw a ten-fold increase in its traffic for the RTX 3080.

Due to this increase in online traffic, NVIDIA inevitably encountered technical problems when trying to process orders. So, it did the only thing it could do: hit the pause button in its notification mail, which then made the brand unable to deliver the bulk orders of RTX 3080 cards to its buyers on time.

To that end, NVIDIA has said it is in the process of stocking new cards and working to distribute them to its more than “100 million GeForce gamers” worldwide.

For those unaware of the situation, most of NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 3080 cards were snagged during the surge in traffic by unscrupulous resellers and resellers. These same individuals proceeded to resell them online, but at prices much higher than what the card is worth.

As an example, a supposedly UAE-based reseller had purchased all of Zotac’s GeForce RTX 3080 Trinity graphics and then proceeded to sell each card at an outrageous price of US $ 50,000 (~ RM 206,900).
