| 00:00 - 00:05 | So we just finished our best cards yet |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | Killer performance, competitive price |
| 00:07 - 00:10 | Everyone is hyped, AMD is toast |
| 00:11 - 00:16 | Customers are ready to mash F5 on launch day and throw their money at us |
| 00:17 - 00:21 | We forgot to start up the production line |
| 00:21 - 00:24 | It's true |
| 00:29 - 00:31 | It's true |
| 00:31 - 00:34 | We only had 10 demo cards in the back room |
| 00:38 - 00:40 | It's true |
| 00:41 - 00:47 | And the scalpers bought those up in a second |
| 00:47 - 00:50 | No one was able to buy anything |
| 00:50 - 00:56 | They already sold their 2080 TIs |
| 00:58 - 00:59 | Now they can't play anything |
| 00:59 - 01:01 | They're fucked |
| 01:04 - 01:06 | The only cards are on eBay |
| 01:06 - 01:08 | $1900 for a $700 card |
| 01:13 - 01:14 | It's true |
| 01:14 - 01:16 | We get a few cards out to retailers |
| 01:16 - 01:20 | BB and Newegg crash whenever we drop |
| 01:21 - 01:27 | We stopped selling on our own website because we couldn't handle it |
| 01:35 - 01:36 | The best cards yet |
| 01:36 - 01:39 | And no one can buy them |
| 01:41 - 01:44 | No but seriously |
| 01:44 - 01:47 | Production is ramping up |
| 01:47 - 01:49 | There are new drops every few days |
| 01:50 - 01:53 | You can sign up for a stock alert |
| 01:54 - 01:56 | Your phone buzzes at 2 AM |
| 01:56 - 01:58 | You jump out of bed |
| 01:58 - 02:02 | Maybe it's that 3080 Strix you've been waiting for |
| 02:05 - 02:07 | It's not |
| 02:10 - 02:11 | It's a... |
| 02:11 - 02:13 | It's a... |
| 02:15 - 02:17 | It's a ZOTAC 3090 on Amazon |
| 02:17 - 02:20 | for $2100 |
| 02:21 - 02:28 | And even that's gone in 10 seconds |
| 02:29 - 02:30 | And the 3080 Strix? |
| 02:30 - 02:32 | No one's ever seen one |
| 02:36 - 02:39 | We never even delivered the reference board to ASUS |
| 02:40 - 02:42 | It's hopeless |
| 02:50 - 02:55 | We're telling people 2021 before they get anything |
| 02:56 - 02:58 | So were you able to get a card? |
| 02:58 - 03:04 | I was waiting for the 3070, I still game at 1080p |
| 03:04 - 03:09 | I don't make enough to spend that much on a GPU |
| 03:09 - 03:11 | Especially when we fuck up this bad |
| 03:16 - 03:20 | And then AMD had their press conference |
| 03:23 - 03:26 | Better performance if you don't care about DLSS |
| 03:31 - 03:36 | I'll get my hands on one of those months before our own cards |
