Best Buy people waiting in line in New York City for the RTX 3080

(Look-alike accredit: Future)

Best Buy bequeath restock the Nvidia RTX 3080 GPU, among other Nvidia graphics cards today, Friday, Oct 1.

At that place are already lines for the RTX 3080 at the best Buy stores nationwide, according to our on-the-priming reporting, and we did an early survey in New York City: of the 75 people in line for the GPU, only two people aren't resellers. That's right, everyone else in pedigree at this Best Buy out is just waiting to resell the RTX 3080 on eBay or StockX for double the retail monetary value of $699.99.

Of the 75 mass in line for the RTX 3080, only two hoi polloi aren't resellers.

The two Best Buy customers who actually legitimately want to buy the hard-to-grease one's palms Nvidia RTX 3080 at MSRP – if they even get the sought-after GPU at this repoint – want it for different purposes.

One AI research student wants the graphics card for explore purposes at New York University, and the other customer wants it for gaming with her husband.

The problem, A we've seen with these Outflank Buy restock lines in the past, is that the RTX 3080-seeking student went from an alleged third spot in line the night before (Wednesday Nox) to the tenth (and will probably do far worse number time to give out the newspaper tickets for graphics cards happening Friday morning).

People constantly rush the line having "come back from the bathroom" or new excuses – again, just to resell the RTX 3080. We've also seen this scenario represent out during PS5 restock in-memory events at First Buy ultimate week.

The Best Buy out will undergo the RTX 3080 available in select stores throughout the USA today, October 1. Paper tickets will be handed out at 7:30am standard time.

Don't think that showing upwardly at the posted 7:30am time will get you a GPU, however. As we've witnessed in the past, this can happen American Samoa shortly as 7am since people are in line right now – and have been since Wednesday morning at some Best Buy computer storage locations.

Best Buy's in-store restock locator for GPUs is much better than the one used past GameStop for its PS5 restock, however, we've quieten laid out the store list below.

Best Buy in RTX 3080 GPU restock store locations list

Because not all Best Buy will have the RTX 3080 in stock for this in-store outcome, do not show up at your local Best Buy before checking this list.

Editor's Promissory note: We included the salt away locations that had last week's Best Buy PS5 in-store restock and crossed them off to march how some stores will have the RTX 3080 in timeworn. The PS5 was much widely available, according to our research. In fact, two states, Magnolia State and Washington D.C. as healthy as Puerto Rico won't perplex a GPU restock whatsoever today despite having the PS5 before.

A total of 117 Best Buy store locations will have the RTX 3080 today:

Will IT be just the RTX 3080?

No, the RTX 3080 Ti, RTX 3070 and RTX 3090 should also be available at the most stores, simply everyone we've talked to so far is wait in line for the coveted RTX 3080.

And of the deuce people World Health Organization we interviewed who loved the RTX 3080 for legitimate purposes (AI research and gambling), single person, the NYU researcher, said that he'll get another artwork card if he has to, but resell it because he's really after the 3080.

Considering he went from third in line to one-tenth and will credibly slip further, that means the individual WHO sought-after a GPU for gaming may exist the just person World Health Organization in reality purchases an RTX and keeps information technology from this 75-solid line at Best Buy in New York City today.

Best Buy restock line is 'axenic topsy-turvyness' all prison term

Thwarted online customers, unable to buy the RTX 3080, think a Best Buy in-store restock is keen news when the retail merchant's website is constantly enclosed by resellers who use bots to take up the RTX stock-take earlier everyone else. This happened on Wednesday, September 29, the go out of the fashionable Best Buy RTX restock online.

The Grass is nary greener. IT's pure chaos each time in dependable cities, as we've tweeted roughly before:

Best Buy lines in New York City — (Image credit: Twitter / Matt Swider)

In New House of York Metropolis, the unvaried resellers show, plant themselves first in line and buy all of the inventory. How fast did these GPUs resell? Before the purchase was even made. They're always pre-sold on StockX or eBay and no one gets the GPU they lack for gaming or AI research.

During the finis RTX 3080 restock, through our on-the-ground reporting, we identified the first somebody in line who actually wanted the desirable RTX 3080 (the most popular graphics card connected sale at the best Buy that day) for gaming purposes. They for No. 20 in line and actually had a find to buy it – or so IT seemed.

Moments ahead the first paper tickets were being handed unsuccessful past High-grade Buy managers, that No. 20 client in line became No. 40 in telephone line owed to last-second line jumpers – "friends" of the citizenry waiting it out in the front of the line, all of whom claimed to have always been at that place. IT turned into a chaotic scene that was not only unfair (an 11-year-old cried) but convoluted a spate of pushing, shoving and shouting.

The profit margins on the PS5 and Xbox Series X are big, but not every bit dramatic as Nvidia GPUs. So we'll have to see how this Best Buy in-store restock goes when it comes to ensuring everyone gets their console of choice fairly and safely.
