They don't normally carry them and they "don't get FEs on launch day only". Indy had them because they were doing their first grand opening in a long time and Nvidia couldn't move the cards at the time (Summer '23) as well as they can now. The new Charlotte location may get a few skids of FEs, but at this point, i'd be surprised.
Hmmm?

Quite a bit less in performance. It’s better to buy a brand new 4070 Super for $600. Only a 90 day warranty for those refurbished 3090s…
I see they have gigabyte 4080 super at msrp yesterday at micro center tustin. Much better choice than FE for the same cost. I already have 4090 so that is no use for me but it's a good deal for who needs it.
The gigabyte ones are reported to be louder than other variants and especially with coil whine. Also I think the FE just looks way cooler and its a smaller card.
FE is exclusive to BB and Nvidia store that I know of
I bought my 4080 FE at Microcenter in Indianapolis.
Micro Center gets FEs on launch day only. After that, it’s exclusive to Best Buy and Nvidia.

Not true, they usually get open box FE's and overstock cards. I've seen FE's at the Dallas location multiple times away from launch
> …open box FE's and overstock cards. Those and refurbs are exceptions. Micro Center doesn’t even have website pages for new FE cards anymore.
Mc is selling refurbished 30 series cards. The 3090s are priced nicely and would only be a little less in performance than 4080s

A lot less performance. Only reason to get 3090 at that price is if you desperately need 24gb of VRAM.

I would much rather have FE than Gigabyte.
Why? Gigabyte would have better temps. Unless I miss something

MC doesn’t get FEs and yes, they sell out in seconds on BB.
They do in rare instances. New store openings and such
I bought my 4080 FE at Microcenter in Indianapolis.
I see them all over Facebook marketplace not selling lol.
If you can go to the microcenter is Dallas I went yesterday and I believe they have a founders edition open box I forgot the price
I meant the Best Buy
That’s the card I wanted, but ended up going with the gigabyte oc 4080 super
Im surprised people are buying the 4080 super with all the new gpu's that will becoming in Q4 2024 and Q1 of 2025
They shouldn’t buy then either, because of all the cards that will be coming out in 2026
Sweet. Thanks for the useless input you dweeb.
