Dit artikel gaat mogelijk over fake news. Op videocardz beweert een gebruiker dat hij op het beruchte Duitse discord channel zit. Hij draagt in ieder geval een paar steekhoudende bewijzen aan. Hierbij zijn reactie geciteerd:
@VIDEOCARDZ - Please check your sources better next time! The PCGH author Sven is known for writing misleading articles. I am on the mentioned Scalper Discord and experienced both drops.
The cards were not sold before 15:00. The screenshot is a troll post and doesn't make sense; the card article number is incorrect and there was no bundle, the card is sold and the only position on the order is the card, shipping and payment method. The orders were made after the launch date, but it's correct that it wasn't possible to order through the Nvidia webshop due to a configuration error. You could only redirect to the Proshop by communicating directly with the API. No 5090FE was sold yesterday! To check this, just read his article; he mentions the correct article numbers, then shows the fake 14:27 screenshot and a 5080 URL with the 5090 article number - by the way, this URL doesn't make sense and never existed.
For today's drop, Nvidia had already fixed the webshop and implemented Cloudflare Turnstile, and changed the article SKUs. No bot worked today, and everyone who was on the Nvidia Marketplace at the right time could order normally (green button, checkout on proshop...). Both the 5080FE and 5090FE were sold to today.
In my opinion, you should correct the article, as it is factually incorrect and can easily be checked. There was no wrongdoing on the Proshop's site; Nvidia messed up their webshop configuration.
Sven doesn't even grasp what he's writing; it doesn't make any sense for someone familiar with botting or scripting.
