On Friday, most of Nvidia’s add-in board partners made announcements of their customized Geforce GTX 1080 graphics cards and the Geforce GTX 1080 Founders Edition, a new name for Nvidia’s new “reference card” with reference clockspeeds, only this time with an upgraded vapor chamber cooling unit.

As some prospective buyers quickly realized, however, retail availability is few and far in between at this point, and supply is not expected to pick up for at least another two and a half weeks.

To assess Geforce GTX 1080 supplies on hand, we contacted several local retailers in Southern California, including two Fry’s Electronics locations that are just a stone’s throw from Gigabyte, MSI and EVGA’s headquarters in the US. These particular stores tend to receive units directly from the manufacturers and often within a few days of placing orders.
