NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 3080's launch was without a doubt a disappointment for a large audience who were planning to upgrade their graphics cards. NVIDIA and several retail outlets did apologize for all the issues that occurred on launch day with almost all them blaming it on the unprecedented demand for the next-gen graphics card. Now ZOTAC (via Videocardz) has revealed just the extent of demand that the witnessed during the launch day.

According to a tweet that has now been removed, ZOTAC reveals that the company received almost 20,000 orders for a single SKU at one of the largest retail outlets, aka Amazon. ZOTAC listed its RTX 3080 Trinity model over at Amazon UK and as soon as the sales embargo went up, the model saw orders that reached almost 20,000. To be clear, that's just one SKU in the ZOTAC lineup as there are going to be more models coming in the future. With that said, other models from different partners were also listed at Amazon EU but we don't know if they also received similar orders.
