Where Can You Buy an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 on Launch Day? – PCMag
If you plan on buying Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 4080 graphics card, prepare to wake up early.
The product is scheduled to arrive on Wednesday, Nov. 16. And like previous GPU launches, the sales will probably start at 9 a.m. EST/ 6 a.m. PST.
We already got a taste of what to expect with last month’s launch of Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 4090, which sold out in minutes at retailers like Best Buy and Newegg despite its $1,599+ price tag.
Still, interested customers could have successfully bought an RTX 4090 on launch day if they acted fast. We were able to place orders within a 10-minute window when sales kicked off at 6 a.m. PST. So the same might be true for the RTX 4080, which has a starting price of $1,199.
Below is a list of online product listings for the RTX 4080 that’ll go live tomorrow. But for tips on how to acquire one as launch time approaches, we recommend you follow the GPU tracker Falcodrin on Twitter(Opens in a new window) or Discord(Opens in a new window). The group has been quick to post active links to buy Nvidia graphics cards once they become available. This included tweeting out a link that made it easier to acquire the Founders Edition RTX 4090 during last month’s launch.

For customers looking for the Founders Edition RTX 4080, it’ll be exclusively sold on Best Buy for $1,199, making it one of the most affordable models on the market. As a result, it’ll also be tough to nab, especially with scalpers ready to buy up the supplies.

Google has shared a new AI research project called MusicLM that uses AI to make music, and it’s the latest AI to make artists scared for their jobs.
You can’t use this tool publically like ChatGDP, but Google has shared a ton of samples attached to a research document. These range from small ten-second snippets to full-length five-minute songs.
This tool takes simple text inputs or a person humming and turns that into beautiful music. You can even use a sequence of text prompts to write a song that changes over time. After listening to a couple, the AI doesn’t recreate human music perfectly since it can’t do voices well, but the beats are always interesting and melodic, to say the least. I’d also expect Google to make this much better at human singing soon.
MusicLM really shines by recreating soft beats like melodic techno and relaxing jazz. There are five-minute samples of each genre near the top of the research paper’s sample zone, and they are worth a listen.
There’s no word when or how Google will release this fully, but as we extend further into the AI world, it seems like no creative pursuits are safe.

Specialized is shutting down the pioneering women’s apparel brand, Machine For Freedom. MFF, founded by Jenn Kriske in 2013, built a strong following for promoting a more inclusive vision of the women’s cycling community.
MFF was one of the first brands to seriously develop women’s riding clothing outside of the traditional, race-focused sizing of most apparel lines. In the years since, other brands have broadened their lines to match the example set by Machined For Freedom.
The boutique California-based apparel brand was bought by Specialized in 2018. Going into the fifth year of partnership, the global bike brand is now disbanding MFF. The news was met with an outpouring of support from riders as well as other women’s clothing brands that have followed in MFF’s tire tracks.
The end of Machines For Freedom is the latest in a series of big changes for Specialized. Specialized also announced significant layoffs earlier this year as well as shutting down most of its long-running ambassador program.
MFF founder Jenn Kriske posted this note to the brand’s community on Instagram:
“It is with a heavy heart that I make this announcement. After eight incredible years, the difficult decision was made to shutter the Machines For Freedom brand.
I am tremendously grateful for everything this brand and this community has accomplished in that time. Our influence in the industry is undeniable, and our industry-leading fit process changed the game for women riders in all shapes and sizes. While the brand will no longer exist, the community – and what we built together – will. What we built is bigger than any single brand or company, and I am eternally grateful to be a part of it.
Machines For Freedom is bigger than cycling.
Always has been.
Always will be.”
