[lone pond]

They are slowly releasing them on bb

dont get that one

[undone slate]

that one already gone

[glass spruce]

i waited in line at microcenter from 8:50 and got out like 9:50

[cursive canopy]

don't see a coming soon.. so think they have more

[undone slate]

too bad i cant buy it rn

[glass spruce]

im so happy to be done with my sisters build

[lone pond]

so what does a geforce membership do?

[main panther]

waiting for more inventory

[lone pond]

I have 2 now that I bought 2 3060tis

[main panther]

it’s like cloud gaming i think

[split storm]

lmao at best buy

no store available within 250 miles

[molten patio]

give the geforce membership to a friend that doesn't have a high end gaming pc

[split storm]

literally just ship it to the store 20 miles away from me?????

how are companies this inept

[lone pond]

oof

[split storm]

newegg and best buy and everything are just such miserable experiences

[molten patio]

i've been waiting at this thing for a while

[high granite]

let’s hope micro center has some in stock still when i get there in an hour and a half

[lone pond]

doubt it

Most got around 100

[cursive canopy]

it just went back to coming soon

[lone pond]

cards

[cursive canopy]

so GL 😄

[lone pond]

Bestbuy probably has a few

[gray osprey]

I have it in my cart

But it asks for verification code

[lone pond]

When I was in the loading thing waiting to click add to cart it said they will be slowly releasing them

[gray osprey]

And It doesn't show up on email

[cursive canopy]

it's back to yellow.. so BB has more maybe?

[lone pond]

Check spam

yes I had to do verification

[gray osprey]

Nope😕

[terse bloom]

Verification doesn't work. If you want to do guest check out, make sure there's no extras. No geforce now or anything. Card only.

[slate hedge]

ny1 know how canada computers instore back order works?

[terse bloom]

Technically, I'm still waiting for a verification email from Best Buy since 3080 release.

[cursive canopy]

can't ship it to me.. bummer

[gray osprey]

Bruh

[kind wing]

Got one 😂

[gray osprey]

If I have it in my cart

Will it still be able to be sold to me?

[terse bloom]

Gotta go to check out. If it's only in cart, it can still be removed.

[lone pond]

I think they hold it temporarily

For verification

[gray osprey]

Yeah im in the checkout

[cursive canopy]

be quick

[lone pond]

But not long

[cursive canopy]

you will probably need your email verification code

[molten patio]

mine is taking an awfully long time

[terse bloom]

THERE IS NO EMAIL VERIFICATION CODE

[lusty fable]

bb wont let me choose a store to pick it up...

[exotic vine]

it doesnt save checkout

[terse bloom]

It's a LIE

[exotic vine]

it kicked me out for that

[main panther]

same 😦

[exotic vine]

it wouldnt let me get 3070

[molten patio]

buttons are still gray

[cursive canopy]

dread... that happened to me when I went for 3070... 😦

[terse bloom]

You have to email Best Buy to fix your account for you.

[exotic vine]

wiat i clickewd add to cart now button says wati

did i get it

[kind wing]

I was on the SAME Best Buy account and had it on two computers and two phones

[terse bloom]

In all honesty, if you wanted to buy from Best Buy, you should have logged in first before the release, check to make sure your account was working.

[kind wing]

Raised my chances

[molten patio]

anyone else don't have a store available?

[kind wing]

I first saw it add to cart on my phone

[karmic charm]

When I get a new gpu and put in do I just start the pc and update the gpu

[sturdy mesa]

yeah I didn't get store available within 250 miles

[karmic charm]

Or do I go into the bios

[molten patio]

is there an option to get it without picking up in store?

[silk kiln]

you should be fine to just start your pc and update drivers

[cursive canopy]

glad to see a few others able to get the card... hope more get released soon

[sturdy mesa]

which sucks because I live in South Dakota, there are no stores around here really

[cursive canopy]

😦

[molten patio]

yeah because i couldn't find a store i lost it

[main panther]

it says sold out

[sturdy mesa]

at this rate I'll get my life insurance money before I ever get a chance to even buy one card lol

[cursive canopy]

still shows yellow to me, so i can buy another one.. but i won't

rest of the money is going toward a new monitor

[molten patio]

man i got my hopes up for no reason

[cursive canopy]

I was so close to giving up.. do not give up

[crude agate]

joke of a launch for bestbuy

[lone pond]

they are oos right now

but

[crude agate]

got it in cart

[lone pond]

if you read

[crude agate]

says i gotta drive 400 miles

for it

nice one!

[lone pond]

it says they will be releasing over time

sucks about the no delivery tho cause yeah

[crude agate]

i got it inmy cart 2x its stupid

[molten patio]

i was about to go in checkout but the location crap kept me from getting it

[lone pond]

Some people gotta drive hella far

[crude agate]

im not driving 400 miles

for a mediocre card

ty

!

[molten patio]

i'm not driving across the state lol

[lone pond]

Mine will be ready on the 9th like 10 miles away

[sturdy mesa]

yep, another one in cart different kind

[cursive canopy]

I was surprised there was no delivery option.. just store pickup

[sturdy mesa]

but no store again

[lusty fable]

"online only" my ass

[cursive canopy]

which one?

alakar?

the FE?

[jovial ferry]

It's in my cart. do they seriously not have delivery?

[lone pond]

nope

[crude agate]

nope

[cursive canopy]

seems not

[jovial ferry]

grrrr

[sturdy mesa]

OC

[exotic vine]

THERES NO STORES NEAR ME

'AAAHAHAH

[molten patio]

i checked popular locations for pickup and they all say unavailable near 250 miles

[exotic vine]

WHAT THE HELL

[cursive canopy]

the MSI says unaivailable nearby....

[exotic vine]

THE ONE TIME I GET IT

[jovial ferry]

I'd be swearing a ton if it was permitted in this server

[molten patio]

new york, los angeles, miami, etc

[cursive canopy]

but the FE still yellow

[split storm]

they're dropping stock in waves on best buy

so like every few minutes more inventory is available or something?

[exotic vine]

FJSADKLFJLKAS;DD;FJJ

[split storm]

idk it's confusing and nothing is available within 250 miles

[lone pond]

yes

stock waves to prevent people buying like 10

[lusty fable]

im in so cal and it refreshes about every 3 mins for the FE

[exotic vine]

IW AS IN CHECKOUT

[lone pond]

it said oos for me and 5 mines later I bought it

[exotic vine]

I HAD IT SAVED

[lone pond]

dont lose hope

[cursive canopy]

Mr Krabs 😦

[exotic vine]

NO SOTRES NEAER ME WHAT DO YOU MEAN

[granite juniper]

welcome to fcfs sales

[exotic vine]

GARBAGE ASS WEBSITE

[cursive canopy]

BB still shows yellow for the FE one...

[jovial ferry]

Why the bleep didn't they say "no delivery." I just wasted three hours of my lifer

[molten patio]

I checked miami, atlanta, and orlando. I'm not driving 2 states to get a card

[exotic vine]

i dont want to live anymore

its been months and nothing has gone right

[cursive canopy]

it will happen...

keep trying!

never give up.. never surrender!

[crude agate]

for what?

[sturdy mesa]

whatever, I'll just have to end up buying a prebuilt PC

[crude agate]

it saying that we have to drive?

its not gonna magically deliver

[sturdy mesa]

once I get some of the benefit money

[high granite]

wish me luck boys

[exotic vine]

wished

im driving

to pick up in store

[cursive canopy]

good luck to everyone... don't lose hope! I was almost about to but well, luck smiled finally down upon me

[exotic vine]

rn

[cursive canopy]

most of ours won't be "there" till the 9th or 11th

[pale path]

bestbuy still has

shhh too tell mods

[calm wraith]

Best buy

3060ti

[cursive canopy]

with tax was like 426 and change

[lusty fable]

any luck getting through bb "continue to payment" after picking a store?

[cursive canopy]

did you check your email?

[lusty fable]

why would i check my email?

[hidden moss]

a nigerian prince might need you

or for the bestbuy verification code

[thin trout]

Alright, this launch is a nightmare

[main panther]

crap the location is messing it up

[cursive canopy]

I had to get verification email from email to finalize the purchase

[main panther]

can’t choose a store 😭

i did. too

[thin trout]

I got both 3060 cards that are dropping in my cart, but I can't find any store within 250 miles that I can get it from

[cursive canopy]

that happened when I went for 3070... no store within 250 miles....

[lusty fable]

i cant even get it to add a pickup store

[thin trout]

I get pickup is necessary to avoid bots, but can't they just ship to the store?

Why is this so hard?

Do I just leave these cards sitting in my cart?

[cursive canopy]

they are shipping mine to my local store

[thin trout]

This is such a pain

[fathom bear]

@thin trout I had that same problem with 3070

[cursive canopy]

guess certain areas only get so many??? seems the FE still "add to cart" when I look...

[fathom bear]

Eventually it just shows out of stock#

Suggest you open incognito and try again

[thin trout]

But it's through my account?

Like, I have both of the only versions they're dropping, and none of them are available where I live

[sonic crypt]

so ur like me

so gg

we dont get any

:D

[thin trout]

this just makes me mad

[cursive canopy]

then probably out of stock in your area... which state?? curious.. i'm in NC

[thin trout]

Louisiana

[sonic crypt]

im in ny

and its sold out in nj too it seems

and ct

[cursive canopy]

damn...

[thin trout]

the fact that it's not in NY makes absolutely no sense

[sonic crypt]

time to see if i can get a 1660

[cursive canopy]

maybe certain states get XYZ amount allowed to them...

[sonic crypt]

@thin trout it is in ny but completely sold out

[thin trout]

maybe I should call customer support?

dang bro

y'know, I think I'll call customer support

[exotic vine]

why is it so god damn hard to talk to an ACTUJAL PERSON AT A STORE

OVER THE PHONE

WHAT THE HELL

[cursive canopy]

see.. now it showing yellow add in cart.. but a lil above, says "unavailable within 250 miles"

[main panther]

yep

[exotic vine]

SAME

[molten patio]

this is ridiculous

[exotic vine]

YUP

[molten patio]

it says stores are available for pickup but then i click on them and it doesnt work

[exotic vine]

HAHAHAHA SO AVAILABE

[molten patio]

im in checkout

[exotic vine]

I CAN STILL ADD TO CART BUT I CANT HAVE IT DELIVERED TO A STORE

[sonic crypt]

so its time to buy a scalpers 3060ti for 500$ more than msrp

lets go

[jovial ferry]

Tryed to call best buy. Wait time of two hours.

[cursive canopy]

ouch

[thin trout]

you're kidding

[jovial ferry]

Nope

[cursive canopy]

i think they told all stores to not take calls O.O

[molten patio]

I think everyone is having the same issue

[thin trout]

there's no way

[jovial ferry]

This is absurd

[carmine pine]

What’s the issue?

[naive girder]

[dreamy dragon]

Mr Krabs#5311 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[naive girder]

[exotic vine]

[naive girder]

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3060-ti-8gb-gddr6-pci-express-4-0-graphics-card-steel-and-black/6439402.p?skuId=6439402

[main panther]

[naive girder]

[carmine pine]

False stock?

[naive girder]

im f5 ing

[jovial ferry]

[naive girder]

bruh

too many ppl f5 ing

[worldly halo]

Is the rtx restock today or yesterday?

[molten patio]

there was a restock yesterday

[dreamy dragon]

E_money12#5164 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[worldly halo]

Dang

[lone pond]

newegg gets a restock today at 7pm est

[naive girder]

theres a restock today at 7pm someone said

[lone pond]

cpus and 3070s

[naive girder]

idk what time zone

oh

lol

it was you

[worldly halo]

The insta post said 4pm pst, but that was 16 hours ago

[molten patio]

gonna say screw it and try to get a 3070

[lone pond]

Hey guys, it seems the RTX 3070 will never be in stock, is there a card that I should attempt to purchase? I don’t mind buying used.

[exotic vine]

bestbuy website crashed

[worldly halo]

I got a 1070 I’m trying to sell

[exotic vine]

100%

[lone pond]

I am going to buy local mate

[cursive canopy]

i hope they slide me a second card by mistake.. ya know.. wishful thinking LOL

[worldly halo]

Maybe we are local

[lone pond]

check hardware swap on reddit

[worldly halo]

Lol

[lone pond]

if someone snags a 3060ti or a 3070 they might sell their old 20 series

Do you think I’ll find a 2080 for like 400 used?

[carmine pine]

Eh

[exotic vine]

im so sick of this stuff man

[lone pond]

It can be a super, ti or whatever

[molten patio]

If I can get a 3070 or 3060ti i'm selling my 5600XT

[exotic vine]

i just want a card

[carmine pine]

^

[lone pond]

Yea same

[exotic vine]

just please let me get a card

my build has been unfinished for months

[lone pond]

The bots have ruined everything

[exotic vine]

my first pc build

i finally got the money together

[exotic vine]

and now i cant get it

[arctic phoenix]

you can pay slightly higher prices

scalper prices for the 3070 have gone down quite a bit

[exotic vine]

i still want money left over tho

[arctic phoenix]

well you either spend time or more money

[lone pond]

I currently have a 1060 but it’s slowing it’s ass down real quick

[carmine pine]

Don’t buy from scalpers

[arctic phoenix]

complaining isnt solving anything

[lone pond]

So I’d probably have to go up to RTX as my next step

[arctic phoenix]

dont buy from scalpers if you can afford to wait

[lone pond]

I’m not buying from them

[arctic phoenix]

not everyone can, or wants to :p

[lone pond]

I can stretch my budget

But the scalpers need to learn

[arctic phoenix]

im saying its an option. 3070s in my are have been going for around 650$ ish

[lone pond]

Not to slap the gaming community in the face

[exotic vine]

bestbuy officially out of stock of 3060s

[naive girder]

Even if you have the money don’t buy from them

[lone pond]

eek

[carmine pine]

Dang

[naive girder]

Damn

[molten patio]

only way to fix scalping is to not buy from them

[naive girder]

Yeah

[carmine pine]

How long did they have stock for?

[naive girder]

A while

[exotic vine]

idk tbh

[arctic phoenix]

i got one right now :))

[naive girder]

But it lagged

[carmine pine]

Seemed like a decently long time

[arctic phoenix]

check best buy website

[naive girder]

I’m not buying so

[arctic phoenix]

:))

[naive girder]

10 minutes

But it kept on saying please wait smh

[carmine pine]

Wdym didn’t they launch 9 am eat?

[naive girder]

Best Buy is quirky

[carmine pine]

Did the Best Buy listing take that long to get up?

Welp

[naive girder]

They release stock little by little

[jovial ferry]

Best Buy successfully wasted three hours of my life slow clap 🤬

[carmine pine]

You couldn’t get one?

[cursive canopy]

bots must have gotten a lot.. but I seen a few of us get them, so there still some hope

[jovial ferry]

I had it in my bleeping cart

[carmine pine]

How have they not had a solution to bots by now

That should be their #1 priority

[cursive canopy]

the MSI says sold out, the others comming soon... and FE says see details....

[jovial ferry]

but they don't deliver and the store selector glitched out for 30 minutes

[arctic phoenix]

unlucky

i had to select a sotre 10 miles away

but its fine :)))

[tulip garnet]

got one

[carmine pine]

Bruh what

[tulip garnet]

canadian one

[carmine pine]

How do u already have it

[gray osprey]

I'm so sad

I had one in xart

[tulip garnet]

got it at one of my local canada computer stores

[gray osprey]

Got the it verified

Only to here that they could ship it to the best buy closest to me

[cursive canopy]

got the verification email?? and?

[gray osprey]

Couldnt

Yeag

Verification email

[cursive canopy]

oh couldn't?? how soon did you get the email?

[gray osprey]

45 min after I put it in my cart

Like as soon as it dropped

I had it in cart

[cursive canopy]

took you 45 min to get email?

[gray osprey]

I called and everything to get the email

Well I'm not sure precisely

More like 20 to 30

I called for them to verify it for me and they can ship it to the bb closest to me

So then it took it out of my cart

[cursive canopy]

maybe they had a shorter time frame for that code to work?

[sonic crypt]

so since any 2000 series or 3000 series is outa the question

is a 1660super any good for 1080p?

[cursive canopy]

i'm still using 1050ti for a few years now...

[gray osprey]

Its good yeah

I have one

Its what im using now

[tulip garnet]

@sonic crypt I GOT ONE

[cursive canopy]

GG!!

[sonic crypt]

i saw fourth

:(

[gray osprey]

How?

[sonic crypt]

gg

[tulip garnet]

local canada computers store

had a lot

[sonic crypt]

:(

[tulip garnet]

like 15-20 of em

[sonic crypt]

gah damn

[cursive canopy]

bribe a BB employee? lol

[gray osprey]

Nice man

[sonic crypt]

can u buy one for me

[gray osprey]

I dont have a local computer store bruh

[sonic crypt]

ill give you 500

XD

[tulip garnet]

they are all sold out lol

[gray osprey]

It blows

[sonic crypt]

im just buying a 1660 super and calling it a day

ffs

[gray osprey]

They are being sold for a lot more

[cursive canopy]

i'm sure some may buy that 1660 when you get the 3000 series card

or good to have a backup....

[sonic crypt]

i mean all i do is 1080p game

[gray osprey]

Yeah, I was gunna seel mine if I got the 3060

[sonic crypt]

and my current card is a saphire 380x XD

[cursive canopy]

i'm keeping my 1050ti.. it's a trooper 😄

[gray osprey]

LMAO

[cursive canopy]

I had to get an adapter till i get a new monitor...

since my monitors are basic flat screens

[slate hedge]

should i just get a 1660 super instead of the 2060

2060 taking forever to be in stock

[sonic crypt]

thats what im doing

[cursive canopy]

the "unavailable" is gone from the FE on my side... so they must be getting ready to put out more cards???

[main panther]

says coming soon for me

[sonic crypt]

same

[cursive canopy]

LOL i'd laugh if no one else bids on it

[sonic crypt]

but still says unavailable for pickup in 250 mile radius

[cursive canopy]

keep trying.. it said that for me too.. but that is gone now

and "coming soon" again

[cobalt star]

I wasn't allowed to get it 😦

[sonic crypt]

i have a bot but i dont know how to use it

[cobalt star]

I tried to convince my dad but he said no

[sonic crypt]

gave it to 3 people and they all got 1 pepehands

[thin trout]

Has there been any new listings on NewEgg?

[cursive canopy]

which card do you have now shaq?

[cobalt star]

I don't have a pc I rock integrated graphics intel

I wanted to use to build a pc

[cursive canopy]

ahhhhh ok

newegg says outu of stock... but they had a LOT more different kinds to pick from

[cobalt star]

Can I ask if my planned pc build was ok? I'm still kind of a noob

[cursive canopy]

sure but think #building-and-recc-chat may be best spot...

i'll check it out

[near surge]

I secured a Zotac 3060 ti boys I’m so damn happy I legit wanna cry😂😭

What y’all think about zotac I’ve always gotten gigabyte or msi never zotac??

[lone pond]

zotac is decent

FE would be better imo

[near surge]

I know man I know

[lone pond]

Zotac and Gigabyte are kind of lower tier

Not bad

Just not MSI, Asus, and EVGA

[near surge]

I tried trust me bro

😂😂

[lone pond]

Im sure man I know. I got an FE from bestbuy

cant beat the preformance for 399

[sonic crypt]

sold out in 250 mile radius

eshketit

[lone pond]

I'll probably throw a mild OC on it too

[near surge]

Facts facts but I play on 1080p so what you think?🔥

[lone pond]

You'll be good for a while

I play 1080p 144hz

[cursive canopy]

i want to get a 1440p monitor next...

[lone pond]

Not a fan of 2k it gives me headaches for some reason

Maybe its just the monitors I used but I tried 2

And after like 2-3 hours of gaming or browsing I got bad headaches

[cursive canopy]

which refresh rates on those two?

[lone pond]

one was 75 the other 144

[cursive canopy]

curved or flat?

[near surge]

Honestly same with me 1080p is just perfect🔥

[lone pond]

75 flat 144 curved

I just want 4k to be mainstream

Maybe in like 10 years lol

[cursive canopy]

hmmmm been trying to soak up all information from folks that used newer monitors...

[lone pond]

My buddy has a 4k monitor and games look fantastic on it

Problem is not all games natively use it

[cursive canopy]

4k 144hz coming year 2055? lol

[lone pond]

lol at 4k ill settle for 60\

I have a 4k 60 hz tv for my ps5

[cursive canopy]

seen a few 4k with 60hz for decent prices... but folks keep telling me go for 144hz

[lone pond]

but tbf

New consoles 4k is like low settings 30 fps

Also its absurd how much cheaper tvs are than monitors

Most decent monitors are like 250-350

I can get a 4k tv for like 400

60 inches

[cursive canopy]

yeah seen a few for 3-400 but they were 32-34"

[lone pond]

Of course less ppi

yeah

not as good for competitive gaming

But tbf I suck butt anyway

lol

[near surge]

@lone pond what would be a good cpu to pair it with maybe a i5 10600k??

[lone pond]

i have a 3600x

hoping it dont bottleneck me lol

[cursive canopy]

rommy which do you have?

and which graphics card with it?

[lone pond]

3060ti is a solid 1440 card but I plan to keep it for 1080p for the next 3 years or so

By then hopefully 2k or 4k is more mainstream and cards actually have like 12gb of vram

[cursive canopy]

i was shooting for 3070.. but that didn't happen...

rommy.. i was looking at an msi optix monitor too.. 309 for a 32"

[lone pond]

I was going to wait for AMD to launch their 5600xt successor but their launch was worse than Nvidias so I dont have high hopes espeecially since they supply all the new consoles as well

[cursive canopy]

3080 would be ideal... but they sold out fast

since they were first one out and so m any wanted them

[lone pond]

yeah man I just got a 2080 super killer for 400

cant beat dat

[cursive canopy]

i may get 27" instead of 32, and just use the 24" as the side monitor lol

nice backup

i was going to get a 2060s, then heard 3000 series was coming out

[high granite]

currently in a line outside micro center

[cursive canopy]

GL PK

buy 100 of them!

[lone pond]

2060 is garbage

[cursive canopy]

BB showing "add to cart" if folks still looking

[lone pond]

Better than nothing but its getting outdated quick

[cursive canopy]

for the 3060ti

[lone pond]

6gb vram just isnt enough

on modern games at least

[cursive canopy]

i'm using 4g atm.. but 6 instances of the game.. that 32GB Ram helps

[silk kiln]

bb shows sold out for me

[cursive canopy]

and now.. says "sold out" for the FE 😦

the gigabyte ones say coming soon now

o

i'm rooting for everyone to get one!

i almost bought one on newegg.. but it never went through

wanted something.. but glad I waited and kept the hope up for FE 😄

[high granite]

this would be apart of my first pc build

[cursive canopy]

lol it's fun to try... I was ok not getting the 3080 or 3070... and would have been ok if i didn't get 3060...

i hope all them scalpers sit on their stock for many months

[silk kiln]

ive gotten so close like 4 times lol

if i dont end up getting one ima be so pissed

[cursive canopy]

don't get pissed... just keep the hope

what card do you use now?

and now BB says "coming soon" again on all LOL

[lone pond]

for me it says out of stock

on BB

i had one in cart and checkout

but the stupid store glitch

[cursive canopy]

and now back to sold out on 2/4 cards

think they putting some out in batches

[lone pond]

on my phone it says coming soon

on PC it says outta stock

makes sense

i was so close

I hate how they wont deliver it

[cursive canopy]

yeah... but lucky for some, the BB is close.. mine is like a 10 min drive so not so bad

[lone pond]

i have a lot of best buys near me

and it showed them as avaliable

[cursive canopy]

I kept hitting F5 and clicking on the "add to cart"

[lone pond]

but when i tried checking out i kept getting errors

[cursive canopy]

i'd drive 30 min to get the card

[lone pond]

i have at least 14 near me

all within 30 min range

but i got glitches for all of them

i got an error where it said call this number to place your order but when i called they said ya it means u cant get it

[cursive canopy]

think newegg just sold all of them.. haven't seen anyone seeing they refreshing

oh form.. that stinks

I thought newegg was a larger computer parts place than BB

[lone pond]

yupp its tuff, hopefully they come back soon

wouldve been much easier for them just to ship them if chosen, wouldve avoided all of these store issues

bestbuy stores mustve had 5 gpu's per location or somethin cause of how fast it said out of stock for all stores near me

[halcyon python]

i remember when i was first trying for a 3080 i went in store to bestbuy and the sales people said they never had any in store, only online

[lone pond]

how come there isnt a captcha or something like that?

that would surely help stop bots

thats what they did for 3060 ti for everyone, you were forced to do pickup

[cursive canopy]

bots so clever, those captcha gets pushed aside

[lone pond]

ah

[cursive canopy]

i'd drive an hour or two to prevent scalpers

AI... so this is how it ends?? or begins?? O.O

skynet?? you online?

[lone pond]

man that sucks was really hoping for one

ithought they were gonna release more in bunches but

[cursive canopy]

Form.. keep trying for it

[lone pond]

now it is just stuck on sold out

[cursive canopy]

they seem to have been releasing some in batches

made many of us wait an hour to release some

[lone pond]

funnily enough it isnt even for me lol, im just chipping a couple dollars so my brother can get one and then i can get his old 1660 super

[cursive canopy]

an hour and a half to be exact

till i got the verification email.. so wasn't 9am EST

[lone pond]

Ye, it was stuck on coming soon until 10:30 AM ET for me

[cursive canopy]

very nice of you Form

both decent cards

[lone pond]

oooo nice

[cursive canopy]

my 1050ti.. I will bronze it and put it on shelf LOL

[lone pond]

lmao

how come so short

same question for 2060 lol

Ahh I see

[cursive canopy]

probably make the PC worth more having a decent GPU

[lone pond]

luckyy

[high granite]

they sold out rip

i hope the 5700 xt is good lol

[lone pond]

im hoping to make my new build sometime in summer

haha

[cursive canopy]

friend had a 5700, had some driver issues.. the company he bought PC.. sent him a 2070s as replacement.. he's been happy since

Rommy nice score

[lone pond]

what a nice company

How come prices for the 2070 super are so high right now?

[cursive canopy]

well he had to send the entire PC back once...

2070s still high?? odd ...

[lone pond]

extremely

[cursive canopy]

lol

tell her to take it, and enjoy the PC

[ripe ivy]

Because everyone wants a GPU, if the new stuff is next to impossible to get then the next best option is the old stuff

[cursive canopy]

I was legit ready to buy a 2060s when I built this PC a few months ago

[ripe ivy]

Which is no longer being made for the most part

[sonic crypt]

time to buy a 1660 super for more than a 3060ti

[cursive canopy]

ask her for a cookie to call it even

pearl.. i'd say keep trying today

[high granite]

how well will a 5700 xt perform on 1080p?

[sonic crypt]

all stores near me sold out

[cursive canopy]

think decent... just think the drivers may have been an issue when friend had it

[high granite]

ok so like the new cod

[ripe ivy]

It's pretty much on par with the 1080Ti

Edging out in certain newer titles I guess

[lone pond]

lmao

I got a rx 560 2gb rn lmao

not sure how but its holding up

definetly not my preferred card tho lmao, i would love to be able to play games that dont run source engine

[jolly silo]

your friend is cool

[lone pond]

How come she doesnt switch it out?

[jolly silo]

so why doesn't she

brain damage

ah brain damage

[ripe ivy]

[lone pond]

lmao

[jolly silo]

lock her in the basement for a week with no food

[ripe ivy]

It's literally one of the easiest core component to swap out

[lone pond]

forced to get it then

[jolly silo]

like I said

brain damage

you know what would be an epic prank

take the gpu out of her computer

smash it

and put the new one in

epic prank

brain damaged people love it

I've done it on millions

haha funny emote

funny emote make me laugh

haha

I have brain damage

[high granite]

there is a person infront of me and he is just buying stuff to resell

[jolly silo]

beat him

[high granite]

smh

[jolly silo]

even better

[high granite]

ruining pc building for me

[jolly silo]

ask him for one

be like

[high granite]

haha i got my protection device with me

[jolly silo]

"dude I'm not gonna snitch on you, but you gotta give me one"

[high granite]

i’ll “defend” myself in the parking lot

[jolly silo]

and then once he says no

beat him

[high granite]

and a gpu will magically disappear

[jolly silo]

how do you he's a scalper

[high granite]

should i take the 3060 ti or 3080 he has

[jolly silo]

3080

beat him more

and you get a 3090

[high granite]

😂😂

[lone pond]

what store has them iun person?

Microcenter?

[high granite]

yes but not anymore

[lone pond]

does sold out on BB mean they arent restocking TD?

[cursive canopy]

they listed some sold out, to change it to coming soon a few minutes later

[junior hinge]

GUYS

[cursive canopy]

I believe they putting a few out at a time

[lone pond]

ah kk

yes son!

[junior hinge]

i have one in my cart does it mean i can still buy it?

[cursive canopy]

check your email

[junior hinge]

its on bestbuy

[cursive canopy]

for a verification number

I got one, and had to get email for verification number

[junior hinge]

well the problem is that I am gonna sell my 2060 today so i dont have the money right this second and if i press checkout then I might accidently buy it

so idk what to do

[lone pond]

i wouldnt sell ur current GPU if that is the only way u can afford the 3060

if u dont get it today you will have to go a few weeks, possibly month(s) without a GPU

[static rock]

does your psu have enough wattage also

[junior hinge]

yeah it should be fine

yeah true

if you press the checkout button does it automatically buy it?

or does it like tell you if you cant

[lone pond]

it forces instore pickup

i managed to get in my cart

although it seems the most issues is with finding a store within 250 miles that has one instock

[junior hinge]

yeah my stores dont have it around me

[lone pond]

ye if u cant find a store it removes it from ur cart

that happened to me

i managed to get it in my cart 2 times

but the issue was the stores

i have 10-14 stores within 40 miles and not one of them worked

[potent lichen]

when u guys think 2060(not super or ti) restock

[lone pond]

Probably soon after Christmas

[chilly bison]

THAT FUNNY MOMENT WHEN THE 3060S SELL OUT INSTANTLY

[silk kiln]

they actually took a bit to sell on best buy

[split storm]

customer service is not a concern lol

[chilly bison]

they did?

[silk kiln]

yep

[chilly bison]

wait

when did they come out

i got a email from newegg today

bur idk when they came out

[stiff jackal]

9am EST is the official drop time

[dreamy dragon]

msmash190#6808 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[sonic crypt]

best buy was 10:30am est

[chilly bison]

oh they came out today

i see

[stiff jackal]

Yep

[chilly bison]

no wonder

so question

how much better is a 3060 than a 1060

[sonic crypt]

isnt newegg supposedly restocking at 7pm est? or was that fake

[chilly bison]

i might just get that

[sonic crypt]

about 180% improvement

[chilly bison]

wait actually

holy crap im getting a 3-6-

3060 srew 3070

how much is 3060

[sonic crypt]

3060ti is better than a reg 2080 right?

400ish

[chilly bison]

maybe

400

[stiff jackal]

About $350-400 I think

[chilly bison]

ill take 100 bucks chaper any day of the weak

[sonic crypt]

unless u check ebay

[chilly bison]

hell yes

[fluid star]

lol 3060ti 3070 killer on 1080p and 1440p res

[stiff jackal]

3060ti is comparable if not slightly better than 2080 super

[sonic crypt]

i almost bought a 3070 for 1080p gaming

[chilly bison]

i just need something thats not a 1060

[sonic crypt]

oof

[fervent obsidian]

i'm sticking w my 3070

[chilly bison]

oh you got one

lucky ass

[sonic crypt]

^

[stiff jackal]

I’d love to get my hands on either a 3070 or 3060ti

[sonic crypt]

same

i just want one that isnt 2x msrp

XD

[chilly bison]

[stiff jackal]

Yep

[chilly bison]

like its at 100% when i play apex

like bruih

wth

[sonic crypt]

i still got me a radeon 380x in my build XD

[chilly bison]

idk anything about amd

[sonic crypt]

it was the same year the 780 was out i believe

mucho old

[chilly bison]

ok

[sonic crypt]

the new cards and cpus are 100% worth it if u can get one

[stiff jackal]

I have a 1060 right now, I just want to finally finish my new build.

[sonic crypt]

otherwise ur s.o.l

[chilly bison]

@stiff jackal same bro

1060 gang lmao

[stiff jackal]

Represent!

[chilly bison]

yuhh

[sonic crypt]

i was bouta buy a 1660 super

:( i could almost represent with u

[chilly bison]

lmao

[stiff jackal]

I believe Newegg is supposed to have a restock of 3080’s and 3070’s tonight at 7pm EST

[sonic crypt]

yup

apparently thats the rumor

[stiff jackal]

Been bookmarking the ASUS 3070 cards so I can get notified the second they’re back in stock so I can (hopefully) snag one.

[sonic crypt]

XD

i want the msi one

i like 2 fans instead of 3

[stiff jackal]

Fair enough

MSI makes nice looking cards too

[sonic crypt]

yeeee

rn i have all silver parts so it'd be perfect

XD

[stiff jackal]

I’ve got an ASUS ROG theme going so I’m trying to stick with them.

[sonic crypt]

o.o

clean i see

XD

[shell geode]

is a 2080 ti worth it? like ik 3000 series are better but theyre going for like $400 on ebay

[stiff jackal]

For now at least

[sonic crypt]

if u can get a 2080ti for 400 then do it lmao

[daring tusk]

gottem

[sonic crypt]

smh

how

[stiff jackal]

Only concern I would have is if it’s been used then what kind of condition it’s in.

[sonic crypt]

^

i only buy new parts cause then u get returns and service without worrying about anything

[stiff jackal]

^^

[shell geode]

yeah all my gpus have been used and ive never had an issue

cause rn i have a 1080ti and i dont know if itd be much of an upgrade worth $400

[sonic crypt]

im going to microcenter on friday so hopefully they have it

[daring tusk]

bro the 3060ti isnt that much over 400

[sonic crypt]

gonna camp early

hopefully

they have

[stiff jackal]

I wish I had a microcenter in my state

[sonic crypt]

oh it isnt in my state

im drving 2 hours for it lmao

[stiff jackal]

😳

[sonic crypt]

its worth

i hope

they better have 1 lol

[stiff jackal]

Good luck then

[sonic crypt]

https://tenor.com/view/leonardo-dicaprio-thank-you-cheers-smile-gif-17045602

[lone pond]

[dusk oasis]

2080 ti for 400$ is absolutely worth rn now
@lone pond wait were do you find 2080ti in 400$

[cobalt star]

[lone pond]

Oof

[cobalt star]

I don't see one for 400

[lone pond]

I don't have a link lol

[high granite]

my micro center ran out 10 mins before i could get my hands on one

so i settled for a 5700 xt for now 😂

[sonic crypt]

f

[high granite]

if i catch them restocking with the 3060 ti again imma get that and return the 5700 xt

[sonic crypt]

if u can get 2 plz

XD

[high granite]

haha they limit 1 per household so send me your address and name 😂

[sonic crypt]

f

[indigo spoke]

can some one help me on a graphics card i have?

[sonic crypt]

what card?

[cursive canopy]

anyone else get a 3060ti from 11am till now???

[indigo spoke]

its a raden 5500 xt and the fans are not spinning, and there's no temperature readings

radeon

[sonic crypt]

think its completely sold out everywhere

[cursive canopy]

i haven't checked, finally wnet to get food and some time outside... still can't believe I got one 😄

[sonic crypt]

XD

im gonna try to go to microcenter friday for a lucky chance

but i may just get a 1660 super and 3700x

[cursive canopy]

i keep seeing "coming soon" but sold out on some.... so I am still hoping

[sonic crypt]

on bestbuy?

[cursive canopy]

yeah

[sonic crypt]

the gig cards i dont think were ever live today if thats what ur talking about

[cursive canopy]

they were sold out a few times, and coming soon after a bit

[sonic crypt]

hmm i saw msi and fe go on sale at bb

but never the gigabytes

i may be blind

[cursive canopy]

i saw it earlier...

maybe they didn't have as many as FE's?

[sonic crypt]

maybe

[white coral]

https://tenor.com/view/pooh-hungry-lunch-time-lets-eat-winnie-thepooh-gif-10922885

[cursive canopy]

I truly wish they had a better system so us REAL gamers and ones that want to use it in their PC's... could get it for the right price, not scalped prices

think i broke the F5 button on keyboard lol

[sonic crypt]

so how long do u guys think it will be before we can get these cards without using f5 for a chance?

im saying 4-5 months

[cursive canopy]

still think they have more batches coming out... so F5 a bit longer today

[sonic crypt]

f

[frail cove]

is the 3060ti already out of stock?

[lone pond]

out of stock for a while now @frail cove

[frail cove]

bruh what

[safe star]

whats F5

[sonic crypt]

refresh page

[safe star]

ohh i have a laptop lol

[sonic crypt]

[cursive canopy]

exactly lol

[lone pond]

Your laptop doesn't have the F keys?

Oof

[sonic crypt]

o.o 1080 and 1080ti for like 300-500 | worth it?

[cursive canopy]

i'm iffy on buying used PC parts... unless a really good price

[sonic crypt]

i mean im just gonna use it for a year or two until i can get a 3070 or 3060ti

XD

[cursive canopy]

true.. maybe 1660 ti??? new?? so IF it breaks, it's under warranty

[sonic crypt]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/MSI-GeForce-GTX-1080-Ti-GAMING-X-11GB-GPU/402587197470?hash=item5dbc11201e%3Ag%3AemYAAOSwzlxfx8rH&LH_BIN=1&LH_RPA=1

[cursive canopy]

buying used.. no warranty

[sonic crypt]

300 poggies

free returns

i made sure to check that box

[cursive canopy]

look at delivery date

jan 14 to feb 16th

[sonic crypt]

[cursive canopy]

lol

[sonic crypt]

sooner than me getting a 3060ti

[cursive canopy]

it's being sent from moscow russia

[ashen flare]

guys

a question

[cursive canopy]

and if you have to return it within 30 days of getting it... that is another month for them to get it?

ask away

[ashen flare]

how good is the 3060ti?

what card is it equal to

too

[sonic crypt]

2080

[ashen flare]

oh okey

[cursive canopy]

some say/shown 2080s or better

[ashen flare]

what will the price be on it

[sonic crypt]

its already out

[cursive canopy]

it was 399.99 for FE

[sonic crypt]

3060ti is 400-470

[ashen flare]

oh cool

so its a good budget one?

[sonic crypt]

but goodluck getting one

[ashen flare]

xD

[cursive canopy]

very good budget one.. think a bit higher than a budget card IMO

[ashen flare]

i mean

i bought a prebuilt because i was stupid

i pad 999 dollars

for

[sonic crypt]

ewwwww

[cursive canopy]

what did it come with?

[ashen flare]

i5-8400 8gb ram 1060 6gb

lol

so

over price

i regret it

when this prebuilt start to give up im gonna build a new pc

bad choice right

[sonic crypt]

never buy prebuilt unless its the corsair ones

[ashen flare]

ik

i got a lenovo one

[sonic crypt]

those r the only good ones i have seen

XD

[ashen flare]

xd

[cursive canopy]

yeah a bit over priced for pre-built...

for like 800 i got 9700k, m.2 SSD, 32gb ram, good AIO cpu cooler, and what I think is a really good MSI tomahawk MB... now adding the 3060ti... it's going to be that much better 😄

i already had the case, PS, and the 1050ti to use

[weak viper]

Hey guys, I ordered pretty much my whole build except a GPU and all i can see is the nightmare prices

[sonic crypt]

sounds about right

[weak viper]

whats the best play,

I wanted to snag a 2060 s

[sonic crypt]

if u can wait 4-5 months

then do that

[weak viper]

but they are all gone

[sonic crypt]

get a bot to buy u a 3060ti

[weak viper]

LMAO

i tried to snag one this mornng

[sonic crypt]

either bot or go into a store

thats it rly for these new cards

[weak viper]

Right maybe ill call in my BB

the other option was a 5700 xt but i wanted to know about how that is

[cursive canopy]

I was just lucky I kept spamming F5 and clicking add in cart...

[weak viper]

Yall got any insight into that

[sonic crypt]

no idea about radeon cards

i had the gpu in my cart for bb 5 times

but no stores nearby

[cursive canopy]

only insight, is friend ordered a computer with one in it.. had issues with it, sent it back, and he got a 2070s, and been happy ever since

[weak viper]

sounds about right

[cursive canopy]

pearl.. that happened to me when I went for the 3070

[sonic crypt]

f

well bb says sold out now so probably a few days before they try again

[cursive canopy]

i still see the gigabyte cards "coming soon"

[daring tusk]

goottem already

in hand

[cursive canopy]

you got a card in hand?? nice!

[daring tusk]

Im in Kuwait tho

[safe current]

Any one know what msrp is for a asus rog strix rtx 3090?

[daring tusk]

overseas

[sonic crypt]

ill pay

[cursive canopy]

wow... they got it fast lol

[sonic crypt]

3090 is over 1k

[sonic crypt]

what like 1300 right?

@daring tusk stop it :(

[daring tusk]

3090 is available here only the vision

gigabyte vision for like 1100 or sumfin

rog strix would be the priciest one

[sonic crypt]

so how early should i get to microcenter

1-2 hours early?

[daring tusk]

ask dem US ppl

[sonic crypt]

@usppl

smh

[daring tusk]

but from wht i hear ppl camp at microcenter

1-2hr wont guarantee anything

[sonic crypt]

sweaty nerds

smh

[daring tusk]

1-2hr is vanilla

lel

[sonic crypt]

i am vanilla

[daring tusk]

no cry

[sonic crypt]

[nimble elm]

so where would I buy an RTX card? I don’t live in the us... so I can’t stop by Microcenter...

[dusk oasis]

it depends of where are you from

[solid bluff]

How do I get an RTX 3080 in stock. :(

I live in the United States and I live almost a day away from the nearest microcenter.

[sonic crypt]

get a bot

[solid bluff]

Lol no

How do you?

[sonic crypt]

so then wait 5-6 months

or a year

[solid bluff]

Ok

How do you get a bot

[sonic crypt]

[indigo spoke]

can some one help me on a graphics card i have? i have a radeon rx 5500 xt and the fans are not spinning, and there's no temperature readings

[sullen vector]

Wait what

That’s odd

[viral elbow]

Contact manufacturer

[sullen vector]

Yup

[viral elbow]

There’s not much you can do

[sullen vector]

I was hoping to get the Rtx 3060 ti

But it’s all gone

[viral elbow]

Ah, just like last time

[indigo spoke]

well thank you for the support

[viral elbow]

The card has mechanical failure, what else are we suppose to say

[sullen vector]

Anyone know a site that secretly still holds Rtx 3060 ti

[indigo spoke]

yeah

[viral elbow]

probably eBay scalpers or miners

[indigo spoke]

but the thing is that the fans start to turn when i start the pc, after 5 sec it stops

[tulip sapphire]

How is the 3060 launch going?

[lone pond]

dang ive been looking at 1660 supers and they are all over 400 jeez

[sullen vector]

Bad for most people bots are buying everything up

[weary kayak]

I did see the 3060ti go into stock

but that was this morning

er last night?

[lone pond]

I managed to get 2

One from Newegg (EVGA) and one from Bestbuy (FE)

[sonic crypt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-kiR_H4QCQ

found this

[weary kayak]

ye ive seen those

[sonic crypt]

thought it'd be good for everyone :D

its both us and canada

canada has a lot of beeping

[muted isle]

just managed to get a RTX 3080 for 750 dollars here in Brazil

there were 9 in stock

lucky

sadly I couldn't get a Ryzen 9 5900x for a resonable so went with a 3900X

[hidden glade]

any suggestions would be very much appreciated
I've bought everything needed for a new pc except for the gpu (sellers have failed me so far)
I'm looking to buy lightly used or open box to try to dodge the massive inflation of prices
currently my options are 2060 super for the 400-450 price, 2070 super for the 500-700 price, and then a 1660ti for 300
i decently understand the leaps of performance between these cards, but I'm curious to see what anyone else's advice would be

also, if I got the 1660 ti, I would be looking to upgrade as soon as prices drop or I find a slick deal
if you guys have any suggestions please @ me because I will be away from my computer for an hour or 2
thanks
