I'm tempted as it looks better with my Corsair white 680X case but it probably isn't cooler than my Aorus 3090 Xtreme.ASUS GeForce RTX 3090 White popped up here in Sweden... for $2900.

figured I would check again on cards after giving up hope for the last 2 months or so. seems like it's still as bad, if not worse than before. scalping prices are still as ridiculous as before too. so for regular people who don't want to pay double the MSRP or pay for a bot, there's pretty much no chance to get one this year right?

It's been reported that Nvidia doesn't expect the stock situation to improve until May at least. I personally don't expect to get one (or a new AMD CPU) until the autumn at the earliest.
Nvidia RTX 3000 stock might not improve until May – and AMD’s GPU outlook isn’t great either
Ampere and Big Navi demand is high – and won’t be fulfilled in the near future

I honestly never thought the shortage would be this bad for this long. Pretty crazy. I feel like I should've gotten a 2060 super when I had a chance

Especially with the rumoured DRAM price increases coming down the pipe, if you haven’t got one, you’re screwed.

I'm doing a custom loop with hard tubing, now debating between the EKWB or Optimus waterblock for it.

Another brand new card you won't be able to buy at a decent price.

Mindfactory sales figures show AMD sells only a bit smaller number of GPUs than they were selling a year earlier.
The average selling price of those GPUs though... ouch, going from 5700XT as the most expensive model to 6900XT, cough.
AMD shortages are understandable:
1) They sell BIG chips en mass, unusual for them
2) TSMC capacity is soo limited, yet we have PS5, XSeX and Ryzen 5000 series launch on top of Big Navi
NV's shortages though... With entire Samsung 8nm left to them, are likely caused by... AMD.
I bet Huang planned to sell GA104 chip as 3080.
GA102 would be a 20GB "Ti" chip (now, suddenly, memory configuration starts making sense).
Etc.
Dropping entire portfolio (thank you Lisa) by a tier is bad for the availability of stuff.

Nope but the 3.5 slot size of my 3090 did give me a moment of pause since now I can't use one of my PCI-E slots anymore.

I literally got my EVGA 3090 FTW3 Ultra the same day the tariff exemption ended and prices shot up.
Since then prices only seem to be spiraling upwards. This is the first time I've ever owned a computer part that was an appreciating asset!

Blog: Just got a notice that Asus 3080 TUF deliveries are now confirmed for June (!).. Scalping prices are at this time double retail. Overpriced 3090s are actually available, no wonder, yet popular versions nearing 3000 dollars scalping price, funny but by principle out of the question. AND not the least the Ti version is incoming shortly. So the only logical conclusion in my case is to abandon the 3080 completely (I don't need it for anything other than VR anyway, could go all year and still it's not that bad) and focus on the Ti going forward even though it possibly won't improve the timeframe.

I finally said fuck it and plopped down the cash for a prebuilt PC with a 3080 and a 5800x.
Typically I would just wait out the shortage, but it doesn't look like it's going to be changing much anytime soon.

Thats how i see the situation also. Sure a GTX 970 is nothing good but i hope for May the availability will get better.

My Gigabyte RTX 3070 Aorus Master is arriving tomorrow! Originally wanted a 3080 but found constantly monitoring stock alerts for months was having a detriment to my mental health. Plus im looking at 1440p so the 3070 should be fine.
I think im going to sell my MSI 1660 armor OC card. Might get a decent price for it?

It wasnt announced. I doubt its coming anytime soon. Because there's no reason to yet. AMD poses no challenge and is dominated at the high end tier. 3080's are being bought as fast as they can make them. The latest TI rumours has the card at 12 gigs. Performance is gonna be 5% more than the normal 3080. The TI in this gen is gonna be completely useless and just throwing money out the window for no gains.

Completely anecdotal, but I was browsing SlickDeals, and there was some deal for a prebuilt unit with an RX 5700 that Costco is selling. Out of pure curiosity, I went to the comments section: I swear that in the first few pages, it felt like 99% of the comments were from miners, not from gamers.
Like, people straight up giving each other mining advice (which websites to use, how much ROI to expect, 6-month forecasts, etc), in a SlickDeals page about a prebuilt computer. Crazy.
[EDIT]: Found it, it's this one: https://slickdeals.net/f/14841631-c...b-ddr4-512gb-ssd-rx-5700-999-99?src=frontpage

if you live in a state with a Microcenter, try them. they usually get 3070s every week and because they are usually over $700 they dont sell out right away.fuck in hell everyone involved in this prices. I want my RTX 3070

This is the only way right now. I was able to get my 3060ti from Microcenter too back when prices were $399.99. But yeah go early, as soon as they open the store you can get one.

If you owned a card in early 2018 it was probably also an appreciating asset.

That’s what I’ve done but with a 5900x. The long wait has begun.

I sold my 1070 last January for €200. Prolly the 1060 is worth at least that, now.

It was definitely worth it. While I technically paid more than the MSRP of the components I wanted, there was little to no chance of me getting those components at those prices anyway. I'm very happy with my purchase so far.

That’s great to hear. I’m realistically looking at middle of June for my build.
