Seems like you have to download refreshers be on the site ready to cash out 1 second before a stock goes in.

yeah you have to either bot or dedicate entire days to the search
i've been WFH the entire time since it dropped and have been on the pc aiming to get one since i just built a machine
i cannot get one, and i'm sitting here with autorefreshes and information streaming in

Ooof. Does the bot purchase it for you or just alert you?

i think it may do both
i mean, when there's a drop they have stayed up for like 2m MAX
they're botted up instantly
sometimes a company will drop one and it only sticks for like 45s then they instantly all show up on ebay at 2x MSRP

i'm confident that the next month will be better for supply stock, but who really knows?

My friend told me to not even bother unless there is something I want to play that will benefit from the performance upgrade from my 1070.

Wait two more weeks, because it's been delayed until the 29th.

i would let the madness die down, personally
if you're in no real rush, just wait until the holidays or something and casually check along the way

you're approaching it the same way i did
"hey i want one of these, i bet i can get one"
turns out i cannot, and i've been trying pretty much daily (bar a hunting trip this weekend)
from what i can tell, the sneaker/shoe game scalpers targeted this market of 30series video cards and the nerds were not prepared

the only reason i've got a sense of urgency is because i built a new machine from scratch and have to use the old GPU
as soon as i can get a 3080, i can kick the old GPU into the old machine and move it upstairs for my daughter

Same thing's gonna happen with the Radeons I reckon

Which is a shame, because AMD has no choice but to undercut NVIDIA. The current leaked benchmarks suggest Big Navi is gonna be around RTX 2080 Ti performance, putting it around RTX 3070 performance (a $499 card)

$399 would be a great deal for such a card.

That's what they're saying, but I'm not sure it really matters when bots are snapping up everything instantly.

If you are playing modern games then its a good upgrade.

i have no idea
it's hard to say how much they really care, right?
i mean, a sale's a sale, eh?
i gotta think they don't love it and would stop it if they can
different places have said that they manually review orders so that they aren't multiples shipping to same addresses
but if that's the case they must have barely made any of these things in the first place

I tend to just wait until they are readily available but you can also call around to local electronic places that sell video cards. They seem to be a bit more rare these days though.

Like, it's technically possible in that if you happen to refresh a page the instant it goes in stock and your shipping and payment info are already saved on the site and you manage to not have the page error out on you, you have a chance of getting one.

But basically it's not possible to get one online for a normal person, no.

Possible just extremely unlikely. I refresh a couple times a day but pretty much don't expect to get one until early next year.

I'lll be upgrading from a 1060 and already picked up a new 4k monitor because I paranoid myself into thinking monitors would run into a stock issue as well.

Then I'll get an m2 over black Friday sales. Which should leave me good for another 5-7 years. But I wouldn't be surprised if late 2021 i buy a whole new pc to be a dedicated sim racing rig.

There is absolutely no reason to get a 3090 if you aren't a content Creator. And if you don't have an overclocked 10600k or 3950x your CPU is going to bottle neck you.

A 3090 will fit in less cases and needs a very high quality high wattage power supply.

If you want to flex your wallet just buy a 3080 and 3070 and give the 3070 to someone.

I plan on getting a 3070 but if I can't within a few days I'm just falling back to the one I was already planning on getting. It would be a neat boost for my first PC but performance doesn't really matter much to me at this point.

he's claiming to not be a "scalper"
he says that he bought a 3090 because he didn't think he could get a 3080 but then did
so now he is offloading the 3090 and the ad said he would do it "at cost" depending on offers

You posted that after I started drafting my message. I'd say the guy's full of shit, but if you can get it for MSRP then go right ahead.
