Twinblade★ 4,074 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 https://www.gamespot.com/articles/nvidia-rtx-3080-ti-goes-on-sale-for-1200-immediately-sells-out/1100-6492359/ This is ridiculous. Scalpers and hardware shortages are making PC a much less viable option for gaming. Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,313 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 somebody had estimated that best buy only had 70 locations that had video cards, and it averaged to around 50 video card per location. So, best Buy pretty much only 4,000 video cards to sell, nationwide. I am assuming that Newegg was given a similar allotment. This is FE's i'm talking about. I don't know if the third-party manufacturers would have more than nVIdia themselves. Link to post Share on other sites
Remij 4,832 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I didn't even bother trying. I'm good until the 40 series. DLSS essentially gave all 20 series cards a new lease on life. And DLSS was just added to Unity. So that makes the two biggest engines out there fully supported. At this point the only reason future games shouldn't support it is due to sponsorship from AMD. There's also lots of other engines that already have support for it such as Decima, Frostbite, Luminous, 4A Engine (Metro) and others. And yea, the PC market is completely fucked at this point. Hopefully crypto shit goes to hell soon enough and then the market floods with tons of used cards again, bringing the prices down. Link to post Share on other sites

If I have to wait in line an hour or 2 before they open then so be it, as long as it guarantees ill get a card. Link to post Share on other sites
MalaXmaS 660 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 So did the new Fanatec Clubsport F1 Limited Edition. This pandemic scalping culture flat out sucks. Everything gets sold out instantly. Link to post Share on other sites
The Mother Fucker 26 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) I find it hard to believe the notion that Best Buy actually stocked all their stores with 3080 Tis. The way retailers operated the past 7 months selling out online instant. I don't think any retailers had more than 100 at best, and that's one online store per country. Best Buy were improving their distribution of drops by doing Availability to store, but not every store were stocked. I find it hard to believe that has changed in a span of 1 week for the 3080 Ti launch. Edited June 4, 2021 by The Mother Fucker Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 4,074 Posted June 9, 2021 Author Share Posted June 9, 2021 oh FFS. Just called my local BB and they're only doing online orders for the 3070Ti. Im not even sure I want to bother camping the site tonight because they're certainly going to sell out instantly. Link to post Share on other sites
