My husband and I managed to dumb luck our way into an MSI GeForce RTX 3070 Ventus 2x earlier in the week for the equivalent of about $720. Lots of components are sold out/being sold by 3rd party retailers on Amazon for high prices here in Japan, too.

I also just got an MSI RTX 3070 GAMING X TRIO, so I've added that to my classifieds listing:

Confirmed. The delay emails have begun. 2/17 anticipated now. I expect that to be pushed out until at least March based on their inventory tracking.

I just snagged a 3080FE so I no longer need the 3070 I have. Anyone interested in a gently used 3070?

I haven't seen any pre-orders yet. With no founders edition of the card, its left up to OEMs only to produce them.

Could already be too late, but for you Dallas guys, the Microcenter website is showing a 3070 in stock. Just a heads up

You'd have to show up around midnight to get a card a microcenter. I drove by around 7am and there were about thirty people in line

Subscribe to the StockDrops discord channel. I got a card in less than a week using their alerts.

Just wanted to let those on my waiting list know that one of my backorders is getting fulfilled today! Unfortunately it is just a single card (RTX 3070) and is already claimed. The good news is that it was showing an ETA of July 17th, so hopefully there will be more to follow soon!

Sure, I can do some sort of reservation. Send me an email at jason@arculum.com and I'll let you know when it comes in, but I won't delay too long before putting it up for sale.


Would like to get my hands on 2x 3080ti hybrid when EVGA releases it. Is that something you can help with?

As long as my distributors carry it, sure! They do seem to offer all of EVGA's line, so I don't expect it to be an issue.

Can you get any of the 2070 or 2080 series cards?

pretty sure those are no longer in production. rtx 2060 and 2060 super should be in production though

One of my distributors LISTS a PNY VCG20708SBLMPB (2070 Super) and a couple PNY and ZOTAC brand 2080 Ti cards, but shows zero stock. I haven't used this distributor yet, so I have to contact my agent to see what that really means. Several options for 2060/2060 Super, but all also out of stock at the moment.

Navy,

Also a good idea to stalk the EVGA Community site. The "New Checkout Process" thread will likely list when the auto-notify for the 3080ti will become active so you can be ready and get on the list ASAP. Probably some time in April from the sound of things.

I am trying to find a 3090, where can I go to check when new inventory drops? I've signed up to be notified from Best Buy and B&H but those are proving to be unreliable.
No matter what!

Join StockDrops discord. Inventory at BB and B&H will be long gone before you get an email.

jbryan -

Do you know if EVGA is dropping the 1600 line of cards? Their website used to show like 6 different models, now it just shows the 1650 Super..

I realize we are in the middle of a crunch for video cards, but I haven't see anything like this in the 20 years I have built PCs. There are just no decent cards available Sub $200, unless you want to pay $200 for a card that has 5 year old specs.

I was hoping to snap a 1650 or 1660 sub-$200 like they were most of 2019 - mid 2020, but now they are $400+ on NewEgg!

Got a new build with everything but a video card. ugh...
jbryan10

My distributor isn't showing any in stock, but does list EVGA 1650 Super, 1660, 1660 Super, and 1660 Ti with ETAs in the next few days (not the most reliable estimates though). With that said, my distributors prices are still all above the listed ERP for the cards. I could still beat $400 though! If you're interested, shoot me an email.

Production issues + Crypto mining. Bots buying up supply as soon as listed.
Looks like I was wrong. Here's an interesting analysis of the situation.

Unexpected high demand seems to be the root cause of the issues and not production issues. PC sales took off like crazy during the pandemic, as did computer gaming parts. Per his sources in the industry, Linus is saying crypto mining isn't having as much effect on the graphics card shortages as people think. Rather, it's pent-up demand for the first major graphics card update in years (notwithstanding the 2000 series as it was more incremental) along with a lot of people stuck at home working or schooling and buying PCs.

That's about what I ended up doing but it was from someone selling what was left of their system on facebook marketplace. They pulled the power supply and the motherboard was bad, but everything else checked out.

You might have better luck looking for something like that rather than someone selling just the video card.

I have 7 Nvidia Quadro P1000's if anyone is interested. Not even sure what they are worth. Make an offer and I'll ship to you or face to face pick up if you are in Houston.

These are brand new but I don't have original packaging. We ordered them with new work computers however the one program we use doesn't like this graphics card (Carlson Civil Survey - known issue apparently) so we had to switch them out.

I just ordered a system with a 3080 to serve as a VR rig-- estimate is currently 5/21 doh!

Good news, bad news, and horrible news for everyone on my waiting lists:

Good news: I was just offered a variety of 30-series cards from one of my new vendors, a total of 24 of them!

Bad news: There was a catch to getting them. For 3060/3070 cards, I had to buy 2 additional items (random power suppliers or coolers) PER CARD. For the 3080 cards, I had to buy 3 additional items.

Horrible news: Of the 24 cards, I'm only able to get 5 of them without stretching things too thin with all of the extras.


I am getting emails out now but am asking that you PLEASE help me offload these extras by taking at least 1 at cost. Anything else I get from this vendor will have the same conditions (at least for the time being), so I wanted to warn everybody that isn't getting an email from me right now.

I'm sorry for asking you to spend even more than the ridiculous prices for these cards, but it would be a tremendous help to me. I'm also sorry that I couldn't take more of these cards, but maybe I'll certainly try to get more as soon as these are sold.

Are they choosing what you get with it or do you get to pick? I guessing most people are probably building a system with the new card so if you get to pick it would probably be fine.

I do get to pick, but from a VERY limited selection.
