on top of that…someone in South Korea sent in a 1080 Ti for service and were sent a completely new 1080 Ti, which had info on the PCB saying it was manufactured in 2021, when that GPU was retired 2+ years ago.
seems Nvidia may be resurrecting a lot of older stuff to fill the void.
I guess they have to do something since they can’t keep up with 30-series demand. And from everything I’ve been able to gather AMD is doing even worse with supplying their GPUs since their entire product stack is on TSMC’s 7nm.
I went to a Microcenter near me to pick up some RAM. I ended up overestimating the travel time and getting there about a half hour before they opened. There were about a dozen people already lined up at that time. It was only after a lady came out about 10 minutes before opening and announced ‘We do not have any 30 series cards’ that I realized “Oh, yah. Lining up for your tech goodies is a thing now.”
Let’s have a cable talk in the computer topic on an audio forum, shall we?
I think the only thing I know about cables when it comes to PC-related parts would be cables from good PSU brands like Seasonic, and I know that brand has not done me bad lately and therefore I feel safe.
As long as the item that you got from them is not defective, otherwise you probably got a PSU from Diablotek lol.
WTF is going on in the video card market? I went to buy a 2070 or something like that so I could pass my 1670 to my kid and BAM, price gouging up the wazoo! I know the 30XX series is in short supply but even the downmarket cards are being gouged.
Anyway, looking for an old 1060 or something along those lines if anyone’s got one laying around. It’s just for 1280 by 1024 gaming for my kid so don’t need much horsepower. CONUS
20XX was a dud generation that didn’t spark many upgrades form 10 series owners, combine that with the insane increased demand for desktop computer products and you have this mess. I got lucky in the EVGA 3060 queue and turned around and an old 1060 locally for $200 and I could’ve gotten more online. It’s madness.
I’m in tech sales…it’s absolutely insane. I have some GPU back orders gong on 6 months now with no ETA’s or lead times.
and prices are insane! I had a GTX 1650 last week…sell price was $383! >.<
everything is gone / out of stock but for some Quadro’s. PNY Quadro P400 is $175.00 CAD…the P620 is $275…P1000 are $450…P2200’s are $575 and I haven’t bothered looking at the newer RTX Quadro’s.
If I could get ahold of something to throw in my system, I’d be willing to part with my RX 570… Unfortunately, I really can’t get ahold of anything
Yah, I was looking into upgrade my 970 but it looks like I will be stuck with it until next year at minimum. GTX1660 is currently more than $700 in my country, so gpu is a big nope right now.
It took me a month after I ore ordered to get my 3070 and that’s back in January stock has gotten worse since. It’s literally not possible to build right now.
What makes things even worse is that both NVIDIA, who is currently using Samsung silicon, and TSMC, who is supplying all of AMD’s parts, have both come out and said that the supply issues aren’t going to get any better until sometime next year 
. Which means all the money I spent building my new computer over Black Friday in preparation for a 3080 may as well have been a waste of money since it’s just a gaming PC.
Considering how bad it has gotten since, I really don’t feel bad about the money I threw out for my 3090 a couple months ago…
Same here buddy, running an original 960 in an otherwise brand new machine. 
prices and stock are just impossible right now.
Find tracking bots and servers to use and pay attention to them when the ti cards come out I think that’s the only hope for many of use to get cards
Yeah that’s kind of insane, considering it’s MSRP is only 229$.
Reading this thread I decided to check local pricing, holy crap I didn’t think it could any worse a couple of months back. I got really lucky and ordered a 3060Ti two days after launch, it was about €50-€60 over MSRP so I was doubting whether to purchase or not, but it seems I made the right decision back then. Only had to wait a day or two.
I even took a look at used cards and they are also double the usual market price. Surprisingly new AMD CPU prices aren’t that high, maybe 1.5x over MSRP and Intel has their own manufacturing so…
I need help. 
People still building home entertainment PC? I like to build one for hi-res 2ch music library watching 1080p movies, browsing and zeos videos.
Budget and do you have a preferred form factor/size?
