Anyone want to take bets on if they'll all be sold out in 10 seconds?

Unless AMD has something competitive don't expect the 3060nto be sub $400.I'm waiting for 3060. If 3070 is 2080 Ti for $500, the 3060 should be 2080 performance for $350.
Just need them to not castrate it with 6gb ram on another 192-bit bus, and it will sell like hotcakes.
Actually, if the rumors are right, they are shipping the 3070 with the same speed ram the 2070 launched with two years back, so it really has a long way to go with compression to hit 2080 Ti performance. When your 3090 only has 50% higher performance, and 50% higher memory bandwidth, that doesn't point to Pascal-level compression miracles.

Man, I came in here just to post about what I typed a couple days ago.Using RX 590 8GB right now, 3070 with more than 8GB should be a decent upgrade for 1440p gaming. Or maybe AMD 6000 series.
No hurry for me.
What he said.3070 seems compelling at the price point, however given the launch availability issues, the leaked 16gb cards and the two week timing until AMD's announcement, I think it would be foolish to make it a day one purchase.
That being said, for my wallet, it's the card to beat.
reading about all the 3080 lock ups ,crashes.. plus x570 mb problem with pulling battery .. ouch..
It only affects some Gigabyte boards and isn’t exclusive to the X570 chipset.Can you please elaborate or shoot me a link to this x570 issue you mentioned? Haven’t heard of this, Thanks

https://www.reddit.com/r/gigabyte/comments/evtgnk/x570_aorus_master_no_longer_starts/Any link? Interested to read up on this seeing as how I have 2 gigabyte boards... an X570 and a Z490
Don’t believe there is anything official, but there is a large thread in the AMD motherboard forum here:Any link? Interested to read up on this seeing as how I have 2 gigabyte boards... an X570 and a Z490
There is always AMD, but judging by some of the comments on the AMD forums, the 5000 series cards have more than their share of driver issues. I need to upgrade my ancient vid card. My heart says "AMD" but my head says "Nvidia." I know, I know, AMD has better price/performance, but worse price/aggravation.I fully expect OOS until second quarter next year.
If there was any company other than Nvidia, I'd never ever shop Nvidia again.
3070s are going to sell out in seconds as well. I wonder when the bots are going to stop buying everything in sight? Jan of next year? Who knows. Nothing will be available on the 29th. Just like on the 17th. Gotta wait this shit out apparently.
I'm beginning to think the bots will never stop, and this is the new normal. These people have deep pockets and can buy up all the inventory and resell at a profit - further deepening their pockets. So there's really nothing to stop them at this point.
They are literally the only other game in town. Neither Matrox nor Intel offer a remotely competitive GPU solution.After being burnt on their absolute garbage GPUs 4 card generations in a row, it's safe to say any dedicated gpu AMD comes out with is going to be a pile of junk. They've not demonstrated even once that they should be continued to be considered a quality gpu manufacturer.
I'll consider paying for ray tracing when it becomes more than a gimmick.They are literally the only other game in town. Neither Matrox nor Intel offer a remotely competitive GPU solution.
It's also not as if they have never been a competitor in the marketplace either - the R290 and R390 were very competitive cards (in the recent past) as was the Fury (save for its RAM limitation). They've definitely had their ups and downs - however they're under new leadership and definitely have been chipping away at their issues of the past 4 years. If not observing the absolute high end, the RX480 and RX580 as well as Vega56 have more or less been lauded by anyone for their midrange bang-for-the-buck performance.
The long and the short is, if you're writing them off you have a very short memory and the computing space changes very quickly.
On topic, I won't be buying a 3070. I'll be waiting to see what AMD brings out. And I'll either hold off this generation or buy into somewhere in the high-mid range. I have a Radeon VII now, and there isn't too much of a reason to upgrade outside of gaining RTX features. And I don't know if I necessarily feel like spending $700+ to get them.
A point will be reached where all the people willing to pay above MSRP will have their cards. Scalpers’ inventory will begin to sit and that’s when they’ll turn off the bots. When that’ll be? Probably in a couple months. For now I still see these cards selling out at $300-400 over MSRP within minutes on Amazon marketplace.3070s are going to sell out in seconds as well.
