They were listed on the site in stock. It was sus that they were still there after I got off work. There was a guy at the door and said they had a few of each but they were closed for a deep cleaning and didn't know if they will open up again today. So I left.How did you know they were in stock? Is there a way to tell before going to the store?
Damn straight this thread is about the 99% of us who can't get a card but damnit we have a story to tell about "how close" we got that one time.Can we not go off topic and derail the thread?
It's like you are all back in high school talking about how close your dick got to her puss. In the end, most of you are failures.Damn straight this thread is about the 99% of us who can't get a card but damnit we have a story to tell about "how close" we got that one time.
Quote of the year right here.It's like you are all back in high school talking about how close your dick got to her puss. In the end, most of you are failures.
I'm not sure the analogy works well. Getting these cards requires so much work, I'd debate whether it's worth it.It's like you are all back in high school talking about how close your dick got to her puss. In the end, most of you are failures.
dont say thatthis week is 3070 Launch Week...doesn't look like Nvidia will have any supply of 3080+ cards until January
I hope there’s more inventory with them delaying the launch 2 weeks.If there's a ton more 3070 inventory than 3080/3090 inventory guess that will confirm yields aren't amazing.
What's the likelihood that AMDs product launch goes better than this? I seriously can't remember the last time a product was so hard to obtain. Maybe the original Wii, or the PS2? As far a PC parts, I can't remember such issues.
Maybe by the time stock actually arrives you'll want one!

if it is consistently as fast as a 2080ti, a ton of people will buy it. That is plenty of horsepower for most people.if the 3070's are more readily available will people interested in a 3080 actually buy it or will they continue to wait?...pretty decent difference in specs/performance going from a 3080 to 3070

I agree with this. At the moment, I don’t believe the AMD Radeon brand carries the same mind share as the Nvidia Geforce brand. Even if AMD came out with equal to or better cards I think the demand for Ampere cards will still be greater.Considering AMD’s demand is a small fraction of nVidia’s there’s a good chance it’ll go somewhat better.
I also think nVidia is having some sort of unforesee mfg issues. No drops on Bestbuy for a week and a half...
they need to stick AMD badges on the PS5 and xbox so gamers know the nameI agree with this.

Which is good news for those of us who are potentially interested in acquiring an AMD card.
sure in an ideal situation that's true but with the shortages of Ampere cards worldwide that might not matter anymore...people just want to get their hands on a new GPU and would be more willing to go with AMD this time if they can actually purchase one in time for Cyberpunk 2077Even if AMD came out with equal to or better cards I think the demand for Ampere cards will still be greater...
There definitely will be people who buy AMD over Nvidia just because it’s in stock. But when both inevitably go out of stock shortly after launch, people will still be scrambling to buy Nvidia’s cards more than AMD’s.sure in an ideal situation that's true but with the shortages of Ampere cards worldwide that might not matter anymore...people just want to get their hands on a new GPU and would be more willing to go with AMD this time if they can actually purchase one in time for Cyberpunk 2077
3 days before rtx 3070 launch and you have to scour the internet fo find AIB design pics. Where the hell are the cards? Best buy only shows the founders edition. They had like 7-10 variants of 3080s before the launch.
Personally no, I'd rather get a 3080 or if I have to, a 3090.if the 3070's are more readily available will people interested in a 3080 actually buy it or will they continue to wait?...pretty decent difference in specs/performance going from a 3080 to 3070
Personally no, I'd rather get a 3080 or if I have to, a 3090.
I don't disagree, but I have a very highly overclocked Titan X Pascal, it benchmarks around 2070S/2080 level so I don't feel the 3070 is enough of an upgrade for me. I play at 1440p 144Hz.for people gaming at 1440p (or below) I think the 3070 will still be a very good card...
I agree with you. I ran a rtx 3080 at 1440p and it was pretty bad overkill wise, sure some games I had to mess with settings to get 144fps all the time but for the most part it muscled thru the games I play.for people gaming at 1440p (or below) I think the 3070 will still be a very good card...

Im looking at the rx6800xt and Rtx 3070 and ill buy both at launch if I can and sell one of them. I ran a 2080 super for a while and it was a good card, if the 3070 is a good bit stronger than that I’d be ok with using it for my 1440p card.

3070 embargo lift is likely the 28th, a day before release. For the 6800xt we don't even have a release date yet.When is the embargo up on 3070 and 6800xt?
Jesus christ dude...why bother? Unless you are scalping them...Kansas City got 2 x 3090 Strix in this morning. Manager came out and handed out the two vouchers around 845am. We got there at midnight so it was a long wait.
based on posts in this thread he is up to like 4 cards. Just buying everything microcenter has it seems.Jesus christ dude...why bother? Unless you are scalping them...

nVidia RTX 3070 availability update for the Kansas City Microcenter for the 29th of Oct.based on posts in this thread he is up to like 4 cards. Just buying everything microcenter has it seems.
2-4 hour drive plus 8 and a half hours standing around outside though right?If anyone lives within a 2, 3 or 4 hours drive from Kansas City, that can make the drive and want's a RTX 3070 card, I can guarantee you will get one if you are in front of Microcenter around midnight the 28th / 29th and NO LATER. They will handout vouchers around 830 to 900am. To me, 2, 3 or 4 hours seems like an acceptable investment of time. Maybe you're the type of person that doesn't like to drive or wait inline, so there's that.
No, we are waiting from our cars lined up next to do the sidewalk. There is no fire lane and management gave up permission to not only park but leave to BIO and or get food. Everyone has been chill about it.2-4 hour drive plus 8 and a half hours standing around outside though right?
Not worth it to me personally, but hey, you do you.
