Do these new cards come with the COD bundle yet? Supposed to be the new game giveaway starting today.

I might be interested for my best friend's wife. She's on an old 1060 right now. I'll find out what res she's playing at though.Looks like the 3070 is much easier to get. I managed to snag a 3070 Vision this morning, which is much more in like with the white and silver build that I'm going for, and the 3070 Gaming is now extra. I could sell it to someone here for near MSRP (plus what I paid for taxes and shipping, so I don't lose anything).
Assuming that they both ship, anyway.
Thanks. I ordered a 3090 from best buy on wednesday but so far it hasn't shipped yet.....so I guess I should still keep my finger on the pulse of this whole debacle. I was running my own distill.io tracker specifically on the 3090FE page on best buy to get mine btw, by the time I got the email I thought I was too late but managed to snag it. Well, if it ships that is.https://discord.gg/QEAd2kQ
Not that it does any good. I’ve not seen anything in stock by the time the discord alert chimes for weeks. Lots of false positives. Lots of instant clicks as I’m using my phone and still out of stock. The bots are still going strong. I suspect with the 3070 release and the upcoming AMD news it will soon start to become easier to get a 3080 card!
K. Keep me posted.I might be interested for my best friend's wife. She's on an old 1060 right now. I'll find out what res she's playing at though.

I selected ship to store, so not sure if it gets UPS'ed to a store or if it ships with their regular inventory. So your order went from preparing for shipment to just at your door?Mine never got tracking and just showed up from best buy. Also by far the worst packaging I've ever had, it was literally thrown in a bigger cardboard box with nothing else, you could hear it being tossed around.

We all swap parts around as needed - the 970 in my HTPC came from him, as he didn't have a use for it, and we have a floating spare card (another 970, not worth it to SLI them) for when someone is troubleshooting.Uh-oh

why didnt you buy themupdate: Kansas City Microcenter has 4 x EVGA RTX FTW Ultra 3090 left out of 6 when I was there around 1030am this morning. Might be a few still in stock.
why didnt you buy them
Market probably about to collapse on 3090 with 6900xts coming soon. I wonder if Nvidia is going to lower the price. I doubt it cause of the outrage they will receive.why didnt you buy them

Yup, people are becoming cautious now with the new AMD cards coming out shortly.Market probably about to collapse on 3090 with 6900xts coming soon. I wonder if Nvidia is going to lower the price. I doubt it cause of the outrage they will receive.
Still 5-6 weeks away. Besides, a bird in hand is worth two in the bush or something like that.
Nvidia won't lower the price. They'll just point to the fact that it has more VRAM than the 6900XT.
I can see Nvidia lowering the price if the 6900XT shows to be truly toe to toe with the 3090. But they probably won’t lower it any lower than $1200-1300 since they, like you said, will cite the fact they have more VRAM.Still 5-6 weeks away.

What I am worried about along with a few of my other 3090 friends is that if they do lower prices, how will they address the fact that just very recently people were spending $1800 - $2000? on 3090s? That's going to royally upset a lot of people. Me personally, I won't care. Easy come, easy go. I can also see Intel lowering the price on the 10900K / 10850k models. Wow, what a great time to be a PC gamer.I can see Nvidia lowering the price if the 6900XT shows to be truly toe to toe with the 3090.

Yeah it charged my PayPal, then it showed as processing or preparing to ship, then it arrived. I couldn't change the shipping either which was weird, because I could on my 3080 order. This has never happened with all my other best buy orders. Only with the 3090I selected ship to store, so not sure if it gets UPS'ed to a store or if it ships with their regular inventory. So your order went from preparing for shipment to just at your door?
Yea I'm in Wichita just a couple of hours from that KC store but would have to take off from work and no way to know if I'd even get one. Really frustrating.Would be awesome if people here helped each other out and grabbed cards from MC and shipped to fellow members here. I’d gladly throw an extra $50 for the trouble

nvidia would sooner release an rtx 3089 with 1 fewer cuda core at a lower price point than admit they overpriced an item. And I don't really think the 3090is overpriced at msrp.I don’t expect 3090 prices to drop considering they are still instantly OOS and they offer features / VRAM / capabilities (DL) above AMD’s card.
To each their own but for strictly gaming the 3090 is massively overpriced in my opinion for 10% more performance on average. Overpriced by $200-$300. Especially if the 6900XT pans out.nvidia would sooner release an rtx 3089 with 1 fewer cuda core at a lower price point than admit they overpriced an item.

And does RT better...so it seems.Still 5-6 weeks away. Besides, a bird in hand is worth two in the bush or something like that.

We had 4 of the 3090s come in tuesday where I work. Only 1 was spoken for so I said fuck it, i've never had a flagship card before and who knows how availability is going to shake out in the coming months.To each their own but for strictly gaming the 3090 is massively overpriced in my opinion for 10% more performance on average.

If you use it for productivity work that utilizes it to the full potential then that’s a different story.
But 3090 buyers already know what they’re getting for the price they’re paying...at least I hope.
I think some people are still in the "if I can get this card now I will" mindset because who knows how much stock AMD will actually have? It sounds like availability on the 6900 XT specifically will be low.To each their own but for strictly gaming the 3090 is massively overpriced in my opinion for 10% more performance on average.

Got tracking!I wouldn't count your chickens until they ship the card. At this point, you're just as likely to get an e-mail canceling your order.

It's only a terrible value if you buy it for gaming, but I guess that's how most companies are advertising it.3090 is a terrible value
even without the titan drivers, it is very useful for 'work'. There are plenty of professional workloads that can utilize more than 10GB of vram that the 3080 has. The 3090 is still a fraction of an rtx titan cost.It's only a terrible value if you buy it for gaming, but I guess that's how most companies are advertising it.
Do it!Tempted to drive like 4 hours to my nearest microcenter, as it shows they still have 3070s in stock. Can grab a PSU while I'm at it.
I probably should talk myself out of this, though
Right.Would be awesome if people here helped each other out and grabbed cards from MC and shipped to fellow members here. I’d gladly throw an extra $50 for the trouble
