Seems to be true, I haven't seen any pictures of mining rigs full of FE cards. Maybe only one in a mixed brand system.

Current card demand and scalping price might increase as miners scramble to get the last stock of full hash capable GPU's, but that should be a pretty short term issue I think. Pre-neutered GPU's are always going to fetch a premium now. Will be interesting to see how the market changes when...

Best buy has delayed shipping them or they are delayed in route? My 3070 is delayed by UPS because of weather.

How does Zotac's warranty handle users that watercool? Will they still honor the warranty? I have a 3070 Founders Edition arriving tomorrow, and considering waterblocking it as well, but not if nVidia will void the warranty if modified. Getting the 3070FE at $499 from Best Buy almost feels...

Good catch Sir! Where did you get it from?

Exactly. Everyone here has seen the pictures of piles of GPU boxes in someone's garage, bedroom, attic, bathroom(?), etc. Even a small mining setup of 8 or so GPU's compared to one GPU per gamer, is a large use:use ratio, and only gets higher with the larger miners. If mining wasn't taking...

They did spread out the drops at least 45minutes to maybe an hour. My order went through just before 10am MST.

That's the ticket. Even if it's not the exact item you want, if it's in high demand it can be traded for what you want. That might start to spread to other items in life besides PC parts, sigh

They seemed to spread them out for almost an hour. Kept clicking and missing. I started yelling and grumbling from my office and my wife asks from the couch 'what are you trying to get?' I said anything! So she looks on her phone and scores a Founders Edition 3070 first try. Good wifey, better...

Seems to be a larger quantity drop.

Sigh, got sidetracked paying bills and missed refreshing BB on time!

Yes. There will be a surplus of sellers and it will become a buyers market. New retail cards will come down below msrp, further driving the secondary market lower. When that will happen is anybody's guess.

With a bit of patience, you will be able to buy it back for $200 or less in the not so distant future.

On the page of each card you want click "save". Then you can go to your cart and see the status of all the cards you saved on one page.

It has been two weeks since the last one...... fingers crossed
