Does anyone else just enter the shuffle for sport? I don't even care anymore, get in there $1400 3070ti bundle.

The step up-eligible 3070ti sku is $830... not the worst but I miss the days of the XX70 tier being $300 cheaper. I guess in a world of $1300 3080s it looks like a bargain haha.

Newegg's return policy is decent, so if you can resist opening the card for a few weeks you can see if things get way cheaper & return it. GPU prices are softening but I don't think they'll tank... there's so much pent up demand I think it'll take a few months to work its way thru the system...

Nice price!

Now you guys better not be scalping! If I see this relisted at $19 I'm reporting you.

B-stock drop was a mess. This is the first one I was in time for, added a couple to my cart only to have them show as 0 qty. Am I right in assuming each SKU is a one-of? Or do they drop multiples at once but they disappear instantly anyway?

The ILM is metal so metal washers are fine.

Sooo, I thought Elite customers would get a 24h head start on new product queues. Did that not happen for the 12g 3080?

I've heard Microcenter is charging over MSRP these days, and/or only selling high end SKUs to people who buy a whole computer. Any truth to that from those in the know?

Hm makes me wonder if enterprise surplus will end up filling a niche on the consumer side eventually. Like when all these miners are done with a2000s, will they run crysis? Or put another way, is what we're witnessing the industry pushing consumer side pricing up to match enterprise? I know...

Is industry demand that much greater than it was 5+ years ago? To me the crunch seems like a one two punch of supply chain + crypto. I have to imagine they're shipping & selling more gaming GPUs today than ever before. But to your point I could see them setting aside more high-end silicon for...

If that's the purpose, though, then how do you explain the new tiering structure? None of the cards on the list right now are 'coming soon' (unless you count OOS). So if I buy a 3060 I can step up to a 3080 Ti. How is that drastically different than buying a 1030 and doing the same thing? The...

Yikes. If this is such a problem for them they could have put a huge note on the 1030 product page that says NOT ELIGIBLE FOR STEP UP. But I guess if all the managers are on vaca maybe the web team is too.

Yeah les_garten nailed it... No one was getting something for nothing. We were just trying to work within the terms they set, which we followed. They're about to get a bunch more cheap cards returned, only this time the $1,500 cards won't be sold to us but to someone else. It would have been...

Oh so a 1030 doesn't even count as a 10-series card?
