    Official NVIDIA Ampere In-Stock Thread

    This drop was weird for me. Wanted 3060 ti FE but when I got it added to my cart was faced with the dreaded "Not Available in your Area", but I was able to check out with a 3070 FE on a second window. Yay. Cut to 30 min later and check my app to confirm that the 3070 order is still good, and...
