In December, TSMC is raising prices up to 10 percent on 5 and 7 nm chips. Older process nodes will rise up to 20 percent. Probably double that by the time those products reach the consumer.
It's been there because TB3 is a bottleneck for the 3080, LHR and if you pull the card from the enclosure only the GPU is cooled. The rest of the card will need heatsinks. The PCI connectors are mini so you'll need cable adapters. Finally, Gigabyte. Just a headache of a purchase.
I haven't used this site but the price is less than scalpers... Haha, I might just do this rather than the waste of time doing these other bullshit methods.
How long did it last?
Good 6 mins
Damn, haha, that's what I get for working late. Thanks for heads up though!
Think they will refuse to refund now even in that case and ask you to send the card back,, and you will have to take it up with cc meaning bye bye newegg account. The 6600xts are sweet lil gems though both of mine doing almost 33 Mh/s at around 58w plus gaming performance of a 2070s/1080ti if you need it...
Oof.. Well my local MC has the Hellhound for 459 and lots of stock so I suppose I should just buy one for 'reasons' before they get even more expensive?! I don't mine but nice hash says it would make me like 2.70 /day right now with my electricity rates. These cards are going to keep going OOS or inflate even more if this keeps up.
6600XT isn't necessarily going to keep going up, and it's not even purely demand that raised the price this time, but the AMD AIB partners being weirdly aggressive in raising the retail price post-release way sooner than their other recent releases. Most 6600XT's had their list prices increased around $60 only a week after release.
It's showing in stock right now. Too bad I buckled and paid that much just for a 3080
How much was the 3080? I dont see any 3000 series on there anymore
Man, SOB... I randomly checked earlier maybe hour plus before just for fun and didn't see any gpus, boooo my poor timing as usual. I'm good at missing everything lately, lol.
Why would you need more, how many computers do you have lol
Once you go down the mining rabbit hole....will probably let the 6700xt go and may be a 6600xt as well. One 3090, 3080 and 6600xt ought to get me the consistent > 250 Mh/s that I've been craving and the max my office setup can manage in terms of heat output...
Lol, tell me about it...
You can sit around wishing, or redirect the energy into either joining a discord cook group, and/or set up your own direct monitoring of sites of interest. In the case of EVGA b-stock site you can use Distill or Auto Refresh Plus + BP Proxy to auto-rotate through a list of proxies every 60sec while monitoring the B-stock page for changes or specific keywords. There will be a lot of false flags.
This , in hindsight I would have probably gotten the 3070 and/or 3060 ti, but there is no time to think during a drop....
There's no exact or consistent schedule, to any GPU drops anywhere really. B-stock has tended to be once a week, usually on Thursdays, often at 4:30pm PST, but does not typically include 3 series cards.
Yep. Iron rule of GPU/console buying: buy first, think later.
I stopped all the mining back in 2014 because of the noise/heat that was bugging my wife
