I only bought it because it's FHR.
My brother started mining a few months ago, I'll pass it off to him in the meantime. It's a bit too expensive for my tastes.

3070 Ti's on Ebay are cheaper than Newegg. Are people still botting these? lol
Wonder when they did that because I logged in early this morning and had to do account verification still.Not sure if it means anything but EVGA disabled verification codes for account sign-ins yesterday. You can just login normally now.
This was one of their anti-bot measures.
I originally thought they had just "fixed" it to remember devices, like how 2FA is supposed to work.Wonder when they did that because I logged in early this morning and had to do account verification still.
Does anyone have good experience with a credit card that offers price drop protection? Like, if I buy a 3080 today and it drops $100 in 30 days, they'll refund the difference?
Considering the atmosphere (I'm talking about the last couple years), I can't blame them. lolAll the cards I have dropped it.
eBay pricing doesn’t really reflect price dropping, just gouging and reselling are no longer profitable so people are offloading asap.
Its all part of the natural order of prices dropping. Instead of scalpers artificially driving up prices by selling at even higher prices on Ebay, they're also not buying every single card they can get their hands on for the sole intent of scalping. Similarly, miners aren't buying everything they can get their hands on, instead they're contributing to driving prices down by panic selling their mining rigs. Both changes drive demand and pricing down.eBay pricing doesn’t really reflect price dropping, just gouging and reselling are no longer profitable so people are offloading asap.
Sure, completely agree but the way the article is titled and people linking it all over the forum as proof that the cards have been dropping isn't accurate. They will be dropping coming up, but haven't been up to this point in the retail chain.Its all part of the natural order of prices dropping.

Next step, those super inflated AIB cards sit as we've seen the last week or so. Then retailers, AIB partners and eventually the chip makers themselves start getting antsy because they have more supply than demand, so they start cutting prices. I've already seen $100-200 discounts on the hyper-inflated SKUs like 12GB 3080/Ti, same for the AIB 3090s. Every buyer in the market is going to start asking themselves if they should spend on an inflated AIB card or just wait for a much faster FE a SKU or two up at similar prices, ie. should I buy a Strix 3060Ti for $650 or wait for my chance to get a faster card like an 3070 FE for $500 or a major upgrade like 3080 FE for $700 and just $50 more? They'll pass on the Strix because its just sitting there available 24/7 available to buy, which again drives prices down. When cards are readily available people have the ability to make rational decisions and not feel obligated to make impulse buys due to YOLO/FOMO or whatever else.
Same thing with CPUs and DDR5 recently, sure MSRP for 12900K was $650 at one point but now its $500 at Micro Center and some of these DDR5 RGB kits are priced at $700 but "only" $420 with a whopping $380 discount off "MSRP".
Oooh baby, now they're only going for twice the advertised price!
Sweet! I can add a 3080, water cooled for $1350, or a $830 3070ti, or... a 1030 which still shows at just over $100!
For $869 +$10 shipping it's no wonder. Just too high of a price for what it is, available or not. No one has forgotten 3080 fes are $699, even though they are unicorns.This 3070 Ti has been in stock for 3 hours.

Just checked, still showing in stock. Too high but at least it is a good sign.This 3070 Ti has been in stock for 3 hours.

It's pretty amazing when you consider they were shuffling these cards at a higher price w/ bundle 2 weeks ago.For $869 +$10 shipping it's no wonder. Just too high of a price for what it is, available or not. No one has forgotten 3080 fes are $699, even though they are unicorns.
I wonder if that's why the shuffle seems to have been discontinued (or at least seems to be significantly slowing, it's not daily anymore.) I bet no one bought them, and newegg just gave up.It's pretty amazing when you consider they were shuffling these cards at a higher price w/ bundle 2 weeks ago.
$1329 for a 3080ti, $1919 for a 3090. Not bad.More EVGA DIY's just now.
The app shows store stock?Just checked, still showing in stock. Too high but at least it is a good sign.
Best deal since the start of this crap. Tempting for my home gaming machine.6600 XT chilling in stock on the egg for $500 + $10 shipping: https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16814930063
that's the lowest I have seen a 3080 in a long time. And its white, which usually commands a premium.https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4468891 not a good deal, but not the worst deal either
