I looked and didn’t see this. Where?You can buy a PNY 3090 from PNY website. I just don’t think $1633 after tax is the price I am willing to pay for a 3090.

Just a heads up ebay may be unusable for finding these cards for next foreseeable future. I've been reading about folk engaging bots to bid up scalpers of these cards on there to ridiculous values to stiff the scalpers.

I mined on eight PNY XLR8 1070 for the better part of three years and I bought them from another miner used before that. I had one card that developed an intermittent squeak in one of the fans. The others were perfect. They ran quiet and cool. Definitely great cards. I’d buy XLR8 again without hesitation. I’d say one of, if not my favorite cards I mined with.

It's a bot war. Nice.
I don’t agree in the slightest. I had my hands on over 100 cards for mining. The XLR8 were top shelf for look and feel. They were quality. They leaked very little thermal pad grease, they had a thick quality back plate, the materials used were mostly metal, not plastic. They felt robust and solid. These are my PNY XLR8 1070 cards that I recently sold. I had them the longest if any of my cards. They were my favs. Other favs were EVGA Black 1080TI and AMD Sapphire RX580, and MSI 1080 TI FE. Zotac Amp 1080TI, ASUS Turbo 1080TI, powercolor rx580 stuck out as particularly crappy built quality cards as a comparison. Everything else was relatively middle of the road and didn’t strike me as particularly good or bad.They're built with "the cheapest everything." They might have worked well for your particular application, but that still doesn't qualify them as a quality product. Anyone can do what they like with their own money. I, for one, am not buying any of their junk.

He talks about supply at 15:40. Says AIBs told him (off record) supply is the same or more as past launches.
I agree. I bet they would lose their shit if they didn’t get any cards for their money grabbing videos. It’s nice to tell people to calm down and it’s not a big deal when they have a handful of cards to play with.3:05: Getting lectured by a FAT ASS about consumerism, man that is fucking rich!
Easy for this asshat to say, he has what...half a dozen 3080s to play with.
I cant stand most of these youtubers and hate the WHOLE its JUST A GPU dont get so mad, there are more serious issues in life jibber jabber.
Which is EXACTLY why one should get so mad. New GPUS are ones of the little bits of happy in life, like that morning cup of coffee...to help steal you away from the bullshit and stresses of the day.
I don't mind legit scalpers who have a card or two earned by F5'ing the fastest or waiting in a long ass line in front of a box store.
But getting FUCKED over on your little bit of happy from BOT assholes is bad and people should be genuinely mad.
Honestly I would not piss on a bot scalper if they were on fire!
Crypto miners don’t resell their golden gooses on eBay. These 3080s might make $4-5 per day on ETH mining at close to 100 Mh/s
Crypto miners have the incentive, knowledge, and infrastructure to DoS Newegg, EVGA, and B&H. eBay flippers generally would not.
Newegg reported more traffic to their site yesterday than Black Friday. They got Overloaded and were offline intermittently for about 1/2 hour. Flippers aren’t gonna do that.

No, though I did have two different AIB cards in my cart on Best Buy before they sold out. I chose to not buy as I think I'm going to wait for 3090 or AIO cooled 3080.
30 mins videos are stupid though. Dude repeats a lot and rarely has structured videos.
They used to do that. But the backorder will extend into Holiday 2021.Honest question, why cant sites line amazon, newegg start taking preorder for the cards and ship as they get them?
Thanks, but no, thanks. I'm not too fond of their products, as their QA and build quality leaves a lot, and I mean A LOT to be desired.
This thing is hideous, and those fans look like they can't wait to rattle:

He seems to have verbal diarrhea. It's either that he wants to milk the YouTube algorithm for viewer watch time, or that he's not smart enough to be concise and to the point in his statements. I don't like people who lament over and over again about a subject, which is what he's doing in his videos.

Still works for me.
You must use that link to add to cart
It's showing as "see other buying options" on my end, too. Still, at least Amazon is showing stock here and there. The 2080's were like this for a few weeks, too.
Using the link? Don't go to the product page. I can still checkout with another (I didn't, but got to the end)
It says "Order now and we'll notify you by email when we have an estimated delivery date for this item."
Yeah, showed September 30th for me. Better than nothing.
How in the he'll did you find that link, props man. I will hold off opening my evga 2070 super to see if this works.Using the link? Don't go to the product page. I can still checkout with another (I didn't, but got to the end)
