When are we going to get stock?

[WhereHere1]

I really need a GPU.

A 3080 or amd 6800xt (I think it’s called)


Why is everything out of stock? Hard to get hold of reverb g2 too

Gibbo does daily updates on stock.

Slowly getting there but situation wont be completely fixed for another 6 months.

Demand is greater than the supply sadly.

The age of GPUs sitting in stock has ended. Until mining moves away from GPUs all cards are sniped instantly to expand existing mining farms. You need to sign up for alerts with several stock trackers. I guarantee you won't see a single 3080 or 6800XT sat in stock for longer than 30 seconds on OCUK this year or next year.

An important note about mining.

Mining difficulty increases prorptionally to the hashrate of network. The more people are mining, the less and less profitable it becomes for each individual miner.

The current frezny will continue only as long as crypto prices go up ~10%+ a week. If it stops growing and goes sideways, mining will reach equilibrium quite fast.

and when it dips to not be profitable the market will be flooded with 2nd hand 3xxx series cards!

not necessarily I've bought couple of mining cards in the past and they were fine, lasted 2 years and then sold on. They were also still under warranty. Thats the thing with mining cards they dont keep them for very long so as long as they are physically okay then you might be alright.

and if you look at the really big mining farms operations they are expanding at a stupid amount its only only to get worse not better for ages imo

 

[henson0115]

still waiting for @Gibbo to sell those 1000 of cards he said he had before xmas.. pull your finger out come on your share prices will fall at this rate

 

[Firegod]

Is there an equivalent stock thread for AMD cards? Or were these Nvidia stickies just done due to the palaver with back orders to keep people updated, which didn't happen with the AMD launch (i.e. it was buy and when gone that is it)?

 

[builder22]

I can't even see how/why it's going to get any better...what's going to change in x months time?

 

[ltron]

We're screwed unfortunately and PC gaming will suffer for it.

 

[rallyslag]

Companies will go bust if this goes on too long . If you are a company that makes peripherals sales must be dead. This is far worse than the previous mining boom. And with the Chinese new year just round the corner to rub salt in the wound things are going to get worse before they get better.

I've waited years for a worthwhile upgrade. Got a gtx980ti late in the day cause i couldn't justify the price of gtx1080 in terms of price performance over the gtx980ti I could get new at a good price.

Then the gtx1080ti came out and I thought nah, I can wait for the rtx2080/ti. Then that shower of ***** cane out and the rtx2080 was basically the same as the gtx1080ti and no way I was paying £1500 for a rtx2080ti. So I wait and wait...

Now the rtx3080, finally a worthwhile upgrade at a price can stomach and now mining craze is back and I refuse to get ripped off out of principle.

I use to upgrade my gpu pretty much every year. Now I've changed once in like the last 6 years. Pretty sad it's become like this but I guess the gtx980ti continues to handle everything I throw at it so I guess I'll continue to wait.....I'm sure many are like me.

I've also had an ex-mining card, from the MM here no less, and it failed within a couple months. Memory was shot.

When you've boiled cooked bones, and reduced them to a meaty jus.

thats where the "might be alright" comes in its not a definite every time.

I think you need the cooking forum.

They sell unobtainable graphics cards in the cooking forum? that's just crazy.

Greed my friend, greed.

I have a pic of a damaged gigabyte gtx1070 chip where the centre fan failed, if you saw that you'd never touch an ex mining card again, I know I won't. Chances are , you'd be lucky most of the time though, but I baulk slightly when people say its fine to buy a mining card. Its not the work the chip does that does the damage, its the drastic overheating that occurs when a fan fails and it isn't repaired/replace soon enough, if at all.
