What RTX 3070 Ti Founders Edition?

[Robert Walker]

Anyone noticed the total absence of RTX 3070 Ti Founders Edition for resale on certain popular auction sites, or anywhere else at all?

EITHER none have been released in the UK at all

OR every single one that was sold went to a genuine gamer who in no way was tempted to sell it on for probably double the money (or a miner that can profit more from using it than selling it)

Good

Seems there was no initial drop in the UK / EU and the US. So seems no release day stock of FE cards .... Only AIB

Logisitics problems at Nvidia or just sheer embarrassment that their flagship products aren't getting into our hands? (...without passing through a scalper/profiteer on route.) Sort of a paper launch from an FE perspective then (albeit plenty of AIB cards...)

It was just a paper drop on the 10th and not a actual release

Well some places had a few AIB cards, but the 3070ti launch seems to have been even worse than the 6800XT AIB launch in terms of stock levels.

Funny thing as their was no need for the 3070ti in the current market other than to move the effective MSRP.

I was trying for one to replace a broken 3070, it went from notify me straight to out of stock just like the 3080 all those months ago

Difference with that launch was that they did make a link live for the 3080 (However was live for seconds)

That did not happen with the 3070ti, I would not be supprised if stock levels of the FE card was so low it wasn't worth anyone selling them so Nvidia called off sales for a while.

 

[Major774]

Yeah… hardly any stock was released compared to the 3080 Ti.

The bay has over 100+ 3080 Ti’s so clearly gamers got their hands on them

Is it possible to catch the previous FE cards such as the 3080 and 3070 on the Nvidia site?

 

[Podgermash]

There's a fair bit of anxiety in my home due to the 1 card one address rule that retailers have adopted.
Fair play I guess and I am glad I am not the one making the decisions on how to distribute cards to customers.
However my diplomacy can be stretched when trying to explain why my kids pc has a 1030 gt
While the office pc carries a 3060 gaming

 

[uscool]

can pretty sure say wasn't any 3070ti Fe drop not single one can be found on any marketplace

Yes join discord, twitter , telegram alert channels Nvidia do random drops

They are kids, get them a series s and be done with it.

I didn’t even get a telegram alert so I reckon there weren’t even any available.

Yeah the 3070Ti FE never went up for sale in EU / UK / US

 

[xPETEZx]

Yea didnt see any alerts for the FEs on launch.

Also not seen an FE posts on Reddit or elsewhere. So it looks like the US didnt get a drop either. None of the stories of people camping outside the store for 3 days either... so maybe they told people no stock? I know for the 80Ti there was leaks in the US of how much stock each store had.

 

[pp111]

I don't understand why anyone would care. I really don't get this. Enthusiasts, sure, but shouldn't even enthusiasts should be annoyed that NVIDIA are now releasing cards that are a blatant waste of money? Yet, instead, people sound like they are still being irrational about NVIDIA's offerings..

Cheers for the video... makes me feel considerably better!

 

[NickTheBiz]

Makes you want to go AMD really doesn't it.
