You thought you ordered a 3060ti but it was actually a 3060, and it was less hassle arranging to sell it rather than cancel the order? And just so happens the miners had their mining rigs as profile pics and gamers had gaming ones? Yes.. OK then.

Wording from nvidia "Only available for shipping to UK / Ireland, strictly one RTX 30 series card per person, delivery address and IP address, for personal use. Not adhering to these terms may result in cancellation of all of your orders." The fact you got away with it doesn't mean it's...

If you've managed to get multiple FE cards despite the policy of one per person, maybe you're part of the problem?

You don't get a packet of haribos from the scalpers

Hahaha funny thing is I missed the original announcement but found the GPUs when looking for a 3D printer.

Why are these cards being hidden in the printer section? It's not like they're some kind of amazing bargain

You're stuck at home in a glob pandemic. a lot of people haven't been on holiday this year. Spending a few hundred quid more to keep yourself entertained isn't exactly extravagant?

Some people don't mind waiting, others want a card straight away. What people do with their money surely is none of your business?

Pricing makes sense... when you add the 10% Ebay commission on top there's basically not a lot of room for scalpers to operate.

Hard to imagine the 3080, 3080ti and 3090 all coexisting given how close they are performance wise for most. But who knows..

Yeah pricing wise that would make sense.. it's just there's been so many gigabyte 3070 eagle dropped over xmas we started making "Eagle has landed (again)" joke on our WhatsApp group. All of us have managed to get something now, mostly 3070 but only one of us managed a 3080.

Just wondering if something is up. I still have a subscription to a discord channel and there's been a flood of 3060 and 3070, but absolutely no 3080 at all. This just doesn't make any sense given that's the one that everyone wants so why wouldn't make more of them? Unless of course they're...

I got my Palit 3070 at Overclocker at like 1am. There were literally like 10+ of them sitting there

Those hybrids are quite expensive though, so you might as well get scalped and get a normal one that can actually fit in the case.

Lego blocks...

Oh and the reason I picked the Gigabyte one is because I'm really rusty with building PC having not done it from scratch for 8yrs. So I basically used the same component as the Machine and More YouTube video :D

Don't know about the MSI but for the Gigabyte board I just installed everything as per normal and start the PC. It would boot all the way to the bios screen where you can press "Del" to enter setup. From there you can flash the BIOS. Really easy.

Maybe get a second hand GPU? I was looking to sell my GTX670 but it's worth like a tenner now.

It's stunning value at rrp..For £1000 they're asking for at that auction site? Not so much.

You can build the PC with a really cheap GPU to check everything else is working?
