Read an article form early December on pcgamer(?) about don’t buy a card now unless you have to. Inventory should normalize March of 2021.
Wrong....fake news....
I managed to get my hands on an ASUS TUF 3060 Ti today for $649 CAD ($492 USD). The price has since gone up to $729, but they are honouring the price I originally held it at. I put my name on a list about a month ago, and magically, they called me today. I already have an EVGA Ultra XC3 3070 (paid $829 CAD - $628 USD).
I'm considering selling the 3070 and keeping the 3060ti as there is only a 9% difference in performance at 1440p between them. I gain $200 instantly just by selling the (now used) 3070 for exactly what I paid for it. I'm assuming I'll make at least $200 more though. What would you do?
You know what's crazy? If you go to Woot and look at their refurbished desktop page, there are NO gaming rigs left in there. I'll bet that they all got swooped up so people could harvest the 2 year old video cards from them.
Keep both now and then when it gets hot for full speed ETH cards again flip them for new 3080tis 😂
Really? That was the one up for $450 right? He got offers above asking on the 1660S?I did. He already sold his 1660 Super in about 2 hours for $500. That's just nuts. So total cost to move up to a 3060ti (w/tax) was $206. This TUF card is really nice. It's metal all the way around, zero plastic, and he was just running RDR2 and it never got above 55C at 98% load. I put my name in for another one...then I'll sell the 3070

That's nuts. I almost pulled the trigger on a TUF 1660S a couple times today, but couldn't at 410 all in.$475. You bet. He had 3 people bidding on it...I shake my head. Sold it on Facebook whateveritis... I have another one going (MSI 1660 Super) which I should probably sell right now before it becomes worth half that.

Reading this thread and wondering if I should sell my 1660 ti and do without Turing transcoding on my Plex box for a few months. Especially so since the box has a Ryzen 3600 in it now, so I could easily get by with CPU transcoding (I think).
Isn't that one of the projects that is always 'two years off'?If ETH finally moves to proof-of-stake like they been saying in 2.0 we might see pressure ease from crypto market.

I saw a video of a mining guy show the daily profit from an RTX 3060 mining various coins. The highest was about $4.00 per day, and that was coins without the eth nerf effecting it. The 3060 is expensive right now and it's a gamble to hope you can sell it for near what you paid, so mining seems like a high risk at this point.
So will this thread, started in reference to 2020 graphics card availability, still be a top trending thread through 2022? No signs yet at all that graphics card shortage will be subsiding this year. And then we'll start looking forward to the next generation of unobtanium to chase after.
About $500:How much would a reference vega 56 go for?
