The UK based retailer Ebuyer is selling RTX 3070 Cards (and others) and has them in stock but with a catch. In what would appear to be a ploy to put off scalpers, they are selling the cards in bundles with a motherboard and processor, assuming that people getting the new cards will also will also be upping their main board and processor. The scalping mark-up is gone for the ******** so you may actually be able to buy one. NVIDIA Graphics Cards | Cheap GeForce RTX GPUs | Ebuyer | Ebuyer.com

They also have similar bundles on for 3080TI, although considerably more expensive.

Pretty amazing we are basically at the one year mark and cards are still hard to get. Biggest worst product launch in history I’d say. Pandemic or no, Nvidia botched this.

They’re not just doing bundles. If you put RTX 3090 in the search bar you will see that they are selling them on their own… & also say “in stock” (I presume they do actually have some?)

Still too expensive though, with them all being over ÂŁ2K
For a moment I was tempted there, but I’m not paying that much

I think the 3090 is less attractive to scalpers because it’s already super expensive and less popular.

Not sure NVIDIA could do anything about it, there are just not enough chips being made to fulfill demand.

I wish the prices would drop though :tired_face: I currently have an RTX 2080ti so it wouldn’t be worth upgrading to anything less than a 3090

If you’re talking about the 3090, those are the normal prices for those cards.

Sadly the “normal price” for a 3090 is over £2000 at the moment, but that’s much more than the original RRP (£1300+)

China is cracking down on coin farming, used farm cards are showing up on resellers.

Supplies will improve and prices will decline.

Yeah saw a post on Youtube recently that said that many used gpu’s will start appearing, because tax changes in countries are putting them off doing mining. But did also warn they probably aren’t the best cards to buy as they run a hard life, used at max load and in hot conditions since being installed.

You could try sell it ? 2080Ti is good for PC’s with a normal power supply and it will run DX-12 Ultimate.

Prices of all chips go through the roof now, because there is a shortage… NVidia is not the only one that has to cope with that, also Microsoft and AMD cannot keep up with the XBox-X demand.

I have thought about selling it… but I would want a 3090 first. I know I’d probably get a good price for the 2080ti… so it would help pay for a 3090. Still, I’d rather wait for prices to come down a bit first.

Same here. I run low end graphics (MX-330) on a good laptop. I’ve considered replacing the laptop by MSI, but that would cost me about 3000 Euro’s. Sell my HP now, I’d be without MSFS :frowning: An XBox-X is an option, but I would regard that as a second MSFS machine. I really prefer to have an open platform (Community, SDK etc) and I can only do my hobby development on a PC. There is no Visual Studio on XBox and there will probably be no Blender any time soon…

Well, Jensen was in a huge hurry to beat AMD to market and if you’ve been around the block, holding the kitchen spatula release special a week before AMD’s without inventory to justify a launch reeks of one-upsmanship and trying to pull customers Nvidia couldn’t even hope to supply from AMD. Nvidia was not ready for launch but they did it anyway.

And I am not sour grapes. I already have a top tier 3090 from EVGA. Got it shortly after launch because I clicked the “notify me” button after I couldn’t snag one on release. EVGA got a lifelong customer with that. Expensive but it was list price with no added surcharges or anything.

Don’t buy from Xstra .eu, they’re just a bunch of chancers IMO. Waiting time 5-12 weeks and here I am after 15. In the meantime they’ve offered me the same board at 3x the price from “3rd party suppliers” … Of course they promise a refund whenever I want but I refuse to play that game and instead will reclaim from Paypal with a big complaint attached about their client.

In the meantime I’m stuck with a GT1030 but hey!

Not sure you can blame Nvidia for the lack of stock of the AMD GPU’s too… so maybe its bigger than a bad product launch. It’s deeper than that.

19

I don’t disagree. Other industries are also seeing chip shortages. AMD also launched into these circumstances. And what is the alternative? Not release? It’s hard to recommend that. How about Nvidia launched prematurely? It’s a tough situation all around but Nvidia did it the worst with how they tried to one-up AMD on their launch.

I have a Asus GTX 1070 and a 4790k CPU and my MSFS looks just great. So why change.

Hello,
I have moved your post to the PC & Hardware section. This is where topics about graphics cards and other PC components goes.

Tbh the newer hardware will obviously have better performance and support moving forward. Better yet if the sim supports DLSS or FSR. Would love DLSS support on my card. Currently the new higher end 30series cards are underutilized and I have a feeling the high end GPUS will benefit the most from SU5.
