Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti goes on sale $399 (USD), starting 6am PT 9am ET Wednesday Dec 2

https://www.theverge.com/2020/12/1/2176 ... to-buy-gpu

"Nvidia’s $399 RTX 3060 Ti is available to purchase on Wednesday, December 2nd — and 6am PT / 9am ET is when it’ll go on sale, Nvidia confirms to The Verge. Like the RTX 3070, this card is a great option if you are looking to play PC games at a 1440p resolution. Also like the RTX 3070 and every other graphics card released this year, stock will likely not last long at most retailers, so you’ll want to be on the dot."

I'm super excited for this one. Waking up early. Who else is getting one?

Reviews are out, beats 2080 at half the price

beats 2080 super. Probably will be another unobtainable card for months. Supply on gpus has been a joke lately.

I just hope I am not on the toilet when i get the notification for when this goes on sale, or else i'll end up like this and have the nvidia shits...

So it’s 3 AM. And I’m on the toilet taking a shit. I get a message from a guy I’ve been talking to that a card is in stock on Newegg (The X Trio, the one I’ve been wanting) so I quickly open up Newegg and try to order it. But the app crashes. I try again, crashes again. Ok try the website. Website won’t open, gonna take to long. Only one option left, go to computer. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Gotta go to my computer, no time to finish taking shit. Jump up and head to computer, start ordering process. But their I am, standing in front of my computer at 3AM, no pants on, my dick out, and shit in my ass. But hey, I got my order in and the card just arrived today. So things worked out. Good Luck everyone.

In all honesty, most of us are probably going to have to wait until quarter 1 or 2 next year to have any real chance of grabbing one of these cards at a non scalped price, and I refuse to support such a market; Not about the money but more the principal.

I'd say scalpers can take thier talk somewhere else personally, rfd is founded on finding deals for everyone, not on how to start a business reselling tech products. But that's just my take.

Which place is best to try getting one tomorrow morning are we feeling?

Guessing BB Canada won't be launching tomorrow morning? So does that leave BB USA, EVGA and B&H.

Any tips to share on what one could try to beat the scalpers?

I really miss NCIX

for the EVGA one, the pre-order for that is basically to sign up to notify by email, and they use a queue system

So get it right at launch. I was able to get a 3080 FE back when Nvidia was still selling them on their website. I know the stock situation is frustrating but it is possible to get these cards if you either buy right at launch or have a bot/discord constantly checking and notifying you when they go in stock.

Unlike the AMD 3900X.... (I have one on order through B&H and there's been basically no movement)

I don't get that question. When everything electronic, especially in the video card / computer market, is selling beyond normal market price, why would you think otherwise? One second on face book market place, and I can already see that they go around for at least $900 used. If I were you personally, I'd get rid of that asap because once stock stabilizes on the newer cards, I can't imagine the older used ones holding on to their market value.

Worth around $600-ish (assuming it's not Super/Ti).
