Has anyone had any luck getting a GPU in the last 4 weeks or so?

Currently on the hunt for a 3060ti and have mailing notifications set up on the usual sites. Has anyone had any success on getting one of the 3000 series cards in recent times? As it stands it's looking like adverts is the best place to go but most of the sellers are new accounts with 0 feedback at extortionate prices.

Any suggestions for websites that aren't currys, mindfactory, computeruniverse, alternate and caseking?

have had little to no joy as of yet unfortunately.

Hoping to build a new PC throughout the early part of 2022 but I’m not arsed ordering a single component before I secure a GPU and outright refuse to pay way over the RRP to line the pockets or scalpers.

Addilynn Substantial Rumor I'd pay within the €700-€799 range for a 3060Ti but I'm not paying €850+ for a card on adverts that someone bought of currys the day before for 699.99 unfortunately even if you find an advert at a decent price there's now bidding wars for the cards in the comments

Isn't bidding against TOS on Adverts?

The only “good” thing about graphics cards being rare as hens teeth and costly is my minor shares in NVIDIA are up in value.

1500 euro. Not a horrendous deal, puts the 3060ti in a 750ish price range. CPU is a bit out of date but still very capable for a 3060ti system.

Lenovo have a machine here with Ryzen 5600, 16GB, 1TB SSD + RTX3060 for €1,138.

Or 5800, 16GB, 1TB M2 + 3060Ti for €1348

I have a 6700XT I paid €800 (with invoice) for a few months ago that I don't even use anymore. Looking to sell or even part-trade with something far more basic.

I'm sure if I said that on Adverts I would get the usual morons "would you take a GTX1050 + 100 cash". Unreal the amount of people trying to sell GTX1660's for €500 and the like.

I got an RTX 3070 Ti Founders Edition for £529 back in late September (not sure what it was in euro at the time) from Scan Computers UK and got it delivered to a parcel motel service across the border as Scan are not delivering to the South since Brexit. Prices are still crazy elsewhere, I sold my RTX 2060 on eBay for near €500 after I got my 3070 Ti.

I managed to get it through the use of a Telegram Messaging group that sends out notifications for Founders Edition drops throughout Europe, Scan UK being the only one of any use to us here in Ireland. Typically you would expect 2 or 3 drops from Scan UK per month and I managed to grab a GPU on the first notification from that particular group. Scan are limiting the GPU's to one per person and they do not accept PayPal for FE GPU's, only credit/debit cards. You can have the shipping address saved to your account before you make an order but you can't save your card details unless you have a card saved from a previous order. I actually ordered something small before I got the GPU for the sake of having my card saved for a faster checkout when the card dropped.

It definitely is, [above the asking price that is] but the ones doing it are probably only signed up for the one sale and won't care if their accounts are suspended or banned

browse The Lenovo website for a while and you’ll get the 10% discount. Go incognito if you were on it before and the pop up will come for 10% discount code.

I got the 5800 and the 3060 ti PC off think it came to 1350 with shipping.

Case, Cabling, GPU and CPU temps are excellent when benchmarking. Case is great as well.

I'll get rid of the secondary hard drive and upgrade to 32gb of ram when needed.(only has two slots so current ram will be sold)

There is a huge huge difference between the 3060 and 3060 TI

I finally pulled the trigger on an EVGA FTW3 3080ti ultra on Amazon Germany. Paid €1680. [ex vat because i am vat regged.]

Some scalper has a same model 3090 for sale on adverts for €3500. He should go by the name Dick Turpin.

Hardly? Be a pretty stupid rule to have.

Ah see I thought you meant say you and I find the same ad, listed for say €200, but if I offer €150 you can’t offer €160 & I can then offer €170 and so on.

How much of a rip off is paying 1800 for a 3080 at the moment? I came across some page on facebook that currently has them ready to collect at this price in Dublin? I'm dying to build a new pc as mine is on it's last legs

Complete rip off and not even remotely competitive against German retailers. Have a look at https://www.notebooksbilliger.de/ or do a search on https://geizhals.de/

I'm seeing prices of around 1200-1300. Are these in stock?

1200 seems not the worst considering the current state of the market

SungSam7 · 31-01-2022 04:54PM

Had to pay 1300 for a 3070 last March, seen as prices don't seem to be coming down a whole lot, kinda justifying my investment.

I say that with pure venom by the way. Still mad to this day that it was either that or have no pc. (Killed my 1060 with stupidity, f*ck you mooji

Dcully · 09-02-2022 12:31PM

How did you kill your card?

Has anyone had any luck getting a GPU in the last 4 weeks or so?
