DAPPERxDUCK Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 For anyone looking to snag a new GPU, the new NVIDIA 3060's go on sale tomorrow! It's not a 3090, but it carries a price tag of only $329 MSRP! I've attached an article that gives some details of who will be selling, when to expect them to go on sale, and some tips on how to better your chances of snagging one. Happy hunting! https://www.newsweek.com/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3060-release-time-date-best-tips-order-1571293 Also, here is a spec sheet for the new cards. It's comparable to the NVIDIA 2070. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-3060.c3682 Also some added good news came from the announcement of these cards. The driver update for these new cards will cut the hash rate of crypto mining by 50% to help deter miners from buying up all the new stock. Fear not if you are a miner though as NVIDIA will be releasing a dedicated line of GPU for cryptomining. https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2021/02/18/geforce-cmp/ 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I'm going to be waiting at exactly 11pm CST (12pm EST) to buy one. Will probably be sold out within the first few minutes at all retailers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAPPERxDUCK Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 Well, the scalpers and bots struck again. Literally was refreshing a page for 40 minutes straight on desktop and mobile and in a split second, all stock across the board was sold out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alienware Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 And naturally, they all instantly went out of stock. (Newegg isn't even displaying them except in prebuilt systems.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral MacK Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Yet even more reason not to upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I was looking at Best Buy RTX 3060 products and before the launch a shit ton of idiots were asking if the cards would be good for mining. It infuriates me thinking about some rich fucks with bots taking all the stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I’m saying my guy, I was so pissed when someone came up to me mid conversation and said “do you know what the crypto hash rate is on those cards???” Like bro, LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE WITH THAT SHIIIIIIIIT BEFORE I TEABAG YOU FOR REAL!
