    Once again, I saw tweets about cards disappearing from baskets during checkout. :duh:

    I just had a word with a friend who works at major UK distributor. According to him there's no mention of the cards rumoured to be announced tomorrow in their stock database yet. There are, however, 3060-based laptops in there but it looks like we might be waiting for the new GPUs

    That 3090 is actually looking like good value considering the crazy pricing elsewhere for High end

    I happened on this thread earlier today. With the tip about the 3090’s on Nvidia’s website I went looking. Clicked the buy button, which took me to Scan’s website. I sat there a little while mulling it over. Then I put together a new rig: mobo, ram, cpu, cooler etc.

    Fiancé was on a zoom call so I had to wait to grab my credit card.

    An hour later she gets of the call.

    I log back into Scan and bring up my wishlist ..... strangely the total price was much lower than I expected. I scrolled down ... the 3090’s are all sold out again.

    I’m now overclocking my PC to within and inch of its life.

    Possibly related: I ordered a GT710 and some other bits and it, alone out of all the billions of things I've ordered for the business over the winter period, mysteriously vanished. Tracking shows it reaching Sheffield, then nothing. ETA unknown.

    Part of me wonders if something on the packaging revealed that it contained something graphics card related and some postal employee couldn't let it pass them by on the off-chance.

    I hope they're really ****ing disappointed when they find out they stole a totally useless PoS office card.

    Everyone can get intel GPUs, you just wouldn't want to.

    so - to recap the CES stream:

    - nothing that you probably didn't already know about
    - you probably won;t be able to buy any of it any time soon anyway
    - please stop using 10-series cards you plebs, jensen needs more leather jackets

    Looks like Zotac & EVGA have followed Asus, and raised GPU prices by around $70 per card.
    EVGA will honour the old price for existing orders until April 16th.

    Cards I would like are few and far between and overpriced.

    Then they drop a 12gb 3060.

    I don't even want that and it'll be hard to find and overpriced. No way will it be about 300 odd dollarquids.

    Seems an odd decision to go with 12 GB on a 3060 when higher cards (capable of higher res gaming) have less. Probably falls into the camp of "bigger numbers is better" purchases but talk about screwing up your own product stack.

    They could have just made it 8GB and then release a 12GB super/ultra/whateversuperlativenext version for a mid cycle refresh.
