Didn't they used to release the base version and then some time later release a Ti? I don't understand the Ti first at all.

Are you guys paying MSRP when you manage to snipe from regular retailers? Or do you not even care at this point?

Yeah, MSRP from retailers. They don’t jack the prices up according to ebay listings, they list at MSRP. That’s why bots rape every stock drop, they’re getting them at MSRP to resell.

The 3060 Ti in this generation is a cut down 3070. It uses the GA104 die. The regular 3060 will use the GA102 die. The reason the 3060 Ti came out first this generation is they are already making 3070s from the GA104 die and all the minorly defective dies can just be cut down into 3060 Tis. They haven't started selling anything off the GA102 die yet. Similarly, once the GA102 die parts start selling, the 3050 Ti will be a cut down 3060 from the new die.

Buddy missed getting a 3080 at microcenter by 2 people this morning, ended up buying an MSI gaming x trio 3070 for like $600.

Poor sap.

So I put my 3090 Gigabyte card on ebay and decided to keep the FE. The buyer is claiming the LCD is scratched though, and wants $250 back so they can "get it repaired". As far as I know the card was immaculate when I boxed it up. Sounds like a scam right?

I really, really, really hate ebay and I'm kicking myself for not just keeping the damn thing. Thoughts on whether I accept the return and then return the FE to BB? or give this guy $250?

I have no idea I’ve never sold anything on eBay. What happens?

If a buyer claims they received a rock, ebay sides with them over the seller 99.9% of the time. This is kind of reversed though.

I'm actually more worried if I tell him to send it back to me he'll scratch the shit out of it like some evicted tenant destroying the place on the way out. It's actually very tempting to just pay him his demand and just let him live with his scam all the way to judgement day. I'll definitely lose some money on it but nobody builds high end systems because they're scraping for beer money so in the grand scheme of things it's a lesson learned: Deal locally only.

I’d ask for a picture of the scratch and to see the quote on this “fix” he’s getting at the least.
