Trying to finish a new build and I can't find a card, how can I up my game on the searching? I have just been logging onto newegg, bestbuy and amazon each morning to look for any rtx 30xx stock and that clearly isn't cutting it. Are there tricks to snagging one or just keep camping the Ghoul Lord till it drops?

Tuesday mornings on BB - next one will be next tuesday or week after

Evga also has a email que for new stock with an 8 hour buy window. That's what I was banking on before I saw a restock post here
That list is a joke though. I signed up in mid October and still have not received a notification.

Also sign up for Apple Pay on Newegg if you have one of their products. It is instant checkout/pay and was how I beat the bots. There’s no need to enter card info, address, name, etc with Apple Pay. It’s just thumbprint and done

I don’t remember. I know Mist Mist had a 9/16 sign up and ended up getting hers from Best Buy before evga was able to notify
It's still there.

Only 1 of my notifies ever came through, for a 3070 that I didn't end up wanting.

Pretty much the same, I had notifies for 3060/70/80s and got 2 for 3070s. Picked up the first one, and my card was in the middle of an RMA when I got the second 3070 notification and I didn't feel like tying up an extra $600 to finish the build that bad.

Replacement card supposed to arrive next Wednesday.

I snagged a 3090 from the EVGA sign ups after 2 weeks I signed up. I might have been one of the first to do that though and it was before they announced how sign ups were going to work.

Anybody have good benchmarks for AMD cards vs. nVidia equivalent? I'm willing to accept a shittier card just to fuck nVidia, but I'm trying to get a gauge of bang for my buck.

If you don't care about raytracing, AMD is better by every metric

What cards? for 6800XT v 3080, ignoring ray tracing theyre pretty much equals, with the 6800XT having 16gb v 10gb on the 3080 which can have big implications.

This - RT and DLSS aside - 6800XT smashes on them all, couple that with SAM from a 5000 series and youve got even more performance at a lower price with more RAM.

It isn't that I don't care about ray tracing, it just isn't important enough to me to not fuck nVidia.

How long am I looking at for a 6800XT? I'm assuming months?

I thought about going AMD this gen but I'm locked into Nvidia due to my Gsync monitors I purchased early in 2020.
