Global GPU shortage thread.

[Orbital-Fetus]

i don't really need a new GPU now but i definitely want a 3070
so that i can pass my 1070 TI down to my girl's pc. how much
longer is this going to last? right now i can sell my used 1070 for
double it's MSRP. shyt is wild, covid really did crush the buildings.

hopefully my GPU's keep on keeping on.
my girl's 970 has some miles on it.

I feel like this shortage is a gift and a curse because it’s teaching people to slow down and appreciate their hardware more. nikkas doing everything in their power to get the most out of their builds because they have no choice but to at this point.

With the way things are going, you could probably make back the money you spent on your 970's by just selling it.

If you didn't get a GPU by February then you got fukked

yeah its crazy i sold a 1050ti lp that i bought for 200 like 4 years ago for 350 late last year.

Even the 1650 low profile that I have in my current rig I see them going ofr like 5-600 on ebay

Use your motherboard's shytty integrated video until prices drop?

or just check your local marketplace theres always an idiot selling stuff they doesn't know how much its worth

selling their sons old computer for 250 with a dedicated GPU etc.

I just ended up buyingba computer with a 3090 in it for 2 more racks than just the card by itself. This shortage is insane.

 

[Dirty Mcdrawz]

I’m in the same boat. I want to upgrade my 1070ti to a 3070 but these prices and shortages are crazy

 

[Pete Wrigley]

Got Pre-built with a 3060ti earlier this year. That bytch slaps

I bought it through ibuypower and it took a little less than a month to get delivered. I'd definitely do it again, if given the choice

You can wait or pay that preimuem now. But it's not ending any time soon

What exactly is the issue? The 5nm process has low yields? Scalpers? World running out of sand? Back orders?
