3060Ti

[benparker]

Got my Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8GB GAMING OC PRO, nice upgrade from a 1060 6GB!!

How much?

Are people really buying this expecting to hit 144 1440?

I dont know ...Just gave a heads up

 

[omarlilyo]

e-tailers palit cards sold out at £510...

I hit 80 - 100 fps playing RDR2 at High settings with my 2070 Super. 1440p144z shouldn't be too difficult with a 3060ti if you tone down a couple settings.

Might be a good idea to suspend creating new forum accounts and allow access only to registered users. Might get rid of a few scalpers.

Good idea!

Well a bog standard 2080 went for £400 on the mm earlier, so I think £369 for a brand new faster card is pretty good!

Yeah the card is ok, this guy said it was the greatest value card ever. I don't agree.

I just wanna try a new gen GPU... RTX 3080 or 6800 XT Plz.

Been running my i7-4970 + HD7950 pretty happy for a few years... need a GPU update only because I got a Quest2 to try out VR. Started my research 2 weeks ago, and it is pretty crazy to see what the market is like.

It's kind of a perfect storm:
Brexit
Cyberpunk release
Xmas time
Lockdowns mean people (who haven't had job issues) have more to spend due to not spending on other things all year
Biggest performance increase since the heady days of the 9700Pro which was well ahead of its time
Cards being great for mining and bitcoin surging to near its ath

All that rolled into crap stock thanks to the pandemic and it's just created a disaster.

Cancel brexit, at least get one of those issues out the way haha

Ah yes, I forgot about miners! Of course, these buy directly in China, straight from factories... I've seen vids not long ago of bunch of trucks coming to the factory in China, then packing them to the brim with GPUs for mining - before even distributors could get their hands on said cards.

I really do not see when there will not be over 500 people viewing the page so will be waiting forever

Can we not go down the pre-order line? fancy that's is the only way.

I'm not sure pre-ordering with 100% payment upfront would go down well again, left a bitter taste with people waiting for RTX3080. For me a £50 non refundable deposit would be a better way. At least that way OCUK would know you are serious about purchasing .........

I am afraid not as its caused too many issues on these big launches, so moving forward were not allowing that for time being.

They could release really early or really late in the day (post 9pm or pre 9am) would probably be quieter.

Why would you want to tone down settings on a new card ? .... Just buy what works best on the resolution and refresh rate you opted in for without compromises

 

[AidanCO06]

so its 100 % guaranteed the 3060 ti wont be available today ?

its actually nice to see a retailer taking some form of responsibilty on the release of the cards.
I work in ocean logistics so I can imagine youre having enough headaches with that and the prices increasing without these silly launches.

The moment there is a post in the forum there will be 10,000 people on the page because people will post to discord etc.
One of the cheapest 3060's and potentially one of the only stock pockets left in UK is going to be hammered.

No easy solution if the backend doesn't block overselling.

The prices are pretty skewed across the board at the moment it has to be said

It'll take good availability of new hardware to even things out.

I think for some people, even on mid card, if they can't achieve that on Ultra, then the card sucks. But that's not how it works... Often it's just one setting amongst many (like silly fog in BL 3!) that can be safely decreased for even 30% more FPS!

Frustrating that I'm not going to be able to get a 3060ti. Another missed upgrade opportunity :/ Back to trying to nab something second hand.

@Gibbo - assuming you do make the Palit 3060tis available at some point soon, are they in stock for immediate shipping, or would us end users not be getting them for a few weeks?
