I don't think it's a accurate comparison. We need relate to something that many people want at heighten prices and the supply isn't there.

If you want a better example, look at the sneaker market. Numerous skate shops are dividing stock between loyal clients and others.

this sounds rich considering the market situation atm.

There's plenty of stuff out there. If you really just need a card for AutoCAD, you could pick something up second hand for ~£100.

Maybe they should offer every account one at a time based on sign up date then?

Im an elderly key worker who has been using the site since 1990. Can I have a card please? It will replace my Radeon 9700 Pro nicely.

not really. my day job is using CAD software and we dont use 30 series cards in our machines. if you need a card that badly you would be getting an older gen card which is readily available until the stock situation on the 30 series stabilises.

AutoCAD is what it’s struggles to load. If it was just AutoCAD it wouldn’t be an issue but architecture in our degree year isn’t just that. It’s also sketch up, rhino, photoshop, indesign, lumion etc etc....

Maybe focus this thread on the 3060 Ti cards?

Yes please !

Go discuss it in your own thread. Especially as its not even been proposed by OCUK that it is going to happen.

Gibbo already ruled out priority for locksmiths.

Do we have any theories as to what may or may not happen regarding the release?

I’m not necessarily saying that I NEED a 30series card, I was initially just replying saying that I don’t have a card at all. But even trying to pick up a 20series card is costing well over £600 right now. So it doesn’t make sense? Doesn’t mean I haven’t tried tho.

but what you’re saying could also be applied to most other people who are already running their games fine but just want that extra boost in performance.

When you consider the level of performance from the 3000 series and the prices the 2000 series are still going for on the second hand market, there's no real reason to go for 1st gen RTX if you ask me.

you are right in this, im not disputing that fact.

I mainly just find it funny that there is a sudden influx of new forum members who have only posted in this thread.

Salty, that's what this thread is. So many people here fall into the "entitled" category.

entitled being people who have spent time involving themselves and interacting with the OCUK forum community?

There's one. 50 salty spotter points.

Sure, but the "How will we ever do our work??" thing is a bit much.

Think new signups should be stopped on the forum if you ask me while this thread is being derailed.

I find that the salty ones are the newcomers who barge into the forum and complain about the veteran forum members and the possibility of allocated stock exclusively for them.
