That just feels like bad scalping. You can buy new, in stock with warranty for around that price...

So I just phoned them up to find out why I keep getting declined and apparently there's an algorithm that stops you getting more than 1 FE per household even if there completely different models.

I bought a 3090 way back In November last year, you'd think it would be 1 card per drop, not person. they still block you from getting another one almost a year later.

I'm clearly not a scalper

I got my 3060Ti in December when they were released, since then they changed the rules so now I can't get another card, the 3060Ti has served me well and will be shortly going into a friends daughters PC, he's then going to get me a 3080 and I'll pay him the difference between the 3060Ti and the 3080...

3090 Fe is tempting. Where are the 3080s lol.

Those 3090 have been in-stock allday!

RavenXXX2 · 5 Aug 2021 at 16:14

3080s will drop tomorrow I reckon.

Skynet5 · 5 Aug 2021 at 16:16

Top tip. If the 3090 is still in tomorrow, use it to keep up on the captcha so you don't have to do it when the 3080s drop lol

It's the one card per address thing, people have run out of mates and family members and so cards sit there lol

Yeh. Sort of makes the 3060ti and 3070 FE the better cards value wise as you can likely make back more money mining on them for the rest of the year (ie before eth mining stops).

I thought all cards are lhr now?
Badded a 3070 earlier.

I'm pretty sure only the 3070ti and 3080ti FE are LHR.

The other FE cards are still non LHR I believe. However all AIB cards are now LHR.

That's how I understand it anyway.

I think it's silly How's its 1 card per customer no matter what card.. I wanted to get an RTX for my twin (yes he has a Titan xp but still..) I understand 1 type of card per customer but 1 card overall is infuriating to say the least! I won't pay over MSRP so I guess I'll be keeping the 3060 Ti in till the 40 series...

Agreed. People genuinely might want to upgrade from cards they bought at the start of the year by now.

I think they should make it perhaps 2 per customer now.

I think 1pc is fair stops Scalpers / miners , how would they know who are genuine buyers ? Increasing it would only make it worse availability to the genuine people anyway look at the auction site even with 1pc still getting loads scalping

It’s difficult to police, so it is fair in the short term.
