Hi,
Just an observation, but i see that the 3060 is in stock, i would guess at least 80+ cards still to sell at the time of writing (i see 10+ items for at least 8 different cards as i count it on ocuk site).

Whats great is that they appear to not to have instantly gone out of stock, does this mean that demand is dropping, (or supply catching up to demand at least) or can miners just not use the 3060 now? Or is there another reason?

If stock does manage to hold, if not for this delivery, perhaps the next or the one after, do we expect 3060s to drop back fast to RRP? My thinking here is that as soon as people see them in stock it will be a quick race to normal RRP values? As scalpers will have no reason to buy up if they stay in stock and the market will quickly go back to normal?

Can anyone speak to mining and if the miners are not buying up cards presently due to the volatile market and i heard something about China no longer allowing people to trade in cypto?

I see nvidia got a lot of flak recently for the 3070TI and 3080TI release due to their price/performance ratio, from my point of view the 3000 series only got so much love and attention for its massive increase in price/performance vs 2000 series, and what with the pandemic Nvidia with the Ti's is probably just trying to take more advantage of demand?
I would guess that we may see less stock of 3070 and 3080 out of Nvidia in favour of them releasing 3070ti and 3080ti at a better profit margin for themselfs? Conversly the 3060ti was great value for consumers as Nvidia where concerned with what AMD may bring to market, am i right that Nvidia are producing less or these cards due to lower profit margin for Nvidia?

Love to hear peoples thoughts?
i am close to picking up a 3060 but feeling that if i hold out prices may soon start to fall?
Or do people think i should just go for the 3060 at these prices? (see my Ancient 970 rig in the sig).
best regards all
