What happened to all the 3060s

They have sold out and general sales are GPUs increases further could be maybe because BTC has pushed back over 40k USD or just people buying them as so little stock available anywhere.

All the 6700XT are nearly gone also.

You mean those for the forum deal price?
 
Didnt Nvidia say they aimed to limit crypto mining on 3060s, by using a software to detect mining reducing it significantly or am i hearing things?
 
What happened to all the 3060s more like What happened to all the 3060Ti`s you never see them. even the FE` are very few.

I'm not sure people do. People are idiot's, so I doubt the majority do the maths to work out that they are paying more in power than they are mining.

+1 on idiots.
People don't realise they must be getting screwed by NiceHash if they are mining ETH and getting paid in bitcoin. It's not that much harder to setup Phoenix miner, for example. Anyone got any Ravencoin miner hot tips?
 
I was literally typing a comment here when my phone messaged me that 3060Ti are on stock. I thought, "let me try to at least click the link", 0 expectations. But, but, as soon as I clicked it asked me to solve a mathematic problem, took 12seconds, then the GPU was added to cart. Seriously? :)))) 390£ with next day delivery. Hope 100% reestablished
 
not sure if people relise this but it isnt anything to do with BTC at all, its just normal pc gamers ect who desperately want a new gpu ect and are willing to buy way over the odd prices for it, this in turn has made a HUGE scalping market.

i know a few scalpers and they buying as many of the 3060ti/3070 ect as they can get then selling them on ebay for upto 5x the price. A lot are using AI bots now to buy so as soon as card gets released it will be sold out within 5mins and there nothing you can do.

good example is this morning and the release of the 3060 FE, sold out within 5 mins lol.

solution....dont pay over the odds on ebay for cards! takes a idiot to pay 1000 for a card worth 360!

yes but not long after they released the cards they "accidentally" released a driver that gets past the LHR lmao.
 
Tbh, this morning two FE suddenly appear on FB Market for 850-900£/piece. Both available to collect from tomorrow. So 100% from the same batch of orders from yesterday. No other dropped for 3060Ti in the past week... This people make a living of this . At 360£ with 3-4days delivery time and on par with 2080S performance is OP for 1080p, value / performance.
 
When last gen cards like 1660 and 2060 are nearly £500 new on retailers, £600 for a current gen 3060/Ti isn't as bad as your making out! :p

People do need to stop buying from scalpers, but they still do it. So it will continue.
 
managed to bag myself a 3060 - really wanted a 3060ti or a 3070 but think i'll just wait for that until next year when the stock issues hopefully die down
