Hi,

I need a GPU for my new system. I did have a 1660 Super ordered but got an email to say there was a stock error and it's no longer available (ffs)

When will AMD/Nvidia be back in stock? Next week or two? Months?

I'm not after a brand new 3080, more a 1660/5600XT/2060 etc - something along those lines anyway.

How long am I going to have to wait?
 
I don't think anyone knows. Blame Miners, Covid, Scalpers and so on, but the gamers are being denied cards, and there is no sign of an ending to it yet. If it's any consolation there are many, many people the same as you in the same mess ( including me ) .
 
There are 1660 Supers about, at >£200/50 which at this point isn't worth it imo. There are 2060s around too, but at more like £400, wut.

There's a sticky, 3rd post down with info for OC store. See latest posts. (Graphics Cards forum)

At this point the high end cards will probably be first to be available due to higher markups. Nobody knows true availability. Just expect to wait till May till reasonable prices and availability level out, any sooner then it'll be a bonus :)
 
It's a nightmare at the minute! It's either I get one or I use a 960 which isn't ideal. Can get a 5600XT for £320ish, good deal?
 
There are so many variables at play it's impossible to know. I would recommend looking in the MM but if you're in the US that'll be an issue...

I know of someone who bought a 3080 from China or somewhere and still isn't any closer...

No GPU is a good deal right now unless it's a say an 3060ti at RRP, which just doesn't exist sadly.

The 5600xt could be had for less than £320 on release, so now it's just poor investment.

Is your 960 that bad, about to die style?

With the bitcoin prices going up and mining picking backup it is only going to create even more shortages of GPU's

I honestly think its this that is causing most the problems, with Covid supply issues and natural lockdown demand (demand outside of mining) being a secondary factor.
 
excuse the question but why exactly is there such low stock ? It was difficult finding a place to get the RM750X in the UK. And I hear GPUS are the same.
 
The problem with he 960 is I've just bought a 165hz monitor and don't want to be playing Warzone at 40fps...

Anyone got any ideas how to get a GPU at this stage? Getting desperate lol...
 
I am considering a card from Japan on ebay... There's a 1660 Super Ventus XS on there for £293 free p&p - opinions? Would I have to pay some sort of import duty?
 
Think I'm just gonna bite the bullet and buy a used one then from ebay, might end up costing £250-£300 but I'll just erase it from my memory and move on with life :D
 
Ended up buying a 1660 Super Ventus for £250... Spotted it on eBay and it was local so messaged the seller and made a deal.

Not ideal but no more worries.
