RTX 3060 Ti is launching this Wednesday (2-December-2020) at $399.99
- Thread starter Earvin Infinity
- Start date
my go-to was Canada Computers; they don`t get as much business, so you can actually see stuff there`;
Checked yesterday, and there`s even a few 3070s out there in stores in Ontario, :)
A few models flashed up as in stock for less than a minute on Currys. Managed to add one to my cart and attempted to check out at 14:01:30 and it wouldn't let me process the order.
Another paper launch it would seem.

FE is out of stock now, I literally bought it as soon as it went live, like within the first minute
It's not going to be $400 calm down.
Scalpers who buy all of these up with bots are gonna charge a minimum of $700.

Me too. Still waiting. I have shit to do, man. So I know that as soon as I go to do so, they're going to be sold out.
I think it is just high demand, 2000 series was bad so a lot of people skipped. And 1000 series was too soon after 970 which was very popular, new consoles coming out and Xmas means FOMO is really strong.
That was the same card I had in my cart. You must have beaten me to the punch by seconds.
You probably wouldn't have been able to check out anyway. I had in my cart and checked out before 14:02 but it was already too late. The rest of them went on about 5 seconds flat.
I'm wasting time sitting here waiting for BestBuy to put stuff up when I could have high-tailed it to Microcenter to grab one in person. And of course, with how things go, BB will go up and sell out in seconds and Microcenter will be sold out.
I wonder if Bestbuy US just....forgot? Or put in the wrong time for unlocking?
In terms of a 'literal' paper launch, this certainly isn't one, no.
But when the product has been out for going on 3 months, and you're still unable to meet demand due to incredibly small supply, fab issues or not, it certainly starts to feel like one.

Given my struggles to get the site to load earlier, I think that means 'out of stock, but we haven't loaded a different image for the can't buy option'
If you can afford it, you did the right thing mate, enjoy it
If we loosen use like that then AMD, NV, Sony and MS all just did paper launches through the H2 2020.
For around 60 to 80 euros more you can get a 3070, assuming stock is available.
That's all I see on any of the live card links. Even now I still don't see 'sold out'.
Seen this on Discord lmao
3070 is price gouged currently unfortunately, or just out of stock.
So PayPal were a dick on checkout and now my wifes name and the address of a house we still own but haven't lived in for way over a decade found their way onto my order. This was despite me logging into my own account as I have never logged into my wifes PayPal. At least PayPal says it used my money rather than my wifes tryingtogetmemurdered-card
You could buy Series X consoles all day when that launched. These cards went out of stock in under a minute. That's a big difference.
I don't really buy that. If you manually refreshed Newegg, for example, by the time something goes live, you'll get an "website down error". I find it borderline impossible any human can checkout between the time it goes live and the time the website crashes. I'm sure someone here will tell me they did, but it just seems like only a bot could purchase in that nanosecond window between no stock and the website crashing down.
....Yes, a lot of people HAVE been saying that, lol.
Less so in reference to consoles due to recency (and 'somewhat' less of a supply issue - hours versus seconds), but yes.
Scalpers certainly aren't helping, to be fair.
OC UK are slightly delaying their release. Have a look at this post on the forums.

And here is what easily happens when use of term is loosened to purely subjective perception.
To me as Finn current-gen consoles were sold out moooonths ago with zero stock availability before May-ish 2021, if even then. "Paper launch" to extreme.
GPUs from both camps have been total shitshow here too. 3060Ti is first time we have witnessed Ampere GPU that actually is in stock and not gone in seconds.
Minutes. If you weren't online for when PS5s went live, you didn't get one. Here in the UK, Amazon was up for the longest by far - about 8 minutes.
Eh, managed to add two to my basket on CCL when they went up, didn't buy them as I've got a 3070 and these were only like £30 cheaper than what I paid for that. Didn't seem as bad as the AMD launches, I didn't see a single one of those cards in stock at any point, at least with the 3060ti and 3070 I saw options to add to cart and stock showing on sites.
Some of the prices are stupid though, the Asus Strix OC is listed at £630?!

Yeah, the cooming soon stuff may just kill our chances. Let's hope we can grab one
