is a 3060ti a good buy nowadays with raytracing becoming more and more prominent? My 2080s has issues with raytracing at 1440p in most games now. DLSS helps but its not a 100% solution.

if by "good buy" you mean 1440p at 60fps at max settings, then no. if you're willing to turn RT down to medium or whatever to get 60fps, then yes

Shows in stock at my store again.


Edit: Now " Sorry, we're having a system issue, but it should only be temporary. "

Edit 2: Got to try a few more times, now not available within 250 miles again.

Ray-tracing is a graphical dessert, but it's not something that should make you skip a big dinner for a larger dinner.

Eh that's a dumb analogy but seriously you don't need ray-tracing and games won't require it.

Now BB can't even show my cart. Just keeps saying "Our site had a glitch. We'll be back shortly." An absolute heaping pile of garbage.

I'm done.

Lined up at 6am and got an FE at Microcenter in Brooklyn. It's cold here, but I was around the corner from the entrance. The poor people in front had to deal with the wind coming off the Gowanus canal, just brutal.

Wow, I can't believe I got one. Pickup available the day before Cyberpunk! Now, i'll have to go through the pain of selling my 1080.

Tells me stores around me have it, immediately select store and checkout and it's no longer available. OR select store, checkout and it says they still have it but the pickup date changed. Hit checkout again and it's now gone. Like WTF, why not let me checkout with the changed date instead of telling me the date changed then being out when I try to checkout again.

Now Best Buy is telling me "Unavailable Nearby". Ugh, what a disaster. Why have store pickup in the middle of a pandemic?

I was able to pick one up from Best Buy Mobile app, store pick up only, no shipping option, looks like store pick up 12/10. Looks like my credit card already got charged. This is hopeful.
I literally have a 3080 MSI VENTUS in my cart as we speak but best buy is giving me errors on available stores for pick up (on both the app and the website).

Fuck 😑.

If this purchase goes through, I'll immediately sell my 3070 for $500 cash (or $500 plus shipping depending on how I feel).

Now I have a store selected and it says system issue...I inch closer then get punched again.
Fuck, I'm having the same problem...

I finally got to the fulfillment page and there's no store within 250 miles of me where I can pick one up and there's no option to have it shipped. I'm so done with this shit, lol

In a way I appreciate this because this system would probably cause a bot to crash

Might be fully dead on Best Buy now (if it was ever alive?). Have not need a wave of availability at any nearby location in quite a bit now.

I haven't had any luck yet, but mine was just going to be for personal gaming use.

I hope the scalpers that need these to resell and put food on the table were able to get some.

I guesa we all suffered together on not getting one. I hope geforce now works good with cyberpunk. And remember, dont buy one of these cards for more than retail. Scalper pricing isn't worth being impatient over. I will probably just wait until next year.

I was able to reserve one at a Best Buy 2hrs from where I live. How likely is it that I drive all the way out there next week, and they won't have it?

Why does it make you select a store again when your date changes? Just let me buy it and tell me to pick it up tomorrow instead of today.
