Yesterday at 9 AM EST, Nvidia began taking orders for the all-new Geforce༒ RTX 3070. What is widely expected to be the new king of mid-range performance, reviews promise a card that can c𒅌ompete with the RTX 2080Ti at less than half the cost.
Only it’s not really half the cost because you couldn’t actually buy one. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Just as with the RTX 3080 and 3090, the RTX 3070 sold out every🐼where pretty much as soon as it went on sale.
This is incredibly frustrating for PC gamers, especially when you consider the fact that Nvidia 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:delayed the launch⛦ of the RTX 3070 by two weeks to ensure that they'd have more inventory available on launch day. Nvidia promised not to have a repeat of what happened with the 𓄧RTX 3080/3090, where bo🌄ts and scalpers purchased the entire stock only to start selling GPUs on eBay for twice the price.
It was so bad that even PC parts manufacturer 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:MSI got ca�🎀�ught scalping their own cards.
Nvidia's website didn't even show an option to buy a 3070 on launch day. It went straight fro༒m being able to sign up for notifications to "sold out", redirecting prospective purchasers to Best Buy. This was even more frustrating as Best Buy's website often allowed customers to get all the way to the pꦦayment options screen only to find their order canceled during the processing step.
Just reading of trying to purchase a 3070 is﷽ enough to convince anyone not to bother.
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Analysts had predicted that the RTX 3070 would be a repeat performanc🌱e of the ༒3080/3090, and they were right. You can now spot listings on eBay for the RTX 3070 at sometimes its MSRP of $499.99.
With websites once again offering notifications for when they’re able to restock, it looks like very few people will be getting a new Nvidia GPU this holiday season. Maybe 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:AMD's launch will be a bit smoother, but somehow, I doubt it.
