Question Details on Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti restock

[Busted Rose]

Does anyone happen to have any clue as to when the NVidia RTX 3060 Ti will be restocked? Or even the EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti XC as well? I'm desperately looking for it because it's the only thing I need to complete my build! Damn you bitcoin!

Patience and luck, patience and luck...

1)Best Buy appears to have drops every 2-3 weeks. They're also the only one with cards at MSRP - the FE models direct from Nvidia.
With Chinese New Year starting this week, I'd expect there to be a bigger gap before the next drop; BB had drops yesterday.

2)EVGA and some of the other brands have online queues in place. Sign up for those.
It's a ~long line, by the way.

3)Newegg Shuffle. Watch out, because they try to force combos on you.

4)Everywhere else. Good luck competing with the bots.

Well, this is going to be a pain.

Unfortunately so. This is a bad time to upgrade/build new.

Same... My 980 TI fried last week and all I want is a decent replacement without spending upwards of $700!
This is the first time I have had to deal with not being able to buy a computer part because it is constantly out of stock.

I need as many tips as I can get. How can I get it without being ever present at my computer and ready to buy? Are there specific days and times when I should look for restocks? I almost feel desperate enough to try to program an application to do it for me...

What I did was look arond for articles that gave information on restocks, though the problem are the bots that'll beat you to it. NVidia is going to end the shortage soon, but I doubt for not very long.

I got my 3060ti at microcenter. You just have to get lucky because they weren't even posted on their website yet when I got mine.

It's the most popular mining card right now because it can do 60MH/s at 130watts which makes it the most power efficient card. At that rate it can make you about $7 per day just sitting there and cost you $14 per month in power. That's about $200/mo in profit.

It's probably best to either buy a gaming laptop, or a used video card with a low hash rate that miners don't want.

If I could visit MicroCenter every day I would, but sadly a car can handle only so much of strain and so can my wallet. But that's why I do my best to get notifications when something is in stock because of the fact that I'm practically on the internet 24/7. Though there are just two GPUs that I'm looking for and those are the ones I've set my heart in stone to get. Either one of them that is.

I remember working next to the Microcenter in Houston...what a beautiful store tear. Unfortunately I no longer work there and am in WA where there is no store like it in sight.

I really hate the thought of buying a used GPU because I have no clue what the possible lifetime of the card could be. If I can't even get the 3060 when it releases maybe I'll just get a really expensive card that miners can't be targeting...

It just sucks. I feel like the PC building hobby as a whole is being threatened by this. It is way easier and convenient to buy prebuilts right now.
