Like everyone, I have been trying to buy a new graphic card for almost 2 years. I enter the Newegg Shuffle every day to try to win a 3060 or 3070 card, been doing it for a year and a half.
Yesterday, I won....however, I won something that I mistakenly clicked, sure it was a 3070ti card, but it was bundled with a motherboard, that I don't need, so that added 400 bucks more to the bill...so I punted on it. It came to over $1300, bad timing as my credit card was just banged for a hotel and a last minute flight purchase for me and my mate as we got stuck in San Diego trying to non-rev home (retired airline, free standby tix).
My bad.....still looking for a good 3060 or 3070ti. Best Buy has had a 3060 with one fan available lately, but I don't think it has enough umph for the dough ($649).
Oh well, the pipeline is getting a bit better in regards to graphic cards now that they are making cards that suck at bitcoin mining.
