The wait is over, finally! Waking up at an odd hour for these new GPU launches ended up totally being worth the effort. I definitely hadn't expected to see it today... Even with how close I was, I had expected at least another week or two if not more before I got that email. I'm pretty sure I correctly used Enewt's code.

Folks, don't despair, there is light at the end of the tunnel. As far as I can see in the price comparisons, prices seem to be dropping in the EU for the first time in weeks. The 6700XT has made a start and is currently available for a still expensive 800 EUR. A month ago, however, it was over 1000 EUR. That goes through all models. The RTX2070 has dropped from 1400 EUR to 1000 EUR. I can't predict the future, but if this continues, it may at least return to the slightly inflated (but affordable) prices of 2020 by winter 2021. We probably won't see list prices again for the foreseeable future.

What is also noticeable, the lowest prices (if one can speak of "low" at all) are offered by the scalpers on Ebay. Which leads me to believe that they are working with higher prices than the established distributors and are dumping the cards quickly before the prices drop further. These folks are usually well informed and see trends early.

Perhaps saturation is slowly setting in, possibly all mining farms are now full with RTX and XT cards, spare capacity at chip factories has finally kicked in after months, shipping routes are stabilizing (possibly due to lower Covid numbers), and mining locks are making further RTX purchases unattractive. Admittedly, my crystal ball is not very reliable in this regard and the reasons are certainly more complex. But the observable prices are clear.

Everyone has to decide for themselves when their personal pain threshold has been reached; that's not up to me. Therefore, I cannot and should not encourage anyone to hold out. But at least this positive trend from the other side of the pond I wanted to share with you.

I have a feeling more and more miners are buying less cards due to dropping profitability as they prepare for the changeover to ETH 2.0, and even if that doesn't come soon, ASIC's are on the horizon if it doesn't. I think miners are sitting back waiting to see what happens right now. You can see it in the used market on eBay. 1080 Ti's were going for $900 to a little over $1,000 recently. Today, you'll be lucky to get over $800 for one.

Not sure why you're responding to me with this since I didn't do the step up queue nor did I trade with anyone who did???

Orange you glad you stayed off the forums yesterday? It was like (and still is at some parts) “Avengers: Civil War”. 🤣

How are those kerbs coming? Don’t forget to straight line the chicanes every other lap 🥸 (that’s the closest thing I can find for Mansell)

Looks like no hybrids again.
Maybe next week.

Grats all.

Hi, I just made a reservation by email of a RTX 3070 TI from Italy. Will CET time be taken into consideration for the 8 hours available for purchase?
Thank you

What card and what time in the queue did you have?
