B-stock drop happening

I missed it. Do you know if there were any 30 series cards up? There are still 20 series cards but that feels like a step back with the pricing.

was hoping to get any Non-LHR -KR 3060, or any lower end card, for my work bench...I'm about to waterblock all my remaining cards now that watercool has finally launched the heatkiller ftw3 block...sadly, am always just a little too late

Yes there were. I saw a 3060, 3070, 3080 Ti XC3 Hydro Copper and a 3080 Ti FTW3. The prices were laughable as you only get a 1 year warranty and the prices were only $20 off current MSRP.

Yep, there were 3060, 3060Ti, 3070, 3070Ti, 3080, and 3080Ti... at least.  A number of variations for each, LHR and non-LHR. 

I had a 2080 in my cart and was debating. Total pricing was ~700. I held off because that's about that I would have spent on a 3070, didn't really feel worth it.

 
There's a heap of 20XX series cards on B-stock at the moment..

edit: never mind, I see someone already mentioned it a few posts prior.
 
2080 blower style there, great for SFF builds.. I'd grab that if I didn't already have a 2070 Super blower in my Mrs' SFF build.
 
 

Thor's Day...may destiny shine on your inbox for it is certainly shining on the DIY Tool. 3987, 3955, 4879, 4878, 4868, and 3797 are all in the tool this morning (as of 8:35 am PT). The 3955 is a bit of an anomaly as it was available for the queues (back in September 2021) and then replaced by the 3953...but has now reappeared in the DIY Tool.    
 
I watched the new Vikings show on Netflix...predictable but...reasonably enjoyable for my covid-addled brain.  
 
Best of luck today!

* In the absence of information from EVGA about the respective tiers (EVGA score cohorts), the EVGA Queue Summary will report the latest timestamp report received (I'll assume that it comes from a registrant with a superlative EVGA Score (i.e., the highest tier) who has no prior history of buying a 30 series card from the EVGA Queue); Queue 3.0 rows in the summary will not include an "elapsed time" italicized parenthetical. 
 
May your remaining wait be shorter than you anticipate; it is already longer than you deserve.

Dented, scratched and refurbished...is my understanding.

Rather scary after hearing about miners destroying their GPUs and then sending them back under warranty...

B-Stock is fine if the prices offered any kind of value over new. Unfortunately that’s not the case here. Sure, you may get lucky and get a brand new step-up return that still has plastic on it… but you may also get a 12 month old card with 8000+ hours on the clock. Remember, step ups took a very long time (in some cases over a year) and you got to use your old gpu the whole time waiting. The only reason to buy one today would be if you couldn’t find a GPU and this was a last resort. Makes no sense since availability is getting better and prices are coming down in the used market (where you get a transferrable warranty from EVGA with remainder of three years, although still an unknown how it was used). DIY would be a great alternative if you didn’t have to buy an overpriced PSU and mouse, but you’d get the full warranty and chance to step up. Newegg seems to be another regular option these days as well. To each their own, but I wouldn’t buy these at the current prices.

they'll clean them up and make sure they are working 100%...then you get a one year warranty. It's basically used cards or customer returns. They also use them for warranty replacements.

thank you.
its kinda laughable that they make sure they are working like new (100%) but only warranty them for 1 year instead of 3 for very close to the price of a new one.

I imagine this happens at a much lower rate among miners than regular users.

 
yep. mining has under 1% failure rate.
 
gaming has much more.
 
reasons are very simple
mining
a 3090 gets set to around 285 watts and never goes higher
a 3080 gets set to around 230 watts and never goes higher
a 3070 gets set to around 130 watts and never goes higher
a 3060ti gets set to around 120 watts and never goes higher.
 
In gaming every card above goes to tdp often 
 
3090   350 watt tdp
3080   350 watt tdp
3070   220 watt tdp
3060ti 200 watt tdp
 
and races up and down often.

Also, most miners set their fans at 100% regardless of temps...and also have supplemental cooling
