Congrats on your new card! I was beginning to lose hope for the 3060ti, which is still the absolute champion bang/buck card out of everything available today, provided you snag one at least close to MSRP. (which EVGA makes possible here!! Thanks EVGA! And thanks, atimelessred for the report.)

Interesting article on the GPU shortage:  https://www.pcworld.com/article/3612693/a-perfect-storm-why-graphics-cards-cost-so-much-now.html

The key takeaway for me was the idea of using a cloud gaming service in place of a GPU while waiting for your queue notify.  Testing it on my work computer (just Intel graphics) and it's not too bad.  Definitely need to test it some more today instead of doing actual work.

Well, the key take away for me was the 50,000 GPUs YTD (when article was written) sold on the bay and stock-x (whatever that is). An average “profit” of (very modest) $300 per card equates to $15,000,000 US.

Now, I can’t fault people to try to make a quick buck, but let’s make no mistake, if folks are buying those up, which they clearly are, they’re the enablers in this equation.

How this all relates to the queue is simple. The queue gives you a choice of two things; do you want to join the enablers and pay a premium to get your card now, or do you have the luxury and patience to wait however many months to get a card at MSRP?

This enabler talk is bull we need to stop shaming the consumer. Scalping is a by product of a failure on the supplier not the consumer. Stopping scalping should not be put on the shoulders of people trying to buy cards it is entirely the fault of the supplier. If cards were available there would be no scalping. We are way past the point of trying to stop scalping. Get your cards any way you can you are not enabling scalping it is going to exist with or without you.

..... spoken like a true .... ummm, scalper?
 
Lol. I'm not seriously accusing you of that, but I'm sure that's what scalpers want us to think. I fear miners wanting to mine are just looking at ROI, and the thought of playing games in the future on a card they were able to pay for with mining is very tantalizing. Also, a lot of what triggers/addicts gamers is tweaking settings, overclocking, temps, benchmarks, etc. Mining nicely ticks all those addictive boxes with its own metrics: hashrates, efficiency figures, VRAM temps, undervolting, rejected shares, daily and monthly profitability, etc.
 
They are hooked, and are willing to pay much higher than normal, and it's easy to understand why. Overwhelming temptation. And for the miners that also buy and sell, it ties into the whole gambling motive a little too. We don't really have any clue what the crypto market is going to do in the future. Could be great. Could be a disaster. The whole thing is an incredibly appealing "game" for some. 

I got the notify on 3657

What is an associate code I should use?

Does this disqualify me from buying a 3070 or 3080 down the line thru the queue?

Mine code works lol.  But no, the limit is 1 sku per household.

You can use any associate code 

Sure, they can use any code they like, but it feels more and more like you're attempting to capitalize on Enewt's dedication to this thread. I mean, you just joined ~4 weeks ago...just sayin'.

YakuzaShoeiSure, they can use any code they like, but it feels more and more like you're attempting to capitalize on Enewt's dedication to this thread.

I called it monopolization of this thread

I got mine too!

Use the code from the most helpful member.

Yeah I guess I meant to ask what enewt's code was lol.

How does the step up process work? Get put into another queue and wait forever? Does it just take MSRP difference?

Yes, there is a separate queue. You have to pay difference between MSRPs + sales tax for full amount + shipping. And you have ship your current card back at your expenses.

Man it seems like the 3897 completely lost its momentum AGAIN this week... No movement at all:(

As I said before blame the supply not the demand. It really doesn't matter what the motive is for people buying cards. It's like cable tv back in the day. It became too expensive so piracy became huge then Netflix came out and made things affordable and easy for consumers so piracy went down . Now there are too many streaming services all starting to charge too much so piracy is on the rise again . Piracy and scalping is a symptom of the supplier not being able to meet the demands of the consumer.
