Get the EVGA card if it's from a retailer or EVGA. Don't buy from scalpers.

Do you have access to the EVGA Marketplace on the forums?

You are asking on EVGA forums... what do you think the answer will be here?

I have the MSI RTX 3070 GAMING X TRIO OC and the EVGA RTX 3070 FTW3 Ultra. The EVGA card runs cooler and is more stable. Small sample and not the same card as the OP, but just sharing my experience between the cards I have.

EVGA seems to be one of the few not gouging the market also.

Ya for sure you can get gpu's at msrp at EVGA. Newegg with the shuffle was good a couple of months ,now Newegg is just scalping the gpu's. Way overpriced above MSRP might as well shop EBAY for a gpu.

Speak for yourself. First time on a forum? It's called sarcasm. Obviously people have different hardware and can even have multiple cards... when you go to the forum of said manufacturer, what results do you expect to achieve? Do you think people will tell you to buy an MSI card here over an EVGA card, or and EVGA card on the MSI forums? Get real bruh. That whole "there is no such thing as a stupid question" comment is a lie. This OP doesn't care anyways, he just wants a GPU for scalper prices. They would buy a ZOTAC for those prices if that's all there was. And GPU's don't have unique features and abilities, some perform and some don't. Plain and simple. Buy some scalper priced goods and move on. No love here for ya.

Nice book, where can I buy one? Those are MSRP prices (1600, 1650) with tax and shipping. So what's your point it's not a scalper price.

Neither. 3080 Ti is a terrible value. Neither is "cheap".
ASRock Z77 • Intel Core i7 3770K • EVGA GTX 1080 • Samsung 850 Pro • Seasonic PRIME 600W Titanium
