I had ordered that card from my supplier and it arrived yesterday with three EVGA GD 500W power supplies as a 1:3 bundle. It sold that day and same hour it arrived. Sorry for your loss.

Never even managed to get something in my cart on Amazon. It’s crazy how fast they get wiped out.

The same could be said about eBay allowing scalpers to scalp. They don’t really have any incentive to do so because money is money. It’s important for AMD and Nvidia because if gamers switch to consoles or quit gaming entirely, they lose a very loyal customer base for a very unpredictable one but the large retailers are going to get business regardless.

If you can get hold of a PS easier than a 3060 and it covers your need for gaming, then definitely go for it.

They aren’t that hard to get. TechRadar’s Matt Swider (I don’t know if we can post Twitter names here but if you search his name, you will find it) has been posting drops as they happen on Twitter. His alerts go off before the Discord servers I was on. Sony Direct’s random lottery system seems to be working very well for people also. I got a Xbox Series X the day after I added him. The alert came of a restock at Microsoft and I got in and checked out with no trouble. Unfortunately, I had already spent $1400 on my 5600X build the month before so I’m still looking for a video card to finish that build and finally retire my reliable but extremely slow EVGA 780 Ti SC w/ACX.

I am gradually despairing. my system is ready, only my video card is broken. Maybe I should sell what I have and buy a PS5. I do not know.

Yes probably sell it all and forget the PS5 just buy a tablet and save yourself the anguish and drama you are clearly experiencing.

Honestly I’m worried about the longevity of the PS5. It runs the VRAM incredibly hot. I opted to go for the Series X and wait for them to address the heat with a redesign. Gamers Nexus pegged the GDDR6 at like 94C and they estimate it’s closer to 100C because of how they had to place the thermocouples. Absolutely insane temps.

Hmm interesting you would think they'd purposely build the system so all the thermals would be nice. Is it common to run the VRAM hot?

It’s not common to run it THAT hot. I don’t know what chips Sony uses but Micron’s spec says 100C max and the Series X runs it at less than 80C.

Honestly I thought about a solution and came up with one that would benefit nvidia and amd while hurting scalpers. For a 3090 sell for 3.5k with an instant rebate. But to get that instant rebate you must enter your address and name into the system. If it shows you've bought before you are charged the 3.5k It can be something to run only during the shortage. Yes there are ways around that but it's better then just throwing them up on Amazon freely.

Yup need to limit may be at least one card pre ASIN per account too. That way bots cant just sit there buying. Maybe also cross-check the CC number and address used as well.

You gotta just ignore Amazon drops and go for Best Buy. Their API system isn’t perfect by any means but it’s a lot more fair than anything else.

I have had 0 luck with Best Buy Gpu’s, I did manage to randomly pick up a Ryzen 5 5600x though. Same with AMD, get them in the cart plenty, just can’t manage to check out. Frustrating.
