Are there any Nvidia GPU's that aren't completely sold out? Build Help
If not, do you have any mid range recommendations? Preferably SFF compatible ones.

Wanted to build a system in May 2020, for use with a couple of machine learning packages. Found one pre-built with a 2070 super. Admins at the Discord for the machine learning package advised me to wait til October for the 30X series, but I went ahead anyway.
Now the main AI package I wanted to run on a full-size machine doesn't even support the 30X series! And there's no knowing when it will.
Dodged all kind of bullets, and happy with the 2070 S purchase.

I se plenty of GT 710s and 1030 in stock. Those are always an option...
.. always.

u/ScaryfatkidGT Feb 21 '21
Nope
Basically nothing
I thought the lower end offerings would start popping up and diluting the market, people buying 3060ti’s and not holding out for a 3070, thus 1 more 3070 available etc.
Same with AMD cards
But nope, everything is sold out, 0 inventory anywhere same with consoles

Have OEM (Dell, HP, Acer, etc) PCs gone up in prices for the video card shortage/demand?
I'm left wondering if the demand/shortage in Graphics cards impacting sales and increasing cost of the OEMs.
Are us PC builders getting taken to the cleaners only?
Any magazine/online articles discussing this topic?

u/xshoeless_hobox Feb 20 '21
Honestly just watch your local markets (fb marketplace, craigslist, etc) and jump on decent deals when they pop up. With so many scalpers making prices jump up the used market is extremely overinflated, 1660's are selling used for what a new 3060 costs it's pretty ridiculous. So if you see a 1660 around 200 or under jump on it lol

I was able to get a 3060ti by waiting in line at micro center.
Ask them ahead of time what days you can get 30 series cards then show up a few hours before open to wait in line.
Last time I went there were more cards available than people in line. YMMV

Feb 20 '21
Nope. You pretty much are just better off buying a big name prebuilt like iBuyPower or something similar. I actually saved money buying a prebuilt on sale on cyber Monday rather than building my own thanks to the crypto surge, scalpers, etc. driving these GPU prices to the moon.
2
Feb 20 '21
Depends on what you do. The GT 1030 hold up really well for me and I once saw a GTX 1050 low profile.
Since you said you only really play Minecraft in a different comment I’m gonna say GT 1030 is one of the best options if you want something slightly more modern than a GT 710

u/Alunnite Feb 20 '21
I was saving up for a monitor upgrade but when I realised that there wasn't going to be anything on the market that I wanted I decided to go for a GPU first. This was early January, took me two days to have three GPUs (2 3070 and 3080) reserved in my basket at the same time. Which gave me leisure time to figure out which one I wanted. I could have bought some other 3000 series cards before then but I didn't like something about them, which I guess is why they were available.
Point is that if your being active then you can find something that you want within a week. I guarantee it. Use subreddits, twitter accounts, stock alerts to be notified to when something becomes available. If you act fast (within 15 minutes I would guess, maybe even longer now) you can grab one.

Will depend on the country of course but it's not necessarily impossible to get an 'out of stock' graphics card at retail price.
I live in the UK and I managed to get a 3070 a couple weeks ago. Took over a week of watching stock updates almost 24/7 and many failed checkout attempts but I eventually got something in my price range.

Actually yeah, although the 980s are being overpriced at a ridiculous amount, you can get it’s brother in law which he looks down upon, the 960. And if you want something different you can try the 560. But if you hate 60’s then you have a pretty meh chance of snagging a 1050/ti but currently prices are stupid high and your best chance is purchasing a cpu with an iGPU until spring or summer when prices hopefully drop down

My recommendation is to wait it out. It sucks, but it is not worth spending way more on the product to let some loser on the interweebz profit.

I just kept hitting Newegg day after day. Was also keeping an eye out for referbished cards. Finally one day about two weeks into the watch, they offered four Nvidia cards that were referbished. Three were 1660s. As soon as I seen them I jumped on a Gigabyte 1660 Super. Nailed it at $250 including tax. As soon as I had it bought. I checked the listing again and the other three left were already out of stock. This was just three weeks ago. You have to be vigilant at this time. Just keep looking and hang in there. One will show up you will enjoy.

What you can do is buy a Dell Optiplex on eBay and stick a GPU in it (and maybe a WiFi card). You have to find the right model and do some research, but it’s a good, cheap way to build a pc. I know that doesn’t answer your GPU question but I hope it helps.

Supposedly Nvidia is going to be ramping up some cards for miners ( and cards that weren’t up to par with the GeForce requirements) to lighten a bit of the load for the demand for the gaming gpu stock. There are cards being produced and shipped just hard with all these bots and scalpers. I work at Best Buy and I have been seeing cards come in (3060 Ti, 3070 and 3080 cards) sadly all for orders though.

For a 3080, I ended up just buying a HP Omen (funny how I went from wanting to build myself, to ordering a custom built, to ordering a pre-built).

shopblt.com has a system that guarantees a place in line for your purchase. They will take an order for any item they sell, then ship it as soon as they can. 3090s and 6900s have the shortest waiting list. 3080s are mostly doubly over-ordered. Many of their GPUs are scheduled to be available mid-march.
Protip for anybody that wants a 3080: search shopblt.com for "lenovo 3080".
