Ordered 5 1070ti on Amazon 449$ each. Awesome price in today’s market EXCEPT they may never show up!

At least you locked in the price for when they do become available and they will ship right away.  I keep hearing people say nothing will be restocked till Feb but I am hoping that is not the case.  Many of the different hardware components on Amazon say mid jan restock so I am hoping that this applies to GPUs as well.

Newegg, BHphoto, microcenter all have them.

Amazon loves to push back restocking dates, don't get your hopes up. Worst case scenario you can just cancel the order, Newegg still has a blower 1070ti for around ~530 USD IIRC. Not sure about the other sites and availability.

I don't like buying 6 at a time from Amazon anymore, unless it's a third party seller that doesn't charge sales tax.  Most of the third party sellers are price gouging right now though.  Other places that don't have facilities in my state are much better.  BH is at the top of my list.  No sales tax unless you live in New York ... Free and fast shipping.  You just have to be ready and buy when they have stock ... Wait an hour ... They may all be gone.

None of these places have any in stock unless you are talking about the resellers asking for 1k and up.  There are zero in stock across all the major distributors. Dont just tout random places. There is shortage and I wouldnt expect any to be available for a few weeks, and if they do they will sell out in under a hour like the last batch 3 days ago on Newegg.

Im not "touting" random places. I literally just bought from all three.

Newegg does have some in stock, but they are $900. Not too mention Best Buy says they do too.

Those are resellers with a crazy markup, click on the buy it options its not from Newegg, no one is actually buying those....I hope.  They are listed on bestbuy as well until you click on them to find a store and there are none available.

I was at Newegg's HQ today since it's close to my house. They won't be getting much this week. They have a backorder of about 4k cards. Supposed to be getting a large shipment on the 22nd.

CA 10% sales tax is absolutely painful - but being able to do an RMA in 5 minutes is nice (video card companies have office right next to Newegg on Rowland Heights except MSI in Walnut and EVGA in Brea).

That is very important to know, thank you for sharing the date. I will be consistently refreshing Newegg every hour or so around the 22nd. Hopefully many of us can get the cards we have been trolling for.

You're right about selling out in an hour.  I watched some 1070ti's that I got a notification for from BH sell out in 45 minutes.  I also got another notification yesterday that they had 1080ti's in stock.  I was lucky enough to get six of them, but they were gone in less than an hour.  You have to sign up for the notifications and be ready to buy as soon as the email comes.

How long are you waiting for? I have the same situation. I asked Amazon, but there is no ETA.

Weird. I on the other hand was told that the 1070 TI would arrive anytime within 1-2 months. When I asked for a more specific timeline they said anytime between Feb. 1-26.
Considering worst case scenario, Feb. 26 which is more than a month from now is a long time in mining. You would have already earned much by picking another GPU available today and already mining with it.

When did the Amazon tell you this?

There is a lot of demand for gpu's due to which the cards get sold out quick and it takes time to restock.

This is why mining sometimes takes a backseat to buying coins. When the market is calm and cards are readily available people who mine have the safety hedge of having their hardware value.

I bought a boatload of ETH in December knowing full well my farm would never be able to mine that much even in 3 years of future mining, let alone ETH going POS soon.

When card prices become insane it's important to step back and look at things rationally instead of with exubarance. It's like getting into a bidding war for a house in a heated market - don't buy with emotion (greed in this case).

2018 could very easily repeat 2014 again. Sure everybody says "there's no way I would ever sell my crypto for a loss" - they said the same in 2014. Let a coin go down 80% and people panic and get out.

No shit?  Lol.  We have a fucking genius in the house.

 Newegg has been completely out of 1070 ti cards other than "massive markup reseller stock" far more of the time than not since the holidays.

 SOMETIMES you can sneak an order in right after they get a restock on a specific card though - like the MSI I just received yesterday.

 I've had more than a few notifications that by the time I saw the notification the card had already sold out again the last couple weeks.
 I've pretty much given up on asking for notifications at this point.

Does someone have any news?

I paid 589 for a 1070ti a week ago on newegg.  Now, they are mostly listing regular 1070s at 689 or 699.  and tis for 719.  There is, however, an occasional listing of a ti for 569 but they are always in stock on the site but out of stock once you add it to the cart. 

Amazon has these. never heard of the brand. Was $520 yesterday. https://www.amazon.com/Muxika-Colorful-Graphics-1683MHz-DirectX/dp/B079GQJ9PB/ref=sr_1_55?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1518388530&sr=1-55&keywords=1070+ti

Someone should "include installation" and have amazon send some guy to build your mining rig.

Never heard of them.  Can't seem to find out much about them either.

Has anyone received the promised cards from the Amazon, or everyone still waiting?

Lol ... That would be funny.

I've pre-ordered from them before and they showed up.  

I've pre-ordered several other mining-related things besides cards from Amazon recently and they mostly shipped around their estimated dates. Amazon's usually pretty good with preorders unless they're very heavily backordered like with Vega a while back.

I have been waiting for a few months for these to come down in price. Everything is sooo expensive it feels like they are playing games with us and how they are holding back selling these cards.

ordered a 1080ti from amazon 2 weeks ago. it just shipped.

I've been waiting for my god damn Zotac minis ($459) since 12 Jan with Amazon. And guess what! 3 weeks ago they removed the estimated delivery date!

Anyone have an opinion on 1070ti vs 1080?  I am waiting on the 1070ti prices to come back down because I have read they consume less power than the 1080, and for the increase in hashrate you would get with the 1080, the power consumption makes it a wash.

at least they kept your order and didn't cancel and say you can trying buying again at the new higher price like some places.

whats this can you hire amazon servers, is it profitable?

Amazon has been running a "cloud" service for many years - and no, it's NOT profitable to use it to mine with even if you don't get caught doing so (it's a violation of TOS to mine on their servers due to the "excessive load" mining puts on them).

1070 ti and 1080 at their most efficient point (around 104 watts) tend to have better hashrate out of the 1070 ti *BUT* I do have a couple cases where the hashrate is the SAME (Zotac Mini, EVGA SC).

1080 tends to want less +core and usually doesn't handle as much +ram before it goes unstable.


 Down side, at NORMAL pricing the 1080 was around 10% more expensive for "same model" cards.
