Title: GPU Availability (lack thereof)
Post by: dbc23 on May 21, 2017, 01:18:13 AM
Obviously given the broader market with Vega and a Geforce refresh on the radar for the next two quarters, combined with the resurgent profitability of mining there is a DEARTH of GPUs out there.  Even Newegg and Amazon are running short and there's virtually no rebates or promos combined with the few that are available.

Wondering if anyone has any alternate vendors that they're willing to share that might actually have some reasonable availability/pricing out there?

Depends on which GPUs you are looking at - I'm NOT seeing any shortage of NVidia, and the RX 5xx cards seem to be getting into reliable supply while the RX 4xx cards have mostly dried up.

 I'm still seeing "on sale" cards every day that I look too - just not always the same ones, and it DOES seem to be a bit fewer right now.

 You could check Frys and Tiger Direct, they're probably the next 2 biggest US-based retailers that carry GPUs at a competative price.
