Even if you can decide on what cards.. finding them in stock for a decent price is the hard part. As soon as I was ready for another purchasing round of MSI 7950's, they disco'd them. R9 280x's came into light and before I could complete the order, they were depleted.
Black Friday + Folks just starting to get into Crypto mining. Some OEM's were wiped out at the factory level even.
Friday I was able to snag 3 MSI R9 280x's from Amazon which are being delivered right now. I have all the cards I want in a single HTML list, and am constantly refreshing the page. As soon as a vendor shows in stock (for MSRP, I ignore the markup pricing), I buy them.
The market is crazy right now. Fuse, like I said before, let me know of 'offbrand' 7950/7970 or R9 280x's, and I will try one to see how I like it.
Yeah i buy them in Austria when i have the chance. Here in Netherlands every store is empty.
I try'd to get 2 extra HD6990 but some are being sold for the new price 2 years ago. So that is a no go.
