Where are the GPUs? Tips welcome.

[OgNasty]

I’ve been trying to get my hands on a 5700xt or 3080 at msrp for a while now with no luck. I admittedly haven’t put in much work other than searching websites and clicking the alert me when in stock button, so I’m wondering if anyone out there has some tips or tricks to get their hands on these GPUs. Feel free to share your success stories going forward as we all fight each other for available stock like it’s Black Friday and the doors just swung open. Thanks!

I’m in the same boat. Can’t seem to find any anywhere apart from scalpers on ebay. Ideally a 3080FE is what I’m after.

Important thing, where are you from?

There are some tricks you can use to have a chance to buy, like twitter bots that tweets everytime a GPU enter on stock - this option will depends on which country you live


You can use Distill Web monitor: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/distill-web-monitor/inlikjemeeknofckkjolnjbpehgadgge?hl
This is a Chrome extension, you can select the page of GPUs on your web site of preference, and the extension will notify you when the store make any change on that page

With these 2 options you can increase your chance to buy some GPUs, I only bought with these tools

This video on youtube can help you too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBBnkHPGQ4w
It's a live stock alert, and if you look on text, there are some info about twitter and discord alerts

I know it's not easy to do this, but scalpers are using bots to buy, so it's better to use the same tools

And the alert of websites are not working properly, because some people manage to buy in a few minutes, no time to send alerts

Edit to add I picked up a couple and am hoping I regret not getting the limit of 5.  Took about 30 minutes to sell out.

What kind of website is this? Looks like a scam platform to me, anyways Im sure that ognasty isn't a new member on this forum so I expect him to know better, the fact is you can't get RX5700XT at it's MSRP again, not even now that Ethereum is surging and mining is even more profitable lol

I just went through msi official website now and I shows that this bhphotovideo.com is one of its trusted retailers, sorry for the wrong comment, as for other stores on msi they've sold out all their rx5700xt, it's going to be tough to get this card at msrp price

AMD official website leads me to tmall.com, though its a Chinese store and I've been able to buy few gpus at cheaper price over there compare to amazon or ebay where price are too high, if you don't have anything against chinese websites you can give tmall.com a try

[Eco_111]

Also I was able to find few RX5700XT for 400$ on the website, you can also go through reviews from verified buyers just like many reliable stores online, for safety purpose I only buy products that have reviews/comments only

There's a worldwide shortage for all kinds of chips.
From what I've seen (already in Nov-Dec 2020), the computers and parts are scarce and overpriced. And it's by far not the only industry affected.
Maybe this sheds a bit of light why you have to search way more than normal and get ready to pay more.

I was planning on buying a mining rig with 6x RX5700 or RX5700XT but I noticed that the price are way too high because of bull season we are in, I'd rather wait for bear market to begin before building the mining rig, this way I will get the card for cheaper price

Hi ognasty, i suggest you wait for bear market to come again, gpu price will be more affordable at the time, buying now doesn't make any sense because ROI is what matters the most here, you can't find RX5700xt at a reasonable price right now, you gotta wait

[mak013]

The same problem. It 2017 i could buy on Ebay, Amazon... Now i cant buy anything for normal price and quantity. 3060ti - $800, 5700 - $650-700... I don`t ready to but GPUs for such a price.

For me, it doesn't make sense to wait a bear market to buy cards to mining
I agree GPUs prices are insane, and it's good to find good deals, but at MRSP it's impossible at the moment, even manufacturers will increase price due to the scarcity of components

The moment to make profits is now, I prefer to pay more on GPUs and gain more money, instead of buy with discount of 10% or 15% but gaining 10x less in a bear market

This is something to think, and I'll say again, I disagree with prices, but there are people paying more for GPUs but making profits and in a few months the GPUs will be paid

Maybe, just maybe, we will find some GPUs at the launch of new Nvidias

I have a friend in the States with the same problem, he said the he wanted to buy PS5 for a very long time but amazon was out of stock all the time so he found a guy selling it localy. This guy had a trading bot for Amazon which buys automatically when things come up on Amazon, and he is not the only one.. they do this with almost everything videocards as well and then they sell those on double price even more.

These are in stock from Newegg's eBay store for the new post tarrif MSRP  at the time I type there are more than 10 left and 123 sold.

620 dollars is an excellent price, in Russia this video card costs 200 dollars more.
I’m even ready to ignore the fact that this video card has a Power Connector 2 x 8-Pin.
It is very strange that these video cards are still available.
Long delivery to my country will override all the advantages of the price.

Hm you nailed it friend, it's a must for people to do good calculations before buying mining equipments and right now fast ROI is certain, the early the better, but if you are from a country where electricity isn't stable don't bother investing on miners right now, If you are from a country where electricity is available 24/7 I don't see reasons why you waiting around, you will make your money back for sure

I'm in the USA and sadly not near a Microcenter unless I'm staying with family, but if you have a Microcenter near you join their unofficial discord channel and join the general chat for the store near you.  

The people in line will let you know what comes in and some will take a picture of stock when they pick their items up.  People are lining up at midnight to 5:30 am to get the 3080's but sometimes the 3070 or 3090's last till open and I have recently seen a pretty good shipment of 5600xt cards left after open.
