NERFED CARDS ARE IN CIRCULATION

[caffinated]

Sorry for delay to answer.

Okay I picked up the omen at best buy on tuesday.

It is a very nice pc now sold out.

The 3060ti is small compact 2 fan with a customs back mount 8pin plug.

I pulled the card and hooked it up to a new smos build.

It works fine 59 mh at 120 watts fairly cool with fans at 75%

it is like the nvidia model fe

the dell alienware came yesterday and I blew out my back moving them around as they are heavy boxes with a weird shape.

they are also like nvidia model fe top mount 8pin jack light duty heat sink.

man I wish I could have picked up a dozen or so of these cards they are fine of course I now have three pcs without gpus.

I may part them out at my leisure.

I am waiting for the hp pavillion with a 3060ti.

I am 3 for 3 hoping to go 4 for 4.

At this point I wont be buying much gear.

I need to see the shake out of the nvidia nerf job.

It could be these cards will all get very valuable. If nividia nerfs hard.
amd has hardly any cards and eth stays pricey.

That is three ifs but I can afford to take the shot.

So far the omen builds crush the alien 👽 ware builds.
the omen30l are nice pcs. yeah there is some bloatware but thats okay.

grats!! good luck on the 4 out of 4!!

My local store got  50+ 3070's more than a week ago and they are still in stock. Was it supposed to be possible to tell from packaging if they are nerfed? Curious how they have not sold out yet.

In my country, RTX 3070 are on sale for $ 2100 now. I think this is not a very good buy.
Over the past week, you can easily buy any models of video cards in stores, except for the RTX 3070ti and RTX 3080ti.
But for such prices, miners and gamers will not buy them.
Maybe the price will drop after the London hard fork

The latest rtx cards are mostly nerfed. Most of them are the LHR version, at least according to online news. But there's a trick to solve that problem, check out on Twitter or other hardware forum.

Regardless of whether they're nerfed or not, I also think buying new cards right now are not worth it. Maybe you can hunt prebuilt and use the parts, but most of those OEM parts have a terrible cooler. Well, it's your call now.

Prices have come down here, Asus GeForce RTX 3070 TUF Gaming is "only" 1059 eur or 1282 usd. Still too much though to even consider, but feels like we are at the end of this cryptomining boom, cards are in stock again and prices have started to drop just a tiny bit. Perhaps at the end of summer we are looking at sane prices. Just hoping though. lol.
