For those in the PC world, there's a lot of new tech that's been coming out, but scalper bots have bought up a chunk of the inventory on most sites within seconds of launch and it's been difficult for the common folk to get their hands on them.
About the only thing NewEgg has done to fight scalpers is put the new tech in bundles, so you have to purchase it with some other items. I was fortunate enough the other week to find a bundle with an MSI RTX 3070 Trio X - 8GB card and snagged it, already have it in hand. Planning to use it for my wifes new build if it'll fit the case, gotta check it all.
But anyway, yesterday I managed to REALLY luck out again. I checked NewEgg (searching for "RTX bundle") and came away with TWO more of the MSI RTX 3070 Trio X's AND a Gigabyte Xtreme 24GB 3090 bundle as well! I almost snagged a 3080 card too but by the time I tried to purchase that bundle it was out of stock, whomp whomp.
Gotta wait for them to arrive but I will have:
THREE MSI RTX 3070 Trio X cards - https://www.newegg.com/msi-geforce-...x-trio/p/N82E16814137603?Item=N82E16814137603
ONE Gigabyte RTX 3090 Xtreme - https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-gef...x-24gd/p/N82E16814932340?Item=N82E16814932340
I'm doubtful I can fit any of the three fan cards in my new rig because I went for a much smaller case, so will probably need to snag myself a 2 fan version. Anyway, wanted to reach out and see if anyone in the community is trying to get one before I offer any up to facebook friends.
EDIT: If interest is too great for my supply I will likely have to do some random selection process.
