AL_MAOT Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 Nvidia’s RTX 3000 series graphics cards are finally starting to hit store shelves, though they're still hard to come by. For instance, the company's flagship RTX 3080 card sold out instantly when it launched on September 17. The RTX 3090 also sold out instantly when it came out on September 24th, and the same happened to the RTX 3070 when it comes out on October 29th. Still, with companies promising to restock inventory and cancel scalper orders, it's worth checking on their store pages now and then, which is where this page comes in. Nvidia itself has stated to expect shortages throughout the year, but that's all the more reason to stay alert for when opportunities do arise. The big issue with getting your hands on these cards is not being able to pre-order them. Instead, you have to sign up for notifications on store pages, or set up a bot of your own that notifies you when cards become available. Then, if you're lucky, you can swoop in and buy a card before inventory runs out. We've seen it happen. That's why we've collected the different places where you can get your hands on RTX cards all on this one page, so you can prepare to get the new best graphics cards (or systems that include them, which are less likely to sell out) as soon as they become available. Note that, as of time of writing, we've checked all the listed stores and still don't see any RTX 3080, RTX 3090 or RTX 3070 cards for sale. That's not too surprising, as new inventory updates from top Danish electronics retailer Proshop shows that it's not just individual consumers who are having problems buying RTX 3000 series cards. However, resellers (even MSI subsidiaries) have plenty of them selling for inflated prices that are more than double the MSRP, if you're willing to go that route. RTX 3080: Where to Buy The card on everyone’s mind right now is the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080. As we said in our RTX 3080 review, it’s both powerful and surprisingly well priced, allowing you to get 30% better performance than the RTX 2080 Ti for $700. There’s no doubt the 3080 is in high demand, which we saw when it sold out within seconds on launch day. That said, a number of retailers have store pages up right now where you can sign up to get notified when they go live again. eBay: If money is no object and you're willing to pay double the MSRP, eBay has RTX 3080 cards going from $1,599 to $2,100. Good news, though. The $2,100 unit has free shipping. stockX: Similar to eBay, there's also some aftermarket RTX 3080 cards up on stockX, a site commonly used for aftermarket sneaker sales. These range from $1,300 to $1,900, but buying from here might mean supporting people who use bots to resell. Best Buy currently lists RTX 3080s from Nvidia , Gigabyte, MSI, Asus, PNY and EVGA listed. Prices range from $699.99 to $849.99, depending on model and manufacturer. Amazon, meanwhile, doesn’t have any options straight from Nvidia. Instead, it carries models from PNY, Zotac, MSI, EVGA, Gigabyte and Asus. Amazon currently doesn’t have any prices listed on its available, as it is out of inventory, but you can sign up for notifications on when they restock. B&H doesn’t have the Founders Edition, either. Its cards come from Zotac, Asus, MSI and Gigabyte. You can still sign up for notifications, and prices range from $719.99 to $904.80 depending on model and manufacturer. Finally, Newegg has models from Gigabyte, Zotac, EVGA, MSI and Asus. They range from $699 to $1,562, depending on model, seller and manufacturer. Newegg also has numerous RTX 3080 bundle deals that include related gear like motherboards, though these are also sold out at the moment. You can also sign up for notifications here. RTX 3090: Where to Buy If you want even more power than the RTX 3080, the RTX 3090 is your best bet. Our RTX 3090 review dubs it the heir to the Titan throne and crowns it the definitive "fastest GPU for gaming." It even performs well with SLI, which is rare in modern graphics cards, though you might still have to properly configure your DLSS settings to get the most out of it according to new benchmarking with Watch Dogs: Legion. It does cost more than the RTX 3080, starting at $1,500 for the Nvidia Founder's Edition, but seeing how quickly it sold out on its September 24 launch, it's clear demand is just as high as for its less powerful sibling. So just like with the RTX 3080, we've gathered RTX 3090 store pages together so you can be ready to strike when stock comes back in. eBay: If your time is worth a lot more than your money, you can grab an RTX 3090 card from a seller on eBay for as little as $2,499. stockX: Like eBay, you can also turn to stockX for aftermarket RTX 3090s. This is a site commonly used for designer sneaker sales, and prices range from $2,330 to $3,200. But know that buying from here might mean supporting people who use bots to mark up prices. Newegg has the most RTX 3090 listings right now with options from MSI, Asus, EVGA, Zotac and Gigabyte. Prices range from $1,499.99 to $1,799, and you can sign up for notifications on the listings that interest you. Like with the RTX 3080, Newegg also has numerous (also sold out) bundle deals that include related gear like motherboards. Best Buy is where you can find the Founders Edition, as well as cards from Gigabyte, Asus, PNY, EVGA and MSI. Prices vary between models. Amazon has RTX 3090 listings from Zotac, PNY, MSI, Gigabyte and Asus' TUF brand, though none have prices listed due to being out of stock . You can sign up for notifications, though. B&H has cards from Zotac, Asus and Gigabyte, with prices ranging from $1,499.99 to $1,842.10 depending on model and manufacturer. It also used to have an MSI option, though this it currently listed as no longer available. As always, email notifications are available. RTX 3070 Founders Edition Rounding out the RTX 3000-series releases is the RTX 3070, which was originally expected to launch on October 15 but was pushed back to October 29th to increase launch day stock. The RTX 3070 is the most affordable of the RTX 3000 cards, packing 5,888 CUs for prices starting at $499.00 and targeting 1440p gameplay. In leaked tests, it performed slightly better than a 2080 Ti despite its much lower cost, and our own review also compared it to a 2080 Ti. Despite the release delay, RTX 3070s repeated the pattern of the other RTX 3000 series card launches and also sold out within minutes after going live. That's not a surprise, given Proshop's inventory numbers before the card went up. Still, we will continue to monitor stock and update this page if we see any. eBay: Like the RTX cards that launched before it, the RTX 3070 is all over eBay. Reputable listings seem to start around $600. stockX: There is currently a single RTX 3070 unit up on stockX for $899. Best Buy lists the Nvidia Founders Edition, but you can't preorder. It also has options from Gigabyte and PNY. Prices vary from $499 to $569 depending on product. Amazon has two PNY models listed. Amazon isn't taking pre-orders either, but you can sign up to be notified when products become available. B&H has two RTX 3070 models currently listed on its store, both from Gigabyte. One costs $599 and the other costs $649, and you can sign up to be notified when they become available. Pre-Builts with RTX RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 cards are still sold out across all stores, but there are pre-built systems that include the cards still available. iBuyPower has desktop systems with RTX 3080 cards available for preorder. Velocity Micro is still letting you add an RTX 3080 to any of its full tower or workstation desktops. The company is currently quoting a 3-week lead time for deliveries. Alienware currently has a (fairly expensive) gaming desktop with an RTX 3090, and the company told PC Gamer that more configurations will be available soon. It is currently quoting a 3-4 week delivery time. Cyberpower currently has 8 desktops available with RTX 3080s. Expect a 3 week lead time on deliveries. Falcon Northwest is currently allowing customers to add RTX 3080s to their FragBox, Talon and Tiki system orders. Also, keep an eye on our Best Gaming PC deals page- we'll update it if we find any deals (or more likely at this point, bundles) on systems with RTX cards in them. That’s it for now. We’ll keep this page updated as more information arises, which might last even beyond the RTX 3070’s launch. We wouldn’t be surprised, for instance, to see an RTX 3060 make its way to store shelves sometime later this year.
