Well my micro center just got a ton of 3060s in. They’d probably be sold out by the time I got there.

Looks like mine did too. EVGA, Zotac, Gigabyte, and MSI. Probably all gone by now...
EVGA is the cheapest at $390.

St David’s? I’m hoping if they are getting orders then maybe my pre-order from shopblt is getting in stock also.

Atlanta area. There are actually 2 of them here.
Seems like the 3060 is a disappointment though unless you’re getting it for 1080p.

Well I only have a 1080p monitor so no big deal. I’m mainly just building for fun with my son. I’m not looking to make a high end machine. Hell, the game I play most is Everquest and that’s 22ish years old. Maybe I would boot up Warzone or the new Black Ops. That’s why I was only looking for a 1660 originally. Fuck, this is making me want to take a drive.

Not to struggle at 1440.

The Verge is using a Core i7 7700K while Tom's Hardware is using a core i9 9900K

Verge is bottlenecking the 3060 and Ti variant with the old 4-core chip.

Still too far back on TH though. That's not best for business.

That is true though looking from that graph I wouldn't exactly say it's "struggling" per se

The 9900k is still in the top 3 gaming CPU's to buy. It's fine for benchmarking. A 10900k is what, 5% faster than a 9900k.

I hate to defend the Verge, shudders, but I don't hate that they're using a 7700k.
This sounds weird to say about an i7, but someone needs to cover the more realistic stuff that people are going to pair this GPU with. If they were testing a 3090 on a 7700k I would raise an eyebrow.
edit: For example, this is probably going to be paired with i5's and Ryzen 5's. If you owned a 7700k right now, the 7700k is going to be close enough to the the 10400 and Ryzen 3600 to not justify the price upgrade.
I haven't seen a review yet with an i5 or Ryzen 5 so you have to do a little mma math but you can see how the hardware would run on hardware that it will be paired with.

Fair point
 
Some dude on Craigslist is selling a PC with a 3070, 9900k, and 32gb of 4444 for only $1000.

First Intel, now Nvidia.

Intel and Nvidia were dominating CPU and GPU market for the last 15 years. And now from the ashes AMD rise up to compete with giants.

Well played I say. Keep up pressure. We all know Nvidia and Intel were milking market for years, I am glad AMD finally picked up the fight.

Can't wait how things will develop this year.
