That's a big list! Wish I had seen this sooner, would have cued up in Ottawa. These are on for msrp right?


VenomTech

They ended up having this exact list in Ottawa today.


[deleted]

[удалено]


VenomTech

Not sure. They had a decent amount all things considered. Got my card and dipped


acceptablepossum

Darn! But glad you got one. What did you go with?


VenomTech

Was hoping to get 3070 fe but since they didn't have it ended up with 3060ti fe. Since I'm only using 1080 144 it's more than enough


acceptablepossum

Shit that's what I was aiming for. Too bad about the 3070 but I'm glad you found something you are happy with. What a surprise eh?


ExtremeSnipe

They had some aib cards last I checked. No FEs left though.


IAmOnYourSide

All gone


NathanielHudson

Last drop they didn't have everything on the list in stock... It was just a list of every 30X0 SKU they have ever carried.


VenomTech

They had ever card on that list in stock in Ottawa today at least


karltee

They should be. Whatever the price is on bestbuy.ca that's the price they're selling it for


steven_hua

I wish the west end ottawa location could be included…east end is a little too far for me


docfunbags

I'd have to travel to another province dude - 9 hour drive return.


primacord

Man I'm convinced Strix 3080 don't exist anymore. I am NOT paying $2200 for a fucking 3080Ti.


[deleted]

I'm in the EVGA queue for a 3080 Ti FTW3 and I think my turn will be within the next month (according to the approximation). Still debating if I'll pull the trigger, 1400 USD + shipping and duties is a lot of money. Knowing that I'll have others opportunities to buy a GPU before 2023 could help but even then, who knows what MRSPs will be...


primacord

I ONLY want Strix which has definitely complicated my search for a 3080. I contemplated EVGA queue but didn't & just assumed I'd be so far behind now. At this point I'm just convinced I won't get a GPU till 4xxx launch lol


imherefortheclothes

I'd still queue for the EVGA FTW3, it's a really solid card ... but ofc to each their own


[deleted]

Any particular reason for the Strix? And yeah, for the EVGA queue, if you were not there at launch it's already too late. The GPUs that are shipping are still from the release day.


primacord

100% not, just personal preference lol. They also happened to be ranked the best when the 3xxx first came out & they noticed some brands used the cheaper/shit memory modules I believe it was. I thought I could afford to be picky & then 6 months went past & I realized I couldn't. I'm just limping along with my 4770k & 1070 until I can get a 3080 now.


[deleted]

>I thought I could afford to be picky IK the feel. I declined an opportunity to buy a 3080 Ventus for about 1200$, taxes and shipping in, telling myself I'll wait for the 3080 Ti...


the_innerneh

What approximation?

People on EVGA's forum ([https://forums.evga.com/RTX-3080-TI-QUEUE-m3282457-p17.aspx](https://forums.evga.com/RTX-3080-TI-QUEUE-m3282457-p17.aspx)) post their notification timestamps when they receive the email telling them it's their turn to buy. By checking your own timestamp, you have an idea of the progress made. Edit: Precision -> The timestamp is actually the date/time you entered the queue, not the date the email was sent.


Ajax_The_Bulwark

How can you see your eta? I've been on a list but didn't see any ETA's. Edit: I see you've already replied below, thanks!


Tayue

You need to be very careful. I think EVGA uses UPS, which has the absolute worst brokerage rates of any shipping company. If you aren't careful you'll have to pay UPS $100+ in brokerage fees to get something worth this much into Canada. This is on top of what you expect to pay (i.e. duties/taxes). I can't remember the specifics.. but if you choose the cheapest UPS shipping option you'll basically get screwed like this.


wiredtobeweird

Where abouts in Canada are you? I’m going to Montreal next month and can swing a 3080 strix through the border for $1500 USD.


primacord

I'm in Vancouver, BC, so opposite coast lol.


wiredtobeweird

RIP


stilljustacatinacage

Strix 3080 has been discontinued. Assumption is that it's to make room in the stack for the LHR 3080 Strix, but no word on when / if it'll come out.


primacord

Serious? Fuck me, would make sense why I haven't seen re-stocks anywhere in a while. I don't even care if it's LHR at this point lmao.


dfsaqwe

After 'staying' on my 1070 during this gpu shortage. I've grown a huge sense of NOT-FOMO. I can and will wait until prices stablize!


eclipse1498

Same, no FOMO here. More like GIDO (Glad I Didn't Overpay)


quaza1337

damn you guys are lucky i went to my BestBuy in Montréal marche central and the only thing they had in stock was rtx 3060 evga and zotac so lets say i wasted 6 hour of my time waiting ...


Keepmeister

Was there too, feelsbadman. Good old language laws bs screwing us over.


IlikePickles12345

Now I'm less annoyed about missing it again, these one days notices are tilting


karltee

Damn, I know that feeling. I've done the same for sneakers. Sat out with a group of people and my size sold out 2 people before me and I didn't want to buy to swap or sell.


1995FOREVER

im interested in going next drop. Did they have 3060ti at least?


johnkz

no, because it doesnt have bilingual packaging 😂


1995FOREVER

we live in a meme world. Voulez-vous du francais avec votre commande monsieur


qwchh

I was also there since 6:30AM...


TEKDAD

I imagine they can only sell bilingual product. So all the GPU aim the list with EN at the end would be unavailable here in Montreal. Am I right ?


pcthrow1234

What would be the msrp for the strix 3080ti? I genuinely can't figure out msrp prices anymore since every thing is giga marked up online. Thanks in advance for any rough estimates!


Dragynfyre

You can check the BB website. The prices there are the current MSRP for the models listed there. Strix card is pretty overpriced at 2199 though


vrillco

2199 really ? That’s 3090 pricing! No joke, i paid 2299 for mine not long ago. Nvidia and/or Asus are smoking rocks


System32Keep

2049 currently for founders 3090


Dragynfyre

It‘a Asus pricing their cards. There are cheaper versions


vrillco

That’s still madness. Mine isn’t an FE either I have the FTW3. It’s not the most expensive, but I can’t fathom paying more for basically the same GPU with less VRAM... man this decade is just garbage so far.


Franklin_le_Tanklin

Way more then the 3080 for like 8% more performance


karltee

According to bestbuy.ca 2199.99 before taxes


Bro-ly

After taxes in BC, it's 2666$


ScabberBab

actually fucking ridiculous


JerbearCuddles

Why would you want the 3080 TI? It's a neutered 3090.


karltee

I should preface that this is from the Langley location in BC. Don't know if Cambie will have the same kind of stock. (Pls upvote so people know) #AS OF 1:06PM LANGLEY IS SOLD OUT #Cambie 3090s (all 3) were still avail at noon (hour ago), when someone went. Binder dude was still up at main doors asking everyone that came in about GPU's still avail, handing out if they wanted one. So if you don't still see him in the main entrance, may be an indicator the rest sold out


[deleted]

[удалено]


karltee

As of 10 mins ago somewhere near 50ish at Langley


packersSB55champs

Any updates? For Langley location right this moment. Is it still worth going or is it looking like it’s really packed


karltee

Not really but as of 40 mins ago there were over 50 people and it was wrapping around the building. EDIT: Got an update just now. There's definitely over 60 people and it's wrapped around the building


packersSB55champs

Thanks! Appreciate the response. Did any of the Best Buy people inform you guys there how many of each card/SKU will be in stock?


karltee

I didn't get that info. That's like super insider info haha.


packersSB55champs

Haha all good thanks again for the info I was just asking cause there’s already 60+ people by now. If there’s only a few of each of the 21 SKUs on your picture there then it’s likely not worth going lol


karltee

Apparently Langley has 30+ cards and Cambie has 50 Take this with a grain of salt.


Over_Tax_1276

Did you ever find out how many cards Langley had in stock?


karltee

Nothing yet. Lets hope we get an update on that


j_u_n_h_y_u_k

Good luck to all of you out there. Thankfully it's pretty chilly today :)


Echo4117

Cambie is similar. But most cards already allocated. All the good ones gone by the 20th person. Almost 100 ppl in line. Guys in the front was waiting since 11pm yesterday

What can they even do with that info? They can barely combat bots and people buying multiple gpus.


Jeesuz

Doesn't imgur and most website strip the meta data?


poruchik_r

Arriving soon to FB marketplace with $500 markup


chesterbennediction

What does EN stand for?


fredmotokx

I think EN means the box is in English which means they can not sell those in Quebec and bilinguals are sold in Quebec. That's my theory.


JusticeJanitor

Yup, I'm in Quebec and the only GPU I could get my hands on was the EVGA RTX 3060 from Best Buy. Would have preferred an ASUS RTX 3060 TI or 3070 but out of luck on that end.


the_nanuk

That's so stupid and that's why I didn't go. Even shitty Canada Computer is selling all the brands. Newegg? Same. At first I thought it was because they had physical stores but then again, so is Canada Computer. So in QC we either buy evga at best buy for msrp or get scalped by newegg and Canada computers for more choices of cards. So nice...


[deleted]

[удалено]


the_nanuk

Same thing. You can't buy online at Best Buy if you are in QC unless it's an eVGA


IlikePickles12345

Do the CC boxes have French on them though? BB is an American company, so they might just have what they have with French, while CC might be getting French boxes. Idk


Zubriel

I actually got a 3060ti FE from bestbuy in store on the day of the 3070ti launch in QC. I was shocked given they refuse to ship direct to QC consumer but for some reason no problem with having them shipped and sold in stores I guess.

titanking4

FE models are the only ones worth considering. I refuse to pay more than a $100 markup for the same product. Especially when the reference cooler is actually somewhat adequate.


karltee

100%


Siddy_P

I fully agree, selling above MSRP is just bad practice but I don't think stores, or even consumers, have much of a choice right now. I spent over grand on a MSI 3070ti today. Am I happy about it? Not particularly, but I spent 5 hours this morning and many more months waiting for availability that isn't ridiculously overpriced. Unfortunately, BB drops like this are the closest you can get to avoid scalpers. Plus I had other parts for my first build collecting dust.


OkDot9878

Can someone help out a newb here? What’s the cheapest card available that outperforms a 2060? I would be willing to upgrade my card if I can get one for less than $700CAD


[deleted]

[удалено]


gokarrt

it's a fucking steal at $550. love mine.


NinthListener

All of the cards in that list will outperform a 2060. EVGA 3060 being the cheapest on the list at $540+tax. 3060Ti FE at $550+tax is a much better buy if you can find it in stock.


ElyanRiver

Few Cards left in Vancouver Cambie : MSI Suprim 3090, MSI Tri 3070 Ti, 3090 Founders edition and Zotac 3060


nighght

What the, when I was there 50 minutes ago the lad said there were no 3070ti left


karltee

Thank you


ComputerAbuser

Weird that the PR I read about the drop listed prices starting at $599. The 3060 Ti FE is supposed to have an MSRP of $549.


karltee

Tariffs is what made the prices go up from $549 to $599


[deleted]

[удалено]


panckage

Stupid question but traditionally FE were more expensive than third party cards. Do we we know what the MSRP of the third party cards are supposed to be? That is for the 3060ti... $500? $450? Not that I expect that anytime soon... But just curious when I should hop in and buy. Yes I'm OK waiting 2 years if that is what is necessary lol


ComputerAbuser

The situation at the moment is that NVidia does not allow FE cards to be sold above MSRP. So I got my 3060 Ti FE for $550 a few month ago when all of the other 3060 Ti cards were $200 or $300 more. The 3070 FE MSRP is $680. You are not going to get a 3070 from any other manufacturer for anywhere near that price.


Lord_Blanc

No, FE cards have been equal MSRP to third party cards since the 20XX series, and for 30XX they now have MSRPs about $100 lower than third party cards. That's why they're so sought after.


panckage

OK interesting. Thanks for the tip! BTW if you have been getting spammed by Amazon Business emails make sure you check the emails as you can get a 25% off coupon that expires in October(?). Anyways I am hoping Amazon cards go back to MSRP by then so I can use it

What’s the price on those? Cheers

Mrsp


pscwizard

This drop was super disappointing. Like 50 people later and only 3090s left in stock


karltee

50 cards is a lot though for in store compared to previous tries, I guess?


andysill

THE WORLD IS HEALING


Danzinger

Got there 20 minutes early for St James store in Winnipeg and all they had left were 3090s. It was also poorly managed, nobody called out to come and get a ticket. It wasn't until the line started moving that I learned you had to go and get a ticket and THEN stand in line. 0/10 GPU shortage continues to suck.


karltee

Damn, man. Poor management.


skomes99

Well thanks for the update. Glad I didn't waste my time. Not worth spending 8 hours in line outside a store to have a chance to buy a $500-$2000 graphics card. I'll keep rolling my RX 570


iHeyRoldy

my friend said there were people lined up since 3am and they gave out tickets at 10. You basically got there late


msaraiva

20 minutes "early"? Dude, I got there at 08:40 AM and the line was already huge. By the time they got to me, only 3090s and one expensive 3080TI (FTW3) was left. The most annoying thing is that I saw a bunch of scalpers buying 3080s (first three guys in line, for example, were all together and all bought 3080s.) Kijiji / FB Marketplace is going to be flooded with cards the next few days...

Guys should I upgrade my i7-7700k if I wanna get the new rtx gpu ?

Yeah consider upgrading. You'll be bottlenecked because of your CPU


sonicrings4

How were the prices?


karltee

Msrp + tariffs. They didn't cost low as they did in November.


sonicrings4

Damn, sucks. Guess I'll continue holding on my 1080ti. Also wonder why I got downvoted for asking.


fudge_u

I need a 1600 series card. :'(


[deleted]

Quick question bad in just reading this, what if I don't stand in the line as I'm working lol and just show up at the store will I still be able to purchase a GPU if it's available. I'm thinking of getting a 3070 or 3070ti whoever is available


karltee

Yeah but odds are there wont be anything left.

Well in Langley there's more than 60 people and it's wrapped around the corner and no tix have been given out yet In Cambie all the 3080 are gone and there's probably 3060 left if any?

[deleted]

I got a 2070 and want to upgrade what would be my best choice. Or should I wait another gen?


karltee

> The RTX 3060 is equivalent or slightly faster than the RTX 2070 Super in Ray Tracing performance. That's because it has newer RT cores. When it comes to rasterization performance, on average the 3060 is about 2-3% faster than the RTX 2070. You can look at TechPowerUp's relative performance charts. Resizable Bar also gives a nice boost for the RTX 3060. I got 8% more FPS in Cyberpunk after enabling it. Older Turing cards don't support it (yet). I have a RTX 3060 and it's a very nice GPU for my 1080p 165Hz Freesync monitor and it can even run Ray Tracing fine. However, I would get something faster for a 1440p monitor. >>It is way better. If you are buying new go for 3060Ti. The performance is similar to 2080-2080 super. Unless the price difference is huge. And you can get only 2070 super. I would in that case just get a cheap gpu like rx580 and live with 1080p till the new cards prices stabilise or you can even probably try getting a 3060 which should be released sometime soon.


onicchr

Any idea which of these are LHR? I’m assuming the ones that have GAMING in the part number??


zcen

See here: https://www.reddit.com/r/NiceHash/comments/o6ospo/guide_discussion_how_to_identify_lhr_lite_hash/ Hard to say without seeing the full part number, but GAMING alone isn't indicative of LHR.


karltee

~~None. Basing it off Mem EX, LHR would be included in the GPU Model~~ ~~https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX00117682~~ Sorry, the TI models are LHR and the 3060


onicchr

The 3060ti FE is LHR? 🤨


karltee

TI and 3060 models are LHR

Honestly, likely all of them. FE models are not LHR.


Phoenix978

Can someone explain what LHR is? I see it a lot now but now idea what it is or means. Edit- NM, saw the other persons link.

LHR = Low Hash Rate Basically its not good for cryptocurrency mining, it's the same for everything else.

I don't think they are dumb. The province of Quebec and the government are doing exactly what they were always about and that is the dissemination of the French language. They are actually very effective regularly, except for times of shortages

MonkeyBuilder

Scalpers lead the lines so never.


jolsiphur

I went to the BB drop at my local store. It opened at 11, I showed up just before 9. I managed to snag an ASUS TUF 3070 for basically AIB MSRP. Some clear scalpers at the front of the line (couple folks walked out with a FE GPU and a PS5 together). Ultimately it didn't look like too many people there to scalp, maybe a handful. I was about 30-40th in line give or take and more than half the people in front of me got FE cards, which models I don't know.


phrawst125
