As I posted in the system build topic, the rumors of an endless waterfall of ridiculously overpriced GPUs were greatly exaggerated.
Best Buy sold out in seconds. Newegg sold out in a few minutes. The only hopes for US purchasers are waiting for Amazon to get their listings up, local Micro Centers, or the BH Photo waitlist and accepting waiting for your card to ship after Succos is over on 10/19.
Be interesting to hear if anyone’s able to score one from a brick-and-mortar. No Micro Centers in the rural Washington town of Seattle.
