Toned mine down to monochrome, but I like my EVGA better than my MSI because it has a Cylon mode.
That sorta reminds me of the glow of an old time radio. Minus the cylon mode.

I did manage to score an Asus 3080 on Friday using the discord bot. They havenāt shipped it yet though. I sure hope it doesnāt take too long and I hope they ship from the continental USA because I chose the ground shipping.
Are any bots showing 3070 stock or is it all 3080s?
Whatās the link to it? Might as well join even though Iām unlikely to be at my PC when stock is available.
Big Navi orders go live in less than 48H
When do the reviews drop?
Thatās what I was thinking too. Iām very curious to see how AMD does without a DLSS equivalent, specifically with ray-tracing on.

How does that work? Iād like to do that too as Iāve had no luck with anything. I donāt even know what discord thingie to go to.

Why is Amazon allowing this crap?

You think that is bad, you shouldāve seen the price of Lysol in the spring.
Iāve reported some listing in the past and Amazonās response is always the same, third party, not our problem so sorry about that. They donāt even make it easy to report within their site so I just sent them to my AG.
Install the Discord app. Then, click this link - https://discord.gg/QsXyfgqE
Go to the alert-signup channel and expand the blocked messages and then click on the Emoji to sign up for different alerts. Then configure your alerts in the Discord app so youāll notice them when they go off.
Itās not ideal. The in-stock bot is run by one guy on his PC and it only checks every 10 minutes. Which means by the time the notification goes off itās usually too late. It also goes down every time he reboots his PC or ā¦ reinstalls windows? What?
Itās a little better than nothing.
(Discord works great for chatting and even voice chat in a browser window, but Iām not sure how well the notifications would work without the app.)
Itās how I got both my GPU and my CPU. If I had been relying on Nowinstock I wouldnāt have even known there was stock. Might work better in smaller markets.
I was constantly checking the Newegg app while waiting in line at my local Microcenter for the AMD 5000 series CPUs. I couldnāt even get their pages to load until they said āsold out.ā

Was going to be happy with a 3070 or maybe a 6800 for 2K gaming but my work gifted me an Oculus Quest 2, Iām now intrigued by VR so now I might need higher performance. Problem is my power supply is 650 watts and the higher-spec cards recommend 750 watts. Which is more likely: VR with Quest 2 will run acceptably on 3070 (not that interested in competitive, fast-action games) or 3080 or 6800 XT will run on 650 watt power supply (other components are Ryzen 7 3700, 32 GB, an NVME SSD and one spinning disk)?
650W would be probably be fine for either card, as long as itās not a cheapo PSU. The 6800XT is supposed to be 300W ish and the 3080 is 320 ish. Youād be cutting it fine for later upgrades arguably.
But the 3070 would also be fine for VR I think. Itās a very good card, better than anything VR users had until this gen really.
I too was gifted a quest 2 for professional reasons this week, and was just pondering these same questions. I want to pass the quest 2 on to my daughter and her laptop is going to be very lacking the horsepower to run anything VR. Iāll be curious what config you finally go with, so please do post results.

Youāre in England? I noticed the pool is smaller there.
