Q: when will it be back in stock? I need 8 of those, please inform me if I can pre-order.

A: i hope an ied detonates on your house

Q: How soon until the 3060 ti are back in stock? I need to get 6 of them and cannot find any anywhere

A: Nobody "needs" 6 of these.... You'll be able to get 1-2 max, otherwise BB will ban you from buying more given these are a high demand item.

Q: Not a question but. To the people buying these just to resell, I hope you never find happiness.

A: I've been refreshing this page several times a day for weeks. All I want is ONE card for my gaming rig, to upgrade from my GTX 1050 Ti. I really wish retailers would put a limit on each order. I have a friend who's video card died, and he is reduced to gaming on his laptop and can only play a handful of games. He can't find a card either. This sucks.

Q: can it handle spotify?

A: No

Q: But can it run Crysis?

A: no it cant

Q: Is Best Buy going to optimize their cart so bots aren’t the only ones getting these?

A: Yes they have instituted a few additional protections For one you will have to validate a code they send to your e-mail address or phone while you go through the checkout process and two you can only pickup at a Best Buy location near you. With these two new features I was able to purchase one while I was not able to purchase the 3080 or 3070 so I am going to go ahead and say it worked.

Q: Have these been restocked since release? Is it worth watching the page?

A: Yes, I was able to order mine on December 8th, 2020.

Q: Can this be used with a b450 motherboard?

A: Yes, and even older boards

Amazing product if you can get your hands on it
TL;DR: Buy this product if it is in stock and if you need a graphics card because it is amazing, but don't fear if you don't get it for AMD and Nvidia's new offerings in Q 1/2 of 2021, may provide the gpu that could be a better fit for you. I got this product after refreshing the page many times on launch day and was one of the few souls who got it, I wish luck to the others who are trying to get it. Firstly, I use a egpu (external Graphics Card Unit) when I game because of my personal situation, and I was able to get it up and running within a few minutes. All of my games are amazing compared to my previous card (gtx 960) and I was able to play Battlefield 1/V, Fallout 4/76, Skyrim SE, GTA V, and RDR2 all at 60 fps+ on 4k High/Ultra settings with 1% lies in the low 50s fps at worse (RDR2 during a pretty strenuous scene) and 0.1% lows in the high 40s fps (also in RDR2). But please remember, even with my relatively good egpu set up, it normally gets no more than 80-95% then what you get in desktop, so your milage may very. Thermals: It never got more than 72°C in my 1 hour stress test in unigen heaven with the very quiet stock fan curve that got to no more than 41%. The physical card is simply beautiful and it seems to use all of the metal as a heat sink and (don't touch the card at home, I was just curious for this review) gets quite uncomfortably hot, so don't touch your graphics card while it's in usage even though that should be obvious because it is a computer part. It admittedly warmed up my room by about 1°C with room set at 21°C to 22°C after about 5 hours of continuous usage (along with my 25w laptop and my smaller bedroom, this is an uncontrolled variable but is interesting nontheless). The airflow and cooling for the card is outstanding considering it is a 200w card and is smaller than my evga twin fan edition of my previous gtx 960. Great stuff! Overclocking: With there being quite a bit of thermal head room, I felt confident in the cards ability to I overclock, and I was right. I was able to oc it with the core at 2085 mhz (+150 cc) and it was stable during my 2 hour stress test of me playing GTA V story mode. I was able to get it to 2110 mhz (+175 cc), but it was a tad unstable if it stayed there, and would normally fall back down to 2085 automatically in order to not crash. With the memory clock I was able to get a +1400mhz on the memory and it remained stable and there was no artifacting after that same stress test on GTA V. Ii was able to get about 3%-12% fps performance gains, which is astounding, but the average was more like 6.5-8.5% fps gain. With the stock fan curve and with these overclocking settings, it got to 54% fan speed at 79°C, and with my manual fan speed setting of 72% it sat at 75°C. I would suggest using the auto curve if you are a bit sensitive to noise, but if you're fine with a little bit of fan noise, I would suggest raising the fan speed slightly higher like I did. Overall, it's very impressive from my perspective. Note that overclocking may void manufacturer warranty on some products and may not give same results, so use at your own risk. DLSS and RTX: I really only play one game that uses either that I care to use and that is rtx minecraft which works perfectly at 4k ~55-60fps and looks stunning. It uses DLSS for the performance gains of from what I can tell of about 15-20+ fps to make it go from playable to very useable. DLSS at this point seems to be very a future oriented technology which is nice, because it gives me some more hope that I will be able to use the 3060ti for longer than I would otherwise. But, right now it is still a very impressive technology. Overall: This is a great product for $400 and although a bit more vram would have been nice, for $400 there is no question that this is an absolute buy. Although the review shenanigans that occurred around this launch were quite suspect, this product is still very good and I recommend buying this model or any other 3060ti model if it is under $430. RTX in my eyes is still in it's infancy, but very much a product to be used, and DLSS along with Nvidia broadcast is also amazing. Best Buy pickup was fine and they got it too me a day later than expected, but they brought it out my car within a few minutes when I did go to pick it up. Thanks for my long ramble, and I wish you luck on getting this card, or any card for a good price this holiday season. -HW

Tips on How to Actually Buy This Card
Performs very well for the money. Beats a 2080 Super and is $300 less MSRP. Sleek looking card, honestly more appealing than the AIB partner cards. I was able to get this on release day. Contrary to popular belief (and a shocker even to me), Best Buy did a much better job implementing different mechanisms to prevent bots from taking over with their queued/gradual release system and additional human verifications at checkout. It wasn’t without a few bugs though depending on whether or not you were actually able to place your order. I know many others were able to add to cart and take it all the way to shipping/pick up location but no stores were shown as available at that point (this card was only available for ship-to-store/store pickup on release). I think it’s only going to get better though once these small bugs are fixed. I haven’t been a Best Buy customer for close to a decade but after this mostly good experience, I can say they’re better than Newegg and that they are actually trying to prevent bots from buying stock whereas Newegg won’t even turn on Captcha because it “hinders the checkout experience.” Take it from me, a pessimistic graphics-card seeker. One recommendation I do have for anyone reading this is to add all the cards you want to your Saved Items List on the mobile app and periodically check it to see if there are releases. You’ll see stock changes on the list itself so you don’t have to go through each item page. I think you’re more likely to stumble upon releases than waiting for a stock drop notification on a Discord server, which would be too late by the time you get it. On release day, I did this and beat stock drop notifications by a solid 5 minutes. I’ve found most Best Buy drops to occur on weekdays between 7:30-9:30am (PT). Make sure to have your payment information in your account in advance and use the mobile app for quicker checkout. Keep it up, you can get one.

Nvidia’s got this one right.
Insane value. Insane build quality. Cool and quiet! I wouldn’t have thought I’d be saying these things about a Founder’s Edition card, but here I am. Oh, and buy this over the 3070. More value. It’s not lost on me that these are impossible to get. But once they’re more widely available, this one will be a hit.
