    More like a little bit of nothing - none available for sale just like any other GPU
    If you'd prefer a new AMD card that will also be sold out so that you can't buy it, that's coming March 3.

    Why do you have some charts where the left edge is 0, and other charts where the left edge is slightly greater than 0 but not actually 0? That makes the latter graphically misleading.

    For $70 more I’d just splurge for the Ti. Assuming they were available at non scalper prices. Which they’re not, or at all for that matter.

    If the cards were available at MSRP ($330), then this is basically an RTX 2070 with more memory for less money and a little less power.  I don't see how that's a bad thing.

    The problem is that miners will make sure that the cards aren't available at MSRP.  Blame the people paying stupid prices for Ethereum.  Don't blame Nvidia.

    Just go to a store and buy them in person.

    If all Nvidia 30xx series were available at MSRP then I would choose the Ti or 70 series for value. But since none are that is really a moot point.\

    edit: FYI The two that were available through BestBuy are $390 (EVGA) and $500 (MSI).

    If I sound unreasonably angry and irritated it is because I am and feel entitled to be so. And I have a feeling I am not alone.
    I'm not saying that you shouldn't be angry.  I am saying that you should be angry at the culprits, not merely others who happen to be nearby.  The underlying problem is people paying stupid prices to buy Ethereum.  If that stopped, the miners would abruptly stop buying hardware entirely, and likely sell off what they've already purchased.  It might take some time for the situation to sort out, but it would.

    So long as cryptocurrencies are worth more than Nvidia, AMD, and Intel added together, there's really not that much that they can do to bring hardware to market at an affordable price without miners grabbing it all.  They're all bringing as much hardware to market as fast as they can, but the mining demand is nearly infinite.

    Someday people will figure out that Ethereum isn't actually worth anything, and it will only really be a souvenir, kind of like Enron stock.  Hopefully the people causing this mining craze will lose as much of the money that they sunk into it as possible.  But the people buying Ethereum are the culprits, not overwhelmed hardware vendors.

    If only it was that easy. Availability will probably be as this product reaches EOL.
