Still cannot find a RTX 30X0 series card anywhere. Fucking bullshit. Got a pile of money set aside already, it's winter and nasty outside which is perfect for gaming, upgraded almost all other components of my system including a beefy 850W power supply needed for these big ass power hungry cards, but nah... Out of stock everywhere except a few shady Amazon sellers offering them for double the retail price. Stupid. [Reply]

Don’t feel lonely. I put my name on the waitlist with EVGA over a month ago and am just standing by until the supply chain dam breaks. I have all parts except gpu to do my son’s new build.
Did you see Corsair has a 12 pin power cable just for the 30x0 series so you don’t have to use the adapter? Good looking cable too. This cable has been out of stock for a month but I checked again last week and they’re available now. Got mine at Best Buy. So at least things are coming back in stock in some areas.
Heh.. Those 30X0 cards are power hungry sumbitches. I watched a video the other day where Linus put 2 3090 cards in SLI mode. The 1000W PS in the test machine still wasn't enough to run a game. Died about 5 seconds into gameplay. They had to find a 1600W PS to test it. :-) [Reply]

The last rig I built was damn near 10 years ago now and it had a 850W in it. 2 x 8800's in SLI drew a shitload of power for the time. [Reply]
Yeah, I already have a modular 12pin cable for the future card. Didn't know about the EVGA queue thing though. Thanks for that. I signed up for several of their models. [Reply]

I like that they are taking steps to eliminate bots in an equitable way. Good luck man :-) [Reply]

Guy on Reddit put his name on the EVGA list on September 18. He got his email last Friday and his card arrived today.
Do you think I could power a GTX 3060 TI on a 750w PS? I haven't kept too up to date on things. I just upgraded an old Core i3 (2013) to a new one so piecemealing things here and there. [Reply]

Congrats on the new cpu. I imagine you're going to realize quite a gain.
The Verge says 600w for the 3060 so you should have plenty of room with 750w.
Nvidia’s RTX 3000 series cards have all bumped up their power requirements, but the RTX 3060 Ti is a little more modest in that regard. Nvidia is recommending a 600W power supply for the RTX 3060 Ti, and it will draw up to 200 watts.
