Yes that's true. 3060ti around $600ish as well. Of course the prices are pretty meaningless at this point when you can't actually order any of them other than the occasional 3090 for 2K+ that you can actually still find online.

You wouldn't be stupid to pay those prices if you need something to game with now. If you have no functional video card it doesn't leave you with a lot of choices. Nvidia 3000 series and AMD 6000 series are extremely hard to find in Canada. If you live close enough to a brick and mortar like...

It's a good deal if you compare to what else is out there right now. It's about $550-600CDN for the 3060ti. Sure that's a lot of money, but the 5700xt is the same price in Canada and is slower. The 3070 is $700 in Canada for 10%ish faster card. I get the statement that it's a pricey card, but I...

I'm glad they did release the 3060ti. I managed to finally snag a GPU after hunting for the 3070/3080/6800 series. Got a MSI Ventus 3060ti, I'm just relieved I have the last part for my computer build on the way.

I picked one up from ME online in Canada at 6:03am (PST). Grabbed an MSI for $599. There's actually still a bit of inventory left in the stores almost 5 hours later.

I can't blame anyone for taking advantage of foolish people with too much money. You do you.

If you don't mind overpaying you can go for Extreme-pc or check newegg for Aeromalls getting stock. Those go between 899-999 CAD.

Any idea if the 6800 will have significantly more supply than the 6800xt? Honestly I'll probably grab whatever I can that is in stock for my new build. I suspect the 6800 will be the easiest to find due to being lowest performer and probably less attractive than the 6800xt given the amount of...

In Canada I'm not near any places to line up and grab one of the processors so I was hunting through online sites. Unfortunately most of the stock from retailers online were only selling processor in store with small amounts that were snapped up quickly. I was going in looking for a 5600x with a...

Sold out quickly in Canada and can't find any stock at the moment, been checking off and on throughout the day.

10% price premium for 15-20% performance increase. Price for performance is good. I agree the lack of a $500 sku is an issue. Might be enough to convince me to go 3070 even though the 6800 seems worth the 79 more

Wasn't the benchmarks for the 6800 the only ones not including SAM and/or RAGE benefits? Does this mean on a Zen3 setup the 6800 might be about 25%faster than the 3070? I wonder if they did that to give the appearance of more performance difference between the 6800 and 6800XT than actually...

Putting together a new build for 1080p 165hz G-Sync monitors. Planning on a Ryzen 5600x. Do I go with a 3070 for the Gsync or spend more for the 6800 to get the 15%+ performance (plus more with SAM and RAGE). I know either card will handle 1080p 165hz now but knowing I am building a Zen3 should...

Would have loved the 6800 to come in at the same price as the 3070, but for the performance I can't blame them. Planning on a build this holiday season with a Ryzen 5600 and was looking at the 3070, but that 6800 is impressive for a bit more. Would have loved if there was a 6700 that performed...
