I need the GPU for content creation as so will need nvidia..I checked ppt and thought the cheapest one was at 38k. Mb. You could try getting the 6600 xt or 6650 xt if you're ok with amd cards
No progress here either. They moved 4 days in queue in 5 months, I was in the queue from Feb 2021 for 3080. Checked in Feb 2022 they were processing orders from Dec 1 2020, checked in June and they were processing orders from Dec 5 2020.mine is march 2021 query and still waiting. last time i checked in Feb 2022 with Neha Patil and they were still processing Feb 21 orders. So no real progress in 5 months
I don't think that is going to make any difference. I went ahead and bought a new AIB card at near msrp from a local vendor.No progress here either. They moved 4 days in queue in 5 months, I was in the queue from Feb 2021 for 3080. Checked in Feb 2022 they were processing orders from Dec 1 2020, checked in June and they were processing orders from Dec 5 2020.
I sent an email to Nvidia HQ about their shady practices. There were GPUs floating around in RPTech sealed boxes in the grey market, but they can't cater to their genuine community.
