Any tips for buying a Gpu ?

[bruh11111]

Hi.

I have read a lot of rumors that Nvidia is launching a so called Rtx 3060 Ultra 12 GB

And that card seems to peak my interests.

I wanna know if any of you got any tips on how to get one as fast as possible before scalpers ruin it.

I live in france.

Know someone that works at the store and make sure they set one aside for you.

If it's a small computer store, offer to leave a deposit. IE, pay some money to make sure they hold onto it for you.

 

it's projected to be a typo with the 12gb vram in the 3060.

 

you can also just setup your own bot or buy a scalped card. Depends how much you want it.

it all depends on your budget. 

try comparing what you can get brand new in your budget with older but gold things like 1080 or even 1080ti.

That's basically the only way to get something these days without resorting to botting or being extremely lucky, refreshing the page just as they put new stocks online.

No it's not a typo, there are actual rumors of Nvidia making a 450$ 3060 with 12 gb of ram. The Asus Tuf model even resurfaced , the name is 3060 Ultra....

I say wait. For considering different options, look at the total performance in tflops on techpowerup.
