I saw the video of the people rushing at Microcentre and it's utterly shameless. Reminds me of the mobs who rush for Black Friday sales. Betting a lot of those people are scalpers since you can resell them at double the MSRP.
Thought about getting one and but passing on this. Between how poor for efficiency they are (and since its getting darn hot in the UK), 8GB VRAM and low value for money it gives. Might reconsider a new GPU when BF 2042 is nearing release though.
Funny because all Techtubers are panning the Ti models including GN. Who recently did a scathing review of the 3070Ti saying it not worth it unless you're buying to scalp, or have no working PC/GPU whatsoever.
