Title: RTX 3090 - Where to buy?
Post by: Philip kelly on 2023-01-06, 22:39:07

Hi
I am based in Ireland , and would like to purchase a RTX 3090.
The prices vary so much it's difficult to know where to buy new.

Where do people buy their cards from.
Nvidia are always out of stock.
Thank you

phil

There is a Telegram channel(FE PartAlert) messaging, when a FoundersEdition-Card is available in Europe.Nonetheless you have to be fast( account in that shop already created-credit card info etc.)

I think you might be better off looking for a 4090. I believe most retailers are selling these at RRP and apparently there is a big generational leap between the 3090 and the 4090.

Thank you both for the replies.
Yes but they are being sold for mad money and as I said the difference between the money asked is nutts.
How stores like currys ask for 3k and they are 1.5k on other sites.


Why are the Nvidia cards always out tof stock, is that on purpose, as they sell the licence to produce them and then they take theirs off the market........................

There is stock. You just need to hunt around.
