Having never been to a MicroCenter, I may have to visit one in the coming years. Make a day trip out of it on the motorcycle. Maybe build a high range system.
Yeah mines a little less than a hour and a half away.
Mine is like 3h one way I think. So it'd be a nice ride. Get a card and all the other stuff. take my time building something instead of smashing F5 and buying what's available.
Yeah I called work. I’m gonna just head there now and get it out of the way. To hell with f5.
Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition (this is a completely separate install from the regular Metro Exodus and was provided as a free update), Control, MS Flight Simulator, Doom Eternal are pretty impressive stuff. Spider-Man Remastered although again, just like Cyberpunk 2077, it may not be updated yet to take advantage of DLSS 3.
The FE seemed to be the unicorn out of the available cards today. I was able to snag a Gigabyte 4090 Windforce from newegg without issue.
Give it some time. Most everything new is out of stock the first few weeks and this is with Nvidia canceling some production after the BC crash. They always want stuff low or out of stock so they can get the highest price. I was almost able to check out at NewEgg a few times and was hours late and not really trying. I think it will be way better than when I tried for weeks to get my 3080. I still wish they would just let folks with a good/long account history just place a flippin preorder and wait it out instead of being treated like animals left to fight with bots or folks that have all day to hit F5.
I have a feeling that stock is being artificially limited to create a fake perception of high demand. We will see in the next few weeks.
I thought about this earlier and I agree mainly because the card is really only good for 4K/100hz+ gaming. I don't think there are many of us out there. Guessing they want artificial scarcity to trigger people on the edge of buying one's FOMO. I didn't see the FE card in stock either I kept checking Nvidia's site and BestBuy, also checked nowinstock and it didn't even register in the log.
BB has high end electronics and PC parts, but you'll never see them in store. Only online. I remember back in the day they'd have some high end product in store and it would just sit there while the cheap stuff disappeared. This is like 10-25 years ago, but they eventually learned to just sell it online. That used to be the best place to get high end graphics cards. 8800 GTX Ultra!
I hope they get fucked. Can I say that?
