Phones are not a good idea "your call is important to us" etc with hundreds of calls in the queue. It is a world wide problem that is hard to deal with. OverClockers are trying to sort something but it is only for long term forum members with over 2000 posts. Physically going to a shop would be better but that isnt practical at the moment. What ever they do someone will say that it isnt fair.

the video the comment from OC staff His video is accurate and I agree it won't be until 2023 until things recover, irrelevant of what mining does. But he is missing one major point. Yes the demand is through the roof, but that demand is mostly down to greedy scalpers. The simple fact is the scalpers have got so smart with their BOT's and scripts that anything that goes live gets bought up immediately and now no matter what we try seems to be futile. A few examples, we put some 6700 XT live last week at MSRP, brand new product never seen before so its not like scripts/BOTs could have these stored, but the fact was they had sold out in an instant. Even putting product in none graphic card sections and its an instant sell out. When 3080 launched BTC and mining boom was not in the news, but the cards were been scalped from day one. If we eradicate scalpers, the demand would drop massively, in fact its so bad I think nearly half the demand currently is literally scalpers, the reasoning is these people can make hundreds of pounds/dollars per SKU by selling on and you can bet they are not classing it as income and therefor not paying any taxes either. It has for many people become a huge revenue generator and as such they have BOTs and scripts written to buy absolutely anything that appears on any website in an instant meaning that regular gamers and even the miners stand little to no chance of actually buying a card. So yes it could be worded that yes we are all the problem, but delete the scalpers from this equation and I think things would be vastly better. The fact is the scalpers are scanning every webshop selling GPU's, everywhere worldwide creating instant sell out, its a worldwide issue that is causing sell out and the only cure is that supply can vastly improve or resellers try to do their best to prevent it, but its near impossible as even NVIDIA and AMD themselves cannot stop it and even sites like Amazon cannot stop it who have major IT infrastructure. I monitor a lot of FB pages and I see the same people selling cards on a regular basis, clearly just scalping. Whilst the scalp market can still turn a profit, the demand is gonna be way beyond where it would normally be, mining can die tomorrow but the scalpers will keep buying whilst they can turn a profit. The only real cure is a massive uplift in supply, of course once lockdowns finally end then regular demand will reduce as people will start spending money on holidays, eating out again etc.

I would re use both of your SSDs as additional storage and dedicate one just to downloads. That way you have the install .exe for your bits and bobs, eg teamspeak, mods etc

PWCG P-38 Lightning Strikes Co-op Campaign

410 BG. 2 pilots, 2nd lt Major Major and 2nd lt David Crosby flew straight to the target area, as we didnt have a flight plan,and searched for targets. We flew low level and located several groups of enemy forces. We then proceeded to drop bombs on them scoring 7 hits each. Not wishing to get shot at more than we needed to, we headed home and made safe landings at our home field. -

New Game Launcher, New Set Up

Hello everybody, Another week has passed and our work has moved another step forward. The Collector AAA vehicle, 25-mm automatic gun installed on the chassis of the GAZ-MM truck will be finished soon - the physical model of the truck is ready, as are the automatic gun animations and functioning, all animations of the chassis and the crew as well as gun ballistics and damage model are also done. The correction system for the gunsight that turned out to be incredibly complex kinematically is in. The unique audio and more detailed tech of the tires visualization and deformation are icing on the cake. All these elements have something new and are believed to be interesting for the end-user to familiarize with and learn something new. At the moment we're improving the visual look of the new vehicle, the texturing of the gun, and apply the new DVD tech we talked about in our previous Dev Blog to make the result the best. Meanwhile, a part of our mapping department works on improving the railyards on the Rheinland map (Bodenplatte project). They aren't the most striking or shiny detail of the numerous cities on this map, but they do improve the overall visual look of the scene and make the landscape more realistic. This time we can show you the screenshots of the railroad structures in the cities of Cologne, Brussels, Bonn, Duisburg, Liege, Mainz, Frankfurt am Mein. -
I havent given up hope just yet.....
-
Maybe not this year then . Next year should be AWESOME to make up for the missing airshows!
-
Is there any update on the show?
-
It has been mad for some time Nick
-
The 3070 is probably entry level for VR which is the point.
-
this could be something to do https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/70363-d-day-campaign/

I dont think the 3060ti would be a vast improvement on the 1080. Certainly not worth thinking about.
-
I would expect them to be the base Founders Edition. Scan is the UK distributor for Nvidia. As you can see from the above posts ALL graphics cards are rare but some, 3080 I am looking at you, and even more rare.

There again last week there were no 3090s incoming and 4 days later Asus 3090 TUF OC x8 Asus 3090 Strix OC x4 Gigabyte 3090 Gaming OC x5 Gigabyte 3090 Master x5 Asus 3080 TUF OC x8 Gigabyte 3070 Gaming OC x30 So things can get better but very slowly. At least BB will get my 1080oc when my card comes in

I dont feel so bad about being 100 yards behind a FW190 who was flying straight and level, and having NO AMMO left -

I should be there tonight. I have my second covid jab at 6:57 pm tonight so I might be late if they are a bit behind sticking needles in people. -
Hello Kev, January 27th I think. Word is that there is nothing expected this month This is from the Overclockers forum. The highlighted ones are I think about £3000+ 27 pre orders !!!!!!!!
-
Not looking good for me yet Gigabyte Eagle OC - 24 shipped, 25 back orders left - Zero incoming At least I am number 4

Yes Colin, Go to Quick Mission, Select Stalingrad winter and then click the tank icon to the Northwest of Stalingrad City. Simples
-
Spawn in northwest of Stalingrad (tank icon) I did it in a T-34. Drove along a road to a convoy and killed it. Then headed towards Stalingrad along a road that leads to a railway track. Killed a AAA gun that shot at me, and then headed northeast to the northern end of Stalingrad. The shattered buildings, smoke and the incoming heavy shells giving huge explosions was very atmospheric.
-
Hi Colin, issues for me are low speed in most areas, 10kph max. Losing my way in the woods (all of them) waypoint "a" has adverse camber and my tank slid. also waypoint d was similar. I took the right option near the destination and my driver said that the engine and steering were damaged. I got there in the end.
