Getting a graphics card has been pretty hard lately, but the launch of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti (and the RTX 3070 Ti, but that is on June 10th) might be your best shot at getting a graphics card. Here’s how retailers are going to be selling their stock of graphics cards tomorrow.
Stores Like Micro Center & BestBuy Are Going Brick & Mortar For The Launch Of The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti
BestBuy will only be selling partner models of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti online. However, BestBuy will not be selling any Founders Edition cards online, rather it will be selling the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Founders Edition at select stores. To be specific, the RTX 3080 Ti will be sold at 81 stores in the United States. BestBuy will be the only store in the US selling the Founders Edition card. In order to have an opportunity to get one of these graphics cards, you have to arrive at BestBuy before 7:30 AM local time as employees will start handing out tickets at that time. If you receive a ticket, you will be guaranteed the opportunity to purchase an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Founders Edition card. For more information on this process, visit BestBuy’s info page.
As for the custom models of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, BestBuy will be selling them online, but the exact drop time is unknown. All the cards will be drop at the same time and will be available to purchase. Normally, after you click add to cart, BestBuy will put you into a queue to add the item to your cart. Once you make it to the cart screen, you have to select a location where you will pick the card up. Make sure you do this as fast as possible as items are not reserved when in your cart.
If you are lucky enough to get the opportunity to buy a graphics card, you are looking at paying $1,199 for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Founders Edition and even more for custom models. If you are looking for more info on the RTX 3080 Ti, we have a full review of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti.
