The Great RTX 3060ti Wait and Delivery Thread

Well day 43 for me, and I hate the fact I've practically been forced to spend another £285 for my pc which I ordered on the 1st of Feb just so that it might come sooner than another 2 months. Great. Good luck to the rest of u waiting on the 3060ti

I know its sucks to know that even to switch back to the regular 3060 it costs money not too much but it still shouldn’t and I don’t understand why

Prices are rising on a daily basis due to stock issues, it's going to be like this for a while, it's been all over the news, they have no CPU's for cars, audio products, you name it, worldwide shortage of silicon processors for any product.

So this is... horrible news :cry:

Looks like 3060Tis are just not going to be coming. Switching to a 3070 would cost £281 for me, so I guess I'm getting the AMD... (should mention I'm not aware if that switching to AMD deal is available for everyone or just people who've had particularly long waits)
Best decision I took was going for the 6700xt. Just painful when I see the ray tracing option disabled on cyberpunk but otherwise it’s the same as the 3060ti.

I feel like PC specialist just doesnt care about the 3060ti at this point I haven’t seen one person go into building at this point

I think it's now become a loss-maker for them. They are probably having to buy it in at a much higher price than it was previously. And because they have to honour the cheaper price that we bought it at, they will lose money. Or they persuade us to switch ...

Untrue. It’s because the 3060Ti production process has slowed in favour of the other 3000 series cards, something that is not at all controllable by PC Specialist. It appears that they’re next expecting a 3060Ti restock potentially as far away as June. So they’re giving you options in which you could get your build from them sooner with a GPU. If you remove the graphics card from your order and are able to source a 3060Ti yourself, that’s another way round it.

On Day 51 pre-prod, switched to the 6700 XT, unlikely to see any movement until after bank holiday weekend now so let's all hope for a good week next week 🙏

My build just arrived today after switching to the 3070 on Monday. Running great so far, gave it a quick test in one game and performance has improved massively! Finishing setup of it now, but very happy with it.

From my experience, switching to the 3070 is for sure worth it, or the other AMD card being offered. Was on 31 working days when I switched and didn't seem like it was going anywhere. No regrets at all.

I take this back, turns out right after I said this I went into build!! 51 working days on this order, 96 real days since my original order, and just a few more until I can kick this Dell laptop I've been stuck on into the sea

Thinking about amending my order rather than waiting another 2 months, do you think the 3070 is worth an extra £280?
