NVIDIA's new graphics cards (GPU) have been released, and you might be wondering where to buy NVIDIA RTX 30-series graphics cards. These Ampere-powered GPUs deliver a significant performance boost over RTX 20-series cards, and they're crushing the list of best graphics card options. They're also battling it out with AMD's new Radeon RX 6000 GPUs. Availability has been poor so far, so much so that NVIDIA apologized for a messy launch, but it's still good to know where to look to get your hands on these cards as stock rotates in and out. [1]

Figure 1. Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti

Figure 1 shows The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti was announced at Computex 2021 alongside the RTX 3070 Ti. It is touted as being twice as fast as the GTX 1080 Ti in terms of rasterization performance, and it should outperform the RTX 3080 thanks to an extra 2GB of VRAM, more CUDA cores, more RT cores, more Tensor cores, and a higher TDP. It's also about $500 more than the RTX 3080 before any of the commonplace scalping and gouging.

Best Buy currently has listings for cards from NVIDIA (FE), EVGA, Gigabyte, MSI, and ASUS, though none are in stock at time of writing. Amazon has a number of cards listed, though they all have prices far above anything reasonable. B & H and Newegg are also retailers where you'll find stock.[1]
