Haha, it's a PC graphics card, there is a huge shortage of them at this time, they're selling for double online. I was able to snag one for MSRP after joining a waiting list.

The one it's replacing is actually water cooled, comes with a small radiator.

For those that are still unsure, I'm not entirely certain this product description will help. LOL.

The EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 provides players with the ability to vanquish 1080p and 1440p gaming, while providing a quality NVIDIA RTX experience and a myriad of productivity benefits. The card is powered by NVIDIA Ampere architecture, which doubles down on ray tracing and AI performance with enhanced RT cores, Tensor Cores, and new streaming multiprocessors. With 12GB of GDDR6 memory, high-end performance does not have to be sacrificed to find a card for gaming and everyday use. Combined with the next generation of design, cooling, and overclocking utilizing EVGA Precision X1, the EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 Series redefines what it means to be built for gaming and productivity.

Because I know you don't think about ray tracing and AI performance on your Windows 7 computers.

Ok, received my new levers today, they look kinda spacey and futuristic but should improve driving very well - unfortunately the SOB of a seller attached the wrong adapters to make them fit for my bike, so I have to return them and waiting for the right ones, bummer

So go to a college.

Or don't you have the means yet?

When I graduated from the (country's best) university I had to walk to save on public transport (couldn't easily afford another bus ticket, etc.). They say in UK you can drive a BMW right out of school: https://f20.1addicts.com/forums/show....php?t=1825655.

And I got stuck a few times before I realized I needed that "technique" to engage the reverse gear in my brand new BMW (it ran in very quickly though).

Hold up. Can we discuss THIS please before we get into all the other things in your garage I'd love to have? Lol

What is this?!! I see racing harnesses lol.

I paid $890 + tax, I can list it on ebay for $1900 right now and I'd be creating a shipping label when I wake up, the prices are absolutely insane but so is the demand. I'm still on a list for a 3090, if I get that this one is getting sold. Funny thing is that this will replace a 2 year old water cooled 2080 which will fetch up to what I paid for this card so a free upgrade for me. Too bad I could only get one and it's going in my living room/VR PC.

This chip shortage needs to stop.

It's not just pc's either. Ford has been doing "build shy" where they build all the cars and sit them on the lot until the chips arrive lol. It's wild.

This is with the Bronco's but someone spotted a similar situation with the F150's as well.

Crazy times we live in.

I had a Globalstar phone for years. My DW carried it for emergency calls when she was doing field work in remote places where the "Can you hear me now?" guy still has never been to. It is not a practical replacement for a cellular phone, and doesn't work well in urban areas or indoors.....
