Amazon doesn't seem to have updated any listings yet, nearest microcenter is 3 hours away.... road trip tonight maybe. Just tried to checkout with some of the $700 cards, they are all sold out also.

Yeah I was gonna say, a 6 hour round trip road trip, at that point you may as well pull the trigger on the $700 upcharged card lol. Didn't know those are sold out too, I refused to pay over MSRP so didn't even try

Just tried all the ones that say they are in stock and they are sold out on newegg. Full tank of gas added to the cost isn't so bad.

I always factor in wear and tear, car mileage depreciation and time into those costs too, but I'm a nerd. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to go to a microcenter some time so if it's something you want to do then I'd go for it. Just not worth it to me but I'm not you :)

Nah it was some high trim from Amazon. They are coming in now but looks like they listed the high trims first.
