It’s a huge gamble for manufacturers to order a large allocation of wafers a year in advance of actual retail sales. The market can shift considerably in that time. They probably didn’t expect Nvidia to shit the bed so badly.
I had luck with Microcenter last week (if you have one near you); checked their website at my preferred location and they had 9070 XTs in stock, went after work and I got one.
I got mine on a Thursday FWIW. The employees didn’t even know they had them in stock, they had to pull it out of a case in the back; had to have been an afternoon truck delivery
Also it is goddamned wonderful as a GPU 😍 ive been replaying Far Cry 6 with maxed out… everything. At 4k, and I’ve got roughly 100 FPS stable. Its absolutely gorgeous
If you really wanna get one and it’s in stock, reserve it for pick up, they’ll hold it for like 3 days and you don’t have to pay until you actually go get it, in case you change your mind or can’t make it in that time.
I would help out their GPU sales if they were ever in stock.

Wait, are you saying if they had more product, they could sell more product?
Sounds like voodoo economics to me!

I have one about an hour away and no luck so far at that location.
Edit: oh damn, they are in stock today!
Edit2: it was one and now its gone :(
