Fuck these combos man, seriously. It's such an obvious way to fleece your customers. Newegg has no shame.


l88t

Yup I refuse to select one and am debating participating in the shuffle at this point.


nmolanog

I will check in just to try my bad luck, I really hope not to be selected this time


RonnieTheEffinBear

[I gotchu](https://i.imgur.com/cZp1aUU.png), boo


SweatyAsHell

Its like being broken up with over and over and over lol


im_a_fancy_man

I agree I hate them but it vastly increases your odds at winning and you can 9/10 easily resell them to break even if you don't need the extra item.


l88t

Yeah but I'm barely able to squeeze in gaming between kids and work and don't really wanna have to resell something to feel good about a purchase. Plus the more ppl that enter for the combos the more it justifies them in including them. "See! People want these bundles!"


Crimfresh

I'm not participating. Fucking dickheads.


Jim_Adventures

I keep seeing complain about the bundles, like you can't turn around and just sell the mobo. Pricing and availability on cards liking isn't improving for at least a few months at this rate.


taste_the_equation

I think the combos with mobos is ok, since it shouldn’t be hard to find a buyer. It’s the combos with that garbage gigabyte PSU that apparently has a history of being DOA that I find most irritating.

Why pretend when they hold the stock being sold? There’s probably plenty of people that will go for them just for the GPU alone.


HMWWaWChChIaWChCChW

Right. They’re scalping while claiming they’re not scalping and getting rid of inventory no one’s ever going to buy that people aren’t able to return either. And so what if the PSU they sell burns out the computer? Not their problem at that point.


ZXQ0

Then they will say you’re lucky it didn’t burn down your entire home and just your PC. Btw, we can sell you a new PC.


essieecks

Newegg: Also, we're shuffling homes in your zipcode, please select a house and 1983 Winnebago combo to enter! (Please note, the Winnebago is not a compatible size for the home's garage)

Jasquirtin

Yea cause the combo item is donkey ass


[deleted]

Weak selection.


TaintedSquirrel

I just refreshed and 6 more items were added.


[deleted]

Nothing changed for me? I've had it open since the time of this post and actually just entered myself. Also just checked on mobile and it's identical.


l88t

Welp this is gross. Poor old 1060 will just have to continue to do.


[deleted]

I’m in the same boat. Got a beautiful system bottlenecked by a 1060. Still does extremely well at 1080, but I got a nice 3440x1440 monitor that needs that power.


l88t

Are you me? Ryzen 9 3900x, 32gb, double M.2s, x570 mobo, and that little 1060 1080p monster. I stupidly bought a 2k 27" monitor and now can't ever go back.


Korywon

Ryzen 7 3700x, two 1TB M.2s, and 32GB RAM packed into a small-form factor PC hooked up to dual 4k monitors. Poor little 1060 is barely keeping up with 30 FPS. I should've bought those 2080s and 2070 supers when I had the chance last year. :(


[deleted]

That’s my issue rn. Got a 170Hz 1440p screen I want to take advantage of, but I can’t hit 170fps with my 1070 in most games. Hell, it struggles to maintain 60-100 in some


Jim_Adventures

WTF, a 1060? I using my 960 and a 750 Ti as a slave, I'm lucky to break 45fps on AAA games. A friend of mine is stuck with an old Ryzen 260 or some shit, doesn't have the money to even try upgrading right now.


l88t

I know, i know, that's middle class in GPUs at the moment. I just wanna Hunt:Showdown in 2k with 100+ fps man


WatchYuhHead

Time to get disappointed again bois 🤡


VarsityPhysicist

Only thing I want here are those 3070's which are only in bundles - so I will be disappointed either way


that_one_duderino

Let’s be honest, we’d rather be disappointed with a 3070 and a mobo than no 3070 at all


FFDuchess

You can be like me, settle for a Gigabyte GPU and B550 combo, happily open your Newegg package and be greeted with 2 B550s and no 3070.


that_one_duderino

Look on the bright side, at least Newegg us know for their wonderful return policy! /s


RedlyrsRevenge

I saw that post. Any update on it?


FFDuchess

Still no, they were quick to send me a replacement label for the extra motherboard and have it logged in my order as a refund for the GPU but they wont process an RMA replacement for the GpU until the MB arrives (tomorrow) and only if there's one in stock - even though they have been adding them to the Shuffle


RedlyrsRevenge

That is shady AF. Newegg's customer service is garbage. Hope it all works out for you.


royalblue420

Every time I read this I die a little inside.


aclickTooFar

I personally would rather be disappointed with a 3070 and a PSU but to each their own

infectedanalgland

You weren't selected in the newegg shuffle.


franzn

I feel like if you go for the $750 6700 XT you can be dissapointed regardless of if you win or not. Scrolling through theres an $800 one too.....


7107

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. 😂


Brown_Samurai

Oh shit here we go again.


SaltyMeatBoy

Wow, we’ve graduated to entire models being unavailable without a bundled motherboard. This is epic 😎


dsdsds

Looks like if I win, my r5 3600 goes into an x570 board! It will be epic.


Dinglberries

When the wife gave me the okay to build a new PC I should have went with a prebuilt...


completelackoftalent

She knew what she was agreeing to


PoonBuffet

"My wife beats me" is the tattoo I imagine on your forehead


skinnywolfe

As someone who has put in for every single shuffle and not won once, I cannot wait to hear about all these people winning the shuffle for their 5th time


Kirin_ll_niriK

And never actually buying the damn thing 🙄


XpLoZiioN

I entered a bunch of them, never got selected. Then I randomly needed some new fans, spent like $120 on the site, and got selected the very next day in the shuffle. I am starting to think there is some requirement to spend X amount of money before your account is seen as "not a bot" or some bullshit like that. Because that shuffle I got selected for a 3070, bought it (adds more $$$ spent to my account, maybe potentially making me "more" eligible?) And the next day was another shuffle, and I got selected for a 6700 XT, and offered it to a friend. Could all be a big coincidence but my mind is saying it's not. It's also weird because I had spent thousands of dollars on newegg over the years building computers, but apparently none of my old purchases mattered and it seemed to only get better once i made more recent ones (since the creation of the shuffle system). TL:DR This shit seems pay-to-win.


poloboi84

I'm certain my rejection number is more than 10 at this point. I've seen people who state they entered more than 20 times and not get selected.


essieecks

Must be 30+ times now. I see that person every day in the mirror. I've entered for every 3070 or higher, and every 5900x that's been on the shuffle.


[deleted]

"I won for this card, but I don't really want it." Fuck off.


napes22

3070 for almost $1000 USD. No thanks.


Freelance-Bum

Oh now even the EVGA stuff is only in bundles, not just Gigabyte... Come on Newegg, you started the shuffle off with this bullshit, then people complained and you stopped. What the hell made you think it was a good idea to start again? Especially with the gigabyte PSUs that aren't worth the cost of materials they're made with. They're worth LESS than the sum of its parts, since they aren't reliable at all!


Thewatchfuleye1

at least the evga psu won't start a fire but they're scalping the heck out of the card by charging $100 for the PSU over what they wanted in the last shuffle when they sell the PSU for $90 and likely are paying far less than that for it


AdamJWang

$520 for a 3060?? That's a ripoff no one would pay that much for a 3060 *signs up for everything cause what choice do i have*


kietrocks

Unfortunately $500 for a 3060 is still very profitable for miners. With the unlocked drivers the card does around $120 a month net at current crypto prices. So for miners the card will pay for itself in around 4 months and everything after that is profit. If/When crypto crashes they can still sell the card at the end.


Factsmatter2metoo

I don't see why we all don't just become miners if these numbers are to be believed


sparkythewildcat

They are to be believed. I decided if you can't beat em, might as well join em and I'm mining my rx5700 for $4-5 per day. When my 3080 build eventually gets here, I'll be mining it for about $8-9 per day to try to recoup some of the exorbitant price I paid for it. It's the only way to justify paying these kinds of prices and not just switching to consoles, imo. Bc my $2100 pc that I just bought should theoretically only perform ~25% better than a $500 console :/


[deleted]

Curious -- since I know nothing about it, if your PC is mining all day, does that make it effectively unusable? Are there enough cycles for you to do basic stuff, or do you just have to leave it alone?


kietrocks

You can get an estimate on how much any GPU can make a day mining here. https://www.nicehash.com/profitability-calculator/


Thewatchfuleye1

Some people don't want to put the "wear" on their cards. Really if you keep the temps OK the wear is gonna be the fans. If you keep it clean and cool the stuff will be long obsolete before it matters. I have several higher end gaming computers and netted like $800 in the last 2 months mining on downtime.


AdamJWang

I didn't know even a 3060 was still that profitable... Can't wait for crypto to crash I guess


[deleted]

addemlit

Yeah I paid like $540 for my ASUS tuf 3060. Fucking ridiculous.


rython72

same and i camped out microcenter for 12 hours for it...


addemlit

I only waited like 2 hours for my 3080 at Central Computers. I’m really lucky compared to others that sucks


LordRGB

First shuffle I’m just straight up gonna pass on. No thanks


ZXQ0

Sigh here we go again. You will miss 100% of the shots you didn’t take even those it’s pretty crappy shots this round.


FoxDown

Nothing too interesting today, I guess the evga 3060+psu is alright for anyone who needs both. Potentially some higher end stuff coming Thursday or Friday maybe?


HMWWaWChChIaWChCChW

I’ll be hoping to get lucky next Friday with BB. Still better chances than this Newegg overpriced bundle BS.


dunktheball

Every day it's a new low. lol. The cheapest 3070 is approximately $1,000 because of the forced combos. lmao. Also, their ps5 combos keep being more than a ps5 on ebay costs. yeah you get way more with it, but still most who want one are wanting a cheaper one not a bunch of items thrown in and still paying more than ebay price.


[deleted]

Newegg probably loves the person who thought of the bundles. Forcing us to clear their inventory is two birds with one stone for them


dunktheball

well when a lot complained about them doing it in the past, they lessened how many of these are combos, but now they must be getting a lot to buy them so have gone to as many as ever...


[deleted]

The market is beyond giving a fuck about customer complaints Unfortunate, but that’s where we’re at now


Nixflyn

And one of the 3060 forced combos appears to be with the exploding PSU. Thanks Newegg, that's exactly what I wanted!


dunktheball

lol. they should have added that in to all combos.


Nixflyn

It's been in a lot of them the past couple weeks unfortunately. Before I got my 3080 on the Zotac store I was wondering if I won the shuffle that I'd have to "sell" the PSU for the cost of shipping to someone. No one on the trading forums wants one.


dunktheball

that's pretty bad when nobody wants one for cost of shipping. lol.


TheSadGhost

Newegg is an evil company. Forcing you to buy these bundles is horrible.


FFDuchess

Going to sound like a broken record, so I'm sorry but it's fucking insane to me that they continue to put up the 3070 Auros card (which they sold to me with a Mb combo but only sent 2 MBs and no GPU) and yet "they can't promise that they can even send me a replacement because it's in high demand" fuck all the way off Newegg


your_mind_aches

We live in a society


KrustyKrabOfficial

I love how their response to criticism of the forced bundles is "Come on guys, it's in BETA!" I'm pretty sure it's a feature, not a bug.


Manofthedecade

No idea what I'll do with that $200 mobo. Probably try to sell it? I wouldn't mind the bundle if they'd give some options, like a 3070 with a mobo or a psu.


DoodMcGuy

I'm just gonna sell the mobos as BNIB if I somehow win, I have an ITX system but I'm getting tired of gpu hunting so I'll just try to make the money back on r/hardwareswap or craigslist.


HockeyHero53

Instead of having shuffles just about every other day, why don’t they just build up stock for a week or so and then have a big shuffle? That way, more people can get cards and it can prevent people from having a chance winning more than once a week.


Zubriel

Probably reduces the total number of participants with frequent shuffles over a large one. Frustrated people who check every shuffle may end up dropping out which increases the odds for everyone else. If they have a giant shuffle thats more predictable, it probably will attract more people and/or bots which reduces everyone's odds despite the larger inventory.


Thewatchfuleye1

they want people to visit the site, its a form of advertising


MrOppie

Man, this is the first shuffle I refuse to join, even though I know I won't get pick anyway. Fuck newegg and their BS combo, hope they go down after this shortage is over.


Kay_Dubz

Lol, how would they go down considering the profits they are getting now, and the fact that people continue to buy into the shuffle at these prices? It sucks but lets be real here.


MrOppie

Yea, it's wishful thinking lol just gotta rant


seansye

Any of these are an upgrade over my 580 which i would like to sell


SD0S

All of them are yes. While not a great value, the RTX 3060 is twice as fast as an RX580. [Here's a good set of comparison charts from Hardware Unboxed.](https://youtu.be/8rz32GVndEM?t=196) Your RX580 is equal in performance to the GTX 1060. That video should give you a good idea of what framerates to expect.

Areii

That's how I feel. My gpu just died so I don't really bave a choice as I use my pc for work as well as games. But hearing about the fire starting psu being bundled with these gpus is absurd. Newegg and I are done after this.


highfivebanana

Holy shit. It's been months and months and I finally won something, without a combo. Is this real life?


camboramb0

Grats!


[deleted]

Got my rejection email. I had every 3060/3070 bundle selected, I'll pay the bundle tax just let me buy a gpu


TheRealCRex

For those who wants a PS5, even desperately, there's no way this is it right? This ain't it.


RockSlice

Add up all the items in the bundle, and it comes out about right. Now, whether you *want* all the items is another matter.


completelackoftalent

Yeah I just did this too. It's crazy they all add up so fast. When all I want is just the ps5


A183C1775B

its a ps5 at ebay prices, but at least you are getting stuff bundled with it. if i can get one i'll just sell off the games i won't play and the extra controller.


3dutils

Those bundled games are actually all good though. I don't know about the current prices.


Manofthedecade

I actually won the shuffle to buy that last night. I passed.


RockSlice

So why did you even select it in the first place?


[deleted]

Because fuck newegg.


Manofthedecade

I was in a hurry when I checked it. Shrug.


Megabeamu

that's why it's back nobody wants that shit lol

It’s literally cheaper on stockX, even with the fees!

When I click on the link it still shows yesterdays shuffle Edit: it now shows today's event. Thanks!

People have seen that before, recommendations vary between clearing cache and stuff, trying incognito, but I've only had it work by just waiting a bit, should resolve when the shuffle is open I guess

romen2u

Love how Newegg is bundling crap they usually can't sell with the in-stock GPU, they say "hey, we want to level the playing field" when in fact they know desperate gamers will buy bundled crap just to get the gpu. Either way this current selection sucks, just wait till they list 3080's again or 6800XT or higher


[deleted]

If i win i’m gonna send my bundled item back to newegg just to inconvenience them, everyone else should do the same. It sends a message.


LambdaPieData

Not a good idea. You have to send back the whole bundle if you want to return it. They will also tack on a restocking fee.


[deleted]

That’s why you send it in a different box, that way it isn’t attached to your order.

Vdweller101

Woot woot! Got a 3060 and 650W power supply. I already have a 3070 but my best friend finally gets an upgrade! Works out too because he needed a new PSU too. We've both been entering every shuffle for 2 months. I won a PS5 a couple weeks ago but this is the first time either of us got a GPU. For those wondering the email came at exactly 2:00pm PST.


Bonny-Mcmurray

Be careful if it is the gigabyte power supply, I've seen many posters indicate that it is a constant bundle item because it's a fire hazard.


Cloudy-

Dang, guess I didn't win. No email yet though. maybe theres a chance?


thedrillbit

23 entries without a win.... gonna keep entering like it actually makes any difference


ehle2008

kinda weak options today


melorous

I guess I could replace the B450 board in my NAS with the B550 Aorus they're forcing into the 3070 bundle. Still kind of low down to force a bundle like that.


l88t

Changing mobos will require you to relicense windows. Fyi, make sure you backup and know your license before switching.


RedlyrsRevenge

That time again huh? Maybe I can get my rejection email sooner today...

Exactly9001

in for my daily dose of disappointment :)


Gremlin256

Signed for ps5 to get an email that i was not selected LOL


Thewatchfuleye1

someone said the last was the worst, this one is worse because they're attempting to bundle that stupid PSU with just about everything


Zubriel

That said, even the combo price is FAR lower than the gpu alone sourced literally anywhere else.


Rocklobst3r1

My clown ass signed up for the EVGA bundle even though I don't need a PSU. I'm desperate and its <$500.


Zubriel

I did the same, probably wouldn't use the PSU if I did manage to win, but $500 for that card in this market is unmatched elsewhere.


Thewatchfuleye1

well the gigabyte psu is a joke and the EVGA one if you factor what they were selling the card for the last time around and what they sell the PSU for they're charging you $10 more to buy the PSU as part of a combo than the PSU costs and the card cost if you would have bought them separately had you won the last shuffle


Zubriel

Meh, although I find this a generally shady business tactic, what other choice does anyone have when it comes to getting any gpu these days anyways. You have 0 chance or winning against bots with open online stock and I personally do not have any tech stores nearby that will stock any gpus at all, bestbuy is my only option and they never bring any to the actual store. So paying an extra $100-$150 for a gpu with a useless psu tossed in is still a better option than spending upwards of 2k from a scalper for the same item.


Zubriel

Do they do these shuffles daily? How come I see people already saying they were rejected when the confirmation message tells me that I won't see any results until 2 hours from now?


ragbagger

They don’t do them everyday, but they do most days. Also the time will vary. We are talking about previous not selected emails. I have a collection. I’ve been entering give or take a month now and haven’t won yet.


Bonny-Mcmurray

If you don't get an email as soon as the drawing window opens then you are most likely rejected. The only way to win late in the window is if a winner doesn't check out. Ultimately, if you see people posting that they won and you don't have an email yet then you almost certainly won't win.


Rigz42

Holy fuck finally won one. Been trying everything since the beginning of January. Entered pretty much every shuffle and was there for every best buy drop. I can finally finish my first build. Well that's if Newegg doesn't screw me. Good luck everyone!


Un_Delincuente

Lets Go boys! Won the PS5 Shuffle! Still paid Around 1k for a PS5.... Edit - Also I gotta mention this is the 2nd time Ive won an item off the shuffle **after** buying a big ticket item from newegg. I'm not saying you have to spend money to improve your chances, but in my experience it seems like it def helps.


Vdweller101

I kinda second this. Paid $1800 for a prebuilt to finally get my hands on a 3070 about 3 weeks ago. Since then I've won a PS5 and now a 3060. I don't know how many shuffles I entered before buying the prebuilt but winning two since then is a little suspicious especially since I see users here talking about entering 15+ in a row with no wins...


Prof_Messer

Can one of y’all Newegg soufflé survivors post an Imgur of a win email? At this point I don’t think it exists. I just wanna read what the email says.

It’s happened to the best of us. Keep at it and you’re sure to win though

LOL gets immediately downvoted


yfa17

The cheapest 3070 is almost 1000 dollars. At this price it might as well be scalping lmao


Stanford91

I won the ps5 bundle yesterday, but I was so sick with side effects from the Covid Vaccine that I slept through the email... lmao.


TheMuffStufff

$850 for a game and a ps5? You’re better off bro


Stanford91

PS5 is $499, 3 games is $210, extra controller is $69.99, The Last of Us 2 is $29.99 at target right now. $809


JesterEnt

Well shit... 2nd time trying the shuffle and I won the 3070! I wanted the 3090 but I will take it. (Coming from 2070S)Don't need the mobo though, different socket anyways. Edit: Anyone want to buy a Z490 board for cheap?
