Good luck finding a GTX 1070 today

By Jon Martindale Published June 10, 2016

If you can find yourself a GTX 1070 in stock somewhere, it’s probably a good idea to throw some money at it, because getting one anywhere is becoming highly difficult. Granted there are a few scalpers looking to rip people off as they hunt out the new must-have, mid-range card, but for the most part there are almost none available anywhere.

This might seem strange considering how many retailers are out there that ship high-end computer components, but we really did our best to find some today and we just can’t seem to spot many at all.

Newegg has a single listing for the Founders Edition of the GTX 1070, but it’s sold out. BHPhotoVideo has a few options for Asus, EVGA, and the MSI Founders Editions, but none of them are in stock either.

And while you might expect Amazon to at least have something, other than one smart aleck trying to shift one at the exorbitant rate of $1,300 (retail price $450), there’s simply nothing there. You’re encouraged to take a look at the GTX 1080 or GTX 970 instead. Both of these are great cards in their own right, but neither offers the price/performance ratio of a GTX 1070.

Even Nvidia’s own store has run dry.

There do appear to be a few GTX 1070s with system sellers though. BestBuy has a number of CyberPowerPC systems which come with GTX 1070s inside. Likewise Origin PC has the 1070 listed as part of its configurator, so it must have a few in stock for those who want one. The same can be said for iBuyPower.

If you are really desperate to buy yourself a GTX 1070 by itself though, you can find them on Ebay, but much like the aforementioned Amazon listing, the prices are very unfair. They aren’t quite over $1,000 but we still wouldn’t recommend it. If you have that sort of money to burn, just grab a GTX 1080 instead.

Apple just raised the price of its products by hundreds of dollars

Apple shielded customers from memory costs longer than anyone. But the inevitable has happened.

For months, the memory crisis was everyone else’s problem, but it didn't affect Apple. While smartphone and laptop makers quickly gave in, raising prices across their entry-level and flagship products, Apple stood strong, absorbing costs through long-term supplier deals that gave it leverage most brands simply didn’t have.

The situation, I fear, has gotten worse. Earlier today, the Cupertino giant revised the prices for multiple products, including the MacBooks, iPads, and Mac Studio.

This website publicly shames popular sites like Instagram, Netflix, and Spotify for being too lazy to add passkeys

Apple, Google, and Microsoft fully support passkeys, while companies like Netflix and Spotify have offered no explanation for the gap.

A new website is doing something many frustrated security experts have wanted for years. It is publicly naming big companies that still refuse to support passkeys. Called Why No Passkeys, the site tracks major platforms that continue to rely on old-school passwords even as passkeys become the safer option. If you use apps like Instagram, Netflix, or Spotify, you might be surprised to see them on the list.

The website was created by security researcher Scott Helme, who previously teamed up with Troy Hunt in 2017 to launch WhyNoHTTPS, a site that helped push much of the internet toward encrypted browsing.
