    I don't mind not having one today, but I'm just hoping it's not 6 months of scrounging around to try and get one.

    I stopped by my local Best Buy this morning, only because I had to go to the post office, and they told me that both PS5 and 3080 cards aren't being sold in their stores, only online lol.

    Apparently redditors and others are trolling resellers and bidding up the price to push people off from paying retail prices and then cancelling/not paying to screw the seller's.

    People were paying more than $1200 for 2080 TI's very recently, so there will be a ton of people that are happily spending $1200 for a 3080. Seems like they should just wait a week and try the 3090 release for a similar price though...

    Well, that is a bit different IMO. It makes sense for a lot of people to buy 4 cards for $2800 and resell them easily for $4800. There is not going to be a huge resale market on a $2,000 card. That is already pushing the limits on what 99.9% would spend.

    Asus TUF Gaming RTX 3080 OC versus RTX 3080 FE:

    Same system, both running maxed Tomb Raider after 30 minutes = TUF Gaming was 15 (!) degrees C cooler than the FE. This is huge. Both were about 42d at the noise level.

    Test performed by Hardware Unboxed.

    Microcenter near me had big ass signs outside saying they were sold out and don't know when stock is coming. Talked to a few guys in there and there was a line that started last night were people were camping for the cards...

    Yea... i can wait. Anyone that buys these cards on markup sites can suck a dick.

    Someone correct me if this has changed, but as of yesterday this was accurate.

Once they sell out in 10seconds that's it, you don't get them or you pay 200-1200 over retail. Gpus aren't shoes, they aren't McRibs, they'll be back in stock. And when they sell out again, they'll restock again.

    There is zero reason to pay over retail on one of these and not wait, idc what card people are coming from.

    Looks like Gigabyte accidentally confirmed that a 16 GB 3070, a 20 GB 3080, and 8 GB 3060 will be coming out.

    So if you didn't win yesterday, might not be so bad.

    Is the bottle neck for hitting 4k/60 at the memory tho? Wounder how much more those will cost.
