I have literally never seen a 3080 in stock since the first day when I was able to secure one by pure luck.
did you add salt to the chipsSorry, I ate all the chips yesterday.
But yeah this sucks, gonna be ages before it gets sorted too by the looks of things. Maybe I can get a 3060 Ti in Summer 2021.
Yup regardless of how much money they throw they'll still be behind what's already been booked by AMD, Apple, etc.
I've moved on with my XSX and PS5. I'll catch them when they are in stock and readily available. If not, I'll stick to console gaming and my 2080Ti.
Not sure if this is because it is the first launch I cared about in the age of the internet, but biggest shit show I have seen. Either I have never seen the cards in stock or it's scalpers asking for massive markups. You have to have been either very lucky, very committed, or both to have got anything at this point.
I have almost made piece with the fact that all signs seem to point to it being deep into next year before I can get one.

Proof of it happening now? Bitcoin mining in GPUs havent been that much of a thing for years now, and AMD GPUs are the ones that tend to perform better for it....
Its both, the demand is very high and they cannot rise the supply fast enough.
You missed AMD launch, which after making fun of Nvidia fucking up their launch, made a worse one in all aspects!
Not sure why you can't use Google yourself, but...

If that source isn't good enough for you there is plenty more.
Well that sucks for those hoping AMD would come in and save them. I am all in on team green until AMD shows they have a strong answer to ray tracing and DLSS, so you are correct in that after the reviews started to trickle out I stopped paying any attention.
So basically a note calculation from an analyst. It seems it is more related to miners buying it outside the grid rather than selling directly to the miners knowingly. Kay.
It fucking sucks. It doesnt help that consumer electronic demands in the age of confinement are through the roof and makes everything harder to make too!
Do you want less GPUs from Nvidia or more, because switching to TSMC would mean way, way less GPUs than Samsung makes. TSMC nodes are fully booked, just take a look at how AMD is doing with Ryzen and RX 6000.
Guess whole a lot of entertainment electronics companies missed this memo.
Geez what a surprise, after all only Apple, AMD, Intel, Sony, Microsoft and Nvidia launched entirely new lines, with bargain prices and all around all being great purchases, weeks before the holiday season and one of the most hyped game releases in history. One with a ferocious pandemic keeping people inside in front of TV and buying laptops and PCs for work.
Who could've known!?

i mean, as bad as nvidia's shipments are, they are orders of magnitude better than amd's
so i'm not sure how switching to tsmc would help
Nvidia literally can't control who buys them - it's out of their hands. It's not like they're taking their entire stock of cards (and all the cards made by third parties, which make up the bulk of those cards) and scalping them to the crypto community.
Blame bots for sucking up the limited supply of cards. The crypto miners are probably the ones running the bots anyway.
As much ass as this sucks, I'm glad Samsung is at least viable. TSMC being the de-facto chip manufactureres makes it that much easier for them to bend people over and charge higher prices, which then gets passed along to consumers. It's not perfect, but competition is needed in this space.
Q4? Does she mean Q4 of next year?
Nvidia GPU generations only last like 2 years. If you can't go out and buy an Ampere GPU until this time next year, they will have been hard to find for more than half their lifespan as current-gen products.

I overpaid a little for my 3080 (not scalpers, just an official retailer selling it for a bit more than they usually go here in Brazil) but man am I glad I did that. My 980 was really showing its age and the peace of mind from not having to worry about stock anymore was definitely worth the extra price. I get that most tech companies are struggling to meet demand this year, but this was such a disastrous launch.
Q4 as in the quarter we're currently in, which ends in January. Basically, they expect demand to exceed supply for at least the next couple months.
Sorry, I ate all the chips yesterday.

these are freedom fries, not chips.
Yeah, I've more or less given up on doing any kind of PC upgrade for a while. I don't have it in me to fight with bots while trying to deal with the shitty e-commerce backbone that most of these websites have. I've wasted way too much time this year on that effort.
I've got a PS5. It has excellent games. And that's all I need for now. Hopefully someday it won't be a total shit show to buy new parts (Maybe late next year? But maybe more likely 2022?) and I'll give this another go.

I long ago gave up on getting one this year. I've been looking forward to Spring 2021 upgrades for a while now for how impossible it seems to get a hold of these cards.
Considering Gamers Nexus has stated AIB sources told them that GPU sales have been at Black Friday levels since March, I'm kinda unsurprised Nvidia is behind in meeting the (much higher) demand.
The spring upgrades will be available for everyone in fall 2021 at this rate 😑
There were some rumours floating around that the yield was <10% for GA102, at least they're finally pointing to samsung as an issue over high demand.
She's probably talking Q4 of the financial year

Ah, meant that I'm not expecting a 3080 until Spring. I'm sure the 3080Ti's and whatever else will be out by then, but will probably be far too rich for my blood (and super out of stock for many more months afterwards). I'm just hoping for a 3080 and something in the Ryzen 5xxx line in a few months.
