Yeah but i doubt the situation will be different in US.
Chinese New Year fest is also coming up which will worsen the situation accross the Globe.
So is this the first "official" recognition by the vendor and supplier of the return of mining rigs?
chinese new years is saturday so expect plants in china to be down for at least 3 weeks, those in taiwan a week and that doesnt take into account turnover and time it takes to retrain staff
I gave up on 3080 and just grabbed the first 3070 I could get. At this point a decent deal on a 2080ti would not be a bad alternative either, it outperforms the 70 in lots of cases.
What's crazy to me is thinking of the fact that 3080 will be yesterday's jam by the time it's more easily available (if that happens). Might as well put that fund aside for a 4080.
Bang bang

Imagine I'm shooting you with a gun made out of RTX cards.

The 6800/6800XT availability has been noticeably worse, so presumably we could be looking something like that?
I'm going to be using this 970 until the end of time, if it isn't miners or scalpers driving the prices to unaffordable levels it's mass shortages. Is it too much to ask for a mid-range card to be available at RRP before its old hat and a new product is about to launch?
Only makes sense, Chinese new year leads to all factories being closed for around 2-3 weeks and this time because of all the shortages there is nothing surplus left of any stock.
From what I've seen of retailers in the UK AMD have already told them there won't be any more Ryzen CPU's until next month.

Here's hoping by the time 4XXX comes out production lines will be back to normal. That's when I plan to upgrade from my 1080
Glad my 1080ti is still going strong. Hopefully for everyone's sake the production is able to catch up soon.
Trying to play CP2077 on my 1070 was what made me realise he was finally dead. 1080p/High wasn't enough for me.
Got a 3070 coming tomorrow though!
On one hand, I'm glad I've decided to leave off with PC gaming for the time being. Seems like it's completely shitting the bed, even harder than on the console space, and after dealing with the stress of said console space I'd rather not go through that experience again. I'll come back in when things like stock, next-gen performance, RTX, etc are further dealt with.
On the other hand, the selfish Capitalist side of me is kicking itself for agreeing to sell my entire PC to a family member for £800 at a time where I could have made a killing due to GPU shortages.

Damn, that's just sad...
I'm still on the 9/22 EVGA queue for the 3080😂
I'll probably get my notification around Summer.

There's still plenty of launch day (September 17) orders yet to be fulfilled in Europe and prices have increased roughly 30-80% from launch. Great release by Nvidia, but at least companies are putting more and more models and variants out there for no reason at all because they can't even fulfill existing orders. Nice little mess all in all.
The most frustrating part of this stupid mess is that Asus is releasing ridiculously small amounts of non-OC models while releasing way more OC ones.
I have a RTX 3080 TUF non-OC order from September 20th. If I had ordered the OC version instead, I would have my card now. Fuck you Asus.

My 1080p gaming monster basic 2060 cost me around $300 a year ago. Now it's like $750 here. For a fucking 2060! Glad I went for it back then and don't really need an upgrade for a couple years at least.
Even a basic 1660 is upwards of $600 in my country. It's downright impossible to build a budget pc here right now, and it doesn't look like the situation will change in the foreseeable future.

Been on the fence if I wanted to jump from a 2070 Super to the 3080 but at least the decision is being made for me lol
I just gave up on ever getting a 3080. i broke down and got a 3090 once my retailer of choice offered me one at MSRP. Yeah, it was stupid expensive and more than I planned to spend originally, but scalper prices for 3080 are reaching similar values here, so why not get more power and RAM instead of rewarding those damn scalpers?
Oh god, listen how I rationalized buying a completely overpriced GPU. This whole situation is just crazy.

Ended up running across a Series s randomly at Fred Meyers Sunday and decided to pick it up. I'll skip another gen or two before rebuilding the pc (or just building a new one) and save a bunch of money by not paying scalpers.
