Thank you very much for the review HH!
I remember those days when a **70 TI could get almost as the **80 version with some little overclock. This is the worst rtx 30 from the series until now

Steam coming out of my ears (!!) with everyone involved, incl retailers like Newegg, selling cards for upwards of $2K US. Will I buy *any* GPU silicon from these industry-wide colluding crime bosses? Absolutely not. Don't even THINK abut blaming China or crypto either: it's way more widespread thievery in motion. Check with me in a couple of years.

Nice review. I guess NVidia's next trick will be to make BSOD drivers.

I sold my 2070S after ordering 3080.little did I know what was gonna happen to the market,but fortunately just before it exploded I got a 1070 strix for 150eur cause some poor soul ordered a 3070 and tried to offload his old gpu.I thought at this price it was a good buy even if I was gonna keep it as a backup gpu,plus it was gonna allow me to save on cpus and buy ones without igpu.Best decision ever,dunno what I would do without it.And I saved 25eur already buying an F-sku instead of igpu one,future purchases will be non-igpu too.
No need to repaste mine,2GHz oc with temps staying in mid 50s and some sick rgb.I may do a 2x120mm fan upgrade,there's 4-pin pwm fan connectors on the card's pcb.how nice is that ? Sips power too, 160-170w after oc.

Well knowing that this market was gonna be flipped up on its head months before it happened I fully prepared as much as I could to make sure I got a card ASAP knowing I may fell have backup plans.

I secured a rx 580 for $150 (my backup card used between gpus / while watercooling teardown is occurring.

Then I sold my 2080ti for $1050 a few weeks before release (when they were becoming hard to find already).

On launch day I said I would not sleep til I got a card secured (as in shipped no "pre-orders" would count (though I got those too).

After 8 hours of chasing my notifications (ones I put together myself running on not only my desktop but my phone as well) my notifications were finally able to beat all the others early enough that I secured a card Asus tuf 3080 for msrp ($699).

I ran no bots or anything automated just everyone's discord notify and followed all the Twitter people plus the usual nowinstock type places but like I said I also knew counting on them meant fighting 1000s of other users getting the exact same ping.

So I had my own setup put together and ready to go day 1 with alarms that were like nuclear sirens and couldn't be easy shut up (to make sure I didn't miss any 3am stock drops).

It worked for me like I said after 8 hours but it was so useful all my friends asked me to try and get them cards too.

Within 2 weeks I had 5 of us covered and in 6 all 9 of us had 3080s.

I stopped after that and left things be but with the 3080ti launch I knew I would like to have it and had a friend who was adament about getting a 3080 and wanted the ti but he also wanted to mine.

So we made a deal and if I could land a 3080ti he would pay for it and take my 3080 as trade.

Now as of today the 3080ti has arrived and my upgrade is complete.

I haven't spent ANY money in a gpu upgrade since 2017 when I got my sli 1080ti's and had to pay out of pocket some for them off trade for my 980ti sli setup (paid about $400) but my 2080ti upgrade made me $200 and my 3080 upgrade made me $350 so even still overall its not been since like 2015 really since I spent anything on a gpu.

If you played your cards right and at the right time it's been pretty good few years for upgrading your high end stuff.
