Probably a lot of reviewers tested new cards the wrong way with wrong drivers and at incorrect star alignment and couldn't find the promised 2x uplift in performance so Nvidia decided to wait for Mars and Venus to get into the right position.

Maybe reviewers got their card late (covid) or it's Nvidia who want the reviews to go up last minute to help early sale because of the performance maybe not matching nvidia own slide....Who knows...

But by looking at the leaked result for 3080 from videocardz, I would say 2080ti owner who sold their card for 1k USD or up did well, the ones who sold their for 500 USD probably not......

The date was pushed back to give reviewers more time to finish up, some still hadn't received cards yet.

If they price them right, I might be interested. If they continue with pricing like we saw with the 2000 series, then this release is far less intriguing.
