I think this card is primarily built from 3080ti cores that didn't quite cut it. Should that be true, then it's good news, since that means more cores making it to the market that would otherwise be trashed.

Nvidia were prudent (sneaky) not to release an FE. They wanted to avoid any blame for the high price, so they passed the buck onto the AIBs.

Cost double what my 6800xt did, less Vram and not even really any faster.
What the fuck is Nvidia on.

Quote: NVIDIA can only manufacture a limited amount of GPUs, and they will still need to decide how much allocation goes to gaming and how much goes to other markets. We hope NVIDIA makes prudent judgments, as if the trend continues, the PC gaming sector will die off.
Agreed. My systems have always and will always be cost effective performance builds.
As things currently stand its a case of a fool and his money soon part. I don't see the 360ti coming down to £300 any time soon. That is such a nice card for performance and power consumption@ RRP.
Have to hope that when the 40 series comes out things will get back to normal and I will open my wallet to PC hardware again.

How is this card mining wise?

This is just NVidia resetting MSRP for 3080. Pure cashgrab.

People justified the RTX2000 series pricing to the extend we got the ridiculous RTX3000 series pricing.
They will do so with the RTX4000 series when the 4080 will be at $2000 minimum.
FYI if the Nvidia followed keeping the pricing/perf ratio the same (as did with GTX1000/2000/3000 series) since the release of the 8800GTX, the RTX3080 would be costing over $35000 now.
(the perf gap is around 4000% plus inflation which is around 35% over the period of the last 16 years)
Yet BOM to make the card is barely couple hundred dollars.

This card is currently on sale in the UK for £1449. That's 1736 euros or $1982. More than double MSRP of the 3080 10GB FE and £400 more expensive than a 3080Ti FE. Absolutely disgusting behaviour from the AIB's - charging people more and giving them less value.
