How much did you pay altogether including the vat and duty? Also which 3080Ti did you get
Strix 3080Ti; overclockers have this weird habit of sometimes calling the Strix line 'ROG Strix' and sometimes just 'ROG Gaming' when the only ROG 3080Ti is the Strix.
As for total payment:
21 September 2020: paid €984.99 for a Rog Strix 3080 OC (€984.99)
1 January 2021: refunded €176.49 VAT (€808.50)
23 July 2021: begrudgingly paid €704.50 to upgrade to a Strix 3080Ti (€1,513)
28 July 2021: paid €371.47 to DHL, was expecting nearly €600 (€1884.47)
So uh...yeah. Nearly 2 grand in total.
If you'll excuse me I have to go make sure I never actually acknowledge that number ever again, but god damn I
did not want to downgrade to a 3070ti. Here's hoping that future launches aren't as painful.
