The launch was pretty shady. NVidia's "notify me" ---> 5 ms later ---> "out of stock"
All the UK e-retailers playing 'rising tide' games with prices.
Scalpers on eBay with dudes (rightfully) bidding £50,000 just to mess up their auction.
It was a real popcorn moment. But I also appreciate that the launch was a big let down and disappointment to many enthusiasts than honestly wanted a card for themselves to enjoy. Not a cool way for either the manufacturers or retailers to treat their customers.
To everyone that got a 3080 at a fair price, congrats and I hope you enjoy that 4K goodness. I am interested to see performance beyond all those usual suspects AAA games.
But I am really super chill just watching the piranhas feast at the moment.
I didn't panic sell my 2080 Ti. It still works fine and does the job. It's got 11GB of GDDR6.
Yes... mine goes to 11.
LOLs. If you didn't snag one, take it easy, be patient and just watch... things are moving quite fast in this area of technology. Really we should be counting our blessings... we have come a long way from Vic-20s!
