They’ll start taking orders at 6:00 am Pacific... and close at 6:00.01.
EDIT: the guy above is being way too optimistic.

No need to exaggerate. They'll take orders at 6:00am PT, and close at 6:00am PT. No way it makes it to 6:00:01.

All the Youtubers, even the smaller ones, and non tech related ones, seem to have 2-3 3080s, even FEs. Were they not affected by bots?

I've seen some people saying to choose the Tuf Gaming 3080 from Asus over the FE. Is it better?

Much better cooling and low noise.

Yes. It's about quieter and a bit faster. But it's not like you have the choice atm lol

Haha agreed. I'm just going to use some alerts so, going to add the TUF to the list.

Ugh, now that I finally have a 3080 possibly confirmed, my desire for more upgrades is growing. Already have a 4k IPS, but now I'm eyeballing OLED and ultrawide monitors, cpu/mobos, etc. This happens every time. >_O

Hold your horses! I almost bought a new PSU cause I want to upgrade my CPU (7700k) in the future and had the fear that stock would be even worse. But I decided I'll upgrade when I need it. No use having a bigger PSU if the hardware is t there. That oled on the other hand is nice

Haha, thanks. I think I've managed to reign myself in for the time being. Most of my stuff is a few years out of date, but still serviceable for the near future. Although, if I find the 3080 is being bottlenecked, that'll change quickly and it'll all be downhill from there. Lol

But i think (if you upgrade every 2 to 3 years) the nextr AMD and Intel generation is worth waiting for. It will be the last DDR4 Generation with PCIe 4.0. DDR5 will be shit at release so its better to wait one or two generations and DDR4 is cheap. So a good 8core/16 Thread CPU with 32GB 3200/3600Mhz should be very fine till DDR5 matured.

I'm starting to wonder if the GeForce watchdogs legion campaign will have to be scrapped or moved to another big hitter in the spring. If people can't buy the cards, how can they redeem the code and get the game?

Perhaps Nvidia doesn't actually want people to redeem the game, because they have to pay Ubisoft for every copy that's redeemed with a code that comes with one of their cards. Agreeing to include a free redemption code with each of their cards is probably a decision that Nvidia regrets.

The Amazon.de zotac dream has died, they just cancelled my order.

I'm guessing the reason for the delay on 3080 20 is memory supply issues. Better to sell a cheaper model first then put out a more expensive one when memory supplies are better.

Also have my doubts that going 4K -> 8K is as noticeable as going from DVD to Blu-Ray like he seems to be making it out to be.

The jump to 8K isn't really THAT noticeable, but the thing is if you get a 75" or above 4K TV and you sit close to it (relative to its size) then you can definitely tell that 4K isn't enough anymore and the precise & detailed image you might be used to at 4K 55" just won't be like that anymore. I still want 8K for some cases just for pure IQ, like a perfect game to test 8K with would've been The Witcher 3 - there the resolution increase makes a huge difference as the AA is very weak. For games that rely so much more on post-processing, like Control, it's ehhh, I'm in no rush to go 8K for that. I'd also be curious to see if 8K could overpower RDR2's naturally blurry image with TAA. 4K almost does it. Watch Dogs 2 at 4K & above also looks crisp AF and SF is fantastic to explore in it.

I think once 8k really becomes viable, I'll just remodel my office and get a projector. Lol

I have stated to friends that if I go above 65" then I will aim for 8k but I'm yet to be convinced that 65" or lower needs it at the distance I sit at around 80"/203cm away.
Time will tell though as just like 4k is the majority of TVs now then 8k will be in a few years at the sizes I want.

Sadly projectors are in a sorry state. HDMI 2.1 is kinda far away. HDR is just getting started and the price is absurd

Well, that's sad to hear. Maybe in a few years they'll be more competitive. =/

Was hoping Distill would be more promising, but it randomly goes off for no reason. Zoolert, Now in Stock, and the webpage notification have all proven to useless.

The alert should show you what's changed. Is it not displaying anything? Maybe be more specific in what you want it to check, if you aren't already that granular?

The 3080 really is sold out everywhere. One of my friends even bought computers from cyberpower just to get his but they are even almost sold out themselves.

Yeah, and the way he jokingly refers to the sponsorship really got on my nerves. I like Linus and all, but this was ridiculous. And he makes joke excuses for the frame drops in Doom, and even insinuates that Doom is more of a sight-seeing game, but for more action-packed games he would sacrifice resolution for refresh rate
Sure thing, Linus.

I'm mainly interested in Amazon stock, and so I chose to be alerted if the "Currently Unavailable" text changes. It seems to work for most items, but the alert for 1 of my items keeps randomly going off every 30 seconds (the alert interval I set).
I say it seems to work, as I can't really verify when stuff has actually gone in and out of stock. Only time I verify the alert works so far is when some idiot third-party seller lists a card. And even then I don't know if there's a delay, since I can't see actual time listed vs time alerted.

That sucks. With that said, it's how I managed to buy one off of Amazon the other day. After a few false alarms, it finally did me right.

I'll have to fiddle around with it a little bit more. Stupid question, but chrome needs to stay open in the background right?

Via Videocardz: Galax's internal roadmap confims 3080 20GB, 3070ti, 3060 cards.
This is cutting it very close to the release of Cyberpunk with all the cards, including Big Navi. This is the reason I've been hanging onto my 2060S just in case.

I'm pretty sure it does.
So when it's all said and done, there's going to be at least eight 30xx cards? Seems a bit excessive.

Not really any different than the 20xx series and their main releases, super variants, and even the crazy amount of different 2060's.
