could not help my self no patience waiting on 3080s, 2080 ti xc gaming bstock dropped from 999 to 699 so i pulled the trigger and bought one hopefully it works great and i have a one year warranty ill run it till it drops and then look to upgrade from what i hear it will be awsome upgrade from 2060 ko ultra and ill keep 2060 just in case i need to do an rma while under warranty and with assc discount and overnight ups total was 746 us$ so hopefully ill be posting tomorrow its installed and working  lol.

wow evga dont mess around with that next day ordered at 6am eastern and its approved waiting for ups pick up im excited i hope its here earlier then later.

maybe but i dont have the time to waste on nvidias irresponsible  horrific launch and its all how you look at it, i have offers now of 200 for my 2060 ko ultra and if 2080ti works and serves my purpose i can sell both to cover cost of atleast the 3070 if they ever make it to market. so why not enjoy the 2080ti now. and maybe i have different options like my 2 nephews are gaming and looking at building their first rigs and ill have two cards to help them out if i want and then get my 3070 80 or 90 unless i go big navi. or i can keep them both build me a second rig and put one in that. and my nephews are young low paying jobs and wont be able to afford a high end card id be helping them out so to say it was a terrible decision i think was a little over the top. thank you

well the 1 year warranty does suck but its somthing so atleast for a year i can get fixed or replaced if needed it may work great for years lets hope for the best i do have faith in evga products.

As long as you're OK with making a rash and poor decision that's OK. It's your money, spend it how you want. Trying to justify it is another matter entirely, you don't have to justify spending your money how you want but you made an objectively bad choice. If that's OK with you then so be it and enjoy your new card.
