Yeah, unless they were gamers and into computers I would not ask such a favor as well.  Another reason bitcoin payment would be awesome, no restriction or require banks but thats at least a few years from catching on

Strangely enough not one of my mates or family members is in to computers. Not sure how we are related or are friends :P

Hello, when e-mail comes...Can I pay for the card (I'm from EU) and write down address of my friend from us? He will resend the card to EU after he gets it.
thx

I think their billing provider has a problem with payments coming from overseas credit cards / paypal as the address won't match up. If so, I'd suggest as a possible solution that you send money to your friend in the US (if you can trust them enough) and then have them log on to your EVGA account and pay for the GPU with their US credit card, so the delivery address matches. You'd need to amend your EVGA account to their address too. I can't guarantee any of this, but from what I've seen in the forums, this may be a workaround.

You'd think with the massive demand, they'd be in full production 7 days a week :/

Sp according to TechPowerUp, the 3080Ti is due as early as January at $999. Like everyone knew/suspected, basically a 3090 with 20gb memory.
How in the world is Nvidia planning to split chips up even more? And with the highest end chip with the lowest yield rate at that. What???

I don't see how or why NVidia would do a refresh that quickly

Same bus?? So it's a 3080 with double the vram. That's great, but not sure if my 1440p UW monitor will use more than the 10G the 3080 has in the 2-3 years time I'd have it (hopefully?)

I doubt it will be more than 8-10% more performance over a 3080. But people who want/need more than 10gb memory will now have a reasonable go-to in the Nvidia stack besides the ridiculous $1,500+ 3090 which offers terriblel gains price:performance wise.
Plus, the non enthusiast market just looks at numbers (yes, really). They see one has 10. One has 20. Dunno what the the hell this gddr6x stuff is, but this card has more of it, so let me get that one to play at 1080 with lol.

Haha so true. As long as I don't need it, I won't be a fool for the numbers hype marketing. You're probably spot on about the 8-10% improvements considering the 3090, But I am curious, do you think 10GB will be enough until next-gen on 3440x1440p? I am well aware of the difference between allocated and used, but I wonder what/if games will actually use 10GB in the next 2-3 years
