Scalper prices are getting ridiculous. Now Walmart is selling through third parties at exorbitant prices!@!

Walmart isn't selling through third parties LOL.

Those are sellers trying to sell through Walmarts website.

It seems like 3080 production is generally slowing to a crawl for all manufacturers.  NowInStock shows just how sparse 3080 restockings have been all month, while it seems like I get an alert for 3090s or 3070s every few hours.  Really makes me wonder WTH is going on with 3080 production.

I bet production yields of the 3080s is pretty bad which then go into making the 3070s. I'd also imagine the profit margin is probably a lot tighter on the higher end SKUs so it probably makes sense to manufacture more 3070s.

Wasn't their rumors that Nvidia was switching from Samsung 8nm to TSMC 7nm in the new year?

Maybe they started early and we going to get the revision model...

Im just speculating but, i think personally production is slowing due to the holidays.

My understanding is that the profit margin is higher on the higher end SKUs. Also the 3070s are a different chip than the 3080s so the production of one shouldn't have an impact on the other.

has anyone asked Jake if they have discontinued the 3080 FTW Ultra in lieu of the 3080 Ti FTW Ultra?

I wanted to throw this out here for the 3070 que

I don't know where some of you guys getting the information that it will "drop-in December" or "I saw the list and I'm next in queue" 
I mean there's no updated information, no email notification, people just hoping and wishing for the 3080/3070 assuming it's around the corner...
 
I'm seeing no light at the end of the tunnel and I feel we're stuck in the twilight zone... I see people selling 5-6 Boxes of 3080's on eBay with 20 to 35 already Sold?! How is that even possible for a person to have so many GPUs?! Making a 400-600 profit per GPU - These people have to be from the inside, Microcenter, BestBuy, Newegg, Evga, Walmart, Amazon, etc. 
 
I'm about to go into 3 Months on the queue and nothing.... It's getting to the point that I will have to go on eBay to get this FN GPU!

Don't give in to EBayers mate.

Seconded!
If I could make it he can too.

Thank you to those who created and maintain the notify list (I think that's enewt and Nereus). Much appreciation for your efforts! Fingers crossed the queues pick up some steam this week.

We cannot take credit for the creation of the spreadsheets, but we've certainly tried to help out with spreadsheet entry and summarizing the status of the queue. 
 
Let's hope the queues start hopping!!!

Where is the official spreadsheet? 🤔

There is no official spreadsheet.  There are a few unofficial ones.  The original -- and I continue to believe the best -- is the one at the bottom of my signature block (below).  Again, these are imperfect tools and have been badly compromised by past hacks and/or the lock downs restricting the ability for folks to easily edit, correct or submit their information.

When are we going to be able to buy an evga 3090 card from evga I've signed up to all the notifications not had anything yet, now they show off the hydro copper ftw3 3090 any info on these coming to Europe this side of Christmas?

I would say 0%.  And that's being optimistic.

According to sources, the base SKU 3080s are almost no profit at all for the makers, NVidia trying to force AIBs to make "MSRP" cards results in them making almost no money off of said SKUs.  These GPUs are not cheap to make, especially considering the AIBs are having to make their own PCBs because NVidia's own "Founders Edition" is NOT a reference PCB, it's custom.
 
So the profit margins on base model 3080s are utter garbage.  The 3090 I'm sure is a higher profit margin even with all those RAM chiplets etc added on.  Keep in mind, most AIB 3090s are the same PCB as the 3080 just with stuff added on that's "missing" from the 3080 model, which is why most 3080 PCBs have multiple "empty" vRAM spots etc.
 
It might even be possible that the 3070 has a better profit margin than the 3080, since the PCB is much more basic etc.

I don’t see a signature? All I see is your text post. 🤷‍♀️

I would get me an associates code but I feel like no one would use it lol

Gamers Nexus was saying that the profit on the base 3070s was essentially nil.

That wouldn't surprise me either.  It really seems like NVidia was trying to squeeze the AIBs here by manufacturing their own custom PCB etc in house to cut costs down & setting an MSRP that no one else can really match if they want to make money.  Especially given that the Founders Edition cards aren't utter garbage this time around, especially the 3090 performs very well thermally.  And it looks sick.  If I were getting any other model besides eVGA my second choice would be Founders, on both the 3090 & 3080... 3070 looks a bit odd cuz it's so smol.

No RMA as 80&90, so there must be a profit margin. No one make products with no earning. Don't trust Steve's every word. 

It sounds like at least a few cards dropped in the 3090 FTW3 Ultra line.  Latest date/time stamp is 7:19:59 pm on 10/6.  If you are before that -- or near that -- please check your in-box.  Good luck!!!
