They are saying that some gpu exclusion from tariff has expired and that prices across the board are going to be going up.  If that's true that's going to really be unfortunate for a situation that has already left many people quite frustrated.

Prices have already gone up for other brands

So that 3080ti not going be 1200 no more.

I may have gotten a 3090 FTW3 Ultra on the NewEgg drop just now. I'm staying on the queues until that thing is in my PC and surviving a stress test. Should I get a new PSU? I have a SuperNova 750P2.

My watch has just ended. I was able to snag a FTW Ultra Gaming 3080 on Newegg today. Looks like it's time for me to remove all my Notifications and stuff.
 
Peace out, dudes! 
 
P.S. Screw all them bots and scalpers, man.

I personally would not risk a 3090 of any kind on a 750W PSU of any kind.  But that's my personal preference.  Depending on your specs, it's borderline.  I would look in to getting an 850-1000W PSU that's at least Platinum, that way your efficiency is high even when you're not drawing 750+W.  Most platinum PSUs will have ~85+% efficiency throughout the curve.  You can always run it with the 750W & undervolt slightly, most 3090s seem to be able to hit 2040MHz @ 1000mV with no issues, gives you an overclock with an undervolt, resulting in better performance but at a lower power draw (as a for instance I've been playing Cyberpunk for over an hour with those settings & maximum draw from the GPU showing in HWInfo was 410W).

how did i even miss that! but good for you 
this current situation on cards is absolute BS

I'd recommend staying on the queue until you have the card in your hands and you know it works.

The problem people forget a lot of the time is everything in the system also draws power, and depending how fast you run your fans, that adds up quick too... I would love to see what just my non-GPU/CPU draw is on my system personally.  2 SSDs, 2 HDDs, 2 M.2s, 4 sticks of RAM, 17 fans (all with LEDs on them, most of which are on), CPU AIO pump... I think even a conservative estimate would put that well over the 150W range total.  The closest way I could check is running just the system at idle with only my system plugged in to my battery backup & seeing how much it's drawing from the wall... I'd be surprised if it's less than at least 100W.
Granted, most people only have like 4-6 fans, but still, it adds up.  Always better to be safe than sorry.
I also look at it this way: You're spending how much on a CPU?  How much on a GPU?  And you don't want to spend a bit more to ensure you have ample power & voltage for those parts because... why?  The PSU is literally the heart of your system, don't skimp on it.  The power spikes that happen on draws from the 3080/3090 are no joke, lest we forget, OCP has been tripped with these cards on 750W PSUs on the regular, and if your PSU is suspect, it may not survive such an event, and it may or may not take several components with it.

Good news. Seasonic approved my RMA, paid the deposit and they are going to ship the replacement PSU soon.
I assume they will ship using the cheapest service, so thats probably gonna be 1 week or more of waiting XD
In the meanwhile. Running the 3080 ULTRA at around 55% power rate.

so it was a foul PSU after all :D I think 750Watt should be enough, a card taking let's say 450Watt and your CPU takes 125Watt, there is room left, right?

Yes, My PSU was on the affected older Titanium PRIME series that could not handle anything above 2080ti or 3000 series.


It ran with my 2070s fine, but it simply trips when detecting the spikes of the 3080.

Yeah but in the 3000 series.. the issue is how fast they spike.
I never seen it go above 580Watts from the wall. So the spikes must be incredibly quick and fast to trip the PSUs.
