Lack of stock right now due to demand

lack of stock , obviously.

Because my 2080ti is still a beast.

Unless the DLss2.0 And the new Raytracing is important to you, Its not worth it IMO. I am in the Skip a Gen crowd still Personally. But I have 750ti atm So i am going for a 3090 FTW3/Ultra (either one IDC).

All great responses. I think coming from 1080 Ti's-SLI it could be a better upgrade option for myself. I just upgraded to a Samsung Odyssey G9 49" Gaming Monitor. I know I can't unlock the full protentional of the monitor without upgrading to a 20 or 30 series card. I can honestly say I love this monitor. I have gamed at 5120x1400 with 1080 Ti SLI at 120Hz. It is free of any QC defects that ruined the early launch of the product. Does anyone else have this monitor? I'm also stuck with 8-bit color depth. Until I can get a 20 or 30 series which supports full10-bit Output color depth.
 

Nice monitor! Here's my best 1080 Ti SLI (Kraken G10 brackets with a Kraken X41/X61 AiO for watercooling) vs my best air cooled 3090 FTW3 Ultra Time Spy score: https://www.3dmark.com/compare/spy/14215251/spy/11470743#
 
For me, it was availability until I managed to snag one - and I only got the 3090 because I couldn't get a 3080 due to the lack of available cards at MSRP. Just say no to scalpers.
 
Really nice having that much power in a single card without the need for SLI (press F to pay respects).

The 3080 is an amazing card but a lot of people will still be happy to game on a 2080ti without feeling the need to spend $699 or more. I can go a generation with the flagship card without feeling like I need to upgrade.
