Been using mine since Monday so it's possible to get one the old fashioned way online.

NO WAY... just give it a few weeks. Hell, with all of the issues that have come out regarding these cards, let someone else beta test then buy your card in November/December. Bet most of these cards go on sale on Black Friday anyways; maybe only $50 or so, but that's still more money in my pocket.

There are plenty of stock on eBay! lol

I'd rather buy a 2080! lol

 
Pretty much given up. I just purchased my daughter a gaming laptop since there seems little chance of a 3080/3090 in the near future. Every now and then I check the EVGA product page, but it's becoming less and less often, just seems a complete waste of time trying. The 2080Ti I have is a very good card anyway. Currently have CPU and GPU on AiO cooling and I was considering a complete rebuild with a full custom water loop for this upgrade, I even purchased an Optimus Signature V2 CPU water block for it (thanks SpareTimePC), but will hold off for now. Maybe if a Ti/Super comes out early next year - but likely we'll have the exact same problem with under-supply and **** bots then, so whatever, maybe the 4080 series, but NVidia never seems to learn their lesson.
 
I will NEVER EVER buy from a scalper, that's for sure, and I curse anyone who does because it is just enabling them.
 
 

Yep given up.
It's nothing but a scalpers market.
 
That is ok, I may have pulled the trigger on a 3090 and really not sure it is worth that big premium over 3080.
And I know I am not getting a 3080 and going backward in Vram over my 2080 Ti. One of my flight sims I measured whilst flying earlier and it was using 9.5 GB of Vram, and I have some games little more complex than that one.
But not much into paying around 1K more to have a card with 24GB of Vram.
 
Maybe wait and see if something comes out in between.
I am almost kind of glad can't get one, otherwise I might have been tempted to snag a 3090 FTW3.
Hoping my 2080 Ti FTW3 Ultra handles Star Wars Squadrons in VR ok, hyped bout grabbing that one on the 2nd.

I haven't given up yet, but it is tough, not gonna lie.

Newegg has restocked 3 times today and I've missed all 3.  At least I got the auto notify messages today which is better than the last 2 restockings.

Interesting, I never got a notification.

It's frustrating for sure and I'd like to get a 3080 so I can finalize my new build but at the end of the day I still have a perfectly functional 1440p 165FPS gaming system so it's not as if the world has ended.
 
Want? Oh heck ya. Need? Not so much.
