Sure, I can get any card - any time, but don't want to feed low life scalpers.
TBH it was troubling to spent so many weeks checking online retailers or/and visiting Best Buy and Micro Center trying to get 3080 after launch day.
It was not on my "must do" list, so I stop to look for it.
Interesting find 5 minute ago, 3090 Ti FE for 11 hundred, but 450W power usage holds me from buying.
4080 16 GB TDP (340W) is much better.
