I think it would still need to be sent back by the original owner...

NVIDIA may, at its discretion, use new or refurbished parts or units to meet the conditions of the warranty.
You are forgetting AMD. Nvidia didnt have much choice. They needed to launch first but equally they need to hold something back in case the Big Navi 16Gb delivers.
So they will sell 3080s by the bucket loads, faster than they can make them and then post Navi launch they can keep selling 3080 20Gb to those who want/need the extra memory.

While the official release of these cards is the 17th of September, we're not expecting stock until early October and availability will be low. The best thing you can do is to click the 'Notify Me' option on the website and await the stock to go live.
one retailer just told me this ...

Don't shoot me as I'm really not that up on this stuff, but wouldn't a 20GB 3080 need the big cooler that the 3090 has as the memory modules would be on the back (supposedly the 2GB memory modules are not ready until next year?) - wouldn't this larger cooler add to the price over the top of the extra memory?
I think that depends on the card - some of them are definitely in stock. EVGA FTW3 variants are definitely delayed, not sure about others though.
We have a winner! Add to basket right away to avoid disappointment.

Yes and Yes. Which is why it would be a £800+ card. They are only doing it cause they know there will be one game/scenario where the 16Gb on the Big Navi counts in comparison to the 10Gb 3080 and they would want to take the crown back.
Should that bother 3080 10gb buyers? No.

Yes, you're looking at a £900 card easy, really not worth it for the extra ram when most people won't even need it or notice the difference.
Cool, thanks for the reply. I wonder if it would run cooler though as it has the bigger cooler and offer a better clock over the 10GB 3080? A possible extra difference along with the VRAM to justify a healthy price increase?
Going on the last two launches, the one thing Ocuk does well is that they manage to get more stock in than anybody else including Amazon.
So I can easily see some other big retailers might have only the odd 10 of each card today and stocks are going to be slow. That doesnt mean that Gibbo doesnt have 100s of some cards.
I know with either the 1000 or 2000 series launch I preorder from Amazon a MSI Gaming x card and it was 3 months before I got delivery. Ocuk has stock on opening day.

Seeing as 1 etailer had them available to buy at midnight with guaranteed delivery tomorrow I highly doubt this is accurate

lol that price and the added bonus of "this item is usually dispatched within 1 or 2 months"

Wonder if I walk to PCEARTH if I'll be able to walk away with a GPU?

When has NVIDIA ever cared about screwing their customers over lol.
It's all about staying ahead of AMD and shifting cards.
BUSINESS!!!
What I'm trying to understand is, Nvidia used underhanded tactics to VRAM limit the 2080 in Doom Eternal and Assassins Creed by yanking up the texture settings, causing the performance to drop significantly in benches compared to 3080. This happened as the 2080 has 8GB memory only, but 10GB is just about enough:
These two current gen games show that 8GB is a limitation in certain games already with the right settings. But they are trying to tell us just 2GB is fine and dandy, despite being on the verge of next gen when games will get more demanding going forward.
I'm warning you guys, 10GB is gimped for a $700 card, this time next year some titles will see big performance penalties as a result if you like 4K.

rainforest sellings some this morning at 10:30 for £649 according to guys on avforums
The ones who bought in the first few minutes have had their order processed and have had shipping confirmation with delivery tomorrow
The ones a few minutes later are now awaiting stock over the next few weeks but at least they should be top fo the queue.
Looks like they only had around 10 of each.
That price
They had the whole EVGA lineup with placeholder price at £2500 and then the ftw3 ultra changed to £769.99 briefly and i placed an order and have confirmation.
They also had the Asus tuf non oc for 649 that i ordered before and then cancelled as well. They seem to have removed most of the prices on everything now though.
Don't really expect it to turn up though, but was worth a shot.
