Christ im still on an old 1080ti and its more than capable of running modern games well... I have to ask, does anyone really *NEED* a 3080/90?

Why has this thread and the many many others not been locked yet?
Can they all be bundled into one?
There should be more of them about as they use the smaller GA104 chip, unfortunately this will be cancelled out by an even higher demand than has been seen for the GA102 cards.
You may not see the above reflected on this forum but in the real world demand for the 3070 will be very high.

why would there?
production lines are the issue as much as the chips.

Don't think production lines are the problem, companies like Asus and EVGA are quite capable of producing non reference cards, all they need from NVidia are the GA102 and GA104 chips.
you could ??![]()
Plenty of places with the production capabilities and capacity to rent if you have the money in terms of creating PCBs and placing components, etc. and even things like enclosure assembly - brackets, cooling, etc. - the bottlenecks are elsewhere.
Posting and talking on a forum...
