I'm just starting to realise how lucky I was to pick up a 3080 back in September. The way these things sell out in seconds is just mental.
That's because no one wants the bloody things
even 3090 was quick last drop, sold out a minute or 2 after the 3070 did.
It wouldn't surprise me if prices for the 6900xt reach the same price level as the 3090...
You did a good thing, just get what you need if you can afford it. The waiting game will just drive you insane, not worth the mental health for some
Agreed, OK the 3090 FE isn't cheap but at least I'm not getting gouged above MSRP, that and the lack of stock was really sticking in my craw, who know I might get buyers remorse and cancel!
The 6900XT is gonna end up being £1300+, gouge city and no stock!
I managed to nab a 3070 FE in today's drop, but i'm still on the fence as to if I really can justify it over a 3060 Ti given I've got quite an old system anyway. Might see if anyone local who really wanted a 3070 got a 3060 Ti FE to have something rather than nothing, and might want to swap

You say that, but how many people will have bought one simply because its available? It took me longer than i'd care to admit before I decided I was being stupid if I ordered one. Complete overkill for my current setup.That's because no one wants the bloody things

Surprised there was no 3080 FE in todays drop, as there was some listed on a german website.
Must be quite a few 3090 FE this time, or less people are buying them, though there is more stock of the 3090 around generally.

I doubt you will, as soon as you install it and see it in all its glory you'll just be smiling with joy, just forget how much it cost you lol.
It will be for sure, especially if the reviews show it faster or on par with the 3090. I'm 100% certain it will be gouged to oblivion, waiting on those £2k ebay prices.
Wouldn't surprise me if more chips are being used in the 3090 card rather than the 3080. Much higher margins and profits, they know people will buy regardless of the price.
Yeh I hear you, I just cant justify over double the price for maybe 10% improvement.
Nope, no 3080 FE drop today.Was the 3080 up? Stuck in bloody meeting again. Finding it hard to not press go on a 3090
get one and you'll be headache free.
More likely the yields on 3080 are so bad they are being binned down to 3070s.

I just got fed up of waiting for 6800XT & 6900 XT, the stock bunfight and the "gougey gougey"... I'm not somebody who flicks on cards every gen, this will probably see me for 3 years like my VEGA64.
Would be interesting to see what the failure rates are with the 3080FE too.
There does seem to be plenty of 3070's about, theres been some in every drop so far.

3070 is different chip, GA104. 3080 uses GA102 in 3090.
More like yield is decent enough that while people willing to part with money, put the better cores in the 3090. Once stock of cards becomes available or sales of 3090's slow, then put those same 3090 cores into a 3080Ti, shave few GB of VRAM off and sell if for $999.
If your getting decent yields, if you were Nvidia, makes no sense to put the cores in a cheaper 3080 to satisfy demand when demand is plentiful enough at 3090 levels and make a premium there.
