I know for a fact NVIDIA will announce and put on sale the 3080 TI and then discontinued the 3080 on the same day causing all of us to cancel our order but wait so long to just get it back but the cards will already be gone.

What a beauty. It’s a shame all my other components are black. If I’d known I’d be getting this GPU in particular I would’ve done an all white build. (I originally ordered a Palit 3080) But a 3080 is a 3080 and this one is on of the better and definitely nicer looking cards. Also did anyone else who received their 3080 get it factory sealed? Because mine wasn’t and had a few scratches and dents on the box. Looks like someone from OC opened it up, the GPU was sealed though so whatever, I tested the card runs great! Thanks to @Gibbo and the nice staff at OC for all their hard work. P.S i only got a small bag of haribos, surely if I spent £1099.99 on a GPU I should be entitled to a big pack of haribos lol. Anyways, Good Luck to everyone still in the queue and I hope you guys get your cards soon!

Well with all the shady and annoying crap they have been at lately I wouldn't be surprised
I think last time there was a bank holiday there was a delay in the queue emails as the person doing the e-mails took some holiday.
Ah ya forgot it a bank holiday
Is this the coil whine some folks speak of?

I doubt the 3080 will be cancelled but if they are putting mining limiters on them they might replace them all with V2 models but whether or not people who ordered originals would get cancelled is anyone's guess.

How long after the official launch did AIB launch theirs? It wasn't at the same time was it?
And if it had been announced that the 3080 was EOL there would have been an uproar on the internet.
Ya true, I wouldnt be surprised if the use the "V2" version to hike the price up.
v2 with nerfed hash rate and nothing else, that will be 150% base price plz

All that, and the boss still won't invest in the neccessary IT? This market is as good as it gets. Fix the roof while the sun is shining OCUK!
And yet, question is, would they really care about some uproar? There's already huge uproar because of them being unavailable - would replacing fully 3080 with Ti change anything? It would change things for Nvidia - these are identical chips that they likely get huge majority of in production and they can charge much more for. 3080 might only get the small number of really failed chips, that didn't make 3090 nor 3080Ti. Enough to say they didn't discontinue them but you won't see any in stock anyway.
All in all, I'm sure Nvidia and AIB want to milk this market situation as much as they can for as long as they can, so it makes no sense for them to sell lots of "cheap" 3080 as they know people will buy all 3080Ti as is. When finally market normalise then they might put more 3080 back to the market - not anytime soon.
