A 6800xt is totally competitive with a 3080.
Given the choice between the two I'd go for the 3080 I think.

You'd always be adding 100 to 150 for AIB anyway above AMD's unrealistic MSRP, so OCUK prices aren't THAT much higher considering.
And retailers aren't scalping - they are charging what they have to as the wholesale cost is high.
More and more MSI 3080 Ti’s (and 3080’s) in stock from UK retailers… good luck scalpers, retail prices are high so I doubt they will be buying them up any time soon.
Stock levels are holding, so I can actually do some window shopping
You say that but those 3090s in stock on OCUK were £2600-3000 6 weeks ago and are now £2000-£2300 so I guess they are taking a hit on those.You'd always be adding 100 to 150 for AIB anyway above AMD's unrealistic MSRP, so OCUK prices aren't THAT much higher considering.

Just checked a UK retailer and they have MSI, EVGA and Gigabyte 3080’s in stock. Not the full range but its been a long time.Once this is fixed , we need some new AAA PC games for 2021
EVGA is asking customers if they want to change to the non mining gpu as well so thats a good sign.

By saying they have no intent to every make anymore mining gpu versions so if you dont swap then you will never get your card.
Wouldnt shipping affect all goods not just gpus? And i dont see massive inflation across all goods. Tbh theres a lot of money being made somewhere and they wont give it up easily. The only way prices will drop is if more money can be made at selling high volume at low price vs low volumes high price (current situation). Once the rich boys and gals have all paid up and no more cards are being sold ar inflated prices then the manufacturers will be forced into lowering prices to open the market back up. The lhr cards are just there to make you think they care about gamers and to protect that market share if mining bottoms out. Eggs and baskets and all that.yeah checked a local one stock is appearing but its about double the price what it should be. It will be the supply chain too driving the price up as shipping is still through the roof for example.
