Just been sent this too. So true
I'm still calling it a paper launch and they were never going to sell them (if they do the 3090 will go EOL and again to raise the msrp of 90 class) and only in the hands of reviewers just to raise the MSRP so when the next gen 40 series comes out, it will look like normal current pricing. The 12GB 3080 is basically warming up all future 4080 owners that the 4080 will start at $999 fake msrp and sell for much more on the street. They finally have done what they wanted to do to sell a future mid range chip 104 class at $999, yes I know 3080 is on 102, that's because AMD made them move the cards up a tier, 40 series will be back to how it was 104 80 class cards and 80Ti & Titan on the 102 chips, so $1200-$1500+ msrp for a Ti version & $2500-$3000 Titan versions.
Also 4090 I doubt will happen and will be back to Titan cards on them models. Again we have to thank AMD for the 3090 this time.
Next time when the 4080 is introduced Jensen will say look $1000 start msrp for a card 1% faster than a 3090Ti at msrp of $1999. look wow half the price and with of course half the VRAM but he will gloss over that like he did with the 3070 compared to the 2080ti...
Nvidia maybe forced to use the 102 for the 4080 if AMD are strong again which is looking likely but no doubt they will make it more profitable this time with a higher price tag.
Most people I've seen go for the 3090s have bought an FE model so I have no clue who the people are which are buying the 2.5k AIB versions.
