Hit the nail on the head. 3080 is more than doubling my current systems performance, I think people upgrading from 2080 ti are in the minority here

I'll join in too, happy to wait either way as I just want a card in general & can understand the demand volume.

Seems I got a quite early order compared to a lot of the listings I see of people considering the crashes & traffic haha.

Well at that point why buy any cards ever???
We haven't had any big cards since the supers 14 months ago, big navi comes out in like 5 or 6 weeks.
It would be nice if we had exact numbers on what a small amount of GaminfPro OCs mean in terms of quantity. Is it like 3 units or 300? Nonetheless, I appreciate the candid openness of the company.
It seems that in order to get a better idea of when you'll be receiving a GamingPro OC, you should be asking Palit instead what their expected numbers are, and if they are expecting any delays. But something tells me that they won't really bother responding to an email about topics this sensitive to some random consumer who they have no way of confirming.
Anyways, I think the important lesson for everyone here is to never underestimate scalpers and bots. If you want a very attractive product in the future, do it properly and right a bot script in order to secure your purchase.

Im just confused as to why hes saying why are people bothering? its a huge bump for me and compared to 2000 series its a much better deal. I see exactly why a lot are upgrading now. Personally this is the max I would pay for a gpu so waiting on the 20gb model doesn't make sense as it will no doubt cost more. We also don't know release of them. As for AMD all my friends had bad experiences and I only had a good experience on my old RX480 before grabbing 2060 S. So I kinda just thought grab what I know. Could bite me in the ass but hey who knows

Yep, exactly what I did. Stuck with the 1080Ti, and recently got a 1440p 32 inch monitor, so the 3080 is going to be a huge increase in performance for me.
I'm in exactly the same boat, stuck with the 1080ti, but as I've been mostly playing 3440x1440 recently I'm really craving that new GPU.
I don't get these kind of posts. "Why do you people want to get the 3080? Why not wait™ even longer?" Not everyone has a 2080 Ti. I certainly don't. I've bought a GPU back in 2015 and been using it since, thought about buying a new one last year but decided to wait for the 30xx series. After my experiences with AMD GPUs I don't even want to look at their cards anymore tbh and a 3080 S/Ti will be even more expensive than the current 3080. Besides why the hell is everyone so worried about VRAM now? I see people constantly crying how 8-10GB isn't enough for new games anymore.

Guys, I'm new on overclockers, I'm from Dubai
is that possible to pre-order 5 or 10 different cards at once? I'm running a small shop but my customers are hardcore gamer...no problem with brands.

Well, we don't know when they're going to come, and I'm not going to speculate on price. I do however dare to speculate that availability will be just as troublesome (if they release soonish) and that the extra VRAM just won't help.
Expect 20GB of GDDR6X to cost atleast £200-250 extra on top of the base price of the same model. Maybe add another £50 for the "Super" name tag. GDDR6X is expensive as **** atm because they don't do 2GB modules right now and won't until like mid next year, so they can't just double the capacity of the same number of ram modules seen in 3080 while keeping everything the exact same. So they actually have to increase the number of ram modules in there.
That actually also means the 20GB variant will most likely end up with a lower bandwidth than the 10GB variant.
So that £650 card is gonna be more like £900-950 at MSRP. Real price would be more like £1000 for lower end models...and that would put it firmly in between the 3080 and 3090 price wise.
According to rumors (from decent sources) Big Navi is a $550 card that has been price adjust to $500 after alAmpere reveal. If that's the case then you can infer that the card is slower than 3080, because if it's the same as 3080 or faster then they wouldn't choose to drop price by $50, seeing as $550 is already $100 less than 3080.
And lack of tensor cores means it can't do anything like DLSS, and no dedicated RT hardware means it'll always be considerably worse at RT, no matter what. And these two things are confirmed for RDNA2.

i mean this: i preorder 1 trio x 1 ventus 1 strix 1 zotac...
I guess that makes sense. I figured it would be at least a few hundred more expensive. I don't know if the 20gb would benefit anyone except for people playing at 4k high frame rates. I honestly think the 10gb would do me fine at 3440x1440.
Games usually store the next 30 seconds of game data needed in RAM. High memory bandwidth and SSD means we don't need to store that much as everything can be fetched within 2 seconds, so once we start seeing games using engines that are properly built/modified with next gen IO in mind we'll actually see a reduction in RAM usage like for like (which to some extent will somewhat get leveled out by increased detail next gen but still 10GB should be more than enough). Even a game like Flight SIM, which is a worst case scenario as it's a next gen game with current gen IO, only uses ~8GB VRAM at 4K/ultra in worst most RAM hungry scenario. And that's a worst case scenario in a worst case game.
When I say games built for next gen IO, I don't simply mean next gen exclusives. As you can have a game exclusive to next gen or be a next gen game (like Flight Sim) but still using current gen IO. By the time we actually need more than 20GB using current IP tech, games would've shifted to the more modern and faster IO.
For sure near the tail end of the gen 10GB may not be enough as we'll see PC ports that are order of magnitude above consoles, but who expects and GPU to to push 4K/ultra at high framerate 4-5 years after launch?
Looking at this chart makes me happy I bought the ASUS strix, it seems like 90% bought tuf so far at least. I'm just hoping I get a card before November or at least before Valhalla and cyberpunk.
Gibbo's said in a post somewhere that a small number is less than 50. I went for a regular Palit and so I think I'll get it earlier than most, as will you with your OC version, as it seems to be the most unpopular brand. Which is exactly the reason I chose it and cancelled my ASUS TUF order which I accidentally got in, even though I got the TUF order in 30 mins earlier - I just didn't know it at the time as the checkout crashed after I entered my card details.
