Crypto isn't easy to do now atleast now with every batch of stock being LHR variants the main reason for lack of cards now is both demand and the current chip/silicon shortage.A mate ordered a whole pre-build from [not ocuk], he had to return it 3 times due to crashing issues and once for it being delivered with a totally bent cooler probably from being dropped during shipping. But he is now the owner of a 3080! All it took was 8 months..
I think Gibbo said sales had been nuts, as in the shear demand just out striped supply by a factor of 10. According to miners, it isn't miners
If nVidia doubled production would that be enough cards? Triple? imo it's miners as stock alerts are still thin on the ground. Crypto prices still remain high enough to profit from.

Ya most likely last of the stock, it would take some time for all of the old chips to be rolled out and sold, unless NVIDIA is doing some sneaky ****

Finally got my chunky Zotac 3080 Ti installed this afternoon. Fresh install of Windows 10, drivers on, Superposition benchmark installed - immediate hard power off upon launching benchmark 
I did wonder if my 10 year old Corsair AX850 would still be able to cope, never had a problem with it before... I have ordered a replacement (HX850 Platinum) which will be here tomorrow thankfully. I do hope a new PSU cures it.
Still more waiting for me then!

Yeah very good - it hasn't had a single issue since day one (until today). I guess it has degraded to some respect and I hear that the 3000 range can stress an older PSU with short, intermittent 'transient' very high current draw. So i'm just hoping it's that.
I doubt it's the GPU itself as it's not crashing to desktop or locking up, the PC is just switching off as the GPU ramps up to full load. If I dial the settings back, it will run the benchmark, but then power off at a random point whilst it's running.
More expense on a new PSU - i'm in too deep now though!

Drop the Power Limit to 75/80% @WalderX and give it a try. Might get you going.

Good idea, thanks. Replacement PSU will be here tomorrow anyway, but it will be an interesting test to carry out regardless.

That's unlucky. I was probably extremely close to that happening but I got away with a screaming soon to be (October 2012) 9 year old PSU for 2-3 nights before landing the PSU I was chasing (this was in November when all parts were scarce).
Funnily enough, the old PSU was also a Corsair (750w HX+). Replaced with a BQ Straight Power 11 750w Plat.
Hope you can get up and running tomorrow. Have a blast with your new card.
