Good luck with getting your TUF soon, yeah i'm looking forward to new card... my GTX 1070 has been really creaky on FS2020 in 4K. like 25FPS at medium (groans)... luckily No.4 at the mo for a Ventus, bring it on!Oh absolutely, it's to be expected and has been going on a long time, especially in other markets like the trainer market. The scarcity and demand for these cards is obviously a dream come true for any scalper that got their hands on one. It's just really frustrating for the likes of us but what can you do? I hope something can be done to a least hinder bots in the future, otherwise before you know it everyone will be using them, consumers and scalpers alike and websites just can't cope, they'd probably struggle anyway but bots just screw them up entirely. In all honesty with hindsight I'd have probably used a bot just to save sitting refreshing sites for nearly 3 hours.
I didn't have anything like this trouble at the 1080 launch, they were fairly scarce but nothing like this.
I can't complain too much though, I'm 121 in the que for the TUF, so I'm hoping for late October early November. I've just bought a monitor as well, I've been gaming for the past 10 years or so on a TV, so you can imagine how crappy my last monitor was. So I can't wait to get some 2k 144hz gaming underway for FPS's and the like
4K HDR is nice but I keep hearing 144hz is the way to go, over 60hz 4k for pretty much anything competitive...
If AMD have their Big navi series available to actually bu on November 5th and perf is in the ballpark they showed at the event yesterday, and price is right its very tempting as is the 5800X Ryzen.
I fancy WQHD 3440 x 1440 144Hz would be nice, Overclockers stocks the monitor I fancy, and if they get the AMD 5000 Ryzens in on time probably go for that monitor and a Ryzen, then look at GPUOh absolutely, it's to be expected and has been going on a long time, especially in other markets like the trainer market.

Took forever to get my response but wait times are approx. 4 months on all 3080 models, hopefully the volume of stock in circulation increases within that time, but if not it's trying my luck for 3080 20GB model (but I don't think I need it) or just waiting before I start my next build.
This is my problem, I'd rather wait for the reviews etc. and make the most informed choice I can than just pre-order one and then know there's one that suits my requirements better for a simialr price that I could have got instead.
.. perhaps Monday... Being extremely optimistic.. game releases closer and closer. Each week 1 fewer video rendered :/
