doomed if you cant wait a couple of months, the 2080ti was easy to get after a couple of months, the 3000 series just seems worse because corona, people have 0 patience, amazes me that people are so desperate to upgrade from a 2080 or better, its like a new series comes out and everyone thinks the current card they have is ****, then when they have the new card they go back too playing games that run on a potato anyway lmao
Things aren't going to get better in a couple of months. Until Bitcoin peaks, demand from the mining market will be huge. Basically infinite for certain cards. In 2017/18 it took nine months from Bitcoin's peak to when supply recovered. And BTC is still rising right now.
The 2080 Ti launched in completely different circumstances; BTC peaked nine months before the card launched, crypto prices were low, and the 2080 Ti wasn't a great mining card (price/perf). The two months of shortages were caused primarily by gaming demand.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's next year before GPUs are readily available TBH. If BTC prices fell today, and trends followed 2018, it would be November/December by the time stock is readily available. Not great if your card happens to break (worse if you need it for work, rather than just for gaming).
