Oh my goodness.
Why don't you guys just wait?

1 In a month or two prices would have stabilized.
2 The brand of card you want will more likely be in stock.
3 20GB 3080's might be announced.
4 AMD will reveal Big Navi.
5 More reviews will be out on all the AIB cards. EG The Asus TUF is so fatr the best cooler out of all the ones tested.

Just relax guys.

Well technically they could stabilize to a higher level. :D
Personally at least I'm both itching for an upgrade in general and because CP2077 is releasing soon - that one qualifies as a must-have for me.

When supply increases prices will be more likely to hit MRSP.
Anyway have fun checking emails everyday. Where are you in the order Queue? No 154443? :D

6. If you just wait until the RTX 4000 is out you'll bag bargain second hand 3080's..

I can't be doing with buying on launch day as like yesterday proved it's full of desperation and it's all very sad imo. Fair enough if the cards were in plentiful supply and it's a breeze buying one. But try and trying with the website down is a bit sad indeed.

If I had nothing else to do apart from gaming then I'd probably have bought one (but I have other hobbies, two kids, I've just bought a new house so gaming isn't a priority in my thirties) - and only if AMD weren't launching next month. I just think it's very unwise to buy now when AMD are releasing only a month away!
 
I couldn't get my hands on a 3080 FE so I'm waiting it out for a 3090 Kingpin, spending 3 times as much is really going to teach those barstewards.

Exactly. If Big Navi is competitive with the 3080 it might force a price cut. You never know

There's no way the 3080s will remain as high as they are, the pounds strengthening, MSRPs 649, supply will outstrip demand before long etc, etc, and then there's AMD like you say, they're almost bound to weaken the price of the 3080s furthermore.
 
could have waited to be honest.

But rumours are ripe of a supply dry up going into November so thought it was now or never to grab a card at the lower MRSP price.

My only concern with RDNA2 is they don't seam to have an answer to DLSS which I think will be a key feature in new upcoming games to improve performance.
