I know it's unlikely but do you remember the Radeon HD 4850 and 4870?
They came from nowhere and spanked Nvidia.

Wouldn't be surprised if that's just simple business tactics. Like when you go on certain wholesale retailers websites and it says "150 people are looking to buy this right now" yeah right
Soldato
Then you've not been paying attention
But then you can't spend days on the forum saying
1. How yours is being delivered today
2. The doorbell just rung.
3. Unboxing and photos for the forum with lots of
everywhere.4. Making up and insane overclock to impress people and modestly say you must have been lucky again
5. Let everyone know who has not got one that no doubt soon they will be able to join you in the promised land whilst secretly smirking at the losers.
If you are clever enough you can run that out until your 3090 is ordered and then you can spend days on the forum saying :-
1. How yours is being delivered today
2. The doorbell has just ..........
etc etc.

You don't even have to go that far back. The 2070 and 2060 got spanked last year. The Supers weren't released out of the goodness of Nvidia's hearts, and the 2060 even got a price cut, which Nvidia just never do.

On a well known high street stores website it says 132200 views in 24 hours on the TUF 3080. Yeah right
I agree with you sentiment but your point 1 is wrong. last time there was this kind of pathetic launch by Nvidia, prices stabilised in a few months time to £100-£150 more than launch price and they never ever want back down to first day prices.
Plus by the time stocks are plentiful we might have parity with the dollar and all cards are £1000+ in the UK

TBH I'm quite happy to take the risk.
Which is fine but just pointing out the flaw in your point 1. The rest of your points are valid though,

One UK retailer site was showing over a 1000+ people viewing certain 3080 models on the run up to 2pm yesterday.
And the way most the sites crashed and burned just after 2pm I do actually believe it.
The hype train is leaving the platform... choo! choo!

Spanked? all those benchmarks with the 2070 super outperforming the amd must have been rigged then or do we blame the drivers that was the problem? Yes it was cheaper, was cheaper for a reason.
Soldato
Prices will hike, like they did the last series. People will hoard them and sell them at insane value privately all while the average mug sits and waits for their 1 hour window before they are all sold out again, buying at said higher prices because vendors know people will lap it up.

Reading fail. He was talking about the 2060 and 2070 specifically at the price point that they were at, not about the Super lines RTX cards.
Now the 5700XT pretty much win and lose against the 2070 Super roughly 50/50 on the latest drivers depended on the games, so that actually make 2070 Super that costed £100/25% more a poorer value purchase.
Soldato
I never said Super. At launch the 5700 XT was cheaper and faster than the 2070, the 5700 was a good chunk faster than the 2060 and a touch more expensive. The Supers were released after as a counter to Navi.
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?
Yeah this is wrong. It happens on every single launch. There isn't enough stock at launch which pushes prices up. As more stock become available... prices stay high for about 6 months. It's all by design so Nvidia can sell cards for a higher price than they claim they are available for.
I've decided not to upgrade my 2080ti this year so...
Seriously though, is sh*tcoin mining still a thing, I thought the electricity costs outweighed any profit of this baseless currency? Isn't it about time governments stepped in, we have enough energy problems and climate change stuff going on as it is.

Do you think the demand for 3070 cards will also cause issues on release day?
Caporegime
Major retailers will probably get something in place to stop their websites completing imploding. Demand may be even greater with it being a cheaper card if it really does offer 2080ti level performance.
