  1. My wave 1 screwdriver shipped out before my wave 1 backpack lol
  2. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if MSI just offloaded that specific slow selling model onto Linus. They basically tricked Linus into selling an overpriced product that they otherwise were having trouble to sell. In the US, the 3080 Tis are the only NVIDIA cards that I regularly see in stock at MicroCenter and they're usually around the same $1900-2000 price range. Edit: The "cheaper" near MSRP 3080 Tis, around $1400-1500 USD, sell out a lot faster, before its actually out of stock for a long time. But, those stupidly priced 3080 Tis take weeks before they're gone and by then a different model at the similar $1900-2000 price takes its place.
  3. MSI scalped the shit out of that card. You can get a 3080 Ti, not the specific MSI OC model, for $1700-1800 USD on eBay with buy it now and not going through an auction. Hell, you might as well skip the entire VAG program and just buy it from MicroCenter/Newegg scalpers at the same price as VAG.
  4. That's how the used market is now. Now, all the old tech is super good, serviceable, and cheap. 5 seasons ago, you had to spend hours to find parts that were even close to good. One of Linus's Lenovo machines would've cost $200 for a 4th Gen i5 and everything but the GPU. Linus then bought a r9 390 for $100. He spent a total of $300 for a 4th Gen i5, r9 390, 8gb ram, and a boot ssd. That's a great price for a whole system. Season 3 didn't even include the price for a monitor, mouse, and keyboard.
  5. The patch is already out for Windows 7 and 8.1. It'll show up in Windows Update next Tuesday, but if you want to patch it now you have to manually do it. The download links for the patches are here, in Microsoft's Update Catalog.
