    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.

    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.

    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.
