@i_build_nanosuits Oh man, I didn't notice your message! Happy new year to you and your family too!
As for my GPU, still no word. I'm so pissed already, but I cannot cancel the order since I paid a low price for it (exactly MSRP).
And I think it won't be quick, because I ordered the 3080 TUF model that's the "non-OC", since we all know that the "OC" branding is complete BS and the cards are identical. But apparently ASUS sends out pretty much only the OC TUFs, to increase their margins during shortages... -

6 days ago, two months have passed since I ordered an ASUS TUF RTX 3080. I ordered it at an MSRP of $699 (plus 23% VAT in EU).
I still haven't received the card, despite the fact that I ordered it around 25-30 minutes after it went for sale on launch day... Now the same card at the same retailer is priced at around $1050, but at least for a short time it was available to order for the MSRP.
NVIDIA's CEO saying the RTX 3000 series had a "demand" issue, not a supply one is a giant joke, since they can't even fulfil day 1 orders for over two damn months.
Since then, seems like online retailers realized they can scalp even more money from people, so when the RX 6800 series cards went for sale, they were never listed at their MSRP, but their prices were hiked up right away. So a reference 6800XT which should be around $50 cheaper than the cheapest 3080, was listed at $915 and then sold out right away.
Fuck 2020, there's bad news from every possible angle... Let's hope for a better 2021!
