Looks like i wont be upgrading till march probably in worse case scenario, may as well start saving for a 3090

So since you didn't get a 3080, you're going to emotionally bend over and spend $1500 for a 3090?

 

Can't get a 3080 for $700, so you'll spend $800 more?  How does that even logically compute?

I am from India. They did not even launch the cards no FEs the site still shows notify me no "out of stock". the AIBs retailers have bloated the prices the release price of 3080 is 71k INR already acc. to Nvidia which is 999$ USD,. These sellers are selling at 80K INR which is 1110$. Idiotic man. 

Hmmm.....
I sold my 1080ti couple of days ago hoping i will grab a 3080 and running on my gt210.

 fuck Nvidia no FE cards came to India thats what store said via email. just cause AMD does not have DL/ML support I am still buying your cards. Hope sun shines on AMD in near future.

This is irritating, stupid, and the people behind it are cash-grabbing morons.

 

BUT....

 

Your current graphics card has served you for however long. It will serve you for another few months. You do not need a 30-series card right now. Just have some bloody patience.

Tell that to those who sold their 2080Ti lol

They gambled. 

 

Happens everyday, everywhere.  They thought they were going to win, and depending on the amount of money they got for their 2080Ti's... they still may have.

 

Nvidia handled the launch like pieces of shit, but we'll still buy their goods.  We have no consumer backbone.

 

Is what it is.

Which is why they need some proper competiion (I hope - though I am doubtful - that Intel Xe will be it).

 

Nvidia get away with it being the least worst option. AMD Radeon cards have their buggy drivers and poor performance at the higher end, which is prohibitive for many GPU buyers, and apart from those two, there's nobody else really making graphics cards for PCs. So we just put up with their mediocrity.

You realise you just said they're "mediocre" yet that nobody is able to even get to the same level in the same sentence?

Correct. The actual cards are fine (though I do feel like there's a lack of innovation); the way they handle their customers (and, in my experience, the drivers) are not.

 

The problem is, in a word, complacency.

Welp, it's not like AMD fairs any better in those departments either.

which is exactly the problem... it's either mediocre or slightly more mediocre. Nvidia need some true compeition.
