MSRP Asus RTX Ad legit?

Saw this Asus Ad on Facebook, thinking it is too good to be true, but on the off chance it is real, thought it wouldn't hurt to ask around. If you click it, it brings you to the Asus store, and lets you put your selected items into your shopping cart.聽
Maybe I just got a virus from it?聽馃

Thanks for the speedy reply! I assumed so, just needed another person to reinforce it. Also, I wish it were real!聽

It wouldn't be the real Asus website, it'll be a fake site that looks similar and maybe has a similar domain.聽

Nobody is selling RTX3080's for $349.聽

There's been a lot of graphics cards scams advertised on Facebook and Instagram lately. I'm amazed how many people actually pay attention to ads on Facebook. Install an adblocker.
