I’m more interested in doing machine learning on large datasets, but I honestly might have to get into gaming if I get this thing. Technically my lab has two RTX 6000s but it would be nice to work on personal projects.

So bots basically got them all...

ah makes sense and yeah you'd have to try out some games if your about to get a 3090 lol

yup everything sold out in a matter of seconds
Amazon hasn't gone live yet though
people on twitter are claiming they go live in 15 minutes
can't find any proof tho

Ah, maybe i should buy one for resell

I doubt you'll lose your money if you do get one and try and flip it

these things are probably gonna be out of stock for a minute

yeah ive already got a 2080s so i dont really need a 3080, id rather upgrade my other components before a new gpu

Thank u! Arriving tomorrow

Release was a complete s***show in the netherlands

seemed to be a s*** show all around

i know at microcenter here people that got them had to wait outside for 15 hours, everyone that came later didn't get anything

supply seems incredibly limited

here the shops had around 10-20 stock per gpu id say

my friend told me Microcenter had 80 cards but the photo he sent me looked like at least 500 people in line lol

yeah definitely seems super limited

shops also saying the next shipment can be weeks or months away

damn Micro center said that they have more coming by October 12th so yeah it's probably gonna be a minute

Exactly. I would rather get one powerful GPU than connect two less powerful ones!

Waiting for 3060, but might be able to cop a used 2080 super for 400. worth it?

RTX 3080 INSTALLED

installing the gpu support bracket was a thing tho

3080 is literally 1.5x the site of the 1080

RIP small form factor cases

ngl I'm glad I'm not into building anything yet and letting this all play out till next year.

I would've been f***ed if I spent $200 on a Ghost S1 case.

yeah its funny for the last like 6-7 years AMD has always had the 350watt cards that were giant 3 slot designs when they try and compete in the high end and now Nvidia is putting out cards like that the year I wanted to switch to SFF lol

them using Samsung is why though, if these things were on TSMC they'd use like 30% less power

the only good news about using Samsung is that they have tons of extra capacity so once they get yields better in a couple months there should be a ton of cards

if they were using TSMC they'd be fighting with Apple, Qualcomm, AMD, Microsoft and Sony for capacity

Big Navi on TSMC 7nm+ should get 3080 tier performance for 275 watts according to rumors so that could be a good SFF card if its as good as the rumors say ofc
