3080 had an unfair launch. Only those with bots got to buy a card.

Best of all, the aftermarket cards don't have as good cooling as the founder's edition, and cost more. This means that aftermarket cards will have worse benchmarks, for more money. I wouldn't be surprised if they upped the price on these cards in the future and used this "paper launch" to justify the price increase.

Oh well. Guess I'll stick with my 2070 Super until two years from now. I remember getting it last year in preparation for Cyberpunk. In hindsight it was a great choice, because the 2080 would have been turned into a waste by the 3080 launch, and the 3080 got a "Paper Launch".

The prices already gone up, already said this was Nvidia's plan. Moores law is dead wasn't lying about this, one example is the EVGA FTW here is almost £1000. The majority are £749.

If AMD are going to do the same, then it is a hobby I cannot continue, I'm not going to be mugged. 

The funny thing is that if it wasn't for greed the PC would be so much better of a platform. Everybody has to have their own store these days. Epic wants stuff to be exclusive to their store for a year. Denuvo is thrown onto every other PC title. PC versions of games still get massively delayed with lazy ports. Graphics card prices are insanely unfair on a cost to power ratio.
