After trying pretty much every single day (minus 1 or 2 days of deals not worth it) since the 3080 Ti was announced, I've finally been selected. Holy hell I can't believe I'm about to spend this much money.

Gigabyte 3080 Ti + Gigabyte Vision D Z590 Mobo

$1769 before tax. I don't even think I'm a gamer anymore. I think I'm just a full blown enthusiast now. I haven't even been able to game much lately what with my 10 month old daughter taking a lot of my time plus the relationship I'm in. The motherboard is $350 by itself which is ridiculous.

I gave up. I would rather wait until next year to buy a card for no hassle rather than pay up front for a bundle with something I don't need.

I'm happy with my 3070 although the price you got your 3080TI is basically what I paid for my card.

It's going to be longer than next year until prices are normalized back to msrp and they're readily available. 2-4 years.

Getting that huge raise + promotion last year really made me bougie. 3 years ago I would have thought no way in hell would I spend that most on a whole build, let alone just a part or two.

My friend gave up trying about a week or two ago since we'd get the "You weren't selected" email every single day.

It's crazy how some of the models (at MSRP at that) cost more than the next card up. Or sometimes next two cards up.

Yea I know and that's probably why they still have so many shuffles daily, but I really wanted the card. My biggest gripe is I wanted an EVGA card. I was planning on upgrading my mobo if I got the card anyway, just not $350 mobo. I wanted a Gigabyte Aorus mobo in the $200-250 range. So it's not a huge loss.

i mean hey, spend your money however you want

im more dazed at how expensive gpus have gotten. even before the pandemic. i got my 1060 for like 250 bucks NEW back in 2016. and that was the mid tier

now mid tier is 800 bucks and high end tier is what, 1500 MSRP?

if prices dont go back down i'll either have my rx 5700xt for the rest of my life, or ill just stick with console gaming.

MSRP for the base 3080 Ti is $1199 I think. The problem is that specific combo came with a higher model instead of the base model. Maybe like once a week I'll see a base model in the shuffle.

The 3070 Ti and especially the 3080 Ti are ludicrously overpriced even at MSRP because Nvidia knows that people will pay that price now.

Imo that mobo is ugly as sin. Idk why but I don't like the plain white m.2 heatsinks.

I'm not as familiar with Gigabyte's labeling as I am with EVGA (XC3 vs FTW3 etc), but I'm actually skeptical now. This is the base model Gigabyte card:
https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-3080-ti-gv-n308teagle-12gd/p/N82E16814932439

The only difference I see between the two are OC at the end of the more expensive one. I thought it was at least a different model like EVGA's XC3 vs the FTW3

Everyday I'm thankful to the RNG Gods for getting me a 3090 at MSRP back in January. I would have given up long ago if I had to check shit like this everyday.
