I was looking to upgrade my 2080S and then give the 2080S to my son for Christmas.

Well forget that. There is nothing even close to reasonably priced. Hell even the 2080S which I think I paid like 700 something for is over 1000 dollars. I'm not going to pay 2000+ for a 3080. Insane.

I bet this is hurting other pc part manufacturers. If you can't get a graphics card then you likely might put off upgrading the rest of your pc.

Hopefully this gets fixed soon.

I don't know enough about this one way or the other, but why wouldn't those OEMs just use their cards in their own mining rigs?

It's a lot more complex than just having the cards. Just because you can manufacture a GPU does not mean you can build a scaled data center to mine on them. After that, you need the expertise to know what to do with the crypto.

It's faster to partner with someone who has the expertise you need and share the reward. That's how Joint Ventures work.
