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.

This. I read an article a few day ago that talked about record shipping volumes, if that's the case where are they going? I know some cards are not great for mining, so they must be going to resellers (scalpers) hoping to make a few quick bucks.

Crypto fags.

Think about it. You aren't breaking even if you buy a card for $1500 for a 3070 to mine crypto with. Not for 10+ years, and your card would go defunct and not get any hashes way before then.

Manufacturers and the media are just scapegoating crypto miners because it's convenient and most people don't know enough about it to understand how dumb it sounds that they're claiming that crypto miners are paying 3-4x over MSRP to mine with these cards.

But the machines that mine crypto use same chips?

IMO that's bullshit. Crypto is a convenient scapegoat but you aren't going to break even within like 10 years by buying a fucking 3070 for $1500 or whatever, so it's not crypto mining doing it.

The 30 series was a paper launch and NVIDIA still won't admit it.
