Nvidia releases way under demand to create artificial scarcity. At least that's what the guy at microcenter was telling me.
Just saw @xyzzy posted the same.
In this case it looks like not just being under demand, but literally zero.
No one on any forum has been able to purchase a Founders Edition 3080. They simply went straight from 'Notify Me' to 'Out of Stock'.
Loads of tech forums and shop's websites have crashed due to a massive influx of people trying to find a 3080 or whinge about there not being any.
