Are you fucking kidding me people are actually camping out overnight in line at Microcenter for a GPU/RTX 3080?
No wonder I can never get a new GPU on release and months after for fucks sake what the hell is the world coming to when people are camping out the night before to be 1 of 12 people to snag a graphics card, LMAO! (*starts looking for my tent and camping gear.... )

I was supposed to get a reminder email when the RTX 3080 released but it got filtered into some other folder automatically and I never saw it. Wouldn't have mattered anyway, they were already all sold out by the time those emails went out.
Better to wait anyway, for all anyone knows, these new videocards might catch on fire or something (it's happened before).

Good point and also JaysTwoCents explained that emails are delayed and by the time you get the email they'll already be gone from the f5 pressers/refreshers, lol. I 'might' try bookmarking every online stores page and go for the f5 but thing is it is being released on a day I have to work so it would probably be hopeless anyway. My card is old and outdated, I think there might be a couple dust particles on it, I need a new one!

I'm still using a GTX 1070, it's become a little bit sluggish in a few newer games at max settings but it's still very powerful and has plenty of RAM.

Lol, camping for an expensive video card. Tell them that in the refugee camp Moria on Lesbos, they've been camping out for years there in the hopes of a better life, silly buggers...

I've never camped for a videocard. However I randomly stopped by Best Buy when the Radeon 9700 Pro was new and got the very last one on the shelf. The difference between that and my 8500 was huge. Running games @1024x768 with AA/AF was amazing for its time.
