While doing 3 sec refresh intervalls on NewEgg Canada, the Asus TUF shown up in stock... but was never able to add to my cart... I mean the card was for sale for no more than 3 DAMN SECONDS t and was unable to buy it... this is crazy and concludes my quest for a 3080 until things settle down.
Beware there are a lot of false positives for supposedly "in stock" items. They usually aren't real drops so don't sorry too much about it.
