So did anyone manage to buy a 3080 today? I was asleep. LOL But I dunno how fast they actually flew off the "virtual shelves."
"One of the better independent metrics I have seen is the number of posted benchmarks. There are a lot for Ampere given where it is in its lifecycle- too many for paper launch and miles ahead of Turing."
A scalped 3080 will benchmark just as well as a user bought 3080. Conspiracy theories aside the Scalperbot phenomenon seems to still be in full force. The only options for a 3080 I see are priced at $1500. NOT COOL!!
