About 10 months ago, I dreamed that I could buy a discounted RTX 3080 now 
Yes, actually f@ck Nvidia for that! A lot of people are still waiting to grab an RTX 30x0 and they are proud to announce another product which we can only dream of for a few years same story…
With the current chip shortage they will probably manufacture 10 of them.
You mean they will sell plebs like us 10 of them. Do a google search for amd and nvidia revenue. They are selling products, just not to us… 
NVIDIA… Meant to be played… 
So, On the topic of the GPU shortage. The US House and Senate are getting ready to pass a bill where Scalping for high demand goods will be made illegal. So there is some hope.
In the US. that’s a whooping 3.5% of the world population 
Let’s see if it’ll pass, but I doubt that’s going to help me in any way.
Me and my 1060:
I hope this one can be more material-efficient at least to they at least produce a bit more according to demand 
A new computer is like ~same price as just the gpu. cyberpowerpc has really good deals sometimes. I got a desktop 5950x for like 1200, and before that a 1700 with a vega 56 for ~1k whenever vega was released some years ago. I saw a i9 with a 3090 for 2k earlier this year, shoulda just bought it lol. They must get a fixed supply at under retail msrp and probably some contract limitation on markup. Btw, Newegg has 6900xt for 1550 right now, Thats pretty good i think. I really wish there was some ~$100 option just a little better than integrated. Really, Amd integrated graphics is almost fine.
