if current queue times are anything to go by, you will be waiting till at least April 2021. AFAIK Rog strix are worse to get hold of than std 3080s too.
Their both making more profit, I've insinuated Nvidia and their counter parts have chosen to manufacture more of the premium card and PCS have evidently been able to acquire more.
This is mere speculation or "conspiracy".
mad ironic though...
PCS procurement department have been very successful in attaining stock of the 3090 GPU, thereby successfully persuading its customers to exchange their GPU's for more profit?
To the degree that all 3090 orders are gone and their is surplus stock to have the GPU removed...
im not upgrading to the 3090 because it's evident this is just customer manipulation from Nvidia, purposefully pulling in more stock for the 3090 knowing fine well alot of people will be tired of waiting and just switch....seems to be working. i'd rather keep the extra cash!
based on your queue you're best off keeping this order going and switching to the 3080ti when it's released. you'll be way into march unless chips start flying in...

still looks like roughly a 5 week wait from here on out for me.
Ordered: Stock 3080 & Ryzen 5900X
Order date: November 5th.
Pre-Production Time: 22 working days*.
Place in queue: 855/1361 for GPU, 129th of 514 for CPU.
that's what i'm taking from the live chat! - and the beauty of it was, when i started asking more questions related to it suddenly the chat was terminated.
Apparently im 855th in a queue of 1361 people!! - ordered 05.11.20.
i recently was requested to change my PSU due to stock shortages so i swapped the 850w to 1000w... will this have changed my position in the queue??? as if it has i will be extremely annoyed as this was done purely to speed up...
Thanks Scott,
I've redone the config in the desktop config so it's no longer overclocked.
yeah i think i'll spec the 3080 for now then and just wait in the queue.
