Newegg had an MSI 4080 Super OC in stock yesterday for 1069. I almost blinked. It looked better than that Zotac though.

Just ordered a 4080 Super FE from Nvidia. Pumped. I hope it ships.

If you ordered it directly from Nvidia, it should be fine.

Yeah. Got a hotstock alert. Just got confirmation email. Today was a good day.

They have the "add to cart" button for the 4090 for 1599 right now.

I think the $1,000 4080S is going to take a little bit of pressure off of the 4090. It won’t sit on the shelves, but it will stay in stock for longer.

I thought about it, but I'm just gonna wait for the 5090. 4080S will be plenty good until then

I’m still on 1440p so the 3080 will do until the 5080

I am too and on the 3080 as well. As a matter of fact, earlier in this thread I said I would skip the 4080S. I lied to y'all and myself because I've been at the 4080S FE aggressively for a few weeks, knowing good and well that my build is still good.
The good news in all of this is that my kid that is on a 3060TI gets my 3080 now.
ETA: 4090 out of stock at Nvidia. 4080S still available.

I’m still holding strong with my 3080. I think I can hold out until next cycle. Hopefully there isn’t some stupid sale

This is what I was saying and then I decided to do something stupid. But hey, this 4080S will last me a few years, or until the 5090 comes out. Who knows. Life is funny like that.

Carson,
You get this up and running? I'm looking for your input on the 7800X3D, X670E Tomahawk combo. I want this too. My future resides in your hands.

The thing I’m holding onto is that while I think a 4090 could keep me above 100fps at 1440p ultrawide with RT, a 4080S can’t. And the next card I buy, I want it to last me I make the leap to 5k/2k in a few years. I just don’t think a 4080S is powerful enough to swing that.

I have one standoff on the case that is not lining up with the rest on the mobo. It's close enough to where it looks lined up, but the screw wont catch. I think I can get it but I'll need a second person to screw in while I apply enough directional force to the mobo

Nvidia is finally updating and merging its (terrible) control panel and gforce experience. It's only on beta for now, but it looks good thus far: HUB - Youtube

You may know this already but make sure none of the screws are tight before you put too much pressure on the board. Or just skip that screw.
Any reason you went X670E instead of a different one? I want it because PCIE 5 on both the the gpu and M.2, and 4 M.2 slots.

yeah, it wont screw with 0 other screws in. There's a standoff in the center that is just a filled stud and doesn't get a screw, it's just there for alignment. With only that that slotted in, I still can't start the screw in question

I agree. I would loosen them all up and then lightly try the offending screw again to see if that little bit of wiggle is enough. But if not, like you said, I would just say frick it and skip that screw. No reason to torque your board like that over a single mounting screw.
ETA: *reads subsequent post* Yeah, frick that screw. Just leave it out.
