It is baffling to see people paying over the odds there quite frequently for old 2nd hand things, but is it their money and clearly they haven't done any research. Some things I get. Like paying a bit more for an i7-7700 or 4790 or whatever than is economically sensible because you're not bothered with a full platform change....understandable. It's the GPU's that I really fail to understand. In some cases it's just pure impatience, someone wants something immediately, but not always. People paying "new" prices for several year old 2nd hand cards when the new options are a) cheaper b) perform as good or better with other benefits and c) well, literally, new Now he didn't get any bites I don't think but I saw a guy selling an R9 390 for 300 the other day on adverts. Talk about a time warp.

The product list features GeForce RTX 3060 (S – SUPER?) 8GB model, GeForce RTX 3070 16GB (S- SUPER?) and Geforce RTX 3080 20GB (also labelled S). It remains unclear if the S means a SUPER series, or as our sources tend to believe, the Ti models. The GeForce RTX 3080 20GB model is not expected to feature a higher core count than the just-released 10GB model, thus we are unsure if the product code is not final or the card might actually feature 3080 Ti or 3080 SUPER branding.

The number of RAM slots on the front should add up to 12, with 2 unused for the 3080 and all in use for the 3090, the main difference is that the 3090 is using double sided mounting. This was done historically but hasn't been done for a while by Nvidia but they seem to have moved back to this to save space. The 3080 20GB variant would just have to have the same 2 sided installation, so it's totally possible to have a 20 GB one. Heck, if you could get your hands on the RAM and were a magician with PCBs and soldering you could turn your 3080 10 GB into 24GB, but you would still have the 320bit architecture. Not the 384-bit bus.

It makes the launch far more paper-like than what Nvidia/AMD/Intel would have you believe. It can often take up to 6 or so months for it to become more reasonable. I'm planning on skipping the 3000 generation along with whatever AMD have coming. Can't really justify an upgrade from the 5700XT for the games I've been playing at 1440p.
