Haven't seen a line like this for a product launch probably ever. I've seen lines this big like, 30 minutes before one releases. But never 8 hours beforehand.

      RTX 3080Ti. It is like ~5% faster than a 3080 non-Ti, but costs like ~30% more. But getting it at retail pricing is still almost half the price of what the scalpers want.

        comparing MSRP, it's about 10-15% faster and costs 70% (no typo) more - $700 -> $1200

        edit: not to mention the base 3080 will already tank any PS5/XSX game that makes its way to PC, and good aftermarket models can overclock to probably reach the FE 3080Ti performance. the only real reason to get one is that extra VRAM

        Yeah, it's likely not people upgrading from the 3080, it's probably people who wanted a 3080 or are buying in bulk to fucking mine bitcoin
