Nvidia RTX 3080 Timeline
SEPTEMBER, 1st, 2020Nvidia has something new! The upcoming Ampere architecture graphics card that would replace the current Turing architecture(RTX 20xx).
Many people have decided to stay on the Pascal architecture(GTX 10xx series) due to Turing's lackluster performance gains.
However, the bold claims of up to 2x performance makes the Ampere cards alluring for people looking to upgrade.
With the highly anticipated Ampere release, people have started to wait outside MicroCenter, a major electronics retailer, despite the dangers of covid.
Releasing at 9AM EST or 6AM PST, countless people pull all nighters just to secure a card.
Seconds before 6AM PST, websites have already started crashing.
Nvidia's, Best Buy's, and Newegg's RTX card inventory is wiped immediately.
This is without a doubt the work of SCALPERS!
Many tear were shed that day as Nvidia has a Paper Launch.
