- A: AnswerIt won't matter what time you are on. The scalpers with their bots will have bought out every single card within seconds of the release. If you want a card you will have to buy from a scalper at twice the msrp or more. This is happening because Best Buy isn't selling the cards from the stores but only online where you don't stand a chance of getting one. You would think that they would take better care of their customers than this but this must be the cheapest way for them to sell out without the trouble of actually sending products to the stores. This is the same way the 30 series cards were handled and you couldn't get one in a store for almost a year.

Amazing GPU with amazing looks
Got this card to replace my 3070 FE, and I am definitely impressed. With the same settings, I'm getting nearly double the performance in all my games. Currently have it paired with a 5800x (going to upgrade to 5800x3d soon) and has not been much of a bottleneck, but in some games it is noticeable. Same price as the 4080 FE, and honestly I think this looks better. Has 3 fans, so it cools amazingly, and haven't seen it go above 55C at all. Love the RGB, fully customizable with the VelocityX software from PNY, and it looks amazing in my HYTE Y60 White case. Couldn't find anywhere online to see if it would be too close to the glass in my Y60, but it has more than enough space (+ I have 2 Noctua fans below it at max speed and still quiet) Overall would definitely recommend if you're looking for 4k / high FPS 1440p gameplay in almost any game. Price is a little to high than it should be, but I pulled the trigger and it was 100% worth it.

Best model of the card for the price
Fellow PNY XLR8 4080 owner here, and when it comes to 4080s that are at MSRP, so between the founders edition, and gigabyte eagle, and this model, this is definitely the best one of the 3. It looks the coolest, it's the second smallest of the 3, has the best performing fans of the 3, and is the most quiet of the 3. It's still a huge card though, but it does come with an anti-sag bracket if you need it (trust me you will need it, mine sagged if I didn't use it). Performs incredibly well at every game I threw at it, even Cyberpunk 2077. DLSS 3 and Frame Generation are literal game changers and definitely help this card out. If you want to push the card further with overclocking though, you will have to flash the vBIOS, as this model of the card has a max power limit of 100% and cant go higher. It still performs incredibly well despite that however, and raytracing on it is great too. $1,200 is still definitely a lot for a card like this, but it is the best bang for your buck model of the card that is at MSRP. If the RGB isnt really your thing, you can turn it off, which is a good addition as well.

A ‘set it and forget it’ card
I paired this with the LGC2. Highest temp ive seen is 64c after about 5 hours, usually lower. Absolutely silent operation, fan speed hasnt gone over 1100ish rpm. No more worrying about temps or fps. Just max the settings and enjoy (other than a couple of games like CP2077 with RT). Runs perfectly with a 5900x, zero bottlenecks at 4k. Coming from a 6950xt reference card where temps, drivers, and RT were all trouble, this is the perfect card.
