            problem 
            is 
            that 
            production 
            for 
            basically 
            everything 
            got 
            slowed 
            to 
            a 
            crawl 
            with 
            CoViD-19,
             
            especially 
            new 
            electronics.
             
            It's 
            the 
            same 
            reason 
            why 
            Playstation 
            5's 
            are 
            notoriously 
            hard 
            to 
            find.
             
            I 
            don't 
            expect 
            the 
            situation 
            to 
            improve 
            for 
            a 
            few 
            months 
            yet,
             
            and 
            if 
            you 
            are 
            really 
            in 
            the 
            market

            urgently 
            I'd 
            go

            @[GBC]Ivory_King's 
            advice 
            and 
            grab 
            an 
            RTX 
            2080 
            or 
            5800XT 
            instead.
             
            Also,
             
            it's 
            usually 
            a 
            lot 
            cheaper 
            for 
            little 
            drop 
            in 
            quality 
            to 
            get 
            the 
            RTX 
            xx70 
            or 
            x700XT 
            instead 
            of 
            the 
            xx80/x800XT 
            models,
             
            since 
            they 
            are 
            basically 
            the 
            same 
            architecture,
             
            just 
            with 
            about 
            10% 
            fewer 
            active
