They are smart trying to empty stock for the mid April 3080ti.
Meh, this thing will be worthless if you can't mine with it. Why do you think they sell for so much, to play games? LMAO

Yeah if could not mine I could see it on slickdeals for 20% off msrp with instant savings. Maybe its a last ditch effort by dell to get all the product out now before shit hits the fan in crypto.

Dell is not paying scalper prices. People down vote my answer and I don't know why. Oh well. Everybody has their own opinion. Mine comes from direct interaction with dell and 7 years of experience in electronics retail. Just trying to help people out here. Nothing in this for me. I don't work for Dell.

Nvidia looks to restrict 3080ti and 3070ti mining performance? If limitation not easily defeatable, that means regular 3080 still great

Yeah once its released they would ideally like to be sold out so they can charge higher prices for the 3080ti. If you want this for gaming this is not the one to buy. The 3080 ti is the one.

Its highly dependent on crypto prices. If crypto remains at these levels it will remain okay but with changes to eth coming and their roadmap, it is better to think you may get the card if you mine possibly free but to earn more is unknown. I think it is a good time to resell the card just like Dell.

Hey, for those of you chatting with Dell. Make sure they are applying any coupons you have (e.g. 10% off, and members pricing). So when they give you their "absolute best offer" (That's really what they told me) BS. As when I informed them I have almost a better price with 10% and members, they changed their tunes. They are a##holes
