Nvidia also supports DLSS which is brilliant upscaling that AMD is trying to catch up to. Nvidia broadcast is also a great tool for noise cancellation etc…
On the flip side, this card has 6GB more vram than the 3080 FE and obviously will be much easier to obtain. That 6GB could make a difference for 4k gaming and will be more future proof obviously

I'm mainly looking at bandwidth price to performance.
everything else for me doesn't matter.
I mine on my off time as I don't buy 100 gpus like many crypto miners.
they will have a real hard time liquidating their stonk of GPUS.
sorry miners.
high energy prices + price of crypto going down must be hurting your bottom line.
Miners must have been selling crypto to meet energy price demands as well as HF meeting margin calls with crypto.

On NewEgg: I have had zero issues. I recently bought a computer case that UPS rough handled and NewEgg replaced it prior to getting the return. However, I did take pictures...
If you are a gamer, stop reading here. Nothing below will be interesting. Actually, nothing below is interesting for anyone. Everyone should stop reading.
For Linux people, AMD's drivers are 1000x better than nvidias. Until 3 yrs ago, I'd only buy nvidia on purpose for about the last 15 yrs. Then they dropped support for a perfectly working 7200GS and the cheapest replacement was a GT 1030 ($70 at the time, now $120). I usually get fanless GPUs - silence if more important to me than performance.
Last fall, I got an AMD iGPU Ryzen and the drivers required a newer Linux kernel, but it booted and worked well enough for a non-desktop. Only got the iGPU version to save $100+ on an expensive GPU.
As for mining BC or some other blockchain currency, I thought using GPUs wasn't the most cost effective solution for the last 10 yrs. People were building BC mining specific hardware for $20k-$200k instead. I mined a few BCs around 2010 as a curiosity. I really need to find that wallet. After all, it is my only retirement plan.
Edit: I have used their parts but haven't done any market research. if you have any data points to add, that would help, instead of your feelings towards them! I think the community cares about the why, not the what!
Graphics drivers are super complicated. For the past few years, nVidia has seemed to have the edge, but AMD has definitely been making significant investments in catching up.
"Return for refund within: Non-refundable"
"Return for replacement within: 30 days"
Price is great though, if not for the return problem. Also, rebates suck.
