@8:23 As a person who just bought a pair of $30 tweezers for jewellery making, I totally sympathize. Seeing them literally melt in the flames of my torch doesn't make me weep nearly as much as what Nvidia subjected yours to.
I was able to snag the EVGA FTW3 version at Microcenter for $1400. It was $1700 for the MSI version and $2000 for the ASUS STRIX version. Normal 3080s were going for $1199! I waited in line from 3am-10am. there were probably 60-120 people at least when they opened. Its crazy. This shortage is very bad lol
I think I saw the whole magnet removal first at igor´sLAB... He just used a peace of tape to pull them out... And then I witnessed the sheer horrors of metal steve mishandling this poor thing... but maybe his 3080 shroud or magnets had diviations from the supposed factory tolerances...
You should do a tear-down of the partner models and maybe do a BOM breakdown to estimate how much profit (e.g. scalping) they are doing. There is no way a manufacturer overclocked 3080 Ti should cost $2k.
I fully agree that the price hike isn't warranted at all. But at the same time this is the only card I managed to buy at MSRP to upgrade from my 2080. I'd rather buy an overpriced card at MSRP than pay $2000 to a low life scalper for a marginally "worse" card. Thanks for the video though. I needed this to determine whether I could use a 3080 waterblock on my Ti
The most significant difference is that on the original 3080, the 8 was upside-down, which was corrected on the TI. The 2nd most significant difference, and also the least significant difference, is the MSRP.
The first retail prices for board partner 3080Ties are up, ranging from €2299 (Inno3D) to €2699 (MSI). This was never going to be an affordable or bang-for-buck GPU. But bear in mind that the 6900XT is up to €400 cheaper than the cheapest 3080Tie (and less power hungry). If you're silly enough to buy any GPU at all in this market, let alone these top tier ones, I wouldn't overlook AMD.
I would unironically enjoy watching something like that, it'd be interesting to see how something as non-related to thermal conduction as a $100 bill, might actually do something (I'm talking like a 0.1 degree difference) But, this could certainly be a fire hazard and would need to treated carefully.

@@AC-io8qs Yeah but that only works if the product is actually inferior. This video doesn't display that and with a market starved of GPU's they could have made this product worse than the 3080 charged more, and still sold every single one. People would be angry, but they still would have purchased it. A good example is pre-orders. People keep getting burned by pre-orders and yet they still pre-order.... and those people can still get the product at launch.
In this case Nvidia is selling way below market value. scalpers have shown the market will bear 2x+ price increase. That 200$ if nvidea didn't get it, a scalper would.
good thing is, some OEM (Prebuild) even go as far off pairing RTX 3080 or Radeon RX 6800 XT with Core i3 or Ryzen 3 3300X with 8 GB single stick DDR4 2400mhz with crappy motherboard that didn't have a heatsink for VRM, and crappy PSU that will turn into a fireworks if you try to use it. They desperately sell those crappy PC just because some people buy prebuild, get the GPU, and throw away anything else.
The MSRP was already high, but almost every third party 3080Ti comes at 2000+€ (~2400$), this is getting ridiculous, even an RTX 3070 wil be at least 850€(~1000$). You basically have to pay the price of a full gaming PC to just get a high-end card (and even this is debatable seeing how many cards are above the 3070, it would almost be considered in the middle at this point). The worst is seeing 3080Ti already on sale on ebay SECONDS after the launch, from people trying to pass as good guys posting things like "I managed to get a custom after already buying a FE, so I'm selling the FE", but OOPS, the price went from 1200$ to 1800$....
Camped out at microcenter and ended up buying a 3090ftw3 since they had no 80s. Hated paying it, but now the 3080ti is going for the same money with a hash rate limit and half the ram. Its insane. From what I've seen overclocking the 3080tiftw3 gets you 100+mhz less. So the value is worse than a card that was already rediculous.

Me being the blurry visioned dyslexic I am read your comment as "I wonder how those chewing pads function as thermal gum" and that honestly just made it even funnier
Dont get why everyone was seemingly being okay with this being $1000, 780Ti/980Ti/1080Ti have all been $700 MSRP and this should've been too. Max of $750 if you want to worry about "inflation". We shouldnt be complaining about it not being $1000 but rather about not being ~$700 as we're just allowing GPU makers to be more greedy when things settle down. Taking a good guess that 4080Ti/5080Ti gonna be $1000 rather then $700 MSRP if this is how everyone keeps reacting.
The problem is lack of competition and the general need for a GPU if you want a rig. We need to buy "something" and therefore can´t just vote with our wallet. AMD is only now with FSR in the real competitor ranks. It is just those times we are in, that we see no fruitition from that. Don´t get me wrong i completly agree with you, especially as the manufacturing processes decreased the cost, but Nvidia allways incrementally increased their prices due to their monopoly.
I also feel they saw how people are still buying from scalpers cause I guess desperation? That's how I feel it went from $1000 to $1200 so fast. "We can make more, people will buy at any price." I wouldn't be surprised when more stock comes in and they hike prices for the other cards. It'd be a shitty move but people would still buy.
you have to take into account, that newer process nodes, newer memory chips, newer and preciser voltage regulators on the boards and and and are getting more expensive too plus the designe of the arcitecture for gpu´s is getting more expensive too...but the 1200$ is just way too high, if you can sell a 3080 with profit at 700$
I guess I'd still rather have manufacturer s getting the money from the higher prices instead of randos on eBay - at least that way it has a chance of going back into r&d
@@FirstUsername No I just played the game. Video card market is so crazy right now I got way more for my RX580 than it was worth so it made my 3080 about $300.

Thank you again guys. Once your tool kit comes back in stock I'll be picking one up. I have the large size volt mod mat and the thing is awesome!

I loved the out of character joke with Steve pocketing the cash from Nvidia 😂 Completely against the ethos of GN, it was so hilarious 😁 And with the double joke, that's where the $200 extra went. Great layered gag 👌
My 3070 came bent like a banana from shipping and it works totally fine. Event bent it back mostly straight and it's fine. These suckers are reasonably tough. Helps that the board is fairly sparsely populated where the bend was.
Not that anyone cares but the IO plate on my 3080 is silver like the 3080 Ti’s. It seems review/early units of the 3080 shipped with a black io plate, while the one I managed to get in September of last year has the silver one.
Technically, Ti is the periodic symbol for titanium Nvidia has said itself Ti stands for titanium I machine lots of materials (including titanium) for a living, and in material and manufacturing industries it's commonly pronounced "tie" in short.
To play devil's advocate , what's in it for AMD to do that? Good karma from the public doesn't make money for the all important shareholders. As much as I agree with your statement and would love to see it happen, both companies are doing well with sales , so there's no motivation to make a reasonably priced gpu at this point . Sorry to burst your bubble .
@@randoir1863 You're not significant enough to burst anything. The fact of the matter is there are people out there that have a preconceived notion that AMD is garbage and would not touch it whatsoever. Public perception could easily shift if they manage to beat their competition with a superior product. If every GPU supplier keeps raising prices, the PC gaming market becomes less popular, users shift to consoles, prices go down. It's all about keeping a balance.
@@FirstUsername no its all about the next quarter. And PC gamers are as forgetful as most digital customers. They both jack prices SMASH targets. Stock skyrockets.

It's even more amazing they were able to fit $100 under the thermal paste.
@@SuperSmashDolls Who knew $100 bills were so good and transferring heat
I wonder how well those thermal pads function as chewing gum.
I wonder if they come in any flavor besides cool mint.
@@float32 polar ice? Haha
Me being the blurry visioned dyslexic I am read your comment as "I wonder how those chewing pads function as thermal gum" and that honestly just made it even funnier

Found this funny knowing some toys(Bandai Minipla and TakTomy Kabaya) come with free gum...
cant wait for the 3080 Hen Ti Waifu
“Let’s see where the extra $200 went”
*Opens shroud
Naah it's reviewer motivation from nvidea
Dont get why everyone was seemingly being okay with this being $1000, 780Ti/980Ti/1080Ti have all been $700 MSRP and this should've been too. Max of $750 if you want to worry about "inflation". We shouldnt be complaining about it not being $1000 but rather about not being ~$700 as we're just allowing GPU makers to be more greedy when things settle down. Taking a good guess that 4080Ti/5080Ti gonna be $1000 rather then $700 MSRP if this is how everyone keeps reacting.
The problem is lack of competition and the general need for a GPU if you want a rig. We need to buy "something" and therefore can´t just vote with our wallet. AMD is only now with FSR in the real competitor ranks. It is just those times we are in, that we see no fruitition from that.
Don´t get me wrong i completly agree with you, especially as the manufacturing processes decreased the cost, but Nvidia allways incrementally increased their prices due to their monopoly.
I also feel they saw how people are still buying from scalpers cause I guess desperation? That's how I feel it went from $1000 to $1200 so fast. "We can make more, people will buy at any price." I wouldn't be surprised when more stock comes in and they hike prices for the other cards. It'd be a shitty move but people would still buy.
you have to take into account, that newer process nodes, newer memory chips, newer and preciser voltage regulators on the boards and and and are getting more expensive too plus the designe of the arcitecture for gpu´s is getting more expensive too...but the 1200$ is just way too high, if you can sell a 3080 with profit at 700$
I guess I'd still rather have manufacturer s getting the money from the higher prices instead of randos on eBay - at least that way it has a chance of going back into r&d
Isn't it $1200 MSRP tho?
The "tie' joke NEVER gets old, lmfao. I laugh EVERY time.
Getting my 3080 at MSRP in September is now looking like it was a steal at the time (it wasn't).
Getting my 3080 Founders at MSRP and clearing $400 on my RX580 did make is a steal though. :)
@@SubZtx you having a stroke?
I paid double for a 3080 and a 3090. They have now mined double the doubled prices. My whole new PC with a 5950X and a top end uwqhd monitor is free 😎
@@FirstUsername No I just played the game. Video card market is so crazy right now I got way more for my RX580 than it was worth so it made my 3080 about $300.
I'm probably going to end up with a used 20 series when the 40 series launches! 😒🙄😥
Apparently McDonald's messed up Jensen's order. Mans asked for Sprite and McDonald's gave him clown juice.
Thus, 3080TI is born
Tie fighter... killing prices all year long
I just love the design of the FE version, its just beautiful.

The magnets, work through magnetism Steve.
Surprisingly.
@@mikeoxmells69 Magic.
4:50 Man that was spicy LULW
4:48 WTF!? They put $200 inside!!! 11:13 more $$$ Money!!!??? WTF!?
15:42 You found the difference! Look at all that money falling out of that thing!!! 😡
Yall think him finding money in the card is meant to be a joke, it's really not
SO many useless different iterations of the same basic crap one with more X one with less X one's heavier one's lighter, just make a good 60/70/80 and pump them out and move the hell on. Theres a SHORTAGE.
Going to ignore all gpu videos from now. Until stock is available at sane prices. 😢
They never were sane prices.
When all is said and done (and there's a lot to be said), I have to admit that the 30XX Founder cards are goddamn gorgeous.
Ti or Tie cards used to be very interesting releases. Now they just seem to be rehashes or unused parts slammed together. Rather disappointing/boring
Steve and the rest of GN...THANK YOU for all that you guys do! Also, Tech Jesus out here breaking Nvidia's ankles with these shots. Holding nothing back, as it should be, and I love it! Thank you again guys. Once your tool kit comes back in stock I'll be picking one up. I have the large size volt mod mat and the thing is awesome! Came in handy when I was doing my new 5900x and 6900XT build!
Holy crap that money skit had me laughing.
I like to be different, so I will refer to it as an RTX 3080 Titanium FE.
I loved the out of character joke with Steve pocketing the cash from Nvidia 😂 Completely against the ethos of GN, it was so hilarious 😁 And with the double joke, that's where the $200 extra went. Great layered gag 👌
The Tie fighter uses these cards.
This legitimately looks so much like the OG 3080, I clicked this video thinking it was the old one lmao
So they're not only selling it for insane prices, they didn't even improve the negatives the FE had.. That's just sad.
Interesting way for nvidia to handle mail in rebates... No more mail ins, they just stick the money inside the card...
Well, it does look like a bow tie.
Tie Fighter
My 3070 came bent like a banana from shipping and it works totally fine. Event bent it back mostly straight and it's fine. These suckers are reasonably tough. Helps that the board is fairly sparsely populated where the bend was.
RTX 3080 T I: Hey, I can copy your homework.
RTX 3080 FE: Sure, but make it a little different so GN can't say it's the same.
RTX 3080 T I:
The most expensive Tie ever 😀
If we talk about clothing luxury brands go much higher.
With this kind of prices (even at MRSP, RTX 3080 TIE already not make any sense), I might get RTX 3000 series when Nvidia release RTX 5000 series.
4:19 Haha, "Ghost Finder"
Nah man, that's for finding water!
hate how people are paying these insane prices.......now the GPUs will always be expensive. I remember when I bought a 1080 ti for 600 bucks
That Moment when you still play with your GTX960 XD.
Im still rocking a GTX970 haha playing most games on mix of medium to high settings.
Not that anyone cares but the IO plate on my 3080 is silver like the 3080 Ti’s. It seems review/early units of the 3080 shipped with a black io plate, while the one I managed to get in September of last year has the silver one.
U like an Paleontologist looking at dino bones and giving us a history of this fossilized dung
Fossilized Dung 😂😂
I get it. It's the 3080 Ti, and the design is a bow tie
"NVIDIA is the Single Worst Company We've Ever Dealt With, so Nvidia ......" Linus Torvalds
Wait does anyone even know what the "Ti" stands for? Nvidia is just now having a department waking up.
Titanium
they are the little brother of the Titan class cards. how is this lost on people its amazing. They have literally been here for multiple generations.
@@yup-yl7yo titan cards don't exist anymore though. . .
The GeForce 2 Ti was the first use of Ti, and some boxart says titanium explicitly.
@@yup-yl7yo Titan did not exist when the "Ti" moniker was introduced. The first GPU to be a "Ti" was the Geforce 2 released 20 years in October 2001
Despite all the garbage about pricing and availability….the Nvidia FE is a sweet looking GPU ❤️❤️🥰🥰🥳🥳
Every time Steve pronounces “ti” it fills like nvidia is hold him hostage
I enjoyed the Friday the 13th pronunciation at 15:10, lmao.
"The 3080 Ch-Ch-Ch Ah-Ah-Ah"
Pls, it's the 3080 Tie and the 3080 Dress-Down-Friday.
Ran that cash joke firmly into the ground
Great teardown, tho
Technically, Ti is the periodic symbol for titanium
Nvidia has said itself Ti stands for titanium
I machine lots of materials (including titanium) for a living, and in material and manufacturing industries it's commonly pronounced "tie" in short.
aye, pee pee poo poo check
It's not up to AMD or NVIDIA. Global manufacturing shortage going on.
To play devil's advocate , what's in it for AMD to do that? Good karma from the public doesn't make money for the all important shareholders. As much as I agree with your statement and would love to see it happen, both companies are doing well with sales , so there's no motivation to make a reasonably priced gpu at this point . Sorry to burst your bubble .
@@randoir1863 You're not significant enough to burst anything. The fact of the matter is there are people out there that have a preconceived notion that AMD is garbage and would not touch it whatsoever. Public perception could easily shift if they manage to beat their competition with a superior product. If every GPU supplier keeps raising prices, the PC gaming market becomes less popular, users shift to consoles, prices go down. It's all about keeping a balance.
And availability. I actually want to be able to fucking buy it.
@@FirstUsername no its all about the next quarter. And PC gamers are as forgetful as most digital customers.
They both jack prices SMASH targets. Stock skyrockets. In a year or so after the crypto crash they will roll out some PR bollix about coustomer care and while some if us on the internet will remember how they fucked us. The *VAST* Majority will conveniently forget and activity celebrate how great they are.
AMD litterly have ZERO incentive atm to majorly undercut. No matter what price they or NAVIDA put ... $2000 3080s .... they will clean out shelves. And after we will continue to buy them because you know what ...PC gamers are all about the 4k 1000000000 FPS bullshit and will pay what ever it takes.
Its sad and frustrating but doesnt change the world.
I'm dead with all the money in the card 😂😂😂
Watching you work on 30 series is much like watching an autopsy of bigfoot, I know it's real because your showing me but every time I go into the woods to I find nothing.
The 3080 Tie now produced in Ti-Land.
Nvidia is making fun of us. Yesterday, In Italy there was no founder edition on sale. I don't know other country but here it seems a kind of horrible joke. Nvidia, limited edition means that you need to sell at least one of founders on your website, at least one not no one. That's not a limited edition card that is just a fu..ing immaginary card!
I thought it was always pronounced Tie, as in Titanium. I feel like that isn't new and had been confirmed years ago.
Except Jensen himself announced the 2080Ti and pronounced it tee eye... like he's done before on previous launches...
