Colorful Advanced OC HKD$8999. I bought it because my build has been missing for a GPU for a while and the 4080&4090 shortage in Hong Kong. 4080FE is still listing around HKD$12500 today. I doubt the retailers in Hong Kong are gonna sell the 4080S cheaper than 4080, or the release of 4080S will affect the price of 4080 much since we can’t buy them from Amazon, but maybe I’m just stupid.

Return it? What’s stopping you from doing that?
I’d wait for the 4080S at this point
First of all, do not call yourself stupid. Second of all, did you try using the card and seeing how it performs? The 4080 is no joke and if your performance is awesome, why even have doubts? Makes no sense. Try to enjoy what you have now.
If you can return it and get a 4080 super at MSRP, do that.
No. Why would you call yourself that?
4080 is a powerhouse. Enjoy. 🙂
Meh the 4080 “not so” SUPER is at most single digits better. Don’t worry about it
There is always something bigger better cheaper coming soon.
Sometimes you have to buy what is available there and then, otherwise you will never buy in fear of not buying the next version.
You have got an amazing GPU. Enjoy it.
Only absolute legends have a 4080
I bought mine about a month ago, no regrets – great card.
I mean, we always aim and hope for the best. As long as it satisfies the purpose of your purchase or investment. Rock ‘n’ roll bruva!💪🏽
so the 4080 and 4090 arent easily available but you think the 4080S will?
Id would have done the same.
If you keep thinking that, you either upgrade every gen or you stop caring. Because the newest shiniest toy will always be around the corner. Stop chasing that dragon unless you can wipe your ass with 100 dollars/eu/whatever other currency you use.
You’ll be much happier in the long run. The 4080 is a phenomenal card, just badly priced.
I won’t call you stupid but I believe that was a mistake. I’d surely wait a month to get an S, even for the same price, but I still would expect it to be lower. 200$ difference in MSRP simply can’t be ignored by retailers.
i have a 4080 and i can play any game whit a lot of fps
Go back to the aslume
The fault doesn’t lie with you, but with Nvidia and their business practices. Gaming is secondary to them and when the rtx 4000 series proved to be bad value, they turned around and released the supers. They might end up being in short supply thanks to their focus on AI, so don’t sweat it too much. Be happy with what you have, in some countries that card is half a year’s wage.
Yes I would call not waiting for something stronger and $200 cheaper with only 1-2 weaks away from release stupid.
Yeah. Send it to me instead.
Common case of buyer’s remorse. Install it in, and watch it run 4k ultra every game you throw at it (maybe needs help from dlss but who cares)
You were not stupid till you post it here
Well i bought a LG oled 1440p 240 hz monitor a month ago and they just announce the new ones which are much better. Theres always sth better out there. Just enjoy what u have. 4080 is a beast
No 🥲🥲
Yass
I envy. Cause already sold 2 kidneys. Now seeing this post urging me to sell my kids kidney after this.
The 4080 is a great card with high performance. No reason to feel stupid about it. You bought a great card.
Well. Not as stupid as December. You’re still within your return period. So return it and get a full refund; then buy the 4070 Ti Super for $400 less, and overclock it to match the 4080.
How much is it in freedom dollars?
There wont be much of a performance difference between those.
If you got it for a good price, dont regret.
If u still use ur 3700x and 1080p yes u are
If you’re happy with the performance, that’s all that matters. That’s what I like about this sub, barely anyone goes full LTT and hardware-shames
you shouldn’t need to upgrade for 20 years
4080s will prob go down the same route as 4080&4090. Nvidia can set the price at whatever they want but if there’s not enough supply to the market the price will be driven up. Get it and enjoy it.
I mean your probably stupid, but not because of this. you bought an awesome card, and I hope you get a lot of enjoyment from it.
You’ll be fine. I think it’ll be hard to even get a 4080 Super as I imagine stock will be very competitive to get. Enjoy yourself!
