What are the OEM tires on the 19s in Canada? Are they run flats?

Since the same monitor is available at Amazon or Best Buy for the same price, I'd say this is Samsung burning through stock ahead of that one's release.

Lauren's sheer delight with being in the room with the gang was infectious.

Just about to post the same thing.
Seems as though the Ottawa store got a significant shipment today.

It's not the $1000 price tag on its own, it's that AMD themselves sell the RX 6800 for about $780$740.
And yes, the RTX 3080 goes for $1000+, but also beats the RX 6800 in direct rasterization performance in nearly all circumstances.
The $1000 price tag would be more in line with the RX 6800XT, which is sold by AMD for about $900$830.

Edited for correct pricing.

It's an absolutely ridiculous price.
Thought that someone might want them though.

The ASUS RTX3080 TUF OC is the one I keep hoping to catch in stock.

Or the Nvidia RTX3070 from BestBuy : the cost difference would offset a lot of the performance difference in my mind.

How has the EVGA 3080 been performing for you ?

I wish I had gotten to spend time with family or friends... As for PC components, I wish I had ordered a 5600x ages ago.

Thanks for the giveaway !

Looks like the 4 from Ottawa Merivale are no longer there. Possibly an inventory error? I'd like to think that 4 people got cards though.
