NVIDIA has EULA to prevent data centre use of their hardware. Also, NVIDIA does not allow bulk buying of RTX series.

They barely allow single buying for the 30 series :(

Took me quite a while to get my hands on a 3080.

I bought from a (relatively) small German commerce site[1] rather than a bigger site like Amazon, OCUK, or Scan. I'm in EU though, probably doesn't help if you're US. I think I paid a €50 or so premium over the retail price but I didn't mind that too much.

I used this[2] site to keep an eye open for stock, as you can see it's pretty much empty now but I just checked every day and finally found one.
