Do you feel better now you've told everyone that?
It was in reply to what Satirical said about the chinese site scoring a 8500 on Timespy Extreme

It's just funny because TImespy and Timespy Extreme have completely different scores and don't compare, so it looks like you just wanted to show off your specs :)
Not what the person a few posts above was really asking for, but here's a US-centric rundown of stores and what they have, for those tempted to go that route:

To those who are thinking of ordering RTX in the US – are you sure it wouldn't be stopped at customs and you wouldn't be required to pay GST + whatever custom duties are?

It probably will be

Admittedly the cards I've bought have been under $1k but got a Vega 56 last year and a GTX 1650 this year through Amazon AU supplied by Amazon US with no issues. And I know it's no RTX but I was stoked to pick up a 1650 Super over the weekend for ~ $200, $50 cheaper than my standard 1650 (only option in a low profile unfortunately but at least it's the GDDR6 version!)
Edit: All this talk of $1k+ graphics cards and here I am hoping for a smaller, more efficient card that'll fit a SFF and/or run off a single 6-8 pin, prices for used 9xx series are crazy, not to mention used 780Ti/1050Ti/1060 being close to or more than a new card!

I'm planning on importing via shopmate, so it will 100% have all gst and customs paid on it. Still works out cheaper

Even after the changes, customs on the local side does not enforce GST/Duty on items under $1000, there is no change to their behaviour.
Either the store collects it at the time of puchase, or it goes through GST free.
The 3080 at $699 USD should just scrape through if you buy it from a place that doesn't collect GST and you aren't using a forwarder somehow.

GST is collected on all purchases now. Not just $1000 and above. This threshold was changed years ago.
Jay's two Cents has posted a vid about if you SHOULD sell your previous card or hang onto them.

Glad I'm hanging onto my second card.
Also while were at it. It looks like as most people feared that stocks ARE that low and some AIB's won't be available at launch but some time later. Even so this means that even if we don't win the 3080 Lottery on Thursday night that the cards will eventually get here hopefully sooner rather than later.
So now even though I'll be trying on the night, I'm not / won't be fussed if I do miss out as I've still got my 2080Ti in my games machine and not an expensive paperweight with NO card in it on the desk...

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ethereum Crypto Mining Performance Leaks Out, Up To 93 MH/s When Overclocked
...
Currently, the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT outputs around 50-54 MH/s while the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti delivers up to 54 MH/s.
P.S. Yes, Virginia, there are scalpers in the US on eBay selling Asus TUF RTX 3080 pre-orders for the equivalent of $1700 AUD.
Because... Capitalism.
I went into this thinking we'd be OK to test most of the highest-end graphics cards in Flight Simulator at 8K, but in the end we needed at least 16GB of VRAM. This eliminates virtually every graphics card on the market bar a few: so we have two, the NVIDIA TITAN RTX and Radeon VII.
...
I kept the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti in and did try to lower the details to "Low" but we're only getting 2-3FPS, it's literally unplayable with anything less than 16GB of VRAM, minimum.
...
It is virtually photorealistic.
It's all thanks to Adaptive Streaming technology: Microsoft and Asobo put in an incredible effort into the technologies that make Flight Simulator, but if you want the very best out of it you'll need a 50Mbps internet connection. The game will render parts of itself in the cloud, and then blast them down to you in real-time. The better the internet connection, the better quality the graphics are.

Sorry if already posted — pics of the actual 3090 and 3080 reference PCBs are out. Should be fairly easy to tell what cards use these or modify these PCBs a bit once the coolers come off.
GST is collected on all purchases now.
I imported a new audio processor from Emotiva a few months ago, paid no extra charges. But someone in Adelaide did I was talking to via Emotiva forums at the time, it's hit and miss
Glad I'm hanging onto my second card.
Ditto, not selling my 1080TI, will replace the 1070 in my HTPC, the 1070 will be sold though, probably cheap too since it only works in 8 lane slot for some reason, but even that is no big deal anyway

Good question mate! I'm in Houston now and thinking of getting one from Newegg but problem is with Newegg they have so many different sellers on that website and the parts could come from anywhere really. Depending on the origin, wonder if that may affect things from a tax standpoint? Maybe Amazon would be a better bet but wanna avoid giving more money to bezos lol.
