隨著 NVIDIA RTX 3080 在昨晚正式解禁，世界各地的零售商鋪都開始供貨。在香港，深水埗、灣仔等地區的電腦商場，以至一些砌機網店都能輕易見到 RTX 3080 的產品上架。
國外的零售門市在解禁前已出現排隊購買 RTX 3080 的人龍。更新：GeForce RTX 3080の夜間販売に自作PCファン集結、120名以上の人で賑わう ドスパラにはキャンセルを求める行列も https://t.co/Nf6EVRsRRK #GeForce #RTX3080 pic.twitter.com/x8Qt7Sbo3N

國外的零售門市在解禁前已出現排隊購買 RTX 3080 的人龍。另一邊廂，NVIDIA 的網上商店亦正式發行 RTX 3080 Founders Edition，不幸的是網店的庫存一上架就馬上被清空，跟至有評論指能夠進入到網頁已經很好運。
其後有外國網友發現在 Ebay 上，已有一些人正在出售其利用「機械人」搶到的 RTX 3080 FE 顯示卡。而且這些「黃牛黨」亦將售價大幅炒賣，最高竟炒至 $50,000 元。
“This morning we saw unprecedented demand for the GeForce RTX 3080 at global retailers, including the NVIDIA online store. At 6 a.m. pacific we attempted to push the NVIDIA store live. Despite preparation, the NVIDIA store was inundated with traffic and encountered an error. We were able to resolve the issues and sales began registering normally.
To stop bots and scalpers on the NVIDIA store, we’re doing everything humanly possible, including manually reviewing orders, to get these cards in the hands of legitimate customers.
Over 50 major global retailers had inventory at 6 a.m. pacific. Our NVIDIA team and partners are shipping more RTX 3080 cards every day to retailers.
We apologize to our customers for this morning’s experience.”
其後 NVIDIA 發表聲明，確認全球 50 多間主要零售商均有庫存。而考慮到全球玩對此的大量需求，NVIDIA 現正在手動檢查露過 NVIDIA 官方商店購買訂單，以打擊黃牛的問題。
