Nvidia released the RTX 3080 Ti on June 3, and the RTX 3070 Ti one week later, on June 10. Nvidia officially announced new RTX 3080, RTX 3070, RTX 3060 Ti Limited Hash Rate (LHR) SKUs on May 18, 2021, which limits the Ethash mining hash rate. In April, Hong Kong Customs and Excise seized 300 non-video CMP cards. In March, TechRadar reported that the shortages could continue until the third quarter of the year, in part blaming a global GDDR6 memory shortage and the cards' supply being bought out by cryptominers.

Shortly after release, NVIDIA accidentally released a driver update which disabled the detection. In an effort to limit purchases by cryptominers, Nvidia announced in February that the RTX 3060 cards would be able to detect algorithms for mining of the Ethereum cryptocurrency and halve the hash rate.
#RTX 3080 INSTOCK SERIES#
Shortages of RTX 30 series cards continued into 2021, and has been ongoing ever since its release. In early December, Nvidia blamed continued component shortages on Samsung wafer shortages, resulting in chip shortages, among other factors. On October 9, the company announced that all Founder's Edition graphic cards in the United States would temporarily be sold via Best Buy, while the official web store would be upgraded to improve the shopping experience. On October 5, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced delays due to supply shortages, which were expected to go on until 2021. On October 2, Nvidia announced that it would delay the release of RTX 3070 cards by two weeks to guarantee availability. Nvidia released a statement the following day, apologizing for the difficulties with their online store, which went down on launch day due to high traffic. Twitter users reported that they used bots to buy large numbers of cards to resell for higher prices. Long lines formed outside physical stores with stock, such as Micro Center in the United States, and Dospara in Japan.
Newegg had completely sold out as expected on Black Friday. The lack of pre-order functionality and high demand exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, and boost in scalping, resulted in a large number of online retailers struggling with the sheer number of purchases. Launch day for the RTX 3080 was September 17, 2020.

The initial launch, consisting of the RTX 3070, RTX 3080, and RTX 3090, occurred during the ongoing 2020–present global chip shortage, resulting in widespread and notable shortages of the series as a whole that lasted from the series' launch until 2022. The GeForce 30 series began shipping on September 17, 2020.
#RTX 3080 INSTOCK DRIVERS#
This is the last generation from NVIDIA to have official support for Windows 7 and 8.x as the latest drivers available for this generation require Windows 10. The lineup, designed to compete with AMD's Radeon RX 6000 series of cards, consist of the entry-level and previously laptop-exclusive RTX 3050 and laptop-exclusive RTX 3050 Ti, mid-range RTX 3060, upper-midrange RTX 3060 Ti, high-end RTX 3070, RTX 3070 Ti, RTX 3080 10 GB, RTX 3080 12 GB and enthusiast RTX 3080 Ti, RTX 3090, and RTX 3090 Ti. Through Nvidia RTX, hardware-enabled ray tracing is possible on GeForce 30 series cards. The GeForce 30 series is based on the Ampere architecture, which feature Nvidia's second-generation ray tracing (RT) cores and third generation Tensor Cores. The GeForce 30 series is a suite of graphics processing units (GPUs) designed and marketed by Nvidia, succeeding the GeForce 20 series.
