Good thing amazon or newegg + freight forwarder still works. nvidia need to get their roi on r&d before amd's 7nm comes, so reason these gpus are so much expensive, nvidia want fast money so they can use it on 7nm r&d, with the gtx 1xxx series nvidia had 3 years to get their r&d back, with their rtx 2xxx, nvidia have a maximum of 12 months to get their r&d roi back, drastic times requires drastic measures hehe lol, even nvidia get a shorter roi time, with these prices, they are targeting 12 months, crypto miners roi target right now for most is 5 years hehe

If rumours are to be believed, AMD would reveal/release their 7nm lineup before the end of the year.
Could this be the first time in years that Team Red takes over the top spot in terms of raw GPU power?
One thing's for sure: no 20xx GPUs for me.

No need for some unsafe and unknown middleman : usgobuy.com They will generate a pseudo address to their shipping location in the US and you select the shipping service you want. They will ship it back to you If rumours are to be believed, AMD would reveal/release their 7nm lineup before the end of the year.

Indeed, even if AMD do not released their new lineup this year, the pricing of the 20xx series is just out of wack even for a gamer perspective.

If you're using a reshipping service like UsGoBuy or Reship.com, etc, be prepared to go through identification if needed and you'll be fine. Reshippers usually do this for higher-value orders from bigger retailers to prevent reshipping fraud, and it can be a bit of a hassle if you're not prepared for it.
As for what's cheapest and works best, I have found MyUS and Shipito have been the best. Still costs a bit to ship to a few countries, but you'll generally still save over buying in your own country if you happen to have inflated prices.

"NVLink is also available on gaming GPUs - specifically on the GeForce RTX 2080 and GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. Connecting two cards with NVLink requires a special NVLink connector, which is sold separately." "Traditionally when rendering on multiple graphics cards, V-Ray GPU duplicates the data in the memory of each GPU, but with NVLink the VRAM can be pooled. For example, if we have two GPUs with 11GB of VRAM each and connected with NVLink, V-Ray GPU can use that to render scenes that take up to 22 GB. This is completely transparent to the user — V-Ray GPU automatically detects and uses NVLink when available." https://www.chaosgroup.com/blog/what-does-the-new-nvidia-rtx-hardware-mean-for-ray-tracing-gpu-rendering-v-ray.
