I just actually thought of this the past few days, wether to cancel my 3080 Strix order and wait for this one instead?... Keeping in mind that it was only rumors. However, seems like it's more or less confirmed now then
I thought about it to but the price difference won't make much sense in Canada at least.

How/what do you mean exactly?... Considering haven’t seen nor heard anything regarding pricing.

999.99 in the currency of your choosing, add on the AIB tax 1199.99 
999.99 in the currency of your choosing, add on the AIB tax 1199.99
Then add on the ROG tax, $1399

Well to be fair, pricing aside, I personally think that ASUS and their ROG/STRIX cards in general, especially these new designs, really look solid and well built.
I think you seem to be getting what you pay for in terms of this generation.
Do keep in mind that I haven't had this new design yet though, only going off pictures and videos of it. But seems really well built etc and a GPU is something that you purchase and then keep for a number of years.
So in my eyes, this isn't something that is a major big deal. Sure, it's a tough pill to swallow at the time of purchase, but I do really think you'll gain and win on it long term

Slightly irrelevant until people and not scalpers can get their hands on them, OCUK and Scan are extremely back logged on pre-orders and then there are the people who have just given up and kept their money.

If there is no stock for none Ti cards, how does adding Ti's to the list of SKU's help? I don't think the PC Master Race doubled or tripled in size with the release of 3000 and 6000 series cards.
AMD, Nvidia, and third parties have to get a grip on their supply/retail chains. I'd like to see production numbers from all these folk compared against sales by legitimate retailers to legitimate customers.
I want to be reassured something massively hokey isn't going on.

The problem is, if you don't release the card, even with limited stock, you run a huge risk later on of architectures overlapping too much and the competition stealing your thunder. I'm sure there are other legitimate reasons too for paper-launching a 3080Ti ASAP. And who knows, maybe by the time a 3080Ti actually hits shelves, stock will be reasonable.

These are not the cards people should be buying either tbh. It just sends out the wrong message to Nvidia and pals.
AMD are proper taking the pee with their £999 card, and that will just enable Nvidia to charge £1200 for this one. Why not? it will be faster, have more VRAM and all of the features that are so important mainly to Nvidia.
So to answer the question.. No. I would not cancel a 3080 and order this. Not at all. The 3080 would be about the maximum I would spend any way. Extra VRAM will make no difference unless you need it, and those extra CUDA cores are predictably going to make no difference either, given they barely do on the 3090. Which is already massively over priced.
I had an issue with 8gb because quite frankly it is not enough for a card of he 3070's calibre. I mean the 3070 has enough chops to be a 4k card and the only thing limiting that is the VRAM. And it does, whether people like that or not. The 3080 however seems to have no such issues with 4k, so spending anything more than that right now is daft, given the hike in price for 10% more performance, and probably less out of the 3080Ti.
What concerns me now, however, is the growing popularity of PC gaming, the fact it has totally become a bragging right article (with prices to match) and what Nvidia will be charging for their next little outing to TSMC. Because if you think these cheap Samsung prices are bad then you had better sit down for the next TSMC release.
Normally to any sane individual (I don't count in that equation) I would suggest no more than a 70 series card. However, given Nvidia have derped theirs this time around (for good reason, no one would buy the 80 series otherwise) then I would go as far as to recommend a 80, if you are gaming at 4k. For anything else the wise choice is a 70, priced as closely to "RRP" as possible, without buying a pile of plastic crap.
