I was speaking to PC Specialist help desk, and they said you can ask to put your order on hold and add the GPU when its released if the build date comes to soon.

Yep. Already sent them an email to delay

Is that actually amazon direct or a marketplace seller? It’s not possible to preorder these cards from anywhere in the world, if they are then they’re doing it illegally.
It's from Amazon direct. They accidentally listed various cards. If you look on Reddit, the Nvidia subreddit to be exact, many different suppliers put up their cards on different Amazons, including US, Germany and italy.

Yeah, they will be cancelled as it’s against the law to keep them open.
They have not cancelled mine yet and it has been 2 days. On the one hand, if the order stays then I could possibly miss the release day rush. However, I could also find myself without a card if they cancel it after the release date. It's a gamble!

Ok, I’m sure he’s released this earlier than he was supposed to, but here’s Jay with an actual 3080... haven’t watched it yet, wanted to link it ASAP!
Isn't it a beaut. Excited for reviews on Monday
These Founders Edition cards are the nicest look

Another from Linus, so they’re allowed to show you the card, but not allowed to install it or show it powered on or any benchmarks yet:

That confirms it for me, I won’t be using the included 12 pin adapter, I’ll get a proper lead for the PSU.

It’s all tooo much, too much incredible tech being released... I can’t take it! I’m going to implode with tickly feelings 
I have a strong suspicion that additional cables will be available for purchase for modular PSUs that will allow connection at the actual source via the 8-pin plugs. That way it'll be 2 into 1 with a neat solution from the PSU out to the GPU.
I certainly don't fancy forking out for a new PSU
Just searched...... apparently I can't patent the idea haha

Yeah, EVGA are already supplying them for any of their modular PSU’s, you just message them and they’ll send you one.I have a strong suspicion that additional cables will be available for purchase for modular PSUs that will allow connection at the actual source via the 8-pin plugs.

Corsair have also confirmed they’re working on one which will cover most of the guys on here (unless you’ve got a VS or CS series PSU)

edit: you already found it!
Further edit: this does also confirm that the 3070 is also using the 12 pin connector.
