~nevermind, already posted~

Another reason not to panic "buy" yesterday, did it stop people? nope.

The prices on FE cards never fluctuate, but the stock levels are very unpredictable and it can be several months between batches, if they bother to restock at all. If you're dead set on FE then all you can really do is sign up to be notified and see what happens.

Thanks for the reply.
If I get one at all, it'll be a 3070 FE.
Definitely not paying more than £469 and I think most of the AIB cards are tacky looking.

Latest video from GN on the matter.

There are cards on eBay with bids of over 20 grand! Surely they are fake bids from disgruntled people who missed out

You will never stop thousands of people scrambling around for a day 1 purchase. The only thing that may improve is bot detection.

I have a feeling the 3070 launch is going to be another feeding frenzy... but as we'll know about the launch time in advance it's probably going to be worth playing the refresh game at launch to see if you can get one. At least they should have *some* then! I think anyone wanting a 3080 FE that hasn't already bagged one is going to be in for a wait.

(I agree they are definitely the nicest looking cards, I really liked the FEs last gen too)

Guess I’ll try for a 3090 next week and cancel my 3080 order if I get one... now to decide which 3090 to try for.

when does the NDA lift for the reviews?

 

[southy1978]

So who bets no one will get a 3090 either

I'll take that bet, I've got £1399 says it'll be exactly the same!

 

[opethdisciple]

Well it's not a matter of 'if you must buy now' because stock is so low that we could be waiting for weeks, it's just a matter of getting an order in.

Yeah I know, any semblance of restraint and common sense has left consumerism for good.

some of them will be money launderers.

Given the price, I'm hoping it won't be the same situation

I bet the situation will be the same. I’m glad I kept my 2080Ti to get my by. Could be in shortage for months. Retailers should be limiting 1 card per household.

I do have an order for a 3080 placed at 14:10 yesterday from another retailer, but not yesterday’s stock most certainly.

Can’t justify the 3090 though far too expensive.

NVIDIA are geniuses. Tie everyone up with pre-orders despite not being able to meet supply.
Probably meet most demand a week before AMD’s RDNA2 announcement, so if we’re beat there, its not our problem as most of the chumps have the GPUs now.

If AMD have something, they should just tell us what they have on 8/10.

I read yesterday that people are doing it on purpose to get back at the scalpers.

Any hopes of aibs/water posting great OC's have been dashed - 2.3 Ghz on LN2 is very weak:

Basically I'd say for the highest end cards & if you win silicon lottery then 2 Ghz boost clock is best case scenario. Otherwise a good OC is 1.9, with the rest of the pack trailing somewhere between it and 1.8. At 4K with proper load etc.

Yea they should. I agree. They don't have to actually ship anything just like Nvidia.

Brilliant.

Yeah i love my FE 2070s so quiet and oc really well really rather wait for the 3080 FE to come into stock than a plastic 3rd party one!

Even this looks tacky compared to the FE

And its 200 quid more!
