I feel sorry for those who sold their 2080Ti`s expecting to pick up a RTX 3080 but may have to wait it out now.

So few in stock will mean QA goes out of the window. Brace yourselves for another space invader debacle

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

https://videocardz.com/newz/teclab-...80-sg-to-2340-mhz-and-breaks-the-world-record

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.

OC3D did a review where most of the cards boosted to around 2-2050MHz and settling around 1950mhz after temps settled. The FE was around 1820mhz.

Spoiler: 9:10

Ps5 is running much higher for example at 2.23ghz with rdna2. This is something every chip will have to be capable of, so AMD could be onto a winner with big navi.

Blame the @easyrider shuffle, all his original idea apparently

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)

Yeah, I'm not expecting to actually be able to buy one on launch day. So I probably won't even try. Will wait till things have settled down a bit. May even wait for a ti version with more vram.

Been on phone now to ocuk waiting for them to pick up 1 hour 5 mins. Pathetic.

This is exactly what I'm hoping for in all honesty. While the 3080 looks incredible, AMD 6000 is so close I'd want to see both before I buy.

I'm not sure the OcUK site accessibility was entirely due to people trying to get 3080s - there was a DDOS attack against some social media servers (which also took out some other sites) ongoing at the same time which I wonder if their servers were close to.

Not sure if it was related to the tiktok acquisition or something.

No, it was everyone on multiple sites hitting refresh!

DDOS caused by prospective buyers...

It's all hands on deck trying to work out who has ordered what and how on earth they will fill the demand. Oh and counting the money and orders still roll in with nothing to sell.

Afraid you are right.

I wonder if the ASUS TUF 3080 i've bought and paid for is anything more than a blob of freshly founded silicon on a vietnamese workbench at this point.

Gigabyte let slip the 3080 20GB versions will be available

https://hexus.net/tech/news/graphics/145597-gigabyte-confirms-geforce-rtx-3080-20gb-graphics-cards/

The sites'll crash again from the cancellations for the poormans space invader version

Unreal isnt it. I mean he's also admitting buying multiple units when people should only be able to buy one per person to begin with!

Look they only have so many customer service people and if some of the numbers of orders places on some cards are correct they probably took over 20,000 orders yesterday and 18,000 of those people are all trying to ring them today to find out when they might get their card, or the refund for price change etc.

I know its not ideal but honestly 1 hour 5 mins is probably nothing under the circumstances.

 

[Jae-So]

I have one with an accepted order so hopefully they confirm the shipment date soon.
unfortunately not through OCUK. Couldn't get on here at all.

Today is a good day

The cooler is excellent, out of the box the card is sitting at 1950Mhz, 72C and completely inaudible in my case. I've never had a silent graphics card before! https://youtu.be/gVhfKAKni8A

As there's plenty of volume headroom I'll have a play with overclocking it. For today though it's time to try some raytraced games for the first time

Scum. He didnt realise that he didnt want 5 cards anymore and is just keeping 2. Yeah, by using the money the 5 cards sell for to pay for his whole pc.
