When are the RTX 3090 reviews out

Order placed 14:19:00 for Asus 3090 Strix OC

Didn't like the look of any of the 3090's Gibbo mentioned were in stock, plus they only have 2x8pin, which would limit clocks.

Something nice to look forward to arriving in the weeks to come

Was tempted to order the 3080 strix, but something in my mind just wasn't comfortable with a 10GB graphics card in 2020, especially since I'm gaming at 4k, and using a Valve Index VR headset. Plus the pre-order queue for the 3080 strix most likely thousands long at this point!

Every frame matters in VR, and at 4k, so will also appreciate the 10-15% performance boost over a 3080!

Well, I watched the NV website and never saw the 3090 go to a status allowing purchases

Will Seasonic TX-750W PLUS TITANIUM PRIME will be fine with Eagle oc gigabyte 3090?

Looks like these are in the 380-400W range, so you're going to want more than that.

So it's about 16% better than the RTX 3080 in gaming for about 115% more money.

Tech Jesus is not impressed, to say the least.

Wow, what a lemon for gaming this card is. Great and honest review, so glad I managed some self restraint (helped by bots snapping everything up).

As he said at the end this is AMD’s golden opportunity, don’t screw it up.

Sorry I am out of the loop, what is happening at 5am tomorrow?

This morning at around 5am the 3080 FE cards on the NV site changed from "Out of Stock" to "Add to Cart" for about half an hour and some forum members on here managed to order a card. So I was saying I'm not getting up early tomorrow to see if the same thing happens again.

Snap! My order is showing as having gone through at 14:18, so let’s see whose ships first...

Think I may get a EVGA NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 10GB FTW3 now that the 3090 is not at all good,

Reviews don't make it feel worth the money i may just cancel my strix card

Nah keep it open,

That way there will be more 3080's available.

Nope....was waiting till today to buy a 3090.....decided on the 3080 and placed the order in the que......paying an extra £1000 for 6-10 extra frames in a game makes no sense.

Not even that. Pitting a fancy Strix OC model against the 3080 FE that's power limited to hell isn't really fair. Comparing the two FEs, the 3090 is only 11% faster at 4K according to Hardware Unboxed's 14-game average. The high end 3080 custom cards will close the gap back up to the Strix... whenever they arrive.

varkanoid · 24 Sep 2020 at 15:36

So I take it there was no 3090 stock available to buy today just pre-order ?

Watching that now - love the 'back hander' pointing at Linus and MKBHD sponsored 8k Gaming 3090 adverts

Heh back-hander, more like a fore-hand. Brilliant review by Steve, what was Linus playing at...

Probably gets to keep the $30k TV

Gamers Nexus did not hold back in their review. The card is obviously a Titan, a workstation card for the consumer, it's not a Ti, it's barely better than an OC'd 3080. I'm not opposed to spending money on cards, I bought two 2080Ti's, but I could not justify spending £1500 for sub 10% gains at 4k. I'm going to let AMD's launch play out, see if they can shake up the market, but if not I'll wait for the 3080Ti.

They had a few 3090 cards in stock.

We have a small amount on Zotac and Palit.
We have a very small amount on Asus TUF, Gigabyte Eagle & Gaming, MSI Ventus and PNY.

I think you'll be waiting a very long time. If the 3090 is only 11% faster than a 3080, where does a 3080 Ti sit? 7% faster for £1000+? We know at this point that Nvidia is launching a 20GB 3080 soon too, so the potential VRAM argument is out the window. No doubt the 20GB 3080 will also be pushing £1000 itself, leaving even less room for a 3080 Ti even price-wise.
