Ouch. Is there a 3060 on the horizon?

There is but word on 'the street' is it'll be as powerful as a 1080Ti, however will only have 6GB of vRAM so borked for anything over 1080p tbh.

^^ This in a nutshell.

Agreed.
Too many suckers that think they owe OCUK their loyalty.

Not one 3070 under £500 on ocuk, don't matter, there will be ******* stock anyway thanks to NVIDIA cheaping out on a **** 8nm Samsung node.

What about the founders edition? I assume these will still be RRP but only direct from Nvidia?

lol as if NVIDIA will have stock.

The release date for 3070 was moved by 2-3 weeks to spoil the AMDs party, and to gather a more substantial stock inventory.

All of those failed 3080/90 dies will be 3070.

3070FE could launch with decent stock.

If that happens, AMD will be deep down stream without a paddle.

3070 is looking quite decent.

Pros

Effectively matches RTX 2080 Ti for less than half the price.
Upwards of 50% faster than the RTX 2070.
Current market leader in terms of cost per frame.
Improved overclocking compared to the RTX 3080.
More power efficient compared to the 20-series.
Founders Edition is beautiful and runs cool and quiet.

Cons

Some may be concerned about the 8GB framebuffer.
RDNA 2 is days away, so some may want to wait and see what AMD has to offer.

Edit: that was Kitguru's summary

This. They think Mr. Ferrari is their "mate", suckers. It's so tragic to see this level of sycophancy, what is wrong with people these days? a retailer who is gouging the **** off them time and time again is their friend now?

Unbelievable.

Reviews out now. GN, Jay and HU all have uploaded.

Looks good. FE 3070 for £469 is looking good.

New wave of 2080TI for sale on ebay atm.

New price/performance king.

Now stock....I think that will be much better. We might be suprised.

Get a clue, retailers are already reporting pathetic 3070 inventory and you think Nvidia are gonna have stock of the expensive to make 3070FE. Dream on.

robfosters · 27 Oct 2020 at 13:15

Don’t like that FE aluminium bit. It looks like a piece has dropped off.

Quickly skimming through the reviews & the charts. Seems to be a case of between the 2080 Super & 2080ti with it being closer to either depending on the game & resolution. To me that's alright, but not great. Excluding Turing architecturally we've seen the *70 series of cards match or just beat the previous high end ti sku, however that is still not the case. And it is still an expensive chip at similar to 2070 Super pricing.

Seeing as it's crippled in a number of titles at 4k with it's pathetic 8GB of vram, I don't think 2080ti owners are in a rush to sell, especially seeing Nvidia can't even supply the market. Anther fail launch on the way.

You can only blame yourselves for paying the high prices.

I get your point but how do you know if significant portions of the OCUK community are buying the cards at inflated prices? I have never bought a card above RRP for example. It’s a minority of proper enthusiasts that will buy them whatever the cost.

YEAP 2080 TI is dead. Same perf 53W less than 2080ti.

Tempted by the 3070, but will not pay over MSRP, don't like paying over the odds.
