Not ebay scalper, but still way too punchy a price for the card when the FE is @ £1100. However, at least you can buy it, unlike anything else in the graphics card market

Yep, 2080Ti was 15-20% faster. 3080Ti is 5-8% faster.
Even if you could buy for MSRP £1049 is still a disgusting price. £849 would have been reasonable, and even then not a great deal.
At least with the 3090 you get 24GB of memory and a much better cooler

My 3090 Asus Rog Strix OC was less than that.

Linus seems quite chipper about it in his review. But he seems to be concentrating on the Ti compared to the 3090, but completely forgetting about the price to performance difference over the 3080.
that’s shoddy reviewing imo.

I see reviewers(der8auer and nexus) are getting a signal problem with the card.
That's what I paid for my 3090 Strix (1700 pounds) on its launch day

I guess the ti stands for "total insanity" in this release.

The T in Ti now stands for Turd 
The 2080ti was around 30% faster than the vanilla 2080 if I remember correctly.

Is there any worry with some of the temps that are reported with the FE versions? They seem to run towards the upper limits.
gonna need some real good case airflow otherwise them ddr6x temps are gonna go critical.

It seems kind of ridiculous that they wouldn't provide adequate cooling on their own high end cards.
They design and build a costly cooler then use bubblegum for thermal pads.
An old TPU review shows 18% for 1440p and 22% for 4K for the vanilla cards, the OEM cards were adding another 5%+ though, so yeah 30% was probably possible in some games.
Looks like the cheapest card is going to be Zotac who also have the longest guarantee at 5 years.
I am going to wait - to me this looks like a very expensive set of cards that will probably end up cooking themselves. Who wants to pay over 1K for a card that is likely to die early after the guarantee runs out - some of them are only covered for 2 years.

Wish they'd released the 3070ti first which is the one I want as it seems a little more reasonable price wise.
