Well they wont get away with it this time. the FE is £649. End of. no price creep. and for once its one of the best looking (and perfectly well cooling and functioning) cards there is. So why anyone would buy a price gouged AIB is beyond me.
I can't find anywhere that lists the time, only the date.
They did the last series.....................Loads of people ignored the FE and bought more expensive AIB boards which didnt give them any better performance. Why do you think the buying public are any difference this time? Already we have one board from Asus with a £180 premium on it and we havent even got to their super overclocked ROG custom boards yet. .

Because this is the first time people are (on the whole) loving the look of the FE. and the cooling system looks top drawer.
tbh I don't care what other people do. I know I can get a card for £650. so won't be mugged if OCUK gouge. it's their loss.
Soldato
Thats going to be a lot of F5
I guess some people don't mind paying a premium for a card they maybe prefer the look of or maybe they even have a favourite brand they'd rather go with. Personally I go with the one that gives me the best performance/extras for my money.
14:00

Sorry to ask Gibbo, but do you know when the cards will be landing at OCUK? Is there a date or simply when they are available?

It certainly looks good, but I'm not convinced it will be as good as AIB coolers. Especially with all those components so close together. It looks like a larger sapphire pulse vega 56 cooler, and that was on a budget line.
I'm also a little concerned that the FE cards as well as most of the AIB ones will end up being power limited by using only 2x8 pins. There seem to be very few like the strix offering the 3rd power socket.
Soldato
I'd imagine due to the quantity they will probably arrive this week or by mid next week?
Some are landing as soon as now, but there will be no pictures, no benchmarks and no early chances to order one, there is an NDA in place and OcUK shall be following it to the letter!

Aye, you've got vapour chambers. 3-4 slots.. fans being over 100mm and 6-8 heat pipes.
Finally warming up to Aorus one , but where oh where is the white HOF ? Remember they did that very limited twin 120mm version for Asia a while ago. Stunning for 1*** series

Awwww no pyramid pics
Gives away stock amount I guess haha .
Still don't think Samsung's 8nm gave much yield

Can you even make a pyramid with 2 boxes?
Awwww no pyramid pics
The last time NVIDIA said to me "Gibbo no pyramids" I went and built a castle.
They are now wiser to me finding loop holes in their instructions and have now clearly stated a blanket no photos of stock, unboxing etc. etc.
So you guys just gonna have to wait for reviews, but the old days, were damn good days and lots of fun.
