** NVIDIA RTX 30 SERIES NOW ONLINE AT OVERCLOCKERS UK (3090 / 3080 / 3070) **

Only thing that put my massively off the FE is that power connector placement. I mean WTF.

I've talked myself out of FE cards because of that awful connector positioning and ugly adaptor. There is no clean way that will satisfy my ocd for wiring that thing up!

I think that’s why I’m so torn between the FE and Aorus. I have a vertical mount and recently had new PSU cables, so having the FE I feel will hinder both of those things

Founders edition looks like its gonna be crap in vertical positioning in my view, hard to see without testing and every case is different but I don't see how you're not going to drive a heap of hot turbulent air into the middle of your case slowing down flow from the front intake on its way up to the top and rear exhausts.... I'm not sold it works that way at all

It went up sometime yesterday as I recall.

My NVME drive sat behind the graphics card is praying.

I meant the way the card pushes most of the hot air out of it and infront of the cpu cooler (this is a problem if you have a cpu tower cooler) which I will.

I know that gpus push the air upwards in that direction but with the FE it will be pushing most of the heat out of one spot and that spot being right infront of a tower cooler rather than distributed over more space and fans.

Of course if your cpu is water cooled then there is no issue



I don't hate it (read above your quote here). As I said it's just the reason why I would not buy it for me personally. I could be very wrong.

You see I dont see why it wont be an even bigger issue with the AIb cards then? All but one of them has great big holes through the backplate so the third fan will be pushing the air to your cpu cooler even more than the FE card. Even worse the front fan will be doing the same and all of the heat from these very very hot cards is going to pushed inside your case towards the cpu.

AT least with the FE, half of the heat is pushed out of your case.

So I can see it being even more of an issue for AIB buyers than FE buyers tbh

This time around? That was the case last time around and the time after that

I knew it was last time, I just thought the time before they got into retailers too. You sure? Meh my bad then...

No, Board manufacturers used to see FE cards as well. I can remember Asus putting £50 on the price just for the Asus name.

Can see 17th not going smoothly hehe so basically try and grab a FE... damn out of stock. go onto overclockers all gone. scramble elsewhere miss out.

Surprised people are that desperate they can't wait another month to see how AMD scared Nvidia so bad. These launch prices most certainly weren't from their own good grace.

Be sensible, if AMD really do rock the boat you'll soon see a 3070ti/3080ti hit the shelf, and it'll make you instantly regret being a day one buyer.

I don't remember any FE cards on launch being available to anyone but nvidia. Later maybe, but not on launch.

AMD? nah thanks.

The 1080 series did. I have an MSI branded 1080FE.

On launch? Interesting. Thanks did not know.

Checked my email order confirmation, which was 2nd June. Google suggests launch was May 27th, so certainly for launch week.

Seems you was right, my bad in the end

Apologies in advance if this has already been asked.

@Gibbo is there any news on evga 3080/3090 ftw3 versions being a available at launch ?

The way EVGA treats the UK nowadays I doubt it. So sad to see.

My EVGA 1080 FE card was delivered on the 28th May so I can confirm they were definitely released the same day in the channel as direct from Nvidia.
