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

I haven't looked closely.. probably someone can comment if it is long enough to be taken behind the case.. also psu manufacturers may be providing cables that converge at source

Not liking the 2 pronged power connection on that founders Edition.

All the main PSU manufacturers look to be making 12 pin cables for their modular products, which splits at the PSU end into 2 PCI-E connectors, much tidier. So I’m not overly concerned by it

That's right, I have no doubts about it and my Super Flower Titanium 1000W shares the same connectors with the EVGA G2/P2 models.

That 12 pin adapter wouldn't have looked so bad if they made it about 3 tines longer so that you could have hidden those fat connectors.

 

[ThundyCat]

It just looked weird, maybe my OCD is kicking in with cable management.

 

[Digital X]

I just think it's a weird placement all together. Nearer the end or on the side I would have gone with if possible.

Think the issue is the PCB ends where the connector is - the exhaust fan is just heatpipes/fan.

They'd have to do some weird power cable extension running along the shroud and then fixing it at the end, which tbh would end up being weak/flimsy I expect. And the removal of the cooler to fit a waterblock even more difficult than it already appears to be.

So it's Catch 22. Yes it looks gash, but not sure how else they could do it lol. Ideally they should've just left it horizontal rather than 90 degree turning it imo.

 

[Digital X]

Fair point. Sure the new fans will be good so I will let them off lol.

another day,
another price increase
as i sad by 17th all prices will be above 700 due to resellers greed

Ah dear.... If there isn't a good card below or at £700, I'm going FE, or waiting for Big Navi. I think they are just simply gauging demand (see it's huge), and therefore upping prices.

Basic economics I am afraid.

Yep, get us all excited to gauge the market and bam.

We should have stayed quiet

Shameless some of these companies. Let’s see if Zotac will end up increasing prices. I think I will probably just go FE in the end. I am not paying more than £649. Taking the piscuit.

Same here.

I'm already half way to resigning myself to awaiting the next generation in a couple of years.

Meh, I've got a ton load of games that play great at my rez, I can wait.

If it was not for Cyberpunk and a few other new games I really want to play I would probably look to pick up a cheap 2070S. But I ideally also want HDMI 2.1 so I can make full use of my LG G-Sync OLED when I want to.


Hey @JediFragger I updated my sig

Me either, it's ugly as sin, but I'll probably get one and put up with it if the AIB prices keep creeping up.

I was going to get the Xbox Series X (long-time console gamer), but I am sick of 30fps stutter shows, so thought why not give pc gaming a go. Maybe not the best time to switch... Here's to sub-£700 AIB 3080 cards!

I’ve got no nope of the Aorus master staying at £749. If it does increase more than I’ll be going for the FE

 

[Nablaoperator]

Yes since now everyone's going for the FE, I thought it might be a good time to work out contingencies

 

[Nablaoperator]

Hope most of you know that review embargo's been pushed to 16th but the launch date's unchanged (it's the next day).. doesnt it smell fishy?
