NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

Exactly my thinking. I was looking at 3080 but might go for 3070 FE. I'm gaming at 1440p 120hz so 3070 might do me well or even try and get second hand 2080ti

Cool, glad it's not just me. 3070 could be a good shout, yeah. A bit better, new warranty.

At the end of the day, benchmarks notwithstanding, £649 for something that beats a 2080Ti in rasterisation by 20% is still absolutely outstanding and will get my money.

very tempted to get a 2080ti for 400 quid if i can't get a FE for 650 lol.

I'm not sure I would call a 20% improvement almost 2 years later "absolutely outstanding". The price looks good simply because turding was massively inflated.

I'm thinking I'll skip these now.

Will wait and see if there's a 3070 ti with more vram

Is there a way to create a shop account on nVidia's website without checking out?

I want to be ready for a quick checkout at 1400 tomorrow.

 

[BriT]

Yeah can register when you buy, I did a quick test lol

An hour later, EVGA product listing has now been corrected as the XC3 Black model and gone up in price (obviously) from £649 -> £659 -> £689 now

Although looks like Gigabyte/OcUK have actually lowered the GB Eagle model back down to £649 - for now...

Lol these AIB cards rocketing up in price... Such bad price gouging, not even gone on sale yet.

I'm not paying anything more than £649 for the FE! Tbh I'd prob go £10-20 max more for a decent partner card and that's my limit.

Wouldn't be surprised if by 2pm tomorrow we're staring at 3090 prices...

Zotac up £10 (now £659)
Asus TUF up £50 (now £699)
Aorus Master up £50? (now £799)
Aorus Extreme now £830
MSI Gaming X Trio now £830 (think gone up £50 again?)
Palit models now £720+ which is laughable

What you are seeing is why I stopped buying from here several years ago. I will wait for Amd cards.

 

[Rezident]

Excited for the reviews now. The sun in shining, working from home, can't wait!

 

[GIGA-Man]

Thanks for the reply, I will rma it in that case. I have read a few reports of this exact issue with the fans ramping up to 4000 rpm when the card hits 82 degrees so it may well be more than a termal paste issue causing the issue. I will drop you an email today. Thanks again

I got your e-mail and replied, need your serial number and exact model name to process it for you.

very true im a little baffled by the "exhaust fan" on the FE though blowing hot air into the case might need to rework some stuff in the case make sure i can get rid of that hot air quickly

Every AIB card except the MSI does exactly the same though

Yeah just noticed ive only been looking at the msi card to be honest but since its at well over 800quid looking at others now.

You gunna try FE now?

What did you do? It's making me put payment details in on the same page.

Did you just fill out the address bits but not the payment bit?

And what happens if it doesnt?

 

[random_matt]

Paypal will be the quickest method if anyone is wondering, make sure you are already logged it beforehand.

 

[deuse]

Glad I'm buying from NV

And what happens if it doesnt?

Dunno, guess it won't and I'll wait for the 6900XT.

I'm more worried about my PSU at the moment though. I have a Corsair HX520W, with the following specs:

Should be OK with a 3080 and a quad core CPU right? The current delivery on the 12V rail is excellent for a 520W PSU.
