Just order everything. Probably make money selling on ebay.

Reviews out later today? I expect it's going to be a story of: Brilliant performance, but user experience tempered by high power and heat. Prices look reasonable, but only against the unreasonably high 2000 series. Nvidia power efficiency improvements aren't enough, anyone can get high performance for high power, progress needs to come from more efficient architecture and silicon, not better coolers!

AMD have a great chance here, not to match the 3090 (which is irrelevantly expensive for almost everyone), but to be competitive with the 3080 at something like 220-250W and slightly cheaper.

It looks like the AMD cards are going to be gas guzzlers as well. It's not unexpected that the three fan card revealed is 2x8 pin but what is surprising that the smaller two fan card is also 2x8 pin.

There are many decent branded 850W PSUs around for £110.

I think the point stands,. Somebody is about to spend between £650 and £800 on a gpu to go with a system which probably already costs several hundred pounds but is trying to skimp on a cheap underpowered PSU.

If it works, it’s not an underpowered PSU.

I’m happy to try. Bit annoying when your already very expensive GPU is suddenly £100 more expensive. I may as well get a 3080 but then I’m spending £750/800 when I really wanted to pay £500 or less.
