I almost guarantee to be dissapointed today and be stuck without a decent card but I'll have a go at getting a Founders

Omg when will people realise... The founders card IS the decent card this time!!

It's cheaper
It has great cooling
Its quiet
Is has the best binned chips
It has the best quality components on the PCB
It looks the best.

You would be foolish to buy any of these early AIB cards.

I hope nvidia would manage the online launch responsibly..
else there'd be many over-enthusiastic enthusiasts who would flood physical outlets as if they are distributing the cure for coronavirus..
something that I hope any responsible corporate entity would like to avoid as well

What shops have 3080s or any power house gpu for sale really...none that I can actively think of.

Most people will just wait, I doubt nvidia cares about that unless amd come out strong but they have at least a month to sort out supply issues.

Exactly. I wonder how many enthusiasts are waiting in PC World today for the 3080 launch.

Does the RTX 3080 founders edition have fan stop at idle?

The 3080 and 2080 TI and not like for like, how can people not get this yet? The 3080 and the 2080 are like for like, as advertised throughout the Ampere launch.

PS get well soon!

Imagine comparing 2080 to 1080Ti on launch

No one knows, until that button changes from notify your guess is as good as good as mine, could still be a pre order or very limited from their own store.

Harlequin · 17 Sep 2020 at 07:54

@Gibbo - how is stock levels?

Not sure yet, could be pre order only and shipping within 3-5 days.

Yup. I said about 500 pages ago that I was a realist. I'm still a realist. For me? the only path is the 3090 and besides another financial miracle? it ain't happening. Nor do I want it to. You wanna see the hifi gear I can get for that much money !

There was a very good reason why I chose to stick to 1440p and buy a better monitor than I had. I had a 70hz HP thing I'd had for 5 years. I replaced with a 144hz curved (same size, 32") with HDR. So literally every spec was an upgrade and I knew I would get at least 3 years out of the 2080Ti. Even better it wasn't even my money, so I wasted as much as I could

And there remains the question for me. How good is the 3090 going to be? at 390w dear lord it better part the red sea. However 300 pages ago I showed what my 2080ti was capable of in COD MW. And it was more than enough for me then and remains so. I'm so glad I bought another one now.

God that was a wall of txt with nothing really inside it . Well done , enjoy the 2080 ti mate. I am going to enjoy my 3080.

I wonder if the AIB partners will use the same pennant shape PCB as the Founders Edition? will be interesting to see the design of the water blocks to fit this shape.
