Hi, I wondered if anyone here had any experience with Inno 3D cards? I'm thinking of pre ordering one for a few diff reasons,

1.I was one of those idiots who panic sold their 2080 super cards for half price on an auction site thinking I would get a 3080 on release...and no back up GPU...
2.I got a feeling because it doesn't seem to be popular brand here [or maybe it is] it may be quicker to get one on pre order...[I know it will probably be weeks]
3.Seems A reasonable price compared to some of the others...
4.The RGB is addressable and I have A complete Aorus set up from case to CPU water cooler ect so think it would fit in well...[I know the RGB isn't everyones thing :) ]

I just wondered about things like,

1.Build quality? Are they reliable?
2.What is their RMA is like...[I know first 12 months is through Overclockers]
3.I know this is a new series of cards but have they been any good for temps?, overclocking in previous generations?

I've tried to see some reviews on youtube for this card but as its so new there isn't a lot out there and what is,is mainly not in english.
Thanks for any info.
 
I've got an Inno3D X2 on order. The estimated date for all Inno3D cards at 2pm on launch was 31st October. I picked it because it was one of the only RRP prices (£650) and was confirmed physically to work with the waterblock I've ordered.
They're a very popular brand in the east, not so much in the west.
I'm hoping as OCUK seem to be the only seller there will be more to go around, but it just depends on if they actually send any over to Europe and the US.
 
Inno3d have been hit or miss in the past some amazing card with good cooling. The ichill range are allways there batter ones.

as for rma etc most are pretty similar and within the 1st year it’s normally overclockers responsibility for rma after first year it’s direct to inno3d. So I would say most cards are pretty similar first year and after that rma allways a lot more complex and longer to sort
 
I have an Inno3D GTX1080 X2 which has been rock solid for the 4 years I've had it. Can't really comment on the cooling as it's been under water for most of that.
 
Thanks fellas....sounds like they are quite durable then...not planning to put under water myself as i have no experience of doing it....yet :)

Intresting that ETA was 31st of October on release day, it could be a much longer wait than I thought then... I wanted an Aorus card to start with, but can't really stomach the much higher price and probably and even longer wait on those cards.

Cheers for the replys....think i'll wait a bit longer before I order then, simply for the stock reasons.
 
I'm still rocking my "GeForce GTX 970 iChill Herculez X4 Air Boss Ultra" which has been going solid for 5 years without an issue. I was strongly considering getting one of the Inno3D 3080s but decided to go for one that'd be available sooner... Oh well.

I think most of the new cards are really ugly tbh....thought the Ichilli X4 was probably, other than the FE, the best looking card so far....very tempted to order one still...I would ring overclockers and ask about stock situation and when to expect it.... but i'm sure they get enough RTX 3080 enquires at the moment lol :)

This seems to be the only UK shop I can see that sell Inno 3D cards aswell.

Good to know they are durable though. Thank you.
 
Being the only shop, I hope there's less competition for stock. But it might just mean we never see any get shipped here in the first place.
 
Taking a look also before I bought I found them to be a top flight manufacturer in India and the Far East, the higher end cards have the best coolers on them. Reviews are on line but as has been said they're in Indian and Thai language (well the Indian one is the strangest I've ever seen as he flips between English and Hindi (?) for no apparant reason!
