And that is why you should wait for reviews!

Tbf its only 30% because the strix oc board allows for 480W power. These gpus need power for their max perfromance.

All two power pin 3090s will be limited to 375W and will only be 5-10% faster than a 3080.

So you have to buy the right 3090.

Exactly what I thought would happen.

I did think the 3090 launch was much better than the 3080 aside from the nvidia store which for me was out of stock before it even launched.

None of the other websites I tried crashed and I was able to check out smoothly. There was even stock for 10-15 minutes.

Realistically, how many people were trying to spend £1500 on a 3090 vs £700 on a 3080, a week before.

Thanks for the information. Nvidia's marketing department grabbed hold of the 3090 and pushed as an 8K gaming beast, to create publicity because of the AMD 6000 series news and rumours - it's all about being first, perhaps AMD has a card that can push 8K (just about). This then leads people to that didn't get a 3080 to buy the 3090 because it will crush 4K, if it can manage 8K, the logic is there. It is encouraging to see the above gains and there has been a great deal of 3090 bashing to get video views on YouTube and those who are simply bitter and want to feel good about their 3080 or AMD or 2080ti or whichever GPU they currently have. It's important to note that the drivers alone need maturing and we are likely to see improved gains, combined with game engines taking advantage of Ampere technologies.

The other argument as to why someone would want this, is the it's a prosumer card for those like me that work from home in media. I have a 3080 on preorder with OCUK, but having seen it crash due to lack of VRAM and the 3090 trounce the existing Titan which is $1000 more. This became the point where I realised the 3090 was a better option; improved, faster workflow and then quality gaming.

For the record, I bought the 3090 from Scan, as I think OCUK have handled the preorders pretty poorly for the 3080.

Similarly, the deciding factor was the VRAM, convolutional neural networks suck a lot of RAM and this still works out 1k cheaper than a Titan RTX
 
I've ordered the 3090 Gaming x Trio at 14:11 and They havent even got the stock for 3090 Gaming x Trio in the beginning... I'll probably have to wait a month to get my card...

Not an oversight but a realistic setting of expectations...

The Nvidia offer is only valid for redemptions up to 30/11/20, and you need the card installed to redeem the offer...

Right now they cannot be sure that they will have delivered the cards by that date, even if they can get the codes from Nvidia.

Better to not advertise it and be able to 'surprise' people with a code than to promise it and then be unable to deliver in time for the offer to be redeemed...

it should do if they get more codes. Every other retailer was selling the 3090 with games codes

Well mine has now shipped and have not been emailed a code as of yet but I think some who managed to snag a 3080 got their codes through. Think it is more of a case that OCUK only had 1000 codes and they have all gone to the 3080 guys.

If one does come through to me then I will ping an update on here.

Same card and same time as me :D

What's your order number (OC)? (just for laughs to see how many orders were submitted within seconds of each other)

Yea I sold my 2080ti Gaming X Trio, 3 weeks ago for £850. I have not gamed since then, and right now I really wanna play Mafia.

I have 8700k @ 4.9ghz and 32GB of Corsair Vengeance @ 3200mhz + 1000w EVGA Platinum PSU

Processor is good enough ?

Daft question... why were there four small packets of Haribo Tangfastics in the bottom of the box my 3090 came in? :)

Not that I mind, but as an order bonus it seems a bit eccentric to say the least.

OMG, just got the email that my 3090 is being shipped! I was totally under the impression I missed out on the first batch and will be waiting a while.
Megathanks to Gibbo and everyone on this forum, for the tips, hints and just the general camaraderie really. Best of luck to those still waiting!

I'll start holding my breath now! Gonna be the best christmas present to myself ever!
 
Just got my dispatch email through on my Gigabyte Gaming OC card, OC4045284 at 14:08:00.

Looking forward to it arriving! Reviews show that the card is ultimately limited by its 2 x 8 pins but I suspect that these PWM limited cards are those that didn't win the silicone lottery.
