Aorus cards?

Appreciate the people doing vids of their card but I wonder when reviewers like GN/Jay/Bitwit/Paul/etc etc are gonna get hold of these cards and do their thing. Wouldn't mind seeing some properly controlled benchmarks and O/C

Personally feeling is not until they start shipping, the factory overclock is 2 bins lower than the Strix OC, and yet the price is much higher and the cooler much larger, I think there isn't any point in the xtream vs a FE or the cheapest board available.

Given this is the Strix OC which comes with a high factory overclock they have to test the stability. Asus said it takes 144 hours to make a card from the moment they get the GPU. You cant bin a batch based on one GPU. How would that work? Each chip is different. The strix OC has to to have the highest bins which means the most validation and highest silicon quality.

Obviously this is parallel but there will be a capacity as well as a limited number of chips which meet specification.

Having owned, Kingpin, Aurus Extreme and Lightning cards i can tell you that the numbers are always low compared to the cheaper models. Often limited production runs too.

But i must be wrong because we are swimming in Strix, Exreme's and Kingpins..... Oh wait.....

You're often mistaken, where did I say one gpu? A batch could be 5, 10, 500 gpus, they could take a 10% sample, or whatever is the percentage that meets the statistical percentile that they want, and then they can run the trial on those, in parallel, and then bin that batch. Those fully industrial process they don't have such high margin of error, but I'm not 100% on the process, this is perhaps something that they need to do once every batch because they need to recalibrate the automations. All of this is just me guessing based on my experience on QA process that I've seen in other industries.

You can't make an argument to justify why there's a lack of cards, and then, use the fact that there's a lack of cards to make your argument true, that a non-sequitur argument. For me the problem is clearly how NVIDIA fked up the release to grab money, NVIDIA didn't give enough time for the AIBs to do their design, layouts, etc, even more with the current covid circumstances where many companies are still adapting.

I cant se who you quoted? i'm gonna guess you're talking to that Karren I put on ignore earlier? Honestly mate do the same you cant teach stupid :-) And some point it will burn itself out with only itself left to argue nonsense with.
 
noot mine but love the look


@fx1 Strix TOP not OC has highest bins. Vender gets dies from NVidia then they are tested to see max speeds, then from there split for stability and you get your variations for OC/non OC/ Meltiing PC versions .

Its when you get the HOF or Kingpin thats double the prices- they get the real binning process

What I don't get is why manufacturers always insist on putting stuff where they know the cables will run. I have my cables going up on my 2080 right now for the same reason, but I'd prefer down as its generally easier to get them too look nicer.

Blows my mind why they don't make that direct area above or below a clear zone for RGB etc.

Damn another two weeks for the xtreme that's depressing

Yer thought Gigabyte and Aorus were a brand to put my faith in, at least 6 weeks post launch I'm one of the first people in line money paid all £900 on launch day not a single card shipped still.
I'll be going to another brand and AMD at this point, not good enough.

I'm 7th in queue so I should be one of the first, at this point I'm not cancelling I'm just eager to sell my rtx 2070 super really.
 
I’m about 150th in the queue :( just hope deliveries are better than the about 12 masters that got delivered. If it’s less than 20 on the first shipment I’ll just cancel and wait for the 20gb versions
