*** NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3080 SERIES STOCK SITUATION - NO COMPETITOR DISCUSSION ***

I was one of the lucky few who managed to bag a 3080 FE today, more than happy with my choice! I don't do AMD so that was never in the running for me personally. Good luck to everyone else.

You always used pay more for an oc version so that you got another 50-100mhz of factory boost oc without having to overclock l manually.
Now they are literally waiting to get garbage silicon that won't boost well so they can put it in the non oc cards.
What a joke.

It's not new, non-OC cards always got the worse silicon. You pay for the better chip, not for someone to dial it up 2 notches. Especially as a poorly trained baboon could overclock a card using MSI Afterburner.

Well AMD got my attention. Was 104 in queue for Gigabyte Gaming OC RTX 3080. So everyone above me just moved up. I will stick with my RX5700XT until I can get my hands on a Aorus Master RX 6800XT. It's been fun guys and good luck to all on getting your cards.

Cya again in the 6800XT queue thread. :p
 
I am an NVIDIA fanboy, but I have to admit after watching the AMD event and for the first time ever AMD have just kicked NVIDIA's latest offerings into touch... :O

When cards get shipped do you receive updates on your que position im in que for the zotac trinity and supposedly shipped today but not received anything?

Yes. In my experience, you get an update as soon as they're done shipping a batch, as well as at the end of each week. OCUK have become very good at keeping you up to date. But volumes are still very small and slow to arrive. Despite what Nvidia says, they are clearly having supply issues.
 
I look forward to Watch Dogs making my 3080 look crap :D

I got Arkham Knight with my 980ti and that was the same. What is it with Nvidia giving crap performing games with their new GPUs.
 
I just could not take any more, i was in position 94 for the Asus tuf Oc but im going to join the Big Navi que, its been very emotional and im not sure i will ever get over it, so see you all Nov 18th if you can make it that far, good luck evrybody im going t Pub, regards

From what I've seen Legion actually performs quite well for a change. You'll start running into trouble if you want to max everything out at high resolutions but CPU might actually be a bottleneck. Ubisoft are notorious for CPU hungry games.
 
Well I'm impressed that AMD Radeon has managed to catch up finally. And no matter which team you like it's good for all of us. This will only bring prices down in future and maybe very soon of team green.

How ever I have to say I wasn't impressed enough to want to switch.

The only people who should feel quite bad right now are the people who purchased the 3090 only for gaming.

3080 brothers and sisters I feel we are good. With everything the 3080 can do more refined DLSS, Raytracing as Nvidia had had 2 generations to sort issues out where as AMD is only just starting.
Nvidia has far more features and no idea if AMD drivers will be good.

I was concered about price. But considering its basically the same price £50 less for the 6800xt over a 3080 FE, I can chill and be happy with my 3080 order. And not worry and feel bad. If they had said $550 I'd of been gutted.

As for the $999 for the 6900xt people need to understand those scores are ONLY with RAGE mode and running with a 5000 series and CPU (which I'm getting anyway) and a pcie 4.0 motherboard. So if you have intel or have older AMD CPU and or no pcie 4.0 motherboard you would have to factor those upgrades into the cost if trying to beat the 3090.

Either way this is a great thing for everyone.

Now let's see if Nvidia responds to bring the 3080 super and 3070 super out.

Also these 6800xt at $650 will be £600 then £100 minimum for ok AIB boards.
And the 6900xt is $999 here in UK £899 and AIB £100-150 above.

If you bought a 3090 ONlY for gaming. Ouch. If you have a decent 3080 your good.
That's my option and I have no blind brand loyalty to either.
