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

Pretty relieved with the outcome of the AMD reveal. It's good enough for many to jump ship and hopefully pressure Nvidia to ramp up manufacturing before they lose more custom. It's also good in respect that my paper order for a TUF OC still feels like money well spent. It has more established and mature features and my gsync monitor will benefit. Glad that there's some proper competition again.

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.

Yes I agree. The 3080 and 6800XT seem solid choices, as does the 6900XT. The 3090 and 6800 both seem a little off for the price, especially the 3090.

Sods law indeed! I was number 28.

I honestly dont think i've ever put so much effort into trying to give multiple companies so much of my money before. Ever.

Big feeling of relief now that my watch has ended twice in a day!

At least Gibbo's "OK amount" seems legit this time. On this batch of cards. I know 30 have shipped so far.

The game codes usually comes through a little bit after the shipped email like 1 hour from what I've seen other day

Well **** me dead, when you wait long enough for a bus and 2 turn up at the same time...

In this case the bus was of course the 3080. Scored an FE today and just got my Tuf OC dispatch email from OC.

I've had worse problems to deal with, but now I get to choose which one to keep and which to return!

Hahahaha, funny how a lot of us have got cards today though isn't it. Not a coincidence that it's on the day of the AMD announcement at all!!!
No chance my trio was due today, but I'm more than happy with the FE. It's the card I really wanted anyway. A lot of relief for quite a few of us today.
 
Will be interesting to see what queue positions will be on Friday. Though, what good is a queue position when ASUS are not shipping any non-oc tuf cards... :o

I placed order for Asus tuf from somewhere in Nottingham today but received email couple of hours ago saying cancelled and refunded because they couldn't fulfil the amount of orders received.....

Luckily, I didn't cancel my order for inno3d x3 here! Back to the hunt I go!

Easy choice - TUF. ;)
 
Redeemed my 1 year GFN I was paying for it anyway as we all use it on the Nvidia shield 2019s I have in house. So that saves me £60 over the next 12 months. £60 saved on watch dogs legion too. I'm pleased I got these codes as I would have paid for all these anyway so saved me £120 in total.

Yeah, it's a slog. I have been pretty patient, but this week I had enough and literally haven't moved from the PC since Monday during the day. Thankfully it paid off...At least I've only done that for 3 days. I was determined to get the FE, and did everything possible to get one.
