*** NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3090 SERIES STOCK SITUATION - NO COMPETITOR DISCUSSION ***

Anyone who preordered a 3090 Strix OC who was above position 283 shoud jump a space as I've just cancelled my order, the 6900XT is just too damn tempting especially as my 6700K is being replaced with a 5000 series cpu anyway so it makes sense for me to jump to AMD's ecosystem.

I've not had a team red card since the 9800 Pro days, but Nvidia have lost me this time around and near 3090 performance for a LOT less money is something I can't pass up.

Hope you guys don't have to wait for too long and happy gaming!
 
Im on the waiting list/queue for the MSI 3080 Trio but last week I was sitting at 1335 in the queue, So luckily today I managed to get a Msi 3090 Trio, And its being delivered on Friday which is great, Im not fussed about the AMD cards as all I ever had was display/driver issues and the obvious heat LOL I even had the first Radeon X850 XT with master and slave card this was ATIs first attempt at SLI,

Anyway does anyone know If this can be fitted vertically into a corsair icue 4000x RGB with riser cable,

I'd still go for the 3090. My only concern would be if there is a price cut.
Not sure if nvidia will though. It looks like the 3090 still edges raster if used on stock systems without rage mode. I also think RT will be a good bit quicker on the 3090, so nvidia will maintain the premium pricing?

I still want to keep my 3090, but I'm torn on a refund then rebuy at the lower price... I'm starting to lean on the side of keeping.

I am in the same boat mine is on the way.but the way i see it is.Nvidia makes good solid gpus.also nvidia has better encoder for streaming and game capture .Nvidia will be forced to answer back or drop price of the 3090 if amd floods the market on launch but i doubt thats gona happen thanks to covid and scalpers.i recon we will be good for at least 6 months before we take a £500 hit on these cards.the question you then need to ask your self is is £500 worth loosing over 6 months with a kick a.. card.For me yes so i will be keeping mine.

Yes, that would be fine by me.
I think some of the hype train comments today rubbed off on me.
 
I was wobbling my brain around thinking about the almost certain price hit that the 3090 is going to have; I have reached a conclusion and it is thus:
  • I am happy with 3090 (which I am yet to physically receive)
  • I currently play at 1080p and I am very glad to have a large upgrade path available (monitors), each providing a refreshing experience
  • I currently have a 3900x - this also leaves an upgrade path on CPU front

This GPU will easily sit in my system for next 2 years at least... the 24GB VRAM will make sure of it.
2++ years with no chance of dipping below 144fps? Yeah I'm down.
 
NVIDIA will almost certainly retain the top position this generation. Even if AMD achieves parity in rasterization performance, NVIDIA is still far ahead in new tech such as ray tracing, DLSS, voice, etc.

For an enthusiast looking for the absolute best, the 3090 will remain the card to get for the foreseeable future.
 
I kind of stopped visiting this forum just because of this "launch", I'm glad more people got their RTX 3090s. I'm currently 104 in the queue for 3090 Strix OC, I am looking to Pre-order Ryzen 5900x (Obviously not form OCUK, I have learned my lesson). Just got my Asus X570 ROG Strix E and Kraken z73, really excited to go from 8700k to 5900x should be a substantial jump especially PCI 4.0 and double the core count.

I kind of settled down and try not to get bothered about not getting my GPU as I sold my 2080ti on 15/09. Just been on the PS4 Pro try to clear the backlog of games, one thing is for certain and I don't mean to come of as a PC snob, I cannot play RDR 2 in 30fps anymore. It feels so bad that I deleted it, 4k 60fps on PC has spoiled me :) I'm actually eager to play RDR 2 again on my LG OLED.

Also I don't care if I don't get the Watch dogs code, I never did. I never liked Ubisoft games since AC2, and since there as so many games out there nowadays I don't even waste my time with garbage ones.
 
Personally I’m fine with my 3090 and would still pick it over the AMD offering, I’ve heard so many people complaining about AMD’s GPU drivers to this day and the fact is the features on the nVidia side are better, plus no numbers shown for AMD’s ray tracing performance or how it’s going to be supported, are current and previous games going to be patched? When are new games going to support it? Will it be as fast as the 30 series with that switched on when it’s their first go at this?

AMD are killing it this year, no question and for sure I would have preferred the 3090 to be a few hundred quid cheaper, but it’s still the top card overall and I’d still pick it, fanboys can continue to be narrow minded and childish all they want, on any side of the fence, I look at the whole picture.

im happy with my 3090 better features better drivers i have an Intel processor so i would have to buy a new motherboard a 5000 series CPU just to make the most out of these AMD graphics cards wait for the independent reviews i bet you all the tea in China it won't be faster than the 3090.
 
Guys we dont know yet how good is amd but we all know how good are amd drivers right? :D i still waiting for 3090 no matter what amd will try tell me
 
I set up Distill.io to check for stock yesterday and was surprised at how well it worked (this was before the AMD event). I saw 3 models come into stock and up until that point, I had not seen a single one over the weeks of using the now in stock sites.
 
Doesnt make a lot of difference to me, since my girlfriend gave me £500 as an early xmas present (even though had paid dosh on my pre-order beforehand) so technically still cost me on parity with AMD's best offering.... plus I have a high end gsync monitor, and losing that feature would be a bit pointless thing to do having spent about a grand on the monitor for it.

AMD was very sus on it's downplaying ray tracing metrics and similarly skipped over it's attempt at DLSS in a fashion that suggest both those features are still weaker than Nvidia's versions. Which will become the measuring stick in new benchmarks, once we see some port royal scores on open tests, then we'll know for sure where things are.

Has me thinking back to the great Physx days when Borderlands 2 launched and both the best cards from the brands where matching on raster, but physx was just way better looking on Nvidia kit (as opposed to say the whole hair fiasco on the tomb raider game about 5 years back that AMD slipped ahead on breifly), I think we will see this is the case here too in regards to RT and DLSS being Nvidia's 2nd wave versions that should be enough ahead of AMDs versions to keep the crown.

We haven't even seen RX6000 series' encoder yet, perhaps it's better than Nvidia's?

How can you possibly just assume AMD chose to not improve it over previous generations?

You bought/pre a 3090 to play at 1080 ? That 24GB will never be used.

Agreed. Unless he is planning on changing his monitor this month, a decent AIB 3080 like the Asus will be within 1 to 2 fps of the 3090 at 1080p. I am only looking at a 3090 cause I game in 4k 120hz.
