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

Both Inno and Zotac use POS caps and these are the most unstable, Der8auer has an article where he changes them and gets another 30mhz stable I dont think they are the best 3090 designs on the market.

not make much difference to fps, for everday use there is no problem with the caps used.
 
If you have a pre-order, hold on to it. The 6900XT figs look good but that was on Zen 3 and Rage mode, that alone added a good bit to the figs if what AMD say is true, plus like Nvidia, it was games picked out by AMD.
The AMD ray tracing is speculated to be just over an RTX3070 and the DLSS is totally unknown quality-wise.
If you are on with Zen 2/3 and not bothered about RT in games, the AMD cards look great, but if you like visuals and can live with dropping FPS for extra wow, the RTX is still the win on that alone, plus if you run Intel, you will not get what they showed.
I have a funny feeling that these AMD cards are going to be like Nvidia's first lot of RTX cards. New tech, new drivers, new software to fine-tune and some stuff we don't even know how well it will turn out.
 
I looked at the zotac if only to end the wait for a new card but at a 1700 price no chance price drop in a few weeks anyway when AMD cards drop

OCUK charging scalper prices. Shameless.

Thats shocking and sad but not the only ones doing it.,

Before the shortages both the Zotac and Inno had a MSRP of £1399 so currently there is a £300 premium for them being in short supply.

Thats worse than the normal Asus tax!

Nowhere is selling any AIB anywhere near their MSRP. Even the Asus Strix 3090OC was only meant to be £1599. I know cause i currently have an preorder with another retailer at that price.

I baulked at paying £1599 at the time for the strix. No way would I pay £1700 for a zotac or Inno3d!

Yeah I'm glad AMD are really close now as this will drive Nvidia to do better next time and hopefully cheaper. Sticking with my Tuf OC order, the 6900x looks great and games may well be optimised for it better due to next gen having the same features. But that won't be for a year or 2

only last week the zotac was £1589 on OCUK.
 
Yup - way to make a quick buck whilst supply chains are short, but, its only worth what people are willing to pay for it, so they might not sell and just sit there.

It's sad seeing this happen.
 
You dont mind paying recommended retail, but just because there is stock is no reason to stripe people up loading prices. you don't build customer loyalty that way.
