No they actually sold out pretty quickly. If you tried to put it in the basket you just went into a holding pattern. I tried to buy the gaming X from about 10mins after they were made available. Also tried the Auros master and it was the same.

From most of the reviews that I've watched and read the 3080 still beats the 6800xt especially in 4k. If you game without RT and at 1440p then at best they are quite level

from what I've seen amd wins in 1440 (not by much but still) and 3080 beats 6800xt in 4k, in RT amd has nothing to 3xxx series, it's between 2xxx and 3xxx series as rumoured. I'm going to utilise some RT in cyberpunk and I game in 3440x1440. There's not much difference (according to HU cost per frame) except of course RT performance. Still, I reckon I will be able to get 60+ FPS

Yeah that was me this afternoon. :-D I'm in the queue on OCUK for a Strix but that Aorus Master has caught my eye.

I would personally stick to the strix. I think the Aorus is another one with all sp-cap's. Once they fix the stability issue and un-nerf the driver again it might not boost as high as other all MLCC array cards like the STRIX.

I’m not sure we are talking about the same place I don’t want to hint or name for fear of being banned :( I wish you luck in your hunt :)

Small rant again

Ocuk seems to have had no stock and everyone else has and they made big claims about being the biggest and the best nvidia partner and would get stock before anyone else. Gibbo needs to explain what the hell is going on
 
No Palit has arrived :mad:

I've a word with Amazon because Royal Mail knows nothing and they said there's a problem and I should receive it next December 3rd... refund issued and waiting for my Asus again.

Why there was more than one retailer that dropped about 8 different cards today that appeared with a buy button for at least 2 hrs? I saw nothing on telegram or discord other than them. Happened around 2pm.

It's one of the nicer looking cards - I thought it would be a nice match to my z490 strix-e mobo as it has similar a looking cyberpunkish graphics style. did you manage to get one?
Click to expand...

No, I tried but I got stuck in the basket loop you described. I was pretty certain I was going to fail but I kept trying anyway until the page refreshed as out of stock. :-D And yeah, I'm in exactly the same mindset as you on the aesthetics.

Yeah that's why I've turned my nose up at the Palits and other random cards that have popped up elsewhere. The Aorus Master tempted me purely on availability and aesthetics today on the competitor site and while waiting in the queue I was checking out the videos and reviews.

My god must be on something else today.:)
 
I've no idea where these 'huge stock' levels 'available for hours' were today. I follow PartAlert on Twitter and StockDrops on Discord and all I saw today was Palit cards and MSI Gaming X, the MSI card my have been showing as available for a few hours, but it wasn't, it was in someone else basket all afternoon.

I saw the 3070/3090 FE's pop up on Scan again, same as yesterday, but still no 3080's.
 
So the AMD cards launched today at 2pm, and in the mad scramble to buy them before we even had reviews people became distracted, and some madlad competitors released new 3080 stock at the exact same time which I may or may not have acquired :)
