30xx Series Founders Edition

yeah, having watched in-depth reviews they don't have the best cooler out there, so it's a little noisier at the same temps as some AIB cards. But it's pretty good overall and I much prefer the design to the plasticky AIB stuff.
 
Managed to bag a 3070 FE today as well. Again want a 3080 but the 3070 will do for now. Needed a bit more ooomph for Cyberpunk 2077 really. Hopefully it will get delivered before Friday. Grats to others who got one as well.

A quick undervolt/overclock got my 3070FE silent and still improved.performance.
 
Another advantage is the size as well, they're quite compact compared to the AIB cards.

Will be a nice small upgrade from the 1080 Ti, I wanted a card with less power draw/heat and the 3070 will still perform decently for me at 1440p.

So given the time now, does this mean we are pretty much guaranteed not to see any stock of 3080 fe between now and tomorrow morning? Or could these be automated and end up popping up at like 3am in the morning?

no worries Nexus18 just get some sleep afternoon is the best option.
 
I managed to pick up a 3060ti just before Christmas but really wanted the 3080fe very tempted to try again a lot of time and hassell but could be worth it and then sell the 3060ti on the mm for those who are struggling to get cards.

Aren’t they also manufactured from the chips that fail the 3090 & 3080 binning process and then cut down?

Might be completely wrong of course!

No the 70 and 60ti are a different die to the 90 and 80. The 80 is effectively a failed 90 and the 60ti is effectively a failed 70.

They may have good but cut down chips in the lower tier cards as demand allows but I doubt that at the moment given they are selling every card they make.


The smaller the chip design the easier it is to make, hence why AMD use a chiplet design of multiple dies on one substrate to make up the CPU. It’s more cost effective than intels monolithic approach to try and get the whole CPU from one die.

Unless of course they have a higher failure rate than we’re aware of perhaps? I am only speculating though, I’ve no idea. :p
