Thank the Gods you mentioned that. I was staring intently at the MSI 3090 Suprim and trying desperately to talk myself out of it... and I've now bought a 3090FE for mrp!
I don't know whether to be delighted or disgusted with myself

Considering the upcoming price increases, you probably just paid what the 3080ti is going to cost so enjoy it
Lmao! Exactly my sentiments. Let's hope the old 1080Ti extreme comes up trumps, if it's anything like the others it should make at least a few quid back toward the 3090.I've now bought a 3090FE for mrp!

Yeah no need to get a 3090 for 1440p a 3080 will be fine!
Just purchased, thanks for the heads up guys!
I committed to buying the first 6900 XT or RTX 3090 that came in stock at RRP a while back and now it’s finally happened!
Will still be F5’ing various websites on boring conference calls to try and find a 5900X at RRP!

well .. at least less disgusted (relatively speaking
).
10GB will have to be enough edition.
Maybe I should call it 'blue screen' edition. Was playing Watch Dogs Legion when the PC blue screened and shut down.
I do have my ram aggressively overclocked but it has been stable at those settings before.
So I need to do some testing later. I will probably go with a less aggressive ram overclock and hope the card isn't the problem.
I sold my 1080 yesterday as well.

I don't think it was the GPU, because when the PC rebooted it told me the BIOS had been reset. Which indicates the ram was unstable.
Yep. Defo sounds like RAM. Just loosen it a little or bump up voltage. Some games are more picky.
well, I helped at least 3 people get 3090 FE's today. see that Santa/Buddha/mum, I'm a good boy after all!
.. now where's my 3080 FE?
I owe you one..... but the best I can currently do is a bag of unused Noctua Chromax Swap coloured fan corner mount pad things.
Well I did it, after swearing I'd never get one, but I went for the 3090fe.
The delay of the 3080ti did it for me, plus the lack of 3080 stock and the increases in prices for those that are available. Now I'll have to take my PC to bits to install it, as the drive cage will need removing. I have a good 750w PSU so hopefully power shouldn't be an issue.
Also, playing a lot of VR I don't think 10gb will really be good enough in the long run. My 1080ti often reaches that in Skyrim VR modded.

Buy it plus another 3090 and let us know how multi GPU runs these days
Historically no but you never know.
Ah its for SLI? Sorry I have not look at new graphics cards for a while! was just curios why they were suggesting this at checkout. An no I am not ordering the 3090FE again lol. I should be getting the 3070 tomorrow

Yes but it’s not called SLI anymore.
And now you know how outdated my knowledge is on graphic cards.
