30xx Series Founders Edition

[Richard Childs]

god damn mining scalper parasite!!

I think I could squeeze another into my board but there would be no airflow between them. At some point there will be AM4 boards surely that have revised version that has the slot wider to accommodate this setup, as it is very niche though I guess there is no money to be made from board vendors.

Lol

Looks tight but fits on my msi b450 tomahawk max just waiting on a PSU today to power them both unfortunately that motherboard doesn't support nvlink

So now I'm in the market for a new motherboard the msi x570 ace looks great with the gold touches that would match the 3090 if I can get it to work with the 3 slot nvlink bridge instead.

X570 godlike is over £600 and would need importing

Is this the 3080? Enjoy!

3070. It's a beautiful thing, really heavy and robust - oozes quality. Now for the installation

My mate had the same and he lives in Dorset

My 3090 delivery was estimated for 9th but arrived today

Monday for me too, Cornwall. But I've waited two years for an upgrade so one weekend won't hurt.

Just grateful I managed to get something (3070)

Still awaiting picking 3080 , still having doubts I managed to buy one just want it to say picked so can rest them doubts

 

[Trick]

Same here @uscool

My 3060ti fe should be delivered this afternoon.

I'm supposed to be taking the kids swimming, bang in the middle of the delivery slot- typical!

Mine is the same, but not worried at all. Not due until Monday, so will be picked today/tomorrow

Can you share pics? My b450 TUF could do it and yours would help visualise.

FE build quality this round is way better than previous gens. As they are often way cheaper than AIB variants you cant really beat them.

The FE cards this time round are built like tanks, they feel very high quality in the hands.

Reminds me of the old iPhones that were covers in aluminium

I've still not heard anything about the status of my 3080. Payment authorised was the last message....

 

[gpuerrilla]

What time buy it?

 

[imginy]

The 3080Ti seems poorly placed at this price. May aswell just go all in and get the 24GB of RAM and better cooler.

Yeah 3080ti is a terrible price at £1050 but still I would rather save the £350 over the 3090 because I don't need 24gb ram.

Normally I wouldn't get such an expensive card but I got a 3080 on release for £689 then used it for 6 months and sold it for £1400 cash.

I am well happy with my 3080ti.

I am still waiting as well.

 

[Cadder]

What time buy it?

11:30 is when Order Confirmation email came with estimated delivery of 9th August.
14:57 Payment Authorised

Reading messages on Discord of others who have had the order picked update, but not us yet.

I am still waiting as well.

I hope you get sorted, keep us posted.


In other news, I have already seen a listing on FB marketplace near me for a 3080 FE up for £1200, due to be delivered 9th. Blatant scalping

 

[gpuerrilla]

Good to see another 3080 drop today then. Most people must have their hands on one of the 30 series cards, interested to see if these AIB LHR flavours are being shunned as they are high in price and thus too far for people to commit.
