2080Ti Pre-order shipping dates

Why would there be any cables anywhere near the underneath of the card though? Horrendous design that one.

Sff build or something? I dunno, the wrong kind of card for that anyway. Just a weird looking addition that for virtually anyone that buys it will have zero use.

Over engineering at it's finest

Interesting the evga cards on some images show 3 fans but on the ocuk site show only 2.

Ah, i see its 2 options on their site.



That shield thing...fugly.

If they added a mesh to it to block dust it might make sense.

Wrench it off, stick a waterblock on - problem solved

Its an optional extra, thankfully Can't see them selling many.

That's fair enough but didn't you pre-order? Doesn't your email tell you when it is shipping? Did this need an entirely new thread considering there is already one dedicated to pre-ordering where this could have been posted instead of spamming the forum with yet another 20 series thread?

And I was off in my estimate, there are 51 separate threads on the forum related to the release of these cards (that I counted, there might be more). Excessive to say the least and most are related topics which could easily have been posted in an existing thread.

We all get it, people are excited about the new cards but that is no excuse for filling the entire forum full of threads about it. I mean, what's next. Someone gonna start a thread asking 'Wonder what the rpm range of the fans are on the 2080ti?'

No email telling me when mine is shipping and pretty sad that you counted all the 2080 threads

Fair point as well about the fans and what rpm they spin at... Could be worth a new thread

Don't get how that shield thing helps in any way whatsoever

It's another useless gimmick to add false value to an overpriced Nvidia product.... That is all it is nothing more than that, this is the world we ended up in LEDS on everything (even inside a case that has no way to see them) and gimmicks like this. The PC industry needs to stop being run by kindergarden kids with greedy eyes.

All these gimmicks cost pennys but they add £100's on top of the price. I love EVGA but even they are testing my patience in recent years too with stuff like this.

Optional purchase: eye cancer. Nice one EVGA...

I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but that EVGA card looks awful, it's so cheap looking.

Expect delays after the initial shipment, 24th is a public holiday in China (Mid-Autumn Festival).

Still at least they're cheaper than the lovely looking FE GPU. Oh hang on, no they're not

I'm sure they're hoping NV can't supply enough of their more beautiful cards and folks will be forced to buy AIB cheap tat covered GPU's for £100+ more

The rendered pictures in the sales listings for the EVGA cards look awful but when you see actual pictures of it, I think it looks good.

This French publication seems to have the RTX 2080 XC Ultra in their possession and took a bunch of photos of it from a number of angles as well as with the card plugged into a motherboard.

That thing had better seriously overclock like a beast to justify that size and ugliness. Personally I think EVGA have lost the plot this round, or perhaps they're still over-engineering their cooling solutions since the 1080 FTW fiasco.

That's a shame, thought it might say on your order confirmation email. I guess they didn't know themselves maybe until more recently.

I was bored haha, plus I wanted to see how many there were after taking that wild guess. Didn't expect it to be anything near that many though if I'm honest.

Speaking of fans the FE has them spaced quite far apart compared to most other twin fan designs, but it's still the best 20xx design I've seen so far imo.

Looks like EVGA have released the hydro block in US for preorder... it’s also a complete mess compared to previous designs

It was a mess on the 9 and 10 series with EVGA as well. Their new cards look like ice cube trays.
