What's the status on the FE cards on nvidia's site? Are they coming back at all every now and then or has the FE stack completely sold out?

EDIT: I've found a discord link that was shared here but it's invalid unfortunately...

No drop at all last week but there was 3070s and 3090s the week before that.

"14/12/20 - We have updated the table with the latest information. Several of last weeks shipments have been delayed but are expected to arrive early this week."

Hopefully some drops this week!

Indeed. Must be refreshing the Nvidia store about 50 times a day at present, still nothing so far though.

@Ree you are a legend mate! Got my Seasonic cable today all the way from Taiwan.

@N19h7m4r3 you will never believe it, but the guys over the other side of the globe shipped this to me quicker than DPD could courier something 200 miles. It was sent Thursday evening and I got it midday today. Cant believe anyone rates them, DHL far superior. Hope @TNA sees this between CP shifts.

Thanks, wasn't aware of this page contains lots of useful info, shame there's nothing about the FE though.

Are there any downsides to undervolting? I'm interested in trimming some power consumption from my 3060Ti FE, how low can/should the voltage be dropped without significant performance hits, and what kind of power reductions are possible?

Nope, only potential instability outright. You're likely to get better performance than trying to up the power limit and crank the clocks with the FEs too, as they're very power limited and will bounce off it regularly even if you raise it. I'm running my 3070 at 950mV and a set clock of 2040MHz, which drops to 2025MHz and holds there as the card warms up. Also running +1000 on the memory. Reported total board power draw is usually in the 170-190W range during gaming, even with things like RDR2 and Cyberpunk running it flat out.

That's happened to me! Got something via Canada using regular post faster than DPD

All new FE stock is being put aside for customer rig builds when that demand subsides they will become available (note very few).

A2B · 15 Dec 2020 at 11:34

Yeah they don't mention the FE's as Nvidia is in charge of them (publicly at least, I don't know what deal they've made with them).

Is that confirmed? I would hope they at least split a percentage off for direct sales (NV would want to at least look like they have some stock for Xmas).

Feeling good about today ...

Where did you get this information from ?

BS Dave · 15 Dec 2020 at 15:43

i'm thinking of getting a 3070fe, are people happy with them on here?

Ree · 15 Dec 2020 at 15:46

yup it's a cracking card especially getting them for the price they should be.

And even better to compliment your FE card is if you have a SeaSonic PSU cable shipped for the 12-pin goodness!!

I was waiting for that. If you had said it went BOOM - would have delayed!

It's a really good card for £469 rrp. Not sure I'd have paid much more though. Pleased with mine anyway.

Not seen anything pop up yet unfortunately. Hasn’t stopped me checking about 25 times so far today though.
