30xx Series Founders Edition

[BeelzebubUK]

Well I was thinking about buying a 2080ti 2nd hand or a 3080FE but considering how abysmally they have handled this I'm going to be really tempted to get whatever AMD come out with at the end of the month if the performance is anywhere near the same as the 3080.

3090 fe are getting listed on the rainforest. Obviously currently unavailable but it’s probably a sign that Nvidia are going with them to sell fe outside of North America.

UK one? I Don't see anything

It doesn’t show up searching. In the discord group I’m in someone spotted it in the Japan store and can now find it in all amazon sites using the product code I believe. Might be nothing or could be a sign Nvidia will use amazon to sell fe cards.

 

[roysters]

Ahh ok cheers! I'll keep one eye on it

Is there an fe edition of the 3070? Looked on the nvidia site and can see a 3070 I assume is an fe and it looks great. Any reason not to go for it assuming one can actually be bought?

 

[crazy8s]

Yes, released on the 29th Oct.

 

[roysters]

All 3 of them. Good luck!

lol had this in mind. Any reason not to get an fe? ie cooling not great or something?

I hope it's not Amazon, really don't like that company + last time I tried to make an account it was flagged and banned for something haha.
So I won't be using them no matter what, hopefully they have some on the uk Nvidia store or OCuK.

Averaging between 100-130FPS in Warzone @ 144Hz 3840x2160 during heavy gun fire with the 3080.

Think I’m limited by the CPU as I’ve had to stick a 2700X in while my 3900x is being RMA’d.

The big tech sites should consider refusing to review these things. If Nvidia are not going to make them available to buy - even to preorder - then it all starts to look like a sly marketing gimmick, or even a form of bait and switch.
The public are being showcased a product, with buy-in from the media, only to find that they can only purchase an AIB product, which are often inferior or more expensive.

Definitely won't pay more. £649 is my cap for this gen (3080 FE or Asus TUF (non-OC)). Anything more and I may as well stick to PS5 and XSX.

I may up it to £649.99 but that's about it!

 

[Shaolin Chicken]

I need a 2 slot card for my itx case so it has to be the founders and as above will only pay £649.

You'll be waiting a long time for cards at MSRP!

It's like that thing the trains used to do where they advertised a ticket for next to nothing but there was actually only one seat on the entire train for that price.

Probably, but will stick with console if prices remain inflated.

 

[Tutan]

for the better..
the 20GB version will arrive soon,also better / more stable AIB versions,1070,1060 TI and AMD cards,and I'm sure we'll see better prices.

 

[midweek]

the 20GB 3080 will probably fill the £1000 gap in the line-up so won't do much for prices. But then I am cynical.

Used to do. They still do it now. Or they did before Pre-Covid.
