I had to completely re-configure my case to fit my 3090 - remove all the drive cages to put it into an open case configuration, and move the drives to new locations including behind the backplate. Nearly a complete re-wire too, just to get the wires neat and tidy. Was worth the hassle though.

Same, can't wait!
Haha - I still play QW several times a week, should get good frames with a 3090You were probably using that thing to kick my ass in quakeworld - defo time for an upgrade
I managed to drill out the rivets and remove the offending piece of steel this evening, took about half an hour but most of that was figuring out the right drill bit to use. So I can at least give it a go in this case using the top PCIE slot, due to arrive tomorrow.

Assuming you already have an FE and want the FE its going to be much harder beyond the existing hype/want/specialness no?
If you already have a 3080 then the RTX 4000 series is where it's at.
Unless one can make that change at no or negative cost... seems pointless.
Its hardly ever worth upgrading from 1 gen to the one directly after it.... let alone from a 80 model to its ti or super variant.
Only makes any sense if the cost to change is very low or actually negative. (As maybe the non-LHR cards will command a premium?)
Yep I got no interest in the ti, the best thing about the ti is it will offer a alternative to the 3080 thats cheaper than the 3090 for those who cant get a 3080, assuming there is a FE variant, as the AIB version will probably cost more than 3090 FE.
Currently waiting on my 3090 FE to arrive, sometime in the next 2 hours. Hesitant to put it into current PC (replacing my 1080 Ti) as the PSU is 8 years old at this point and I'm not sure where I put all the modular cables... Will be buying the rest of the nw PC next week so will just try to be strong. Also I'm not playing anything right now that needs the 3090...
Yeah I figured it wouldn't be long for someone to suggest replacing it
Just get one of the ones that fits in the CD bay, be reet'..
