There is only one official retailer of founders cards in the UK.

I paid the extra couple of quid for Saturday delivery and my 3060ti arrived today.

Very happy with it

Mine was a 3060Ti FE for £369 from yesterday's drop.

EDIT: ....and despatched.

Mine has been dispatched as well, got an email at 4:40pm on Saturday. I would keep an eye on the status, I think they do Sunday deliveries sometimes regardless.

Why is nv link so costly

They do indeed - just had notification that mine is arriving before half 2

It's not to people spending £3k on two 3090's.

Nice. My 3060 Ti FE is on its way from Hinkley hub to Lincoln depot, will get mine tomorrow hopefully.

Sorry I know this must have been covered before in this thread already but I'm having trouble finding it. What sources are people using for FE drop alerts?

Telegram, worked for me, you just got to be quick and have your account with the UK retailer setup and ready to go (buy) beforehand.

If anyone is after a decent looking 12pin cable, this one arrived today, looks good. Not tested yet as card will be arriving tomorrow:

EZDIY-FAB RTX 3000 Series 12 Pin to Dual 8 Pin PCIe Sleeved Extension Cable 300 MM- Connector for NVIDIA Ampere GEFORCE RTX 3060ti 3070 3080 FE

Insane, if idiots are happy to pay it I'm tempted to sell mine and could basically get a 3080ti with the money...don't care about mining

Go for it if you are only a gamer

stupid question, but what do you need to buy this for? does your psu not have the required cable?

The default 12pin is ugly as hell.. simply put.. and as far as i'm aware, PSU do not supply the 12pin cable with their PSU. You only get one when you purchase a 3000 series card which uses one

ah ok thanks, so its an aesthetic thing rather than a technical requirement with the 3X cards.

Yep, the included adapter will look ugly in my windowed case.

Wow, it's a heavy box

Edit: damn even smells nice once opened

Edit 2: my god it's huge (goes off to research GPU support brackets)
