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)

Do you have 3090fe? For my fe card the 3 slots pci bracket is good enough and don't need extra support.

More stock in europe - UK later this week again??

Looks like a big drop in Germany and the Netherlands..

rumple9 · 7 Sep 2021 at 09:46

No they are following our drop from Friday. That's probably it for September

DiZ88UK · 7 Sep 2021 at 09:47

They have 3080s and 3070s - we didnt get those...

Full on rainbow drop for Germany and the Netherlands. So many choices lol.

doodah · 7 Sep 2021 at 09:48

LOL I am on that Telegram group, got a notification about 3060Tis, checked the link one minute later - all gone.

Bossman · 7 Sep 2021 at 09:50

Does that German/Netherlands shop deliver to the UK?

Trying to drop you a Trust message (DM) but it says you're not a user

The complete RTX range but the question is how many of each model. Very few i suspect.

aimless · 7 Sep 2021 at 13:51

I reckon the uk supply of 3060ti,3070 and 3080 has completely run out. Most likely only 70ti and 80tis from here on in.

nox_uk · 7 Sep 2021 at 14:02

Is there any uk only FE part alert channel?

I did get one for extra reassurance. Only £10 for an aluminium one.

Thanks - I might be in the market for one as I hit a couple of snags while installing last night.

i) The card is so deep that I can't get access to the thumbscrews at the back of the case (Corsair 900D) to screw it in. Didn't occur to me last night but maybe if I put the screws part way in, then the card I can maybe reach down through the roof to tighten.

ii) Like I've seen others post the rear vent on the card is partially blocked by the case back panel sections that go in between the removable PCIe slot blanking plates. Guess I'll be cutting these out.

How do people get an inking when these drops tend to happen?

Major774 · 10 Sep 2021 at 09:23

By watching the Telegram alerts for a while. I have got my card but I am still following to watch how the GPU market is doing.

If I could buy on behalf of gamers I would. I am in a fortunate position to work from home since Mar 2020.

ZXSpekky48k · 10 Sep 2021 at 09:47

I suppose when they start landing in other European countries after a lull it suggests a shipment has reached our part of the world and hopefully coming to the UK soon

Thats lucky, wish I did this earlier. I guess I naively assumed that stock and prices would have normalised by now. But gonna watch the telegram now and hope I get lucky
