Which software are you using?

I'm currently using MSI Afterburner, I can't seem to get my card to idle on desk and appears to be running at full speed

Geforce Experience - Experimental features enabled (Alt+R to bring up overlay)
I don't usually use that POS, esp not for optimising games, but thought I would try out the new features.

Might be windows or nvidia power settings then, causing it to prefer max performance all the time.

Yep managed to sort it out

Idling at about 32-33 on desktop now

Does anyone known if there will be more stock of the founders edition cards?

Do you know if you need a specific card for that? I've turned that on but I can't see to get it to show on my screen (GTX 690 SLI - don't laugh)

nothing landed today. maybe tue / wed before the lockdown?

Lockdown will not impact it. They come when nvidia send the next batch of cards. That’s been roughly every week but some have been missed.

The next strategic time will be just before the 6800 reviews drop, launch or zen 3 drops.

Im pretty sure the majority of these FE cards end up on ebay within hours of them going live... its very hard to compete with these high tech scalpers.

Anyone with an interest in the 3080 is watching that site like a hawk....

They really ought to be putting a stop to these scalper scumbags. With so few cards available, they should at least be getting into the hands of gamers. The whole scenario is pretty appalling.

I get the feeling Nvidia secretly like scalpers buying em up.... and people really are paying up to £1500 a pop!

Hoping for more to land this week and plenty of stock...

You'd hope so, given they were launched on the 17th September and that they've only shipped 23 of them globally.

Only the sexiest of people use FE.

I'd say the bigger issue is people pay the inflated prices.

Wonder if we'll see a £50 price cut once the 6800XT launches?

or £100

Let's not jump the gun and presume pricing til we get it confirmed

The 5700XT was almost a 1:1 conversion iirc.

Mark011 · 2 Nov 2020 at 20:24

I'm quite sure the price will be £649 for the 6800XT, the price in dollar is without taxes, while the price in pound will already have taxes in it

The RTX 3080 founders in the US is $699 but in the UK is £649. So if the Radeon 6800xt is $649 in the US we would have to assume it is going to be somewhat cheaper than £649 until we know other wise. I would guess £629.

You do realise that nvidia and AMD are different companies yes? And that they operate in different ways? Sheesh.
