30xx Series Founders Edition

Maybe so, my impression was that it would probably be Q4 2022 for the 'Ampere Next' cards. Not much reason to release them earlier than then (presumably in time for RDNA 3).

Correct I agree.

I suppose the other factor, is that the RTX 3080 will probably keep it's value for longer than the RTX 3070.

Disagree. Unless it gets postponed, if the talk of the supers materialises, nvidia do release supers (or same cards with more VRAM) I would say shuffling to these would be the longer term play should more games start shipping with large texture packs etc. As with the previous point, we could be very near christmas before the stampede to secure a unicorn 40 series begins and we still dont know what the asking price Jenson will stuff us with...

It’s a shame because that means you can’t upgrade will just have to buy on a different card and different address what a faff

Its a system I agree with, you really shouldnt be needing to upgrade twice in one gen, get the one you need first time, if you have a 3070, someone with say a 1070 is a in a worse position and not yet brought a 3000 series card.

That's what I'm upgrading from a 1070 so a 3080ti is a big update. Hope it comes today lol.

My pascal friends... it is now safe for you to upgrade!

Hoping mine comes today too but it’s with DPD and on its way to their depot so I’m expecting it to come on Monday. I’ve ordered the annoyingly expensive £20 Corsair 12 pin adapter for my RM750x so I might just wait for that to turn up anyway.

Just got notification that mine is coming today, rather then Monday as originally stated.

Same here

Has anyone who ordered a 3070 had theirs despatched yet? Mines still awaiting picking, not that I'm anxious about it or anything like that ..

On Android, it seems you can.

Then maybe the second SIM with free data is something you can do. If the phone needs a reboot, it's a non-starter.

Anyone is planning of undervolting their 3080/3080Ti?

Where is everyone getting the better looking power cables from?

I have, am running a 3080 Ti @ 850/1800, will boost up to 1830, but more usually runs at 1815 after warming up.

Runs everything great, never goes above around 68C, and the fans stay nice and hushed.

Mine was free from Phanteks once you provide them with proof of purchase of an FE card and one of their PSU's.

Nice touch, Corsair are charging £20 for theirs.
