30xx Series Founders Edition

What a amazing UK drop bet Germany get loads again.

could have bought 3070Ti but it's not worth £549 rather put that money towards a 4080, was sold out in a minute.

Still trying to flog the useless 4090Ti that's never going out of stock, never sold out lol.

Yeah same I was so close to buying but then I checked out reviews, and 100 quid more for 5 or 10 percent average performance isn't worth it to me. I'd rather get the 3070 or a 3080 or at this point I might as well just wait for the 4000 series.
 
I think at this point theres a lot of people waiting for the next round of cards, be it AMD or Nvidia, how AIB's are going to cope I have no idea because its clear even Nvidia are in on the scalping at this point..
 
if the rumoured power draw of the 4000 cards are true I think a 3070ti FE may be a good shout and then see out the next gen and then wait for the version after in the hope that power demands are bought something closer to sanity again.

I thought my 3090FE was outrageous but it seems NV heard that and went " hold my beer!"

I've only heard the power draw for the top tier 4090 (or whatever will be called) is 600W. I'm hoping that the 4070/4080's will be no more than what the variant is now (350W and less) but with the tier above performance. A bit like the 3070 was now; with 2080Ti performance on way less power.

Thing is, if they come out in Nov again, largely paper releases last time and most people only got a card 12 months on - might as well get on an FE if the need is there I'd say.

Never understood the wait till next gen philosophy, if you want it now, buy it now, and I would be very surprised if we get FE prices next gen anything like prices this gen, Nvidia know they priced the early FE cards too low, and the 4000 series with its power delivery will be more expensive to manufacture as well. If you need more VRAM maybe wait as I expect 4000 will have better VRAM than 3000 series, but otherwise buy now if you want the upgrade now. :)

I brought my 1080ti when they were dumped on the market prior to turing launch and definitely did not regret that with the turing prices and space invaders.
