Again, good news!! Happy for ya

The FE's are absolute quality this time round

That's also why I wanted one, plus MSRP and never had an issue with a reference/FE before.

Happy days, Studio drivers with 10-bit colour support, for my little projects, and decent gaming performance with my G-sync panel!

must have been a smaller batch of 3070's for them to go that quick compared to last time. congrats to whoever got one they are great cards

Annoyingly I checked like 1 minute before the drop, then ~5 minutes later and literally went out of stock as I was clicking through :s

There must be plenty of stock now of 3090 FE given you can add 2 to your basket and they have been up for sale a while.

eBay also now positively flooded with stock too!

no drop yet for 3080

At work, been looking at the page all day then get called into a meeting, when I came back thought I'd missed it :eek:

No real rush I'm 1218 in the Q for a 5900x lol

If you look at the FE backorder at the same place they seem to be getting in as many 3090's as they do 3080s' if not more. Indicates that the full cores on 3090 yields are actually okay so milking it before they need to put it in the 3080Ti. That combined with the price. Most people can build entrie systems for that price.

Managed to grab a 3090! Happy days!

Congrats, glad you got one, as I know you wanted one since release.
Just need the 3080 to drop now please.

Here's hoping the scalpers piled on without knowing there would be plenty available.

Fingers crossed mate! I've got friends still trying since launch as well.
The stock situation is dire, but I'm glad it seems they had a bigger restock today.

40 mins after getting mine, the site was still showing 3090's left

I'm not buying yet, I just wanted to see if I could put one actually in my basket.. sold out? What was that? 10 mins?

15 minutes I made it. Still 3090's in stock as of writing thats a whole hour.

edit: gone now.

kevman · 17 Nov 2020 at 16:19

Sold out

Shaolin Chicken · 17 Nov 2020 at 16:25

Yep no more FE's left, well done to all those who got one.

RockSteddy · 17 Nov 2020 at 17:12

Cone on FE 3080's, I've go a nice fat Tax rebate cheque waiting to be spent!!!

Happy to have picked up a 3070 FE. It was that or a 6800/6800XT, which would have been overkill for my 60hz panel anyway. I also have a feeling the nvidia reference boards will be better quality than the AMD ones.

8myers8 · 17 Nov 2020 at 20:11

i got a 3070 FE for one off my pc , i used Telegram to see when the stock came up etc ....

AMD's recent Reference PCB boards have actually been pretty solid. there most recent models like 5700XT had one of the best boards and AIB's downgrounded to save money, likewise for the Radeon VII, both over specced. That said, can't go wrong with 3070FE at all, looks to be a very nice card.
