30xx Series Founders Edition

Have to say I'm not loving the power connector adaptor on mine - it is worse as the 12 pin is 90 degree rotated on the 3070 as well - didn't think it would bother me but it is a bit awkward looking.

I noticed that! it is rotated for the PCIe connectors compared to their previous cards. My cables have been in the same position for years. Didn't like getting twisted to fit.

Once in my case, I can't really notice it much, since my window is tinted, and I don't care for the glowing logo
 
Anyone can make a cable if that’s what you mean but it isn’t a part of the ATX standard as far as I am aware (yet). I think nvidia have to approve any cables to be officially supported but it’s not like they are going to be able to tell either way.

@N19h7m4r3 did you put that tape on the cables or did it come like that on the adaptor?

Also you didnt check out my informative DPD update I got today! :confused:

It came with that little info piece of tape on there.

Just noticed your DPD update. Lol I swear they forgot about it, and realised they had to scan it again.

Edit: I also really need to upgrade my system haha!
My 5820K is handicapping this card like mad. Getting 50% lower CPU tests in 3DMark tests compared to a friend with a Ryzen 2700X.

Yeah you need a Ryzen even a 3600 would do you rightly.

Defo, since this is a semi-proper workstation, and the place that sells the Founder cards have some sweet bundles. Might grab the 5950X bundle with motherboard, and 32GB 3200Mhz ram, with the Wraith cooler.

Then just swap out my Noctua D15s, and also get a new PCIe Gen 4 SSD.

Also means when NVIDIA finally add Smart Access Memory I'm covered there also.
 
Apologies if this has already been noted somewhere in this thread but how long do nvidia typically sell the Founders editions for? Could I still get a 3070 in the spring or is that unknown?
