Poll: Ampere owners - do you own a FE/reference or AIB model?

[Nexus18]

As per subject title.

Be interesting to see just how many people on here own a FE, obviously we are a niche forum of "enthusiasts" so won't be representative for the mass majority of PC gamers.....

FE 3080Ti with the fancy EK water block if that still counts. Made a right racket on air.

Yup doesn't matter if modded for water cooling etc. This is just to see how many people from here were able to successfully get their hands on a FE card.

FE here. And honestly, if I could get one, then anybody could.

3080FE, was no way I was gonna pay the silly AIB prices Also do really like quality build and design of the FE this time so thats a good bonus

 

[montymint]

for the time I owned the 3080, was an FE for me.

 

[Orcvader]

FE. It was the only way getting the card at a sensible price.

Agreed. First time i tried I bought a 3080 fe. All you need is patience and everything set up and ready on your mobile.

3080 Ti FE, undervolted, fast and quiet.

Well chuffed.

Would be more chuffed if it didn't cost me twice what I normally (I think those times are gone forever) pay for a GPU!

Was never, ever going to pay the extortionate AIB prices.

AiB the 3080 Gen 1 Aorus Master. Had it over 12 months and sent her straight to the mines. She's still mining stronk. I paid £950, but did buy 2x packs each or 1mm, 2mm and 3mm Priemum thermal pads. Made temps so much better.

Palit 3070 Gaming Pro. Very grateful for Gibbo’s tipoff about stock levels on release day!! £512 seemed a touch steep at the time but looks a bargain in hindsight, especially as it’s been earning it’s keep when not gaming.

Had a 3080 FE earlier this year, on a 3090 AIB now, also refuse to pay extortionate prices, good thing Nvidia didn't forgot the UK market unlike a certain company.

3090 Palit gamingpro on release day! Can't believe i've had this card for over a year already and it's still worth more than what i bought it for! Madness!

3080 FE.

Cooler unit had an annoying fan noise. So forced me to watercool. Didn't want to spend effort returning, as it's a very good chip that underclocks nicely compared to some others Ive seen...

I feel you, as soon as brexit went through AMD forgot about us lol.

Most of the world are not part of the EU, so I've yet to see a valid reason why any company would choose not to sell their products in the UK.

Blaming brexit is pretty lazy argument tbh.

3-6 months to sort out supply lines and reinstate the UK shop would have been less than ideal, but understandable.

One whole year later and AMD showing no signs of ever reopening the UK shop?? Inexcusable, really.

3080 FE, for an unbelievably cheap upgrade when factoring in the sale of my old card.

Was only ever going to be an FE, wasn't paying those prices.

 

[pagepack]

I would think a lot of the folk who chose aib, are those who bought close to mrsp on release or waited in the OC queue.

Only a rich deluded gamer would pay £1500 for a aib 3080.

 

[behemothlair]

3080Ti FE, expensive enough not a chance I would pay any more than that.
