well acording to that post the xtreme power limit is less then the master..which makes no sens so if that is legit. that means they have not roled out a bios yet.

You got my old place. Guessing cancellations as I went from 128 to 126
Honestly, if AMD have decent stock levels it's looking more likely I'll end up getting one of them.
EDIT - considering just cancelling and waiting until I can order something in stock.
Haha, crazy that so many people are cancelling but I’ve just cancelled mine, will see what AMD bring out or wait till the 3080 20gb versions come out.

10850k , save £100 and manually overclock those 10 cores. Aorus Elite AC is £200 on sale here. Would be perfect . Ultra/Master if you got the cash but not really worth it .
****
As pictures show , Xtreme is 3 X 8 pin. Have no doubt bios update will come with stable drivers . Fingers crossed
****
Asus and gigabyte have fully automated production . Fact that they've ALL for Their own PCB, out- specially gigabyte and Asus with Gaming /TUF cards is amazing . Nvidia really do hold it so close to their chest . Also profit on cards is not very high for AIB
Requested to cancel mine too. The queue isn't high but there don't seem to be many shipments right now. If they do come in to stock then great, if not can wait for AMD or 20GB if it's not too far away.
Seems to me Aorus / Gigabyte are more interested in shipping a cute robot toy than a card made well that dominates the competition, wait apologies shipping? No the xtreme doesn't even exist!
I also hope while Gigabyte are looking internally at this farce they turn towards Overclockers, because I wouldn't give a fig about my xtreme being so late to the party had I not paid top money for it a month ago and still only bough vapour ware.
Two thing's I learnt from this purchase, never use Gigabyte again and where possible avoid Over Clocker's in future as personally never experienced anything like this purchasing something that's supposed to release good endorphins, at this point I actually feel totally neutral about my card arriving it doesn't even look good for the extortionate extra money paid for vs a stock FE or Cheap rrsed Zotac @MSRP.

Gigabyte have always shipped Aorus cards after launch, with their gigabyte cards being first. Spend more time with design etc .
Slowest to the party if Galax HOF cards .. but damn they are beautiful

I will add that the pictures from that dude who got the xtreme in New Zealand I believe had to frankenstein the card into the case - I *think* he mentioned a one point only having 2 of the 3 power connectors running - no clue if thats when he ran the GPU-Z - hopefully the card will do 450W+ and be a balling card, but I could not take the chance and with being plum last I fancy my chances elsewhere - good luck to everyone still in the Xtreme queue hope they scream along!
Bought the card because it had the best looking cooling solution performance and 3 phase power, the listed specs are slower than the Strix OC which is cheaper, for me I don't care how it looks its a computer and this is a GPU that sits in my computer case, last time I checked no one ever came over to my house and said "Hey take me now thats so hot, my god your GPU is huge!" Rather just have the fps in VR which this cards not looking like doing anything special for the huge extra cost, add in Nvidia are gonna bone early adopters much sooner than usual I dont see any point of any 10gb 3080 on the 8nm, AMD are going to offer similar for much less around the same delivery window and for the same £900 in Early 2021 I can get a 7nm version (Ti or super) if AMD haven't put out an XTX 3090 slayer.

Oc3D did a review of the Strix. Heat wise Gigabytes Gaming OC can cool the same, then you've got the Aorus being much cooler... Wondering if Asus will go 4 slots next time .
As for AMD. If they are like Fury, Polaris and Navi, will take a few months for AIB to have their own PCB and will be reference cards for a while. Not that their current triple fan and triple slot cooler isn't to snuff at . Get feeling they still run warm .
Just wish Nvidia went 7nm
I went from queue position 1 to.... queue position 1
Well hold on in there. There are a 1000 people behind you hoping you cancel!
Heavy is the head that wears the crown. At least you didn't go backwards!I went from queue position 1 to.... queue position 1
Yeah. There's no way if the rumors are true that the Xtreme will stay capped at 370. Gigabyte will roll out a BIOS update. It's just a matter of when...
As for the 10850k, I already have the 10900k as it was an over-purchase from work (brand new) and I managed to snag it for free. So a free CPU. I was also looking at the Z490 Arous Master but I'm also looking at the ASUS ROG Strix Z490-E and still not decided. :\
Was looking at the Master build and how they needed a brace because it sagged, so I'm probably going to have to buy one too as the Xtreme is little bulkier.
So @GIGA-Man any further news on the Aorus 3080 and 3090 shipments?
My queue position went from 13th to 12th on the RTX 3090 Master, which will of been a cancellation. I can wait, as long as we are kept up to date on what's happening.

Perhaps the immense OcUK power to get hands on cards was not able to reach gigabyte this time?

Go z490 master .. beefy VRM setup! UK RMA/repair center and build will match .
Seems with master and Xtreme card only difference is 3x 8 pin Vs 2 . Master and Xtreme are 380 as Vision is 370
but some reason gigabyte have limited their white cards to 3 years. Thinking with creators in kind it'll be running 24/7 periodsI have the z490 master motherboard with an i7 10700k and its lovely, the motherboard is very well built and very sturdy! Now I just need my 3080 master to go in it.. I already have a gpu brace and the included anti sag bracket and have two 8 pin separate power cables ready to go!

Appreciate it fellas. Z490 Master it is
I shouldn't need any separate power cables but will 100% need a bracket for the Xtreme.

There is a small number of AORUS cards that shipped, they should be booked in anytime now. Next shipment will be the end of next week, numbers for all the AORUS cards are still very low.
We're are having to try and balance the production percentage against the number of back orders, EAGLE and GAMING OC back orders are much higher.
It's the only way to be fair to everyone while the overall number of cards we can build are still so low.
Is this shipment for masters or xtreme? If its just masters is there any new info on when we will see the xtreme?
