Agreed. They have zero info on any card on listed on the website. I ordered a Trio and they removed the listing so it was delayed indefinitely. Gibbo coming through as per usual though. Glad I ordered from here now.

Nope, likely December.
This concerns me: https://www.kitguru.net/components/.../gigabyte-aorus-rtx-2080-xtreme-8g-review/16/

If this is accurate, and it seems to be, based on the fact Kit Guru’s testing matched Gigabyte’s own figures, then how the f is that same cooler going to cope with a Ti chip?! It’ll sound like a Dyson. I hope that this isn’t my experience with the card.
Gibbo, I’m sorry to even have to ask this, but what is the deal with returning the card if it works, but sounds like a Dyson under load?

I’m not sure how KitGuru could be wrong other than having a faulty card, but here’s something not right here. If it was a degree or two hotter and a little bit louder than the Windforce card, I could believe it, but 10C hotter and 7db louder seems absurd.

Guys
Good news, plenty of stock incoming to cover all the backorders, stock should with us Monday.
Any chance for a few 2080ti iChill black hybrids being in there ?
Returning it is fine, I've already shown Gigabyte that Kitguru review and asked exactly the same thing. Awaiting feedback.
Thanks Gibbo.
I could believe it if the Aorus was slightly behind another top end card like Asus, or MSI, but not way behind, and especially not against their own lower end card.
The result of turning out a review like that would simply not be worth it. It goes against the brand values that’s aorus is supposed to represent.
We’ll see what happens. The more I read on this, the more it seems the review card must have been flawed in some way. I’ll report back on Tuesday for anyone interested.

It is quite cold in my home office at this time of year. A fan heater would come in handy until springtime.
Looking at the video review gigabyte confirmed their findings in regard to temps and noise so looks like it won't be a quiet card at all =/
Ha, "perfected"! Who comes up with these fate tempting subject titles? Taking a leaf out of Jensen's playbook it seems. If that KitGuru review is accurate and they don't have a faulty card, the 2080 appears to be the worst AIB of them all in respect to temps and noise. What a joke.
Pretty worried about this card after that KitGuru review, if the same heatsink and cooling solution can't keep a 2080 cool, dread to think how it would cope with a 2080 Ti with 1.5x the core count.
Added to that I was planning on mounting the card vertically in my Phanteks Evolv X to get full effect from the LED fans, but doing so seems to add 5-10C to temperatures according to some testing of thick cards (https://www.reddit.com/r/Phanteks/comments/9rjf4q/evolv_x_vertical_gpu_still_causes_bad_thermals/).
Not sure if I should cancel my order and wait even longer for the Amp Extreme

How can these cards be worse than the older models o.O

It pushes the card closer to the case window so not as much air getting to it. You could try a cablemod vertical pcie bracket to move it much further back but it means the only thing you can have installed in a slot is the gpu.
Bracket works for 3 slot cards but only those with 2 i\o plates on the back, the overhanging shroud variety. Not 3 actual plates at the back like evga FTW3.

I wonder if these new arous 2080ti extreme have the new Samsung ram?
This “Micron RAM might be the problem” rumour is unproven at this stage.
One of us will post up on here when the card goes in their PC. I will be expecting mine to be a similar volume to my Asus Strix 1080, which is one of the early cards that wasn’t the quietest. It’s louder than most of the big 2080Ti cards I’ve seen reviewed from Asus and MSI. If it’s way louder, it’ll be going back and I might even sack the whole idea of getting a 2080Ti.
I have sympathy with vendors like OCUK on this subject because I’m pretty sure they’re as unhappy about this **** as we are, whatever their margin.
