Hi All, long time lurker, like many.

There is a new video showing off the Asus Strix OC RTX 3080:

https://youtu.be/PBIcVUPVVC0

shows off a few angles and gives some benchmarks. getting excited for my pre-order of this card!

And here's the corresponding post, with a lot more detail (after a little translation) and a bunch more (teardown!) photos.

I think I far prefer "light chase" (my shoddy Google translate) to "ray trace".

They purposely restricted the performance of one of their lower cards to make the top, more expensive card look better.

Unfortunately for them they aren't the only AIB.

Think there'll be more FE this morning?

Think there'll be more FE this morning?

fingers crossed, but I'm not hopeful.

 

[Kieran813]

How long do they normally sell FE cards for? Never been able to buy immediately at launch before.

Wish there was a way to find out when stock is due.
I'm looking now at the RTX 3080 ROG STRIX GAMING OC.

Does anyone know what times the 3080 FE cards dropped these past few days? I heard they have gone on sale on and off, but around what times have they been restocking?

Yesterday it was at ~5am-5:30 am that it went live but I can't remember if that was CEST or BST.

whats most strange is every so often it changes from out of stock to notify me.

I've only seen out of stock so far but today is the first time I'm trying.

It has been changing all night - I've been checking periodically since midnight (working a night shift).

Does anyone know if there's a way to put your payment info in on the Nvidia site before purchasing? Most other online retailers have the option, but can't figure out how to on their site.

What page are you on? I went to shop GPUs and filtered for 3080 manufactured by Nvidia.

I found this the most reliable.

@Transform_IT
Ah, dang. Thanks.

 

[Kieran813]

So I'm looking at the Out of stock under the FE price to see if it turns into a green button?

yes - but when it says notify, it also goes green... which when it first does it, it gets you too excited!
