So this is a dilemma and it's probabaly an absurd one.

I have managed to secure a FE 3090 and a Asus 3070 out of a whim this morning just to have them there.

I am not looking to scalp these, I edit 4K videos and the one I was really looking for was the FE 3080.

Now do I keep these or do I just cancel the orders so someone else can order them?

The other idea could be to find someone who wanted the 3090 but only secured a 3080 and wants to trade and pay the difference? Would that seem doable?

Seems like the most sensible options, well I got a friend buying the 3070 as he's been struggling.

The 3090 I will keep a hold of and see if I can secure the 3080FE in the next 14 days.

Do FE versions hold there value better if I wanted to sell much later down the line? Not sure if FE versions are limited or can be brought all year round?

The last graphics card I brought was a GTX 680 which I hae been running for 7 years so this is going to be a massive boost.

That's great to know, I will see how the next couple of weeks go and hpefully secure a 3080 if not guess i'll be building a new rig with the 3090.

Just a shame I missed the 5900x as it was in stock at currys this morning at a very good price as that's the only thing I am missing now.
