More information from Gigabyte on 3080 Master

[JamGeo]

The gigabyte website has more information on the 3080 Master. None of the others have been updated yet. It shows info on the LCD and also that it includes a Dual Bios, it’s nice to be getting information about the cards now

And 3090 performance or near as dam it, it's a heavily factory over clocked card thats had the PCB designed properly for the 3080 not the generic standard that is quite limited and a 4 slot cooler to go with the custom power draw

Queue position 9... Knowing the cards wont ship till at least week 1 of October at the earliest... Wishing my life away...

I’m in the same boat as you. What time did your order go through? Mine was 14:29 and the queue calculator seems to change my position up and down daily

 

[JamGeo]

haha yer my position moves daily too, Original order was 14:31 @Payment the website crashed, was 14:39 before payment went through.....
I'm looking forward to this card I honestly feel the extra £200 is smart money for the 3080's, it should be the fastest factory clocked card and @ 3090 performance and still £500 cheaper.
Not even fussed about the AMD as there are other features I want from Nvidia that AMD don't offer.

yeah, I didn’t mind the cost. I had a 2080 Aorus Xtreme so I was expecting it to be higher than the £749 I think it originally was.
I like how they’ve mentioned that on the page it can be overclocked, as people have reported issues overclocking some of the other ones. With that being said, I’ll be using it to play Valorant, so I won’t be pushing it all the time

I need to stop myself looking at upgrading to the z490 Master mobo

I like this card. Probably between the Master and FE if I get a 3080.

I think OcUK has some type of RMA arrangement with Gigabyte? Remind me, does Gigabyte have UK RMA?

I’m not sure if Ocuk have something set up directly. I had to RMA my 2080 Xtreme because of the LED’s not working and that was sent back to the retailer I got it from and they sent it off for me as it was within a year. I’m sure they were UK based, but as a plus I had the card back within 3 weeks (they did give me a 28 working days estimate)

haha much easier to be open about it than get quizzed later on. She was actually ok about it in all honesty; Think she wants me to get a card just as much as I do to stop me crying about it every day

I was explaining the LCD screen to my partner. I think she stopped listening before I got to the end.

 

[JamGeo]

would one of these fit my case

the card is:

• Card size
  L=319 W=140 H=70 mm
  
  and the case you linked shows up to 381mm so it should be fine but if double check it, just incase

3080 Master spotted in Malaysia. Posted to Reddit but was taken down. If you google search it the images are on google. Maybe some will start to trickle through

Looks like they’re finally coming out.

I’m number 42 on the unofficial queue, so hopefully I’ll see one before retirement

It’s getting exciting! What time did you place your order? I’m sure the unofficial queue doesn’t actually look at the same card before yours but calculates the amount of orders and does a percentage of the card you have. Mine keeps going up but I feel I was quite early on it

 

[JamGeo]

I’m aware the unofficial queue is not indicative, especially since a lot of people haven’t add their orders to it and does not included cancellations. Need to check the exact time, I think it was around 3,07

Mine was processed at 14:29 on the 17th and the queue system now says I’m first for the 3080 master, so I’m unsure as a few days ago I was 10th

 

[JamGeo]

Finally they’ve given an actual update

Looks like 2nd Oct for the Master - from the US rep so take that with a pinch of salt. Either way people in Asia and Australia already have their hands on it so those dates look promising.

nice! Hopefully stock is here around those dates. If you look through the comments it looks like the MSRP for the master is $849.99, nice to have seen that the prices weren’t gouged for the pre orders, I like

Hello all,

I've not commented too much as the info has been limited and I don't want people to get their hopes up only to be let down. The Eagle, Master and Vision 3080 are shipping from us this week should start to cover a limited number of back orders very soon. The Xtreme is looking like it will be 4 weeks before small numbers of stock starts ship. The 3090 versions of these cards will be late October.

They are shipping in very limited numbers and I cannot be more specific than that as the numbers are being split between the whole of EMEA but we expect these numbers to increase as time goes on.

thanks Giga-Man. Glad I stuck with my guns on the Aorus and wasn’t tempted by other readily available cards. Hopefully they start arriving soon
