I will 100% back this, Inno3D are a solid choice, heck they were a solid choice back with the 9800 GT's too...
And for this forum it was the fastest 3070 on the Heaven bench by a good amount coming up to overclocked 2080 Ti's which is quite impressive considering the memory bandwidth advantage on a 2080 Ti.

I'm interested in how quiet all these cards are (mainly coil whine but also fan noise). I hope the review embargo isnt at the time of launch for the partner cards. Bad enough deciding where to be and when at 2pm.

No coil whine on my Inno3D and cooling has not been an issue but if you do push over 70% fan speed it does become rather audiable.
Again proving the fake msrps. Give it a few more weeks and they will say £1750 and the 12GB 4080 £1000 and 16GB £1300.
This is Nvidia at its best now, do the introduction of the cards give fake msrps and make it look like a massive gain while prices double for real 80 class. Honestly there hasn't been a time better to send a message to nvidia that we will not play that game, if not expect the 5090 next time to be £3k and 80 class at £2k.
Anyways as we all know they will sell out at first and we have to wait and see what really happens with the prices and demand, if demand remains high then expect the aib cards all to sit at £2.5k soon for the 4090 and better models higher and the FE drops come in tiny drops to feed the price increases.

I've been spoiled with my Suprim 3080. My whole rig is silent. I'd be gutted spending so much and getting a loud buzzer like the Strix.
Gigabyte looks like a solid option in the mid tier and a silent fan mode, vapour chamber and extra year warranty (4).

Even the ‘fake msrp’ wasn’t great either!

Way down deep in the middle of the Congo, A hippo took a 4090, after the embargo. He stuck it in the PCIE slot and he danced a dainty tango. The rhino said, "I know... we'll call it Um Bongo!" Um Bongo, Um Bongo, they play it in the Congo! The python picked the Asus Strix, The marmoset the MSI, the parrot painted packets that the whole caboodle landed in. So when it comes to sun and fun and goodness in the jungle, they all prefer the sunny, funny one they call Um Bongo!"

I've said before but just as likely prices go up after this launch, than down. If your on the fence it's probably better to go all in now. Worst that can happen is you've had several early months enjoyment and its cost you a few hundred max, worst case you've missed out on a significantly more powerful card than anything else available or paying significantly more for it, much later on.

I think about 20 minutes, 2 hours max. I don't think it will be minutes or seconds.

Do the FE cards usually have tamper-seals? Anyoneknow of any that have run into warranty issues with RMAs if they take the cooler off?
Hopefully, I cba with another situation like the 3xxx series

I've put back my afternoon work to start at 3pm!
Sitting around at Nvidia HQ, in the last earning call (August) they said "so our strategy is to sell well below -- well -- sell-in well below the current sell-through levels in the marketplace to give the channel an opportunity to correct. We'll do that for a couple of quarters or so" (sell-in is how many GPUs they sell) and they also say "we took into account had to reflect some of the purchasing that we did a supply back more than a year ago" so it looks like the lead times for somethings can be up to a year.
Basically Nvidia want average GPU prices to be the same as $600 consoles...
Average mind you, so that means they're looking towards something like xx70's series cards costing at least as much as a console.

Don't fool yourself they will be gone in under a minute and that's due to the system catching up. The hype train is at full again if you read around the many tech forums and social media, everyone that has the money is getting one. Then I'm also sure the scalpers are going to jump on this one too as the AIB pricing is going threw the roof compared to the FE. We are back to the same silly games as with the 30 series.

My worst fear is somewhere taking my money and been put on a back log for weeks/months when I could have gone somewhere else. I'll be there 2pm ready (unless I see a decent partner card at a price I feel sensible).

I've made sure work is done and dusted at 1pm!
Next day for delivery... well I'm working on it lol.
I fear you're right.
