Yes but the 4080 is a **** card this time round.

3000 were also huge improvements vs 2000..even the affordable £650 3080
again this time no chip shortage no mining not much scalping opportunity
unless Nvidia has only 500-600 of them in stock

Here is my prediction, let's see how this goes.

I believe that you will be able to buy a FE card and also have a good choice of other cards available to buy at 2.30pm today, so 30 mins after launch.

Yeah that's what I bet as well, all these 'stock will sell out' messages from stores is just a scare tactic in order to lure us into panic buying

All you have to do is press F12 on the product page to get the Chrome console open, search "js-totalPrice" and you'll find the current price.

You'll be pleased to know the Strix 4090 is actually only £2300 not £2400, bargain

That's the none oc model then and the oc has a £100 bonus prize?

My educated guess would be there's 10,000 actual buyers in the UK for a card this afternoon, and that a lot of that number will be sated by a large stock of FEs. Will be interesting to see what happens as the day progresses.

I am not sure there are 10,000 4090s available for people to buy today though..........

The £1699 "cheapo" peasant edition, likely for me

Some people have their block already, pre orders started weeks ago.

Nice now rush normally I am lazy and wait until I have access to the prebuilt options but not sure the extra cash is going to be worth it over the FE this time around.

I can see Nvidia having thousands ready of their own card.

Me neither. But I think there's probably something close. And not everyone sits on their F5 at 2pm. I'm still optimistic those of us who want one will get one today.

Oh yeah you're right, didn't even check that...

Maybe that's because OcUK still has a few 1000 people waiting on their Strix 3080/3090 non-OC pre orders still, did they ever make any?

There is no cheap "peasant" edition. Cheapest card on ocuk is £1759 and thats the Inno 3x which they don't have many of. They go up in price from there.

Probably, there will be a lot of people like me who are browsing them but not planning on buying yet.

It does feel like NVIDIA is not giving the AIBs much room to move with regard to increasing the performance of the FE. Perhaps this also added to the EVGA decision.

I doubt its a live number, more likely "people who have visited recently"

No it actually says 9918 looking at this item right now . obviouisly i cant say who it is. its live as it fluctuates along with others

It's the bots revving up

I know exactly which one you're talking about, just been on it myself. Getting pinged by bots worldwide more than likely.

anyone managed to buy a 4090 so far?
