If there's no FE drop today, I'm gonna wait it out until 7900 XTX benchmarks are out.

We're usually after EU drops no? Haven't seen any today
Loses out on a fair customer range though, those that work and play on same machine.
The last drop was to Germany on Nov 2nd

The mods already asked us to use the other thread specifically about the issue (though they unhelpfully didn't provide a link and people will just keep posting here anyway) https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/t...stine-condition.18961108/page-7#post-35991626More meltdowns...

but how will they know .. do they ask for ids or is the purchase linked to your email account?
looks like its a onboard connector issue, possibly nvidia is using a different supplier for the FE onboard connector. seems nvidia only provides the adapter while AIBs are free to source connectors however they wantMore meltdowns...

For someone who "doesn't care" you did just spend a lot posts aggressively harassing someone who should have just immediately told you to stfu. The amount of pent up frustration you have must be immense, because when you go off on one. you really go off on one.

Not for the FE card, but often on eBay listings you will see them advertised as "comes with receipt". If you have the original purchase invoice, I don't think there's anything to stop you from using the warranty in the original buyers name and say you moved house.

Not unless they ask for proof of identity (show original buyer name at the new address)...
If it was a store receipt with no name on it then may be it could work.

Say you don't have a passport or drivers license. It would be easy to change the name on a utility bill, print it off and take a picture.

This is exactly what happened.
People jumped to conclusions about me. ( which is ironic considering the open admissions of mining)
May still keep it, just weighing up my options.
Over now, but in future I recommend people chill out a bit. This is after all just a forum about a graphics card.

Lots of gamers mined while they weren't gaming to recover some of the cost.

That's called Fraud and has serious implications if caught. I hate Scalpers with a passion, pond life in my eyes but the "only" 4090 that fits my rig is the FE which I have a 3090FE in at present. I saw a 4090FE go on a certain online marketplace bought in that last evening drop. AIB cards had become readily available in stock so I bluntly pointed out they would get stuck with it if they didn't bale quick and I had the money if I could collect right away. They folded and I paid £200 over, but I will get the whole cards cost back in a single work render so whatever. As soon as that evening drop happened it forced my hand as I can't keep playing silly buggers watching Telegram 24/7. Hopefully this is it now as if selling on "the Bay" you are looking at £170 selling fees minimum at RRP so anything less than £1870 and its not even break even as the fulfilment company charges delivery.
Good luck all you still in the hunt, it's a real shame the AIB cards are so big cause I can't be the only one who can't consider them for case fitment issues.

Unhelpful? Do we have to do everything for you now. A simple request has worked for years but now we need to spoon feed you

Expect plenty to be available on the 3080 launch for those who "miss out". Same tactic as last time when I went for a 3080 and when they went within seconds of the Telegram alert, I bought the 3090.

Do tell? Would I be going to prison for lying about being the original buyer?

If caught, potentially. Fraud Act 2006 - Fraud by false representation is a crime punishable by a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and an unlimited fine.Do tell? Would I be going to prison for lying about being the original buyer?
