Yes I did thank you so it all seems to be working fine! I wear a Garmin watch and the Telegram app notifications vibrate the watch as soon as I get them so this is probably my best chance at the minute.Out of interest did you receive notifications today on the telegram app for the FE drops in Germany ? obviously no good to you in the UK but at least you know it works and when they do drop will be ready

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080Ti to be "available" on June 3rd, RTX 3070Ti on June 10th

I went to an Nvidia tech day a couple of years ago where they said it costs around one billion to bring a new GPU architecture to market. They are very reliant on the revenue from gaming to fund development across their markets. This why their GPUs have to be multipurpose; gaming, AI, ML.
Googling Nvidia R&D gives: "In their 2021 fiscal year, Nvidia spent 3.92 billion U.S. dollars on research and development (R&D), an increase from the 2.83 billion U.S. dollars that was spent on R&D in 2020."
They are now spending almost three times what they spent five years ago. Clearly a chunk of that will be down to expansion into other tech areas.

Perfect , yeah my phone was going off with the notifications earlier ... i did click on a link which put me in a queue on the website but backed out as just wanted to see where it takes me
But sounds like your all setup and ready to go , you will get a FE card on the next drop as long as your quick to the notifications as yesterday the 3090 was for sale for at least 10 minutes .... a very small amount of time but still have the chance and putting yourself in the best position. Many of us have got an FE card using the app so it defiantly works , wish you all the best on next drop
Cheers dude and thanks for the info, I reckon at any given time (unless I'm asleep) I can hit that link within 10 seconds so hopefully I'll be successful. At this point I'd take a 3080ti or 3090 so I'll just hit the first link that shows up and pray.Perfect , yeah my phone was going off with the notifications earlier ... i did click on a link which put me in a queue on the website but backed out as just wanted to see where it takes me

A little over dramatic, don't you think? There are cards on this very site that can give close to 2080ti or 3090 performance, albeit at inflated prices (some of which could be offset be lowering prices of other components). People who don't have money to burn just need to be patient.
PC gaming is in a bad way right now, console gaming is the better option if gaming is all you care about right now, but even those aren't easy to get hold of (PS5 I mean, not been following the Xbox situation)
Maybe but that's how it feels to a lot of us.

Which Telegram channel for UK alerts? The only one I can see is a US only one 
You need to install Telegram from the app store once installed search for FE PartAlert and subscribe to it.Which Telegram channel for UK alerts? The only one I can see is a US only one
It will come up with Euro alerts, including UK.
Beat me to it, install the Telegram app then go here on your phones web browser and that should automatically open the Telegram app and allow you to join the group:

Thanks folks
You can only get one, so decide what you want. Honestly, I can't see why a normal hammer would get a 3080Ti or 3090 over a 3080 when considering performance/price.
Seen a couple on eBay but that's it.
3080, 3080ti or a 3090 would all do you proud. Higher end AMD offerings better in some cases but currently without decent RT / pending FSR
Digest some reviews / benchmarks and make your own mind up
Fair, I'm a team green lad so I'll just spam whatever link comes up first out of 3080/3080ti/3090, be lucky to own any of them right now.3080, 3080ti or a 3090 would all do you proud. Higher end AMD offerings better in some cases but currently without decent RT / pending FSR

Must admit I'd probably for a 6800XT or 6900XT if I had the chance, especially if FSR is even half as good as the hype would have it. Ray Tracing is not a feature I'd be leaping at the chance to pay a premium for, although in the less-likely-than-winning-the-lottery chances that prices stabilise back towards MSRP in the future (haha) I'd go with a 3080 vs a 6800XT for the additional features.
Meh, it's all pie in the sky right now anyway.
