*** NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3090 SERIES STOCK SITUATION - NO COMPETITOR DISCUSSION ***

I'd highly recommend the MSI Gaming X Trio.

- The quietest graphics card I've ever had, and that's coming from an almost silent MSI 1080. I am really fussy about noise, and this card is amazingly quiet.
- No coil whine.
- A beast of a card for gaming.
- Pair it with an GSYNC/VRR monitor, and it's awesome.

I'd be careful with store prices, especially as it becomes more available. Anything £1,700+ is a ripoff tbh.

I gotta say I'm hugely impresses with my 3090 FE.

All I've done is maxed out power and temp sliders and 50mhz on core clock and my card runs at a constant 2025mhz at 50-55 degrees. Fan curve is pretty much standard and goes up to 60% max.

Very, very impressed and so glad I cancelled here and got the FE on last weeks huge drop, cyberpunk is going to look incredible.

With you all the way, very impressive. 1980mhz straight out the box without touching the sliders.
I wanted the Strix, but the stock and pricing is crazy. I followed you last week once you posted on that big drop, cheers :)
 
Couple of questions about the 3090, as i'm considering getting one.

Those of you who have got them or are getting them, what are your use cases is it just gaming? Or do you have productivity uses for it as well? My interest is like 90% gaming.

The price of the 3090 elsewhere can be found for like £1400 - 1700, now lets assume the 3080ti does exist and comes out at the rumoured price tag of £1k, by the time you add brexit tax and scarcity tax it wouldn't be far of the price of a 3090, and the 3090 will still be the better card right?

I've currently got a 750w 80gold psu, is this enough to run a 3090?

Any answers would be great, cheers guys.

Mine is just for gaming.
You will need to upgrade your power supply. A EVGA 1000W G3 are cheap
Which ever one you buy, make sure it has 3 X 8 pin or you will regret it.

Gaming plus using the NVENC encoder on OBS.

I got it purely because I wanted to push my 4k screen and maybe ray-tracing as far as possible on games like Cyberpunk. A ti will probably be only a small amount slower if it comes out so I guess it comes down to affordability for you.
 
Getting a bit impatient, still waiting for the 3090 TUF OC so I can at last start building my system instead of looking at boxes and parts :rolleyes:
Queue no: 3 for a while now...
 
Again no news, so whats that like 8 strix in 2 weeks, awesome ocuk, im giving them till next wkend to get a gd delivery for once or im out
 
I've just been told I cant swap my card over for one that is in stock and pay their inflated price different. Looks like I'm just stuck in a queue until they get the stock in. This company is so backward, its almost like they are deliberately annoying their customer base at this point

That is just ridiculous, this company is finished in my eyes
 
I expect the mallet to be shown to the higher up staff if they don't sort the mess out they have created themselves by being silent on stock situations.

Why don’t you just buy it and cancel the pre order?

Well, my Palit Gamerock OC arrived and after much faffing about is now fitted. Wow, it's a big bulky card and with the included support had to mess with 6 expansion slots to fit it all in. Did some initial testing and looking good for 4K @ 60FPS in AC: Valhalla. Power draw is higher than I expected - at the wall figures though: 665W Performance mode (1995mhz), 640W Quiet mode (1950mhz). That's at 97% GPU / 18% CPU usage. A beast compared to the 360W my 1080 was pulling. Taking into account loses from wall to psu, I reckon it's utilising my 750W around 75%.

You don't need the sag bracket they provided, they add them with every card they sell, the GameRock has a metal frame so never sags and not needed, it's there if you want to use it as a show piece more than a sag bracket for this card. As long as your case is solidly built and has a good PCI slots where you screw it to the case you won't have any issues without the bracket. One of the few AIB cards that doesn't need it because of the way it's built with the metal frame inside the cooler to PCB area.
