Okay so if you are not planning on overclocking then it doesn't really matter which one? I need the card for work and do not really understand overclocking that much - whenever I try and do anything in my bios it ends up in disaster!

Regarding warranty, UK consumer law states we have 6 years of warranty and rights regardless, which is true, I did this with Corsair after arguing enough and getting through to a manager, who had no hesitation to replace and refund my faulty Dominator ram (after 5 and half years).
Just pick the coolest and quietist one then or if they dont bother you just go with best warranty. After that its just a lottery on how fast your card goes even ignoring overclocking.
Yeah good luck arguing that with say the likes of Pallit and dealing with people in Hong Kong.
Some ram has a 999 month warranty. I had no issue getting ram replacement with Corsair when a stick went faulty.

I forgot to mention this was with Amazon, who let me keep the ram, send it back to Corsair (who replaced it no issues), but Amazon refunded me full amount. But just wangle consumer law in-front of them and they break at the knees.
May be a different site but the code is a Founders.
I've fallen out with my watch! I got 2 shipping notification alerts come through to it late last night, so read them bleary eyed when I awoke this morning all excited that my MSI Trio 3090 had shipped as well as a small order I placed yesterday. No such luck 
it was just yesterdays small order had shipped and for some reason my watch showed it twice

Just saw a video by Moore's Law is Dead and the atrocity that Nvidia pulled with 3080/3090 chips. They were withholding chips from AiB's. Gross.
They shipped less than 1/10th of their total available quantity of GPU chips.
Yeah, so towards the end of October they will flood the market with 3090's and 3080's (and especially 3070s); to negate AMDs launches.

You might be right, I had in my mind Hong Kong but same difference. You have to send your card back to Taiwan if it goes faulty.
Clearly saving them in case they need to quickly dump the market with loads of 20Gb 3080S/ti cards next month after AMD's launch,.
If anything it is worse as I think most commercial hauls to that side of the world either go through Singapore or Hong Kong
I had to send a faulty MSI monitor to Poland and that was bad enough, took about a month to get it back. What makes it worse is they didn't even repair the issue, and then MSI and the retailer (not Overclockers) refused to replace/refund or fix the problem and now I'm stuck with a faulty monitor and £400 sized hole in my pocket.
I know that's totally unrelated but I like to warn people about the type of scummy people MSI are.
I take everything that 'gentleman' claims with a big pinch of salt, it's fairly obvious he's in some way affiliated with AMD and has a very set agenda that and I don't overly like his smug attitude but that's just a personal bias ;P
That aside NVIDIA did screw this launch, AMD now have the opportunity to show us how it should be done.
Cancelled my 3090 Strix OC yesterday (was 158 in the queue) so queue positions are changing, be interesting to see if others on the same queue get an updated email.
Decided with the news that Nvidia is swapping to TSMC's 7nm node to wait for that. I think a 3080ti 20GB on TSMC 7nm card is very likely at this point - it should have much lower power consumption, higher clocks and better availability. Tbh I doubt I'd have had my Strix 3090 OC much before the new year anyway.
This launch has been terrible and I'm glad to be done with it. Roll on big navi and the 7nm versions of the 3080/3090.

Awesome News! Love it when I hear someone in front of me leaves the queue,I hope there’s many more I don’t know about
