Yeah, I doubt you would be getting a FTW3 at that price!.

The XC3 uses the ICX3 cooling solution from what I've gathered. However, all the retailers I've seen are advertising the XC3.

Heads up, Gigabyte's Windforce and Eagle is believed to be using Reference Board if your after EKWB waterblock .
I think to be honest any of those that doesn't have PCB width exceeding the PCI bracket will be

Really hope we get an early heads up on order/pre-orders.

yeah, that's the XC3 model I believe. Still no further updates on the other EVGA models as of yet, hopefully we get the FTW3 in stock on the 17th!It looks as if the image used for the EVGA “ICX3” card for £659 is actually the image for the FTW3 model shown on EVGA’s site, so I’m in the same boat as you, wondering if the title is incorrect or if the wrong image has been used

I am completely confused by this release. I am wanting a 3090, but have no idea of release time and pricing. Will Nvidia sell the founder editions before the AIB partners or at the same time? What time will the AIB's be ready for purchase? Why no preorder this time?
This all smells of extremely small batches...

It's unlikely there are pre-orders. OcUK are the only site to list pre-orders.
Every other site, video, article says that release is 17th for 3080 at 24th for 3090.

Thanks all for for clarification.
Does anyone have any past experience with Zotac cards? I've only ever used MSI and Gigabyte and I'm trying to make my mind up on which I should go for...
I've never personally had a Zotac card but I have heard a lot of good things about them from people I know who have had them.

zotac arn't bad cards at all tbh, and if you register the card with in 30 days you take advantage of its excellent 5 year warrantry, i had a 2080ti from zotac and all was good, my personal next pick would be evga because they have excellent rma services in case anything goes wrong and have extended warranty too (much like zotac), cards from evga are always built very good and have lasted a good while too

2nd EVGA - never had to RMA a card from them.
I read here that EVGA have closed their UK RMA centre so was leaning towards Zotac - assuming that the price stays the same as it's RRP for the 3080. My current GPU is a Gigabyte Windforce 2070 Super so I'm not sure how that will compare to the "Eagle" model, and the cheapest MSI model is an extra £30 over RRP. I'm not overly fussed on "OC" models either!

only had to rma once and turn around from germany was really fast, had a new ftw3 1080ti and it was great

Thanks for the input! Guess it'll be a shoot-up of whichever I can manage to get into my basket and buy
