What do you expect stock levels will be for the RTX 3070 launch. Will it be better when compared to the RTX 3080.

It will be just as bad if not worse

Get your posts ready for the "where is my card" in the 20k queue pre-order thread.

Nvidia and AIBs have had more time to get 3070 stock ready... maybe there'll be stock

It's a fair point, I was off the mark. It will be a 30k pre-order queue instead

I did expect to get another: Update Queue Position today? Guess nothing shipped in or out as yet, they did say we would be updated as stock is shipped and the queue is amended. I don't blame OC for any of this, just wish we had better communication on the situation.
I have pre-ordered the Lian-Li fans and ASUS ROG STRIX RTX3090, sad days

Funny how nvidia sold them on their own site for that though.

For all of 0.5 seconds.

About the same as all other resellers selling AIB models then, but at at least they stayed at £649 on nvidias site when they released another batch later on.

I guess nvidia can sell cheaper as there's no middleman.

is the founders edition better than the release version ? i always assumed it was worse than the later ones but i might have got the wrong end of the stick.

I would say you got it right, but maybe we both are wrong. Nah!

Still no stock from Gigabyte? This is starting to get ridiculous :rolleyes:

This is so annoying, i finally got to afford this new card (3080) along with building a new pc but nvidia is sleeping :/ should i give up and look for another video card? I want to build a new pc from the scratch my budget is around 2500 pounds, im hyper for it but nvidia be like "nope"

In the past 3rd party cards have more often than not, outperformed founders edition cards with cooling solutions. This time around it seems to be a lot closer.
I can't speak for the 20 series cards, but the 1080 founders edition had quite poor cooling and it's not too hard to get one to thermal throttle, on 3rd party cards it wasn't a problem at all, mine's never thermal throttled with mild overclocking. This time round FE cards seem to be outperforming some 3rd party cards, but all round it seems fairly close.

It's a shame because on that budget you could include a 3080 no problem and any other option is going to be a lesser option. Having said that the 3070 is looking pretty decent but will probably be just has hard to get your hands on. It's all about what you want, I understand your dilemma though, that would leave me with a sour taste in my mouth when the next card up is within the price range...
If you really can't wait to get gaming or whatever, personally I'd buy the system you want but with a crappy graphics card just to keep you going for a few months until the 3080's available, then buy the 3080 and sell the crappy graphics card. You'd loose a bit of money but you could still do what you want to do in the mean time at least...

Ignore this post, I messed up and don't know how to delete...

Unless you're an NVIDIA die-hard with a distinct fear of missing out there is no reason not to wait and see what the Radeon card is going to offer.

History would lead us to believe that it won't compete, but then what happened with the Ryzen CPU finally being viable will happen at some point with their GPUs vs NVIDIA. It could be this generation, leaks would have you believe so but we won't know for sure until reviewers can speak on it.

Maybe OCUK will let you jump the queue if your spending that amount on a full system.
