Ah fair enough. Seems a few people with the sig and I am thinking how long is this competition or whatever it is going on for... Lol
Shame it will invalidate your warranty. Nvidia say you can only use their adapter.
Ha, yeah and good luck to them proving it.
Nope, on the warranty card it say it MAY invalidate, not WILL invalidate. Check the Jayztwocents video at the 3:50 mark.

Actually they didn't, but a nice bit of hyperbole there
'may void your manufacturer's warranty', is not will void.

I'm waiting for the pre-order button. I've been without a gaming PC for almost a month. With the AMD desktop 4000 cpus and RTX 3000 so close I didn't bother replacing my faulty GTX 1080 SC.

I really don't understand the logic behind this connector. Its pitched as delivering more power - but that's nonsense as you can clearly see in the video that the 12 pins terminates into 2x6 pins of the 8 pins connectors at the PSU end.
Electrical power is simply determined by the voltage and resistance of the cable and connector. The physical size of the connector is irrelevant, and actually a smaller connector should only be able to take smaller gauge wires which would lead to increased resistance not less.
The only benefit I can see is it taking up smaller space on the board but power claims from it are surely nonsense.

I've waited over 3 years to upgrade, I can wait another 3 weeks, or months. Especially with this launch; a massive heatsink and a decent price - Nvidia are coming across a little bit too keen.
When the pre-order button will be available for 3080 at Nvidia store?

Was literally repeating what I saw in Bitwits video.

Life lesson #274 - never, ever, repeat anything Kyle from Bitwit says.
I'm coming from a 770, crossing the 5 year mark, good for you being able to wait though!
