So, decided on a 3080? Which manufacturer and why?

No idea atm. As much as the FE is a very classy looking card, I do like all the bling so no doubt will go for something in yer face.

Totally with you there. I’ve never been one for a windowed pc case with Christmas tree lights inside. Hide it on the floor out of sight!

Can the FE only be purchased directly from Nvidia? Any idea if they have a purchase limit per person?

^^ I cannot find answer, I would got by past so 1000-2000 series.

I'm somewhere between the FE, Zotac or MSI Gaming trio. Tbh I may just sit it out. Why can't all reviews be available the day before.... annoying!

I was looking at EVGA(XC3 or FTW3) but after reading some stuff I am now not sure

Was thinking of the palit for £659 then looked and it's £730 or sommot

All these responses are great in telling me which cards to avoid if I want the best chance of bagging one on launch day!

The choices if you want a card on day 1 are limited, most *good* ones like Msi, Gigabyte and Asus are just for pre-order.
Though choice to be honest.

I wasn't aware that it had been revealed which cards will be in stock at 2pm on Thursday?

TimAhKin · 14 Sep 2020 at 12:48

It's not 100% confirmed but I believe that all cards that don't have *AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER SEPTEMBER 17th* in their description will be available on the 17th.

That could just be to get the listings up quickly where it is a copy & paste job. Maybe.

I'm looking at either the FE (if it reviews well) or Zotac, as I've been happy with my 980ti AMP, and I quite like the look of theirs as it isn't too bling.

Matthew Hunt · 14 Sep 2020 at 13:27

I think, I will be getting the MSI.
Never had an MSI card before and seems to have no christmas tree lights.

I will probably have multiple cards on multiple sites open and basically mashing F5 at 2PM to get one.

LeMson · 14 Sep 2020 at 13:29

Do we know if any cards have dual bios?

Matthew Hunt · 14 Sep 2020 at 14:01

I think someone mentioned the Gigabyte ones do.

Matthew Hunt · 14 Sep 2020 at 14:02

If I miss out on mashing F5, then I guess I will be getting the 3090.

Looks like all the ASUS cards are having dual BIOS with a switch showing Silent and Performance
