Thats insane. Surely down to the pandemic and staff not being able to work to build them etc?
Yeah that's mental.
I'm not sure to be honest.
Then don’t announce them till you got enough stock ready to go.
They just rushed it out like Nvidia have.
Yep.
They could have been the saviours here and made a lot of people jump across, now those sitting on the fence waiting are likely to find more of the 30xx series available to them before AMD get their shit together.
Anyone know why pcpartpicker is showing compatibility issues between 5600x and b550 motherboards ? I was under the impression that b550 will be fine off the bat and the bios for b450 would have to be updated.
Can't wait for the reviews tomorrow.
Fair play. I’ve decided I’ll get a tuf 3080 or ftw 3 ultra 3090 if I can source either for delivery this side of Christmas. I’m convinced that the pre-ordered stuff ain’t coming until sometime in January or maybe even February and I can’t be fecked waiting.
Fair enough mate. Yeah it's a shambles regarding cards and 6000 series amd are meant to be just as bad so I'll wait for reviews tomorrow and see. Maybe @Balljy will send you a discord server invite. Its been really good regarding 3080's. I could have bought a couple already, and 3090's are almost always available for good few minutes when they go up. Much better than stock informer. Though I think one is unable to purchase from amazon Germany and get the item posted to UK so keep that in mind.
Whats the consensus on ram situation, is 4 sticks better than 2 sticks or not ? Ive read conflicting views with no clear answer. I was always under the impression that having 2 sticks is better, however ive seen reviews where 4 sticks get 10-15% more fps in games.
2x16 or 4x8 (two 2x8 kits) ? 3600 CL 16 being the same in all.
2x16 or 4x8 (two 2x8 kits) ? 3600 CL 16 being the same in all.
So after an actual call from their business manager apologising over and over, Curry's business reckon they are getting 75 of the 3070 OC in this week. Still don't know if I trust it though 
10-15? Nah, that sounds way too high. I guess it does depend on the motherboard and memory type, but I just can't see it being that much of a difference.
I've already sent it to a few people who asked including @Fortitude
The 3070 and 3090 FE just went up on Nvidia which links to Scan for the cheapest card and is always at MSRP. The 3080 is likely to go up in a bit too.

let us know if you do get one.From my understanding dual channel is always better but I'll be really surprised if it's a 10-15 fps difference.
Dual channel 2x8 is better than a single stick of 16. That's all i know to be honest.
Yeah you can get 3090's below msrp on Spanish amazon store. For some reason French and Italian stores won't let me add to my basket. I tried a few dry runs.
From overclockers forums. Absolute pisstake.
Is the Germany thing because of Brexit? I haven't been keeping up. Annoying because they have some amazing prices. I could get one sent to my OH's family, but I really dread the idea of them sending it over and it getting lost or whatever.
Zotac's and Palit's seems to be a dime a dozen, but the FTW's and TUF's are rare and seem to go in a literal flash.
@Balljy sorted me out, yea. Really great resource to have.
Did you ever see a 3080 ftw 3 ultra on there? (disc.)
3090 FTW Ultra just went on sale on amazon German for 1600 euro. Fantastic price imo. Sorry my mistake €1,781,29. Still isn't bad.
I got a 3080 FTW3 Ultra myself from Amazon UK but through Amazon Global for £770 which is pretty decent for that card. They appear occasionally but you have to be quick. EVGA seem to concentrate on Europe in batches, so there'll probably be another load through in the next week or so.
Yeah, I’ve seen some great deals on .de but never shipping to UK, which is annoying.
I’ll definitely grab one if I get the chance, but it’s pretty obvious bots are buying them as they are gone from your basket before you can even checkout! The tuf seems to be the rarest card, but the ftw3’s aren’t far behind. Both feel like gold dust.
Enough of that.
Where is my 3090? I had it ordered for 2 bleeding months. What you going to do about it Paxi?
I don’t care about French, Spain or Germany. I want what I paid for and you promised me it Paxi. You hyped up these cards to me with all the videos you posted, made me buy one and now Scan have been sitting on my money getting interest off it. If I don’t get one by this Friday, I am coming round yours and taking that LG TV.
Better do it fast: LG oled are plummeting in price!
Had ordered a unit and it isn't coming until Dec, but they've dropped the price another £200 since! So I cancelled that order and re-ordered it at the new price! Quite annoyed because they've dropped the price a full grand since June when I bought my one. Never had these issues with Pioneer!
I will be getting whatever model follows after the CX sometime next year. My current Sony TV is more than good enough as it cost me a bomb, but I like the direction where LG are going with their TVs. Where as Sony are going backwards. They had some of the best TVs for HDR gaming only a few years back, but LG have left them standing still.
Just checked Scan.
429 outstanding 3090 cards and 537 are due to arrive this week.
2379 outstanding 3080 cards with 540 to arrive.
Where are you getting this info from?
I'm wary now - hate the idea of purchasing and then seeing the price drop like a boulder. I can't believe my panel is now £1k less in 5 fecking months! Strangely, the 77" hasn't suffered the same fate.
Think the LG's, you probably have to be mindful of a similar thing happening, unless you don't care what happens in the market after you purchase (I have a [weird] habit of still keeping tabs on for a few months after)
I guess we'll see what they do with HDMI 2.1 as well as input times over the next 18 months. I hope the leaps aren't astronomical, tbh. Will make me feel like a first gen mug!
Don't be getting my hopes up! Ignorance has been bliss, somewhat.
I am waiting to see what they show at CES 2021. But those TVs won’t be released until later on in the year.
I would still go with the CX, if I was you as it’s still the best gaming TV on the market. The only problem at the moment is I have to get out of this habit of leaving stuff off pause or leaving the consoles on a pause menu as that will screw me up for OLED.
This'll be the 2nd CX in the house when it comes. Just glad I got it at the reduced-reduced-reduced (
) price.I made a thread about that pausing thing. I've told her, if she trashes the TV with those antics, it's on her to sort out!
For the most part, I've trained that out of myself now; actually, fair to say I'm hyper-aware of the consequences so avoid like the plague!
Scan now showing the 3070/80 close to retail price for pre order.
Scan website down. Hope the thousands of people who are after the two 6000 cards they got in stock don’t wait two months.
Moved up from 44 to 43.
Going to give them two more weeks. If they don’t deliver, I am ordering from somewhere else. Don’t take peoples money, if you don’t have the goods.
