Eventually managed to pick up an order of the FTW3 with a cpu and motherboard upgrade I was planning on doing eventually anyway for transitioning to PCIE 4.0.

Preordered mine today at memory express in Canada. I just got a 2080ti a few months ago, but I use my rig more for production and editing than gaming. Anything to reduce render times is worth it to me.

My confirmation email came in 15-20 minutes after the order after the "We're Processing your Order" email.

Have you checked your spam folder?

SCAN sent me an email last night...

We estimate that your order will despatch on Sat 31 Oct

Majorly bummed. I emailed them back asking why the delay when my order when through and was confirmed immediately so waiting to hear back.

I ordered from Overclockers at exactly 13:57 yesterday and don't have any delivery estimate. Then again, I ordered a Strix OC and I'm almost certain those were delayed so who the hell knows when anyone will have stock.

I'm not buying a 3090 but I had to come in and say that I heartily laughed while reading the OP. Bravo!

A friend who works at HawkEye (now owned by Sony) and has a close relationship with Scan has informed me even they can't get card until next year. Scan informed them they had over 60,000 orders for the 3080 with only 6000 units (the highest in UK) allocated to them.

I suddenly feel much better about having to wait a month for my 3090!

So.. CURRYS (UK).

Got my 3090 order through with them yesterday and got the email through from Currys early hours of this morning to say it had been dispatched, followed by an email from DPD to say it was due today as expected, and that I'd get a delivery time slot advised by 11am.

Well 11am came and went and no timeslot. I spoke to DPD and they said they still haven't received the parcel from Currys so it can't be delivered today, and to speak to Currys. Spoke to Currys and they said it's been dispatched and to speak to DPD. Going around in circles with both, long wait times on the phones etc, clueless advisors.

So wtf am I supposed to do now!

Sooooo, I just won a sweepstake with cclonline to order a 3090 card, I now have a MSI GeForce RTX 3090 Ventus OC arriving Monday!
I'm not in a rush to upgrade so I'm on the fence about what to do with it, keep it or throw it on eBay and make a ridiculous profit and essentially get a 3080 later for free...
I'm running a 100hz ultrawide monitor and I'm not sure it's worth the extra cost for the performance margin.

Anyone else who ordered a 3090 from Nvidia directly yesterday, received the order confirmation, payment confirmation and now today can't see the order on there Nvidia account ?

Look like my nightmare may not be over yet.

Probably just Digital River being garbage. I ordered a 3090 yesterday and have been able to check the order status all day, but now it's just throwing an error.

As long as the payment is confirmed I wouldn't worry about it.

Same boat. Manual search didn't work either. Wonder if they're doing updates to their systems today. My last few orders from them shipped around 2pm PST the day after I placed the order, so I'm hoping we see movement soon.

Is there a brief explanation for why the 3090 only gets 10-20% more perf than the 3080 at 4k? I thought it has like twice the core count.

I managed to get a Gigabyte Gaming 3090 OC, I managed to boot once, whereupon the screen suddenly turned black. I tried to reboot, but then the PC wouldn't post anymore, claiming there was no graphics card installed.

Not sure where you read that, but it has pretty much exactly 20% more cores than the 3080. 20% is the maximum improvement you're going to see.

You could see 90%+ in the rare scenario where the 3080 starves of VRAM and switches to single digits fps or downright crashes ...

but yeah otherwise +20% across the boars (except ROPs)

3080
Shading Units 8704
TMUs 272
ROPs 96
SM Count 68

Oh no :( Hope you sort it out. It's already hard enough to get one.

Great OP!! No doubt I'm going to be overpaying, but I need a whole new rig anyway and will be looking for that via CPPC.

Perfect, thanks! At this point I am leaning 3090 but might wait for 3080 Ti.

3090 is 12% over 3080 at 4k.
Avg of 246 tests.
Incredible bang for the buck!

France stocks really are poor... it was not glorious for 3080 but at least some shipped... my card is stuck in limbo and i fear i'll get it in a couple weeks at best.
