Im more of a reader myself, so I hope to read some great insights today.

 

[luminosity]

Thanks for the timezone breakdowns, Darktalon !

 

[ShimmyShakes]

I'm here to look at game names, resolutions, detail settings and frame rate bars.

[shadowhaxor]

So ready to camp out in front of Microcenter tomorrow.

Yeah, I'm dead serious.

 

[Zelas]

So are only FE reviews dropping? How soon until AIB benchmarks?

 

[Miggytronz]

omg

 

[Winstano]

Justify my £650. Please.

 

[Delusibeta]

Benchmarkageddon part 1 at the top of the hour. I'll probably watch the Hardware Unboxed video first, and then the Gamers Nexus video afterwards.

I hope I can get a card at £650, overclockers has been increasing their prices. You getting a FE or AIB card?

I am ready to hammer that f5 button while wfh, hoping for an order. I was going to wait but I figure if I get lucky enough to actually being able to order before they are all sold to miners & scalpers., I just have to buy one. I doubt I will get one

 

[Deleted member 27551]

I've just swapped out a 5700xt to a 2070 😞, really want to see these benchmarks. It's just crazy that we went from the ps5 and series x being right up there to these cards doing what was always going to happen, but alot cheaper and quicker than I thought, to just blowing past them.

 

[lordkosc]

Can't wait for dual 3090's with NVLink, for that sweet sweet Minecraft w/RTX at 8k.

/s

 

[Darktalon]

24 hours from now, you will all be huddled around your F5, furiously mashing.

 

[hoserx]

Don't forget, embargo spelled backwards is O grab me.

 

[Qudi]

why im more excited for this than the ps5 event

 

[Ambient]

Still going to wait for the 3070.

 

[laoni]

I won't be able to watch YouTube I don't think but hopefully some nice text reviews

 

[hoserx]

Click to shrink...

Because the ps5 is like a toy compared to this :P

 

[CelestialAtom]

Maybe I'm just short on watts, is 500w enough?

Click to shrink...

ResetEra recommends at least 750w last time I checked. :)

 

[Darktalon]

Click to shrink...

It does cost probably $200 more than a PS5, so I guess you should be $200 more excited ^_^

 

[Darktalon]

Click to shrink...

Ah, but then you have those that argue you need to run PSU at 50% efficiency, so actually you need 1500w PSU to utilize ResetERA properly.

 

[tomwarren]

Click to shrink...

AIBs are tomorrow.

 

[Darktalon]

I wish we could have a live viewing of the gamersnexus video together xD, like everyone watch at the same time and comment like a twitch stream, but for resetera only

That would be great.

[TheBuck]

Can't wait to see if their 1.9 perf/watt claims are real or not.

 

[Standinghollow]

Really just here for the $800+ version of watch dogs. The card is just a bonus.

 

[Gatti-man]

I was told there would be reviews here 0.0

 

[Mecha Meister]

Just a few more minutes to go! 😄

Sooooooon

 

[CreepingFear]

It's the final countdown....

 

[PuppetMinion]

wait they seperated FE and AIB reviews? seriously? ughh, now there is an red flag

 

[SmartWaffles]

So are only FE reviews dropping? How soon until AIB benchmarks?

Click to shrink...

Pure performance wise all cards are practically equal except some super highly binned extreme overclockers like KINGPIN. AIB reviews should be tomorrow.

 

[Mr Swine]

I hope my 650 watt is enough for a RTX 3080. Hope it's a big upgrade from a 2060 Super

Hoping for a Ventus, I haven't seen that there's been a slow increase on overclockers! Dangit...

Quick question for European peeps:

Founder Edition cards are ONLY sold through Nvidia? Because I see 2080 sold in Amazon and such, and I would like being able to avoid Nvidia's EU distributor.
