Well right now other than the EVGA AIOs they are the only two slot cards. Even the EVGA's radiator is dual 240mm and that ain't fitting in a SFF case.
I guess I'm behind the curve on this as I've not seen any size comparisons, but DAMN, the PS5 is huge! What the heck?
They gave the numbers on twitter. At least the xc3 is the same size as the 3080FE in length and height, it's 2.5-slots however.
I'd feel bad for selling it at that price and probably refund a most of the price difference lol.
So if we ignore the misleading TFlop numbers, it looks like the 3080 will be about 70% faster than a stock 2080 at rasterization.
That's quite good, but I'm worried about the heat this thing is going to give off. My room already gets really hot when gaming, and I can't imagine what an extra 70 Watts is going to do to. It seems that in terms of fps/watt, the improvement has been relatively small, especially given the process shrink. Speaking of which, where did NVidia get the 1.9 number from? That seems completely at odds with what we've seen.

Ah, so I can fit every console, present and future, inside my computer case. Duly noted.
Cheers, I'll take a look. Slot wise isn't a problem, got plenty of space that way, but card length is certainly an issue. I'm now thinking I need to get a new PSU and a new AIO... Looks like my £900 prediction is about right after all!
No they gave it on their forum and twitter
Excellent, thank you :)
So... Er... Anyone wanna buy a 2060 and a Corsair H110i?
I am probably going to get the 3080 if I can and then get a new CPU/MOBO/RAM.
I'll get the faster SSD later and complete the build. I may then sell it for the 3090 when I have more money.

Has it ever happened before that the Founders Edition was sold outside the Nvidia shop?
That would be good for me, if that happens in Europe as well. I have a debit card and cannot order from the Nvidia shop because there is no PayPal payment method.
I guess I'll have to wait for the release date for the 3090 to see the actual size of the PCB from Gamer's Nexus.
Are their dimensions of the PCB or pictures of it anywhere? I'll be putting this in a water loop so I don't care about the size of the fan shroud, but if the PCB is gigantic then there could be issues.

I grabbed some Noctua slim fans for my H100i, that -should- give me the clearance to get the FE in comfortably (my clearance and the FE length are identical, so it's either going to not fit, or be incredibly snug) , and they work well on an AIO, according to this
Noctua NF-12x15 Slim Fan Performance Review - OC3D
  Introduction A box of goodies is always appreciated here at OC3D towers, and when that box has the word Noctua written on it, you know you’re in for a treat.  So what’s in the box? I hear you ask.  Well aside from some much needed syringes of NT-H1 TIM, there were some of the […]
I've always gone third-party for the heatsinks. But that FE heatsink is a thing of beauty. Not just in looks, but in the engineering. I'm shocked this is going to be the cheapest option.
I'm actually interested in what the 4k performance will look like actually. Damn 8k right now.
At least the shroud is pretty clean lolForget your busty women in boob-armour.
Get rid of your CGI metallo-dragons.
Nowadays it's all about U WOT M8:

Wow! Thanks. This is perfect. I was more worried about length and this is even better. I have my card in a vertical orientation. The only thing I have to worry about is shortening my hard tubing just a bit to accomodate it.
It really is spectacular looking. Sleek AND functional that I want to bite on that rather than third party. Conflicted conflicted!

Ha ha. Green Team Hooligans!
Having seen the GPUs from various vendors, I got to say that this generation probably has the ugliest GPUs yet. The Founder's Edition is the only one that doesn't look like it's designed for 10 year olds. Sure, you can just cram it into your case and never see it but still, do they really have to look that awful? Zotac and MSI are probably the least offensive ones this time.
Interesting that nobody is doing their version of the FE cooler either. Either it isn't as good as Nvidia says or it is too expensive to manufacture.

They were saying that it cost $150 to manufacture, so yeah, too expensive lol
Exactly. You can guarantee versions with more VRAM will come out next year. I am waiting until next year to buy.
Well, they don't have vertical integration, Nvidia can lower prices because everything in done in-house, while AIBs waste money on things nvidia doesn't need to.
Really curious to know the stock of these given the current state of manufacturing and the fact that no one is doing pre-orders. I imagine these are going to be sold out till 2021.
I will say that the design is probably pretty expensive since the layout is unique. It would definitely require more time on an assembly line which would equal more money.
If I were going to stick with just an air-cooled application, I'd probably stick with an FE card. Board partner cards look so ugly to me. I HATE gamer aesthetics.
I got a 2080 Ti, thinking about going 3080 but also thinking about waiting to see if they put out another Ti card or Super series.
I had a 2080 it FE, and it was sooooooooo sexy and extremely we'll built.
I switched for a Zotac, but even if the FE was a bit louder, I always regretted it.
This time I'll go for a FE, it's so beautiful (and the AIB cards are so ugly).
I'll also get a free game and subscription, I honestly don't get those even considering AIBs, but that's just me.
FE design definitely looks the best this time around. I really don't care what it looks like though, it's all about thermals and noise.

I used this site to calculate what's required, has the 3080 listed. With my 3700x, and a 3080 total power is 528w, 578w recommended. I also just built a pc with a 650w psu, corsair rmx 650w 80+ gold, but it looks like with a 650w there's plenty of buffer.
Yeah the more I look at it the more I really want the FE. I need to change my Liangli case though. I bought it 2 years ago but the graphics card doesn't sit right, It was very had to get it to sit properly
no preorders, door opens, good luck. Is what ive gathered across the entire industry.
Whew! I suspect that the doors open for the 3070 close to that launch then? So September I'm gonna be relatively safe?
I'll wait for real benchmarks. I already know performance are very good but not so much about the noise and temperature.
Gonna have a severely bottlenecked 3080 when I get one. I picked up a Ryzen R3 3100 purely as a stand-in until the R7 4700X gets released.
So that'll be fun.
