Cool.
Hang out in discord at 9am EST on the 17th, ya never know!Planning on doing my build and buying everything or just about everything after Zen 3 releases... I'm not getting an EVGA 3080 (probably FTW3) right away am I? 😂
The guys at my Microcenter did this too. Since when do regular sales associates have NDA's??? That's not even a thing.I rang up SCAN UK who said their NDA means they couldn't even tell me the TIME today that orders would be going up. Poor dude was like "if you Google it and then guess I might be able to tell you if you are in the right ballpark" haha. I did and guessed "2 o'clock" and he replied "yes, just have your lunch first".
So 2PM UK time seems to be when the NDA and embargo lifts on orders in the UK. Anyone selling it before that time is breaking what seems to be a very strict NDA. So, basically, if you're in the UK, I'd chill for a few hours. I'm working but my girlfriend is primed and ready to repeatedly refresh the page on the Nvidia website for a FE card from 1:55!
I really hope so. I am going for an EVGA FTW3 either way but those red accents were bothering me.
Legend. Thanks for this. Indeed, super frustrating way of handling this whole thing.I rang up SCAN UK who said their NDA means they couldn't even tell me the TIME today that orders would be going up.

My coworker's order wasn't cancelled. I believe it hit his credit card already.Bunch of people grabbed those earlier, most had theirs cancelled. Think they locked that shit down hard.
The race has begun.
Hopefully, it involves firing the person responsible.
Thanks.
Thank you.
cool
Well that sucks
Thanks
'grats to him, seems like he really lucked out if they don't cancel.My coworker's order wasn't cancelled. I believe it hit his credit card already.
Trio or ventus?My MSI Amazon order I placed on the 14th still hasn't been cancelled. COME ON BABY
Probably why they got delayed. Thanks internet for complaing so much
I don't unless they were open about the time and date otherwise I don't like random drops. I rather know I have a slight chance than none at all.I wish just one vendor would have broken the time so that not everyone was going for the cards at 9am on all sites.
This is a rare instance where the internet was right.Probably why they got delayed. Thanks internet for complaing so much
Checking this out, thanks
XC3's will go on sale at 6am. FTW3 are apparently coming "soon".
thanks
Thanks!
swappable outlines? :O
I'm glad someone is listening to our advice.Went ahead and notified my credit card company about large purchase. Hoping to get a FE from Nvidia. Catch y'all in the morning.
As someone who doesn't know that much about graphics cards, what are the differences between 'founders edition' and the ones by other companties? Any companies that I should avoid?
Thanks!
Good reminder. My CC that I used for online purchases has gone insane as of late. Flagged a mere $30 purchase the other day.swappable outlines? :O
I'm glad someone is listening to our advice.
Nothing will suck more than thinking you placed an order only for your CC to call you 2 hours later to tell you the charge didn't go through because they thought it was fraudulent.
Please, folks: Call your CC company NOW or in the AM and let them know a charge is coming and to not flag it. Don't become a horror story.
thanks
Sooo... after all the reviews and testing, are the results pointing at a PSU upgrade being essential? I'm running a 650w PSU. I saw a review saying a minimum of 700 is required but not sure if that's just being on the safe side.
Depends on what else is being paired with the GPU..650W should be fine provided you aren't planning on doing an aggressive OC or running a super power hungry CPU

It's being on the safe side since they don't know what CPU you have. For instance, If you have a 32 core Threadripper that could be around 300W already not counting the GPU, but a 3600 should be fine.Sooo... after all the reviews and testing, are the results pointing at a PSU upgrade being essential?
