No surprise here, I'll be the first (unless Bill beats me to it) to get a 3090.

Poor man with responsibilities will be sticking with the 3080 when I upgrade everything later this year. Dont need bleeding edge.


3090 benches are out?
 
EK block sneak peak. Looks like they addressed the top mounted FE power connector by shortening the inlet area. Should be interesting to see what this looks like with a power connector slapped in between the tubing.

so I will say Nvidia just made water cooled ITX builds more of a thing with the shorter PCB should see reasonably sized waterblock cards

I will say this if AMD does not deliver* I will be buying NV for the first time EVER and will be watercooling it

by deliver I mean at least beat the 2080ti by 30% in raster and RT performance.
 
I was thinking 3090, but the 3080 is so impressive, I'm buying that, and slapping a block on it. These things really impressed me today. I can't wait to see actual reviews, and know when and where I can get a water block. I'm ready!
 
Whoa $£699 for a 3080 I'm seriously tempted. Will wait for benchmarks but for gaming at 1440p this could be a monster card. Could be my first Nvidia card for almost a decade.
 
bill this is the less memey thread I will be more strict in this one. I would prefer to have the thread be informative.
 
I reached out to EK on facebook to see when their newsletter is coming out. Hopefully before the 17th. I'm not buying a card that isn't getting a water block, and I want to get one as early as possible.

Alphacool has them ready apparently.

Very curious what it will boost to. The FE cooler looks hefty but that's a lot of power.

You've never owned Nvidia cards?
 
Dammit, meant to post in this thread.

Also, to answer about half the questions in this thread:
  • Currently no pre-order planned. Similarly, no pricing is available at this time.
  • Like the US store, we cannot generally comment on availability at this time for the EU store. Availability, however, will not be any sooner than the dates NVIDIA mentioned for each GPU.
  • HYBRID, HC, and KPE cards will come a bit later than the XC3 and FTW3 cards. No ETA to give you, which is probably your next question.
  • HYBRIDs will be 240mm, except for KPE HYBRID, whch will be 360mm. No plans for a 120mm HYBRID at this time.
  • HYBRIDs will be 2 Slot.
  • XC3 cards will all be 2.2 slots. Length is 11.23in. - 285.37mm / Height is 4.38in. - 111.15 mm.
  • FTW3 cards will be 2.75 slots. Length is 11.81in. - 300mm / Height is 5.38in. - 136.75mm.
  • There will be an EVGA NVLINK. No ETA at this time.
  • Since I've seen this mentioned incorrectly, all cards are 3 DisplayPort, 1 HDMI.
  • PowerLink is expected to work with the XC3 models. For obvious reasons, it will not work with the 3090/3080 FTW3 cards due to the number of PCIe power connectors. Either way, we will have the compatibility list updated when the cards are available on the website.
  • Step-Up will begin when cards are available. Products will not be listed prior to general availability. I would expect one of the XC3 models will be listed for availability, but we will make that decision prior to general availability.
  • I'm not sure why people assume bots are buying cards over regular people. It was a popular reason for why 20-Series cards were always out of stock, which completely ignored literal supply and demand issues (lots of people wanted them, but there weren't many initially). Yes, there are per person quantity caps for each card. Yes, we require captcha to login, which is also required to create a profile. This should help to comfort some of you.

240mm rads on the Hybrid 3090 cards, and 360mm radiator on the King Pin 3090. I was seriously joking in the other thread when I mentioned the King Pin having a 360mm rad. And now it's confirmed.
