Doubt they are correct. Ventus is not much more than the FE in most European countries.

Haha, the FE actually looks good this gen, AIB gonna get a bushwhacking if they think they can price gouge for their generic looking custom coolers this time around.

No way that's correct, Ventus is one of their budget SKUs. How much is the Trio going to be, 1100?

Showing "out of stock" for me along with no price.
I take it that's the same for everyone else or is it just due to my location?

That MSI trio actually looks pretty cool,and my mobo is MSI and I've had zero issue with it. But they're already gone so

Is there a post or a website that has gone to the trouble of listing specs of every launch day card? Things like the length of every card, how many slots they take up, how many 8 pin connectors they require, or how many watts of power they use, and the recommended PSU for each card?
So far the only card I know that fits in my rig is the 3080 FE and I need a solid second choice for a back up plan in case I'm one of the unlucky ones that can't snag an FE on launch day.

I initially wanted the EVGA 3090 FTW3 Edition, because it has RGB lighting and because my 980Ti was an EVGA product and my 1080Ti is an EVGA product. However, I now want the Asus ROG Strix Edition, because it has RGB lighting but is otherwise color neutral; the FTW3 Edition has a red accent along the side of its shroud that is atop its GPU and on one of the narrow ends of its shroud and doesn't look as cool as the ROG Strix. Also, my motherboard is by Asus, so I'd have a bit of brand consistency in my build, LOL.

I've only got an option to add it to my wish list unfortunately.
Hopefully they make a proportion of the new cards available for international shipping in the first couple of weeks.

By the way... I wanted to add something.
All my performance calculations in that thread are based on the performance numbers nVidia has given us.
There are two possibilities. Either a, their benchmarks are near the advertised 1.7GHz boost, or b, they are at whatever maximum boost the cards can reach, say, 2.1GHz.
Case a would be a best case scenario, because, that means we could see even higher performance than what they have advertised with. I seriously doubt this is the case.
Case b would be the 'worst' case scenario, in the sense that their advertising of the performance at 1.7GHz is actually at say 2.1 GHz boost. I think this is the most reasonable assumption, considering nVidia's boost clocks can easily surpass their specifications. If this is the case, my statement of Ampere not being able to reach much higher than 1.7 GHz would fall flat on its face, BUT, all the performance calculations I did in that thread would be based on the performance at 2.1GHz, meaning, not much would change anyway.
AIB cooling is also triple slots for the RTX 3090? Man this thing is a monster.I initially wanted the EVGA 3090 FTW3 Edition, because it has RGB lighting and because my 980Ti was an EVGA product and my 1080Ti is an EVGA product.

Wouldn't it actually be an idea to get the RTX 3080 and see if you can unlock it to be closer to an RTX 3090? It is the same GPU after all. And considering it's pretty much half the price... Unless you want all that RAM of course... 10GB is on the low side.

Have there been any thermal tests with the new nvidia cooler and how it effects air coolers and cpu temps?
GHG

Nothing trustworthy yet, we need to wait.
BTW, that cooler is only going to be on the FE cards, if you go with a 3rd party manufacturer then you'll get a cooler that is more in line with what we are used to.

I want that additional VRAM so that I don't have to worry about memory bottlenecks in future games at 4K and because I like to edit videos at 4K (which I need to make more time for). I also want the full 15% to 20% of additional power without having to screw with clocks and voltages to attain stability.
The card is indeed expensive, but I have a job and I can work overtime every week; as long as I don't have to break the bank (pull from my savings), then it's not an issue. This card is the one that I want, so it's the one that I intend to get.

Interesting. I had an EVGA 980Ti FTW for a year and then upgraded to an EVGA 1080Ti SC2, which I've had since. Neither has given me a problem. However, I want to get the Asus 3090 Strix because I like its design.Had a 1080 Asus Strix, a 1080ti Strix and a 2080ti Strix.
0 issues with the 3 of them and performance and cooling is top notch imo. Had 2 EVGA's in the past and had to rma them both at some point.
I'm absolutely going for the Strix again ...3090 that is

I've decided to sit this out until early next year. My 2080 TI handles everything perfectly fine, and I'm not happy with the 10GB on the 3080 or the 3090 partner designs. Just pure ass, for the most part.
I also don't want to deal with the online madness, quite frankly.
Right. And just think if you get a defective card...replacements won't be so quick.

Good to see as a 1080ti owner myself
3080 is actually around 90% better at 4K in these games
And up to 140% better with DLSS in TR.
I do hope the VRAM usage in HZD is just some stupid memory leak/caching whatever and not really eating up >9.5GB at 4K!

Thanks guys, it's nothing too bad so far (and hopefully it doesn't get any worse), just a slight fever at the moment and strangely enough food is mostly going straight through me. Only reason I even got tested is because my wife has been quite ill for the last week or so then suddenly couldn't taste or smell anything. Got her tested and she has it so they obviously needed to test me as well. It's fucking weird because we have completely different symptoms. Just making sure she's ok and doesn't get worse. Worst thing about it is that neither of us can leave the home until we both test negative, they are quite strict about that here. Also a bit pissed off because we've been really careful and always worn masks everywhere but what can you do

I don't think you're reading that RAM correctly.

The chinese video mention that HZD is showing >9GB of VRAM, so i went with that.
The rest of titles tested were around 6.5-7.5GB at a glance.
I do feel 10GB is on the edge sadly. G6X is probably too hot and expensive at launch

In the Horizon screens you have a few numbers to look at. There's VRAM size, then MEM and RAM.
I believe VRAM size is how much memory the gpu has, RAM is allocated system memory and MEM is the amount of video RAM in use. Which in the screenshot is like 4GB.
No problems here i can see.

Work might have something to say about that. But I'm not restricted from having my phone on me so I'll be refreshing like crazy. I'd be fine with the Asus strix,evga ftw3, or the MSI trio.
At this point I simply want one. Of course watch us worry this while time and come launch day there's plenty of stock.

Yeah, I'm not so sure you'd be getting that on or around the 24th, based on the warning you get when you attempt to check out.
If you've done business with them before, ignore me.

The 4GB you see is at the benchmark menu.
In the video, they show or spoken that in game run, the readings were close to 9.5GB

On thing I had not considered was if my case is too small for the cards I am even going to attempt to get. This is my case: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TD9C5HS/?tag=neogaf0e-20
I am interested in the EVGA FTW3, ASUS Strix, or MSI Trio. I currently have a 2070 Super which is already small in comparison to most of these cards.

Yeah im not sure either i just ordered as soon as i found this. Lol But I'm still going to look for another order if i can get my hands on one.
Yeah this is my first order from them i just ordered as soon as it popped up. PNY is fine, but they are a smaller brand than EVGA,MSI or Asus. They are American based too.
