I only looked at Scan at 2:05 and then found out that they are delivering again!
But I was too late.

That is not true. Scan is still not delivering outside of UK.

Had a few pages open covering different locations. Mostly out of interest as I have little interest in spending that kind of money.
Didn't see any opportunity to buy, everything went from pending/coming-soon to sold out within seconds of the launch time.
Unsurprisingly there are already 10+ on ebay with a nice 1000 or more added to the price.

Can you get on it right now?

I can't, my friends cant. Etc

The EVGA site has been basically down for the last hour. They only opened up the 3080Ti for their "Elite" members to put their name on a list for the opportunity to buy a card months from now.

Thanks to everyone who posted their GPU upgrade paths. Looks like I will be sticking to my 2070 for a very long time.

I think I just come to the point where I am longer arsed going out my way to get a new GPU unless I can simply add to basket and checkout easily.

Best of luck to everyone trying to bag a new card tomorrow.

So where and what time does the new stock come online today? Or do AIB cards come out later?

I like to nearly double the performance on cpu and gpu upgrades.

Last 4 gpus were 4870x2, 7970, gtx 970 and currently rx 5700. All pretty much doubled performance over the previous with the exception of the 970 which was only about 60% faster than the 7970 with only .5gb more memory. That was a reluctant upgrade.

Looking to get a 6800 to again double the 5700 and get my first high end card since the 7970.

*Cracks knuckles*

Probably have the order and names of some of these wrong.

Voodoo 1
Voodoo 3
Geforce 2 GTS
Geforce 4 mx
Radeon 9800 pro
4870
670
2070 super. <

will probably be on this for a very long time : )

Revoker88

7870
7950 Crossfire
970
1080
3080

In all that time I've had a monitor capable of at least 100hz @1440p,current monitor is capable of 144hz @1440p so was always chasing frames till the 1080 really. Although the 7950 CF did a decent job at the time

While we're talking GPUs:

ATI Radeon 9600 128mb (new but years late)
[...]
GTX 970 (new)
GTX 980 Ti (used)
GTX 970 (when I thought I'd killed my 980 Ti)
GTX 1080 (used)
GTX 2070 Super (new - had to wait 3 months to get an FE!)

Why not?

I've money saved up because I've barely left the house in 12 months, I don't drink bar two or three pints with my friends when they're home, my gym membership is paid for another 12 months, my golf club membership is paid for this year, bought new golf clubs last year so no need for anything new there, bought a new car last year so no need for an upgrade there, mortgage is small enough and we're talking to the bank at the moment about getting a lower rate and reducing the term, due a pay rise in work by the end of the year as well so as I said why not?

More power to you, why not spend money on hobbies/interests that keep you going if everything else is covered.

Anybody have any idea where we can buy 3080TIs tomorrow? I haven't seen any info on what sites will be stocking them.
Do Nvidia sell the FE to Ireland or would need to buy elsewhere?

Scan are the distributor for the UK and Ireland... but don't ship to Ireland post brexit and Nvidia haven't bothered finding a new partner so we're just ****ed.

That's a pretty standard price for a 3090 as far as I can tell. I'm more surprised someone accepted €1860 for it but I suppose that's still more than what they probably paid for it at launch

I would say if you're serious about 4k gaming in any way a 3080 at least is a must. I have a 3070 and primarily stick to 1440 cause the things you have to cut back on to get acceptable perf on 4k is a bit too much.

Puzzled why the 80ti only has 12GB VRAM

On my current PC, I've gone from 660 > 960 > 1060 3GB. I can't remember the years. Before that I was on a laptop for a while.

I used to upgrade a lot more than I do now.

Back in the day it was 280 > 480 > 580 > 580 SLI > 670 > 780 > 780 SLI > 1070

After the 10 series things slowed. Mainly because I got into servers and started building secondary rigs, and because the 20 series was just such horrible value. We things more normal, I'd be on a 3070/80 by now.

Out of curiosity, how long do people use their current GPU before replacing it?

I haven't posted here in a while but I was getting pissed off trying to get a 3080 using the discord stock checker for the longest time.

I just want to ensure my computer is capable running BF6, starfield, elder scrolls 6 etc.

Good question - looking back, the timing varies a LOT...in my case (that's one of the "computer jokes" book!)

.

Lately, I've kinda kept up with the "updates" with upgrade cycles of 1.5-2 years (1070->2070 Super and then I'm hoping to get my hands on a 3090 asap). But at some point before, I've even been going 6/7 years with just a laptop that had a GT9600M on board.

I would say it depends on two factors - innovation (as in, how much are new GPUs improving on the old ones and how much is software making of these improvements) and the balance between PC and console gaming. Back when I only ran a laptop, for example, there were plenty of console exclusives worth playing and, on top of that, most PC games I like/liked didn't require a particularly beefy GPU.

Today in my view the balance has once again shifted back - console exclusives aren't really that many AND diminishing fast (Sony is porting many PS titles to Windows) so unless you are 100% sure not to do anything other than gaming with your platform, PC would be the way to go. I'm sure it'll switch back again at some point, seems to go in waves.

For example, the 2000-2004 period was INSANE. You'd literally buy a brand new graphics card or a CPU, and they'd be pretty much obsolete 3 months later, thanks to ATI/AMD/Intel/nVidia putting out fairly heavy "revisions" of their products at a breakneck pace. Coupled with the fact I was a 20-something lad in his first decent job and living at home, I don't think I could even remember all the hardware I went through.

First GPU was a 280x back in 2015, picked that up cheap off a mate, then got a 480 in 2017, that died so grabbed a 1650 super last summer a couple months before the 3000 series was set to be released, quickly realised I wasn't going to get one so got a 1080 off eBay for 200 quid before they ballooned in price, and then managed to get a 3080 FE back in October.

Unless there's some astronomical advance in technology in the next couple years that makes it almost necessary to upgrade I'd say it'll be another 2 GPU cycles before I look at upgrading again.

I feel bad now that my GPU is on the go since 2012! A Radeon 6950

Also completely fine. I don't know anything about your particular setup but you can get a lot of games up and running on that card targeting 1080p and 30fps. They would probably still look better then their console versions as well

Because I don't need a 3080 and I won't help a scalper profit. I wouldn't spend €1000+ on a GPU, that sort of money is reserved for irons for golf or a new woods :P

My 3070 will be going to a friend who's upgrading his PC from a 2070 but neither of us are in a rush so there's no hurry.

To be fair I do get it. In the last year I've bought a fancy LG CX OLED and built a new small form factor(ish) PC. Over-payed on a few components but I wasn't spending the money on anything else. It was mostly for something to do and I've been tweaking with it ever since.

Yeah all that is fantastic, so why wait for MSRP? Why not just pay more for one now. Why not just get a 3090 now?
