It's a blatantly obvious scam. I don't know how people even fall for them at this stage. It's the Amazon equivalent of a Nigerian prince wanting to make a deposit into your account.
What do you think is going on here? If this is ordered will they send a 3070 or something? I was tempted to order this this afternoon.
It's actually a 3080 Super Hyper Turbo Mega Extra TI in disguise! ;)
That’s a good price for a HOF card, pity you now have to get some LN2 or it’s basically not being used properly.
As for performance, it’s ONLY a 254% improvement…
Yea, I went for the KFA2 HoF. I saw the switch for Silent vs Performance mode alright. I've an all black case with no glass so I don't give two fiddlers what colour it is or whether it supports RGB or not. The card hasn't shipped yet so that'll be this week I hope. I'm coming from a GTX1080 drive a 1440p GSYNC monitor so I'm guessing that the upgrade is going to be considerable performance wise 😈
From the reviews KFA2 HoF has the best PCB around, but I'm unsure on the warranty as they don't take registration, they just "handle it via the retailer" which is OK I guess. There's a turbo button on the back that makes fans work at full speed that baffled me for a bit as I pressed it inadvertently and I couldn't figure out why it was making such a ruckus :D Best of all, it looks great on my white build - considering getting PSU white cables now to match. Performance wise I haven't stressed it yet but it seems to work 60% faster than my 3070 which is was what I was looking for.
Did you go for the KFA2 as well?
I believe DHL are supposed to ring you but strangely both my phone and my postcode were lost on the package label. So I rang them to see what was going on and they let me pay via the phone (automated system - you don't give the number to a human), took note of my eircode and delivered it the following day. So just in case you want to avoid delays, as soon as your tracking says it's in DHL Ireland's hands, give them a ring and ask.
Rover, that's exactly what I've just done now. Do DHL ring you to organise payment of the VAT or how does it work? What's the KFA2 card like?
Sad to hear that didn't work for you either but not surprised tbf. Even amazon has been a bit dodgy with stock throughout this 30x0 saga.
Never thought I'd say this but the place I'd recommend at the moment is overclockers. While they are a bit on the pricey side, it's worth it to keep an eye on the item(s) you want as they seem to lower prices when their stock isn't selling. And if they say they have stock, that means they do have stock (I suspect at times they have more than what they say they have...). Last but not least, they sell to Ireland with no VAT, so you don't get double charged, you just pay VAT in Ireland to DHL before delivery
I got my KFA2 3080TI Hall of Fame from them for GBP 1099 (+ Irish VAT), after they listed it a few weeks before for a ludicrous GBP 2099 ... ;) My patience won in the end.
Well Rover, I was on to Dodax today as to where my card was. Guess what, they cancelled my order once I enquired about it. They said that they had hoped to source it somewhere else but it was out of stock, so they decided today to cancel my order. I then went onto PCKING.de and they were showing 6 Gainward 3080s for €1100 and when I tried to order from them the order completed and then they sent me an email saying the card is out of stock! WTF is it with retailers selling gear that they've no hope of getting stock for....
I cancelled it when I decided I'd rather pay a bit more for a 3080TI. On the negative side, the cancellation was like 4 days after ordering and they hadn't shipped it yet. On the positive side, the money was back on my cc the next day (unlike that viking disaster).
Rover I just ordered a Gainward 3080 from Dodax a couple of days ago. Did your card arrive ok and how long did it take?
Yes
this must be a scam?

I would take the 3060ti or 3070,
still holding on Radeon 7950, but prices are finally falling, can see one in my reach next few months
If you're selling the 3080 give me a shout.
I've a 3070 so I'll let that go for a reasonable price as well.
Whatever one gets here quickest! I've been using a 2gb GT1030 for a couple of weeks and it's painful!
What one are you keeping?
RRP + 50 (assuming they are custom cards) although depending on who you sell them to, they might end up on Adverts the same day for +300 😅
So it looks like my RMA'd card isn't going to take the 28 days to come back to me as Scan sent out a replacement from their own stock instead of sending to manufacturer. I'm going to have a 3060Ti and a 3080 all arriving tomorrow. What would be non-pisstake prices to sell (one of) these for? They're both LHR fwiw.
Almost certainly a scam. The price is stupidly below market value. The seller has a few positive feedback comments...all from 2015/2016. Probably an old dormant merchant account that got hacked.
And this seems very odd, from that pre order link for the 3090 there is an OC version used for €882🤨
Usually, but I just setup an account on mailboxde and it's currently on its way to Ireland after being handed over to GLS.
So I managed to order an ASUS Dual RTX OC 3070 from amazon.de last night for €799.90 - most will probably think it's still grossly overpriced but it's a better deal imho than most offers around atm.
Only found it after using a site that tracks prices and availability from German stores : geizhals.de
It's not a 3 fan design, but reviews seem to be good - it's an OC version so a slightly better clock speed and a little better than an FE card, and I'd only be worried about not getting a 3-fan design like strix or tuf if I was planning to overclock the card.
Just be aware it's a Lite Hash Rate card so if you're into crypto & ethereum mining look elsewhere...
It still appears to be in stock and the link is below, just click on the 'to offer' button to take you direct to the page on amazon Germany.
https://geizhals.de/asus-dual-geforce-rtx-3070-v2-oc-90yv0fq0-m0na10-a2543983.html
As its sold via the ASUS store you'd have to go to the asus storefront on amazon.de first and search from there or just use the link above.
A few 3080TI available at Dodax for €1330
https://www.dodax.at/de-at/elektronik-computer/grafikkarten/gigabyte-eagle-12g-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3080-ti-12-gb-gddr6x-dpF3T23CK63PB/?offerId=f308c81ef9350868b2499234facc0c1d
That's about as cheap as they get at the moment. All the 2-pin cards are completely power limited, so not much difference between brands in actual performance.
Not a bad price for a 3080 TI at computer universe, €1.478,63 with shipping and Irish VAT

It's the entry Gigabyte model, but still pretty decent
and for an additional 250 they have a 3070Ti from amazon. crazy prices direct from amazon though. 1 Left

And also found some pre orders for Palit 3090's on amazon.de for €2,199.00 In stock 16th August apparently
Palit GeForce RTX 3090 GamingPro, 3X DisplayPort, HDMI, Advanced TurboFan 3.0: Amazon.de: Computer & Accessories
No, that's a terrible price. They're way cheaper in Germany.
3060 on Amazon for £653. Only 1 left.
Palit GeForce RTX 3060 Dual 12GB GDDR6 Graphics Card, 3584 Core, 1320 MHz GPU, 1777 MHz Boost, Ampere Architecture, 3 x DisplayPort, HDMI, Dual Fans with 0-dB Tech : Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories
Not sure if it's a bargain. I'm looking from something a bit lower down the pecking order tbf.
