Mod 13/9 (copy paste of the report reply): For those reporting that RRP should be in the forum or similar, there is no such guideline. As always the community will decide if it's a good deal or not via the voting system and/or comments. In general, a deal can be good value or of interest without being discounted as such, whilst a deal can be discounted but still be of little interest or poor value. In any case it's up to members to decide. In relation to potential issues about the deal details, should the deal not go ahead as posted, or another issue that breaches guidelines, it will be removed at that time. Please use TWAM for other issues and keep comments respectful. Thanks

Mod 2 15/9: Mwave has now announced there will be a raffle to purchase (that's a new one). The main deal link has been updated and the deal post moved to forums. Please join the raffle should you be interested in purchasing and continue discussion in the comments below.

        Downvoted for the truth. Seems a lot of people disagree that RRP deals get posted. They've never seen the Nintendo Switch or the Aldi deals so they may need a Specsavers deal.

    Why every one is hyped this much ? I will wait and see if these cards meet the expectations and what NVIDIA claims. Everyone is waiting for the benchmarks, so wait.

          Negative vote because of personal understanding of a bargain isn't abusing. If others believe it's somehow a bargain it's their right to upvote, not to "annoy those that are salty".

      less output and worse cooling usually but you get it sooner

      • Epic CC on 12/09/2020 - 23:30

        how about the price in general? I am using a 1080 atm and I am fine with it so I can wait. I am trying to spend my money wisely so if the upside of FE is only allow me to get it sooner, I think i should wait for other brands to public their cards in this case?

        • Freestyle on 13/09/2020 - 01:20
          +1

          AIBs should be anywhere from 50 to 200 more expensive

          But this time founders edition comes with a totally different cooling design, the embargo for these lifts on the 16th so you'll have time to make a decision after watching reviews

          I also prefer these sort of design then the RGB bullshit

    This will be worse than an eBay or Catch of the day lottery sale. Servers will crash and the (probably) 50 cards they do have will be sold out instantly (or pre-allocated to Mwave friends and family already).

    Don't kid yourself. If you score one of these cards it will be a miracle.

    • BargainKen on 13/09/2020 - 08:41

      Assuming you'd even want to settle for the slot cooler design that dumps hot air right into the CPU/RAM area of a system. What a great design! Kinda prefer an AIB card if the price is right.

        Why do you guys upvote a deal that is rrp, how is it a bargain? The value of this site is it highlights bargains if I just want to know the rrp I can look literally anywhere else.

        That said, it does seem like there is some inconsistency here, I had always thought rrp posts were banned because at best they are pointless at worst their product announcements. Do we want to go through this crap with AMD cards, with samsung phones, with iphones, posts getting hundreds of upvotes just for telling us that its available? Sorta defeats the value of the site at least imo.

        • Hybroid on 13/09/2020 - 01:57
          +12

          To answer your question, bargains can be subjective. While this may be the RRP, the fact that these cards are not only exclusive in very limited quantities but that they are likely to be cheaper than third party ones is considered a bargain to some.

          There's also those that don't want such posts here and others that do and it will forever divide the community. Same for Nintendo Switches and other popular things. At the end of the day, there's no detriment to the site but in fact drives more traffic and helps other people who are interested.

          I have no interest in the tons of cheap Chinese crap that is posted here daily, Xiaomi and whatnot, many of which are just the regular price, but not complaining about it. It helps some people.

          • BaarOzGain on 13/09/2020 - 08:44

            @Hybroid: Agreed, particularly with the third paragraph, specially now that China government has imposed tariff, bans etc. on Aussie products

            +3

            @Hybroid: You raise good points that these cards may be considered valuable to some, although that doesn't make it a "bargain", the word you used.

            These posts ARE a detriment to the website because it's forumsliding (putting all the valuable information as old by posting new "deals" on the front page to replace it). The "new traffic" is even worse—bringing in new users who expect this website to just be front page RRP advertisements instead of what it is supposed to be—posting bargains or deals.

            I've never had a problem with the Xiaomi items because whenever I've looked at it they were marginally cheaper than other competing websites…which I can't say the same for RRP item posts such as these.

            And for the record that Nintendo Switch stuff should also be posted on the forum if they're just RRP advertisements…ideally anyway!

              @h047j9fg9j83p: What about Aldi? Everything they have is RRP.

                +2

                @Clear: I don't know anything about Aldi posts but if it's RRP stuff I don't consider it worthy of being on the front page.

                If one wants to view RRP advertisements they can just turn off their adblocker and view the targeted ads on the side of most websites. That's just my opinion, at the end of the day I have no power. Just hoping to spread awareness that posting non-deals is forumsliding.

      there's a difference, these cards have just been announced and haven't been released, classifying these prices as a bargain is just kissing nvidia's ass.

    Are the founder edition ones better than the custom ones sold by companies such as Asus/MSI/sapphire/xfx….etc?

    What's special about founder editions? I always find the one fan one these cards a turn down for me.

    • Top G on 13/09/2020 - 01:26

      You get bragging rights, ima rtx 3080 founder etc

    • Hybroid on 13/09/2020 - 02:00

      They're very limited edition cards so the exclusivity is sought after and subjectively look much better than the third party ones with overstyled designs and RGB. They're likely to be cheaper too and also hold their value much much better.

      However, third party cards generally will have better coolers although real world difference is negligible. The RTX30 generation has 2 fans in a different push-pull configuration with beefier heat pipes which will be interesting.

  • mthwstwrt on 13/09/2020 - 01:28

    Hey guys,

    I have a AMD 3950x - it's mostly a work machine but I do game on it as well.

    Would the 3950x be a bottleneck? i.e. I know it's a kick ass cpu but there's a lot of general sentiment out there you need a intel cpu to really be the best for games.

    i.e. would I get much benefit on my system from getting a 3090 vs a 3080. I don't mind buying the 3090 as a 5 year purchase.

    cheers

      That’s a monster of a CPU! In real-world gaming performance, you’d be unlikely to see a difference of more that 5 fps from any Core i9 Intel (while significantly outperforming them in multi-core applications for your work purposes).

      Also, keep in mind that in 5 years, a mid-range GPU will offer similar performance to a 3090, at a fraction of the cost. And we don’t know about Big Navi yet either - AMD is confident it will compete at 4K this generation.

      Once Big Navi is out, Nvidia will release full-memory variants of the 3070 and 3080 (with 16GB and 20GB), which will have above RRP price points. Meanwhile, they’re driving demand through these loss-leader Founders Edition cards with artificially scarce stock quantities.

      Nvidia and Intel are both masters of winning mindshare, and keeping their profit margins high, while surreptitiously being anti-consumer.

        Am I wrong in saying that the new cards will bypass the CPU entirely? Wasn't that in Nvidia's press video or did I miss read/hear that part.
