Managed to push the button on a FE 3090#

[rapid]

I have been waiting since last year (1 year 5 months) for a new card but could never get one  as just  like everyone else Scalpers, Crypto miners etc you know the score. 

But I just kept on looking every now an then. I have  always fancied a  Founders Edition. 

 

Today I was able to snag one for £1399 MSRP. I was at the  point do I hit the tit and click on buy or  shall I wait?

 

The 3080ti is the real sweet spot but when will I be able to purchase one and at what price we are even hearing of price rises too? 

Some 3080ti's are retailing at £1499 which is the price of a 3090!

 

I posted once on the forums  here  "That it's not about the card that you want....it's about the card you can get"

 

So I hit the buy button and it should be here tomorrow a brand spanking F E 3090

 

Hope you guys get lucky too.

Congrats. I'll pm you my address.

[Csgo GE oh yeah]

Got my 3090 wayyy back when some people still had hope that the 3080 would become somewhat available within a few weeks from launch. 
I actually did manage to get a 3080 from an actual store before that, at scalper price though. 
But it was too noisy for me. 

 

Anyway, it did hurt a little while pressing in my pin number, but knowing now that it was going to take 1.5 YEARS for anything to become available again i'm glad i did.

I hear you, I built this new system way back in March 2020 and wanted a 3000 series to pop in my new PCIe 4.0 build so I put a RTX 2070 in while I waited for the release of the 3080....and I waited....and I waited....and I waited and finally got a FE 3090 albeit it took a year and a half and I got it at MSRP so well pleased.

Now I can crunch anything that DCs throws at me.
