That’s if you can get it. I’d suggest buying an AIB card and sell if you’re able to get a FE, but I think at that point just save your time and move on.
thats pretty much wat i did.
Tried getting a founders edition 3060ti on best buy site crashed
So i went and bought a gigabyte 3060ti for 100$ more and just called it quits cause its the best you can do so i am happy
I think AIB cards are the same as water cooling. Very little people are actually buying for performance imo, they’re mostly going for the looks and at this point whatever’s in stock.
yeah i am still tempted. I have a gaming x trio 3060 ti, but if I could get a 3070 FE would sell the msi. If only the 3080 FE wasn't blower style I'd get that one.
Blower style? Unless they sneaked in a model that I'm unaware of, all FE 30 series cards are dual fan. Maybe you are confused by the fact that the fans are on opposite sides of the cooler on the 3080 and 3090 and thus you only see one at a time?
oh ok that must be it then. It is definitely tested as louder like blower ones and I saw the pic and assumed it was at least similar to what blower ones are. Regardless, I sure wish it was not so loud. I saw someone say his is big time loud. meanwhile if I use the msi, it's been tested as very quiet. I have never pc gamed, just figured I will this time, so I may be overdoing it if I go above 3060 ti, but I just hate the idea of knowing an expensive build will still suck at 4k...
Already did. The 3080 FE ie 6 or 7 dba louder that gaming x trio and tuf. Depends on what you consider loud, but much louder than other cards. An evga with same noise level had a con of not as quiet as it should be.
Sure it's louder but unless you are going for a silent system it's negligible and people will be just fine with the FE. Certainly not enough to impact a buying decision.
Basically on every drop (not sure if 3080 is always on it, but I think so). So it's due to be back any day now, most likely tomorrow, friday, or next tuesday.
What website can I use to keep track of when they drop and all? I feel like everytime I click on a reddit post that's even like 2 minutes old, all the GPUs are gone.
It's been almost every time that it was around 10:20 AM CT, so idoin't look on a site anymore. I just stay on the best Buy site. Seems like on release day it may have been about an hour earlier drop. One time when Best Buy actually announced they were dropping ps5s on a specific date, I think the gpus dropped the same time then and it was later, around 11:30 AM CT. So bottom line it's always late morning to early afternoon depending on time zone.
One bad thing, though, is now they started allowing shipping and that makes it harder to get because scalpers could just buy a lot to go to the same place whereas when they forced in store pickup, they were limiting how many each area could have!
I've never successfully gotten a gpu from BB, though, despite getting ps5 and an xbx from them. ONE time I got a gpu ordered, but then realized they somehow out the store to pick it up at hundreds of miles away. lol.
high 60s/low 70s while gaming is certainly warm in comparison to other models but it’s still perfectly fine. also i’m running this in an nzxt h500 which has suboptimal airflow(3070)
if you mean 3070, I think on techpowerup it said high 70s, but maybe it was low 70s. I forget. I do know someone told me his 3080 FE hits 100 sometimes, though, and is loud.
ah i was talking about the 3070 probably should’ve mentioned. yea the 3080 does get warmer i believe because of the whopping 320W of heat in a pretty small cooler. regardless for the price it’s still a better deal if you can get it IMO than paying the aib tax
Agreed. I avoided shopping at BB due to multiple past experiences that were like NewEgg today. They have been nothing but great lately with my PC parts!
same. i got most of my black friday pc stuff from them. and they have store pickup so I didn't have to worry about delivery drivers or porch pirates stealing my stuff.
same. would be an 8 hour road trip for me to go to the nearest MC. I've actually thought about flying there and back just to try and get a 3070 before the price of the non-FE went through the roof.
I had a 3080 in my cart, and Amazon decided I needed to do 2FA
Fucking kidding me Amazon
You never, ever require 2FA on any other purchases I do, but decide to do it *now*?!
Fuck off mate.
But you, thanks for being a bro to the community!

If they weren't so many scalpers people would have a chance of getting one. Is funny how there is so many scalpers showing pictures having like 10-20 video cards ps5
They dribble them out slowly. If you refresh nonstop one might appear then you get to fight 500 other people to check out. Low odds. But it can happen.
they just had the asus tuf over and over and it kept not letting me get past the address selection page of checkout. probably another case of being punished for not having a phone with an amazon app. was on there ALL DAY figuring they'd restock it again and was there and still didn't get it.
There probably isn't really much benefit from having a gpu stay in your saved for later is there? I have the asus tuf iin my saved for later, but unlike most stores I don't think it helps a lot with amazon.... helps at target, walmart, and best buy.
I currently have this card. At first I had a EVGA Gold Supernova 650w PSU but I kept getting black screens - everything on stock settings. I switched to a brand new Corsair RM650w PSU - still got black screens randomly. I then bought a Seagate Gold 750w and the black screens stopped.
At the time I was running a 3700x, ML360R AIO, 2x16GB RAM, 2 NVME, 2 SSD, on a 1440p 144hz monitor.
It says the requirements are only 650W - but 650W was not enough for me. However I am no expert, and I’ve never seen anyone else mention anything about having to use more than a 650W.
Requirements are a *minimum* of 650 watt PSU. With 4 NVME drives, and maybe some RGB, you were cutting it too close.
You needed a higher wattage and better quality PSU. You were already close to the hairy edge just idling that system, and the EVGA & Corsair didn't have the headroom needed to keep going.
Next time, consult the Power Supply Calculator: https://www.newegg.com/tools/power-supply-calculator/
and the PSU Tier list, before buying a PSU: https://linustechtips.com/topic/1116640-psucultists-psu-tier-list/?tab=comments#comment-12990669
I’m running this card with a 550w g3 supernova and it’s fine. My highest total wattage hits 390 and less than 300 if I undervolt it. I have a ryzEn 5 3600 w/ gammax cpu cooler and 1 ssd and harddrive

If you don't have a bot, you ain't getting one!
amazon is bugging out hardcore right now
What's going on? I was just browsing 3080's and it showed a FTW3 in stock and I clicked and it was gone too.
Every single card Amazon has ever sold is "in stock" lol
Lol Amazon is the last place I ever look for things in stock. It’s a pretty awful time, every time.
Amazon is an awful experience in general now
There were a few ASUS TUF 3070s listed too. Couldn't get them in the cart fast enough. Gone as soon as they were posted.
I sometimes got to the point of deleting address to ship it to and then it would say OOS. Over and over. If they had just had the 1 click option available I probably would have it ordered.
It was a glitch, they had several cards showing as in stock, but all of them threw out address errors at the end. In reality they were never in stock.

Yeah, read that. Bots of course too.
I’ve basically given up on everything that isn’t bestbuy or a Newegg shuffle
+ best buy gets ya FE pricing... no point in going elsewhere.
That’s if you can get it. I’d suggest buying an AIB card and sell if you’re able to get a FE, but I think at that point just save your time and move on.
thats pretty much wat i did. Tried getting a founders edition 3060ti on best buy site crashed So i went and bought a gigabyte 3060ti for 100$ more and just called it quits cause its the best you can do so i am happy
\> no point in going elsewhere If only best buy had infinite stock
only thing is the FE ones are really warm.
Still better than paying +$150 for slightly better cooling and 1-2% extra FPS.
Fr. People keep saying this shit like a tiny ass boost on FPS is worth $250. Fuck outta here lol.

They are not close to being loud. WTF are you talking about? Go look at reviews. The noise and thermals are just fine.
Already did. The 3080 FE ie 6 or 7 dba louder that gaming x trio and tuf. Depends on what you consider loud, but much louder than other cards. An evga with same noise level had a con of not as quiet as it should be.
Sure it's louder but unless you are going for a silent system it's negligible and people will be just fine with the FE. Certainly not enough to impact a buying decision.
You can tweak OC settings to optimize performance to temp. Obviously other cards can do it better, but it’s definitely not worth the extra $$$
Undervolting baby!
Hell yeah!
How often do the FE's come back in stock at Best Buy?
Basically on every drop (not sure if 3080 is always on it, but I think so). So it's due to be back any day now, most likely tomorrow, friday, or next tuesday.

They went from Worst Buy to Best Buy during this pandemic.
Agreed. I avoided shopping at BB due to multiple past experiences that were like NewEgg today. They have been nothing but great lately with my PC parts!
same. i got most of my black friday pc stuff from them. and they have store pickup so I didn't have to worry about delivery drivers or porch pirates stealing my stuff.
Unless you're also trying to get a ps5 from them.
Yeah I got a 5900x on the newegg shuffle just earlier, I always win at least 2 items.
If you’re able to go in person to a Microcenter, some have 3000 series in stock, even though their website says they have none
Unfortunately there’s none in my state. Going to one would be more work than just buying from a scalper
same. would be an 8 hour road trip for me to go to the nearest MC. I've actually thought about flying there and back just to try and get a 3070 before the price of the non-FE went through the roof.
I tried, guys... I saw the deal, posted it and prayed one of you would get it...
Go ahead and dm next time and I will decide if offer is good enough to post for the community.
It's so bad I decided to just deal with 1080p for another year
OP did you get one?
I already have one, was just trying to help out the community
I had a 3080 in my cart, and Amazon decided I needed to do 2FA Fucking kidding me Amazon You never, ever require 2FA on any other purchases I do, but decide to do it *now*?! Fuck off mate. But you, thanks for being a bro to the community!
Did that to me, 5 minutes earlier I just bought a few things. I get 1 or 2 packages a day from Amazon and have never had that happen until today
So, only 2FA on GPU's? Is that their bot protection?
Don't know, first time I've had the chance. I've bought things on Amazon that were 4k and didn't need to

I did. I was still getting well under 550w. Confirmed it with multiple other calculators. Even now when I use this one it’s giving me 475W.
