3000 founders edition cards UK

[EasterEEL]

This is a quiet week for me so I will check regularly on Scan and nvidia store Mon-Fri as I have it on good authority that Scan are getting deliveries this week (and they supply the FE edition via the nvidia store). Will report back.

So did anybody manage to pick up a 3080 FE from that Scan drop just now? I was on their site about 30 seconds after my alert pinged up, but even by that time there was no 'Buy now button'. Refreshed the page a few times, and after a couple of minutes it was amended to say out of stock.

I looked when my alert came up and I had the same thing. Went on the site but there was no buy button until it was out of stock. Was after a 3070 really, but some of the aftermarket 3070s are the same price as the 3080 FE.

I've abruptly decided I want either a 3060ti FE or 3070 FE. (Honestly for aesthetic reasons more than anything). Currently have a 1660 Super and it serves me fine for my 1080p gaming, albeit a tad noisy at times. Hitting close to 144 FPS would be nice too.

I have the NVIDIA page bookmarked. Logged into Scan. So is it a matter of refreshing the NVIDIA page till it shows in stock? Or do I need to look at the scan page first? I'm not understanding where you go first.

I got mine via the NVidia site, that then linked to the page on Scan..

[ACBRAH]

I see. Do you suggest doing anything in particular? Like saving details somewhere or autofilling a pre-existing form so upon buying it is a seamless transaction.

Seems scan are the most reliable place to get 3000 series. Still looking to grab myself 3080. I read in these forums Scan is the exclusive seller of FE, but are they selling aftermarket cards like the TUF etc at similar intervals?

I didnt have anything saved or pre-set, had never bought from Scan before..
It got to 2pm and I had heard that they were getting some cards on the Nvidia site so I tried it, and got one..

I actually wanted a 3080 originally but missed the boat on that one..

The Part Alert discord helped me bag a 3080fe last week. Which was nice.

The link on scan changes every time for the FE cards.

[[GSV]Trig]

I'd like a 3080FE if I can get one, given how prices are going up though I doubt that's going to happen any time soon.

Also in the market for a RTX3080, but like rocking horse rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbish
Picked up a few tips here so will keep checking the likely candidate sites, currently thou always out-of-stock.

[ACBRAH]

There is word these are now discontinued as they've been pulled off NVIDIA's various sites. Gutted if so that is the case.

[[GSV]Trig]

Yeah I noticed mid-afternoon that the Nvidia option was gone from their own site, maybe they've taken it down as people are hammering it waiting for stock, or perhaps they have stopped producing the FE models, either full stop or, hopefully, at least while they are ramping up for the new releases...

[ACBRAH]

I noticed they were showing Buy Now for a bit, which redirected to an old scan.co.uk link. Then they went off completely. Anyway I'm not interested in any of the AIB cards so having to patiently wait. I trust they will be on the horizon soon, somewhere.

[Scuber]

FE cards are now showing on the Nvidia website again; prices haven't changes and, as expected, listed as out of stock.

[dannyboy75]

Thanks, that's good news. Apart from being the only cards actually listed at RRP (or MSRP if you speak American), I rather like the aesthetics of the FE cards.
