Take from my ass : I wouldn't rule out a Titan, there is a market for cards that cost several kidneys. If manufacturing this monster is possible, Nvidia will do it.

I think there will be a professional Titan card. 3090 is still not the entire uncut chip.
Yeah thats possible. The 3090 will most likely be the top end 'gaming' gpu but there may well be a Titan for all that other computer stuff.
I do smell shenanigans and gaps in the product range that look ripe for a "Super" revision to slot into and although Nvidia are saying that the 3090 IS the Titan this time around i really don't think they will resist putting out a 3090 Titan Edition for professionals and people with money.
They may just beef up the Quadro range though. Who knows?
I side-eye that 10GB for the 3080 every time though. Sure, it's enough for most people but i'm so used to 12 or 16 that 10 just looks iffy to me. lol.

Tried to get a 3080 from Nvidias site. Went immediately from Notify me to out of stock.
And they didnt even notify me!

Crossing my fingers but got it via newegg app.
We're super busy at work getting ready for the start of term so i didn't get a chance to go looking and chasing down timely pre-orders.
If i'd had more idle time i may have weakened and gone chasing after the new shiny but like the PS5, i'll wait.

I knew it'd fly fast but before i could check any site it was gone.
I'm still waiting to check benches of the AIB so no rush.

What's the deal with Nvidia Reflex? Linus said it would be launching today too and works even with the 900 series, do I just need a driver-update?
Ive managed to order a MSI geforce rtx 3080 trio from Overclockers which says should be in stock tomorrow. Whether im anywhere near the top of the list is another question. Probably not.
Did Nvidia.de even have any stock? It went from Notify Me at ~14:59:50 to out of stock at 15:00:00 immediately for me.
Yeah same. They either didnt have any stock or scalper bots took it all in a split second.
I got my Nvidia email notification 30 minutes ago. lol. Why bother? ha.
Every hardware site i had a look at in the UK over lunch was pretty much dying on it's ass. I bet Amazon was busy as hell with the RTX & PS5 orders opening today.

FE were in stock at 5pm CEST on the nvidia site and managed to get one. Let's hope the order actually goes through.
Two of the most silent partner cards so far are too long for my case. 
I'm not in a super hurry to get one and I don't really care about the factory overclocks, I just want a silent card.
Was leaning on MSI's Gaming X, but it's too long, same with Zotac's Trinity.
Waiting continues.

I am not seeing any 3080 FE cards being offered or presented as sold out here in Sweden. The "buy" link on my local nvidia page links to local resellers who sell partner 308os but no 3080 FEs. There is no option to buy the FE card or any indication that it has been sold out on the nvidia page.
Anyone else with this problem? Is the 3080 FE listed as sold out in your country, or is it just not available as an option?
Maybe nvidia does not want to deliver FEs to an insignificant country like mine (Sweden) ...

Im in UK. Its listed as sold out which it was instantly at the stroke of the release time.
Im now reading rumours that there is a fault with Nvidias Euro web sites and that some people have been able to order an FE in the past couple of hours.
Who knows, its a totally shit launch though.
If anyone else lives in Switzerland and is interested in getting a 3080, STEG has two offers valid only today:

699.- instead of 849,.. I mean, to get "better cards" you'd have to spend more than 900.- and I seriously doubt that by paying 20+% more you'll end up with a 20+% increase in performance.
Oh, I just noticed that PC-Ostschweiz.ch: Elektronik kompromisslos günstig zum besten Preis einkaufen. and Schweizweit beste Preise auf Computer und Teile | Jetzt beim Techmania Online-Shop kaufen have the exact same limited offer. Huh... even with the exact same layout/design...

That TUF 3080 seems to be the winner so far. 10C or more cooler than the MSI, Palit, Zotac offering.
I was able to snag a 3080 MSI Gaming X Trio from a local retailer. However, they'll only ship after the first week of October. Yikes
The price was ~good~ for Brazilian standards, being at ~1100USD.

So I've been looking at this card when it comesw back in stock - EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra Gaming 10GB GDDR6X PCI-Express Graphics Card
It says it needs 3 8 pin connectors, my cables are single that branch into 2 8 pins, so do I just leave one hanging?
Edit: had a look, cant even find any more cables in the box, but Corsair sell the cables seperately so it's not an issue

Yeah, and also not obscenely priced.
I do wonder why some of the other manufacturers don't have larger openings in the backplate. It's clearly very effective.
Probably yes, but it is a bit more complicated and I'd recommend you getting a second cable anyway.
In theory 2x8 pin should be able to provide all the power an RTX 3080 should ever need. RTX 3080 needs 310-350W of power, at least the FE cards.
Theoretically: The GPU can take 75W through the PCI-E port on your mainboard and each 8pin port can draw ~ 150W of power. In truth cards often take more through their 8 pin and pci-e connections, but that's not a problem. Means there is even more headroom.
Now for the it's a bit more complicated part:
1) Some partner cards have a higher stock power range For example the 2080Ti version of that card has a range of 300W-375W instead of 250W-300W on the 2080Ti Founders Edition. Meaning, maybe there is a reason for a third 8 pin connection. I wouldn't be surprised if the 3080 FTW3 is taking 400W+ if you overclock it.
2) It depends a bit on the 12V rail setup on your PSU. If your PSU is running a single 12V rail, than using a single cable with two eight pin connections is fine.
If it is a multi rail design, than using individual slots on the PSU for each 8 pin connection is the better solution. For high wattage cards at least.
Most PSUs today seem to use single 12v rails.
Long story short: just get a second cable and you'll be definitely fine. No matter the situation.
I take that the diference is purely the manufacturer OC, right?

Fuck, how do those 749 euros Asus cards magically become 949 euros in France ?
Yep. The MSI Gaming X Trio also is pointless with its 3x 8-pins, when the card is software-locked to 350W anyway... Absolutely no point in that third connector in its factory condition - which I am sure will be remedied with an XOC-BIOS down the line, but most consumers don't go flashing their cards.
EVGA on the other hand confirmed the FTW3 Ultra would reach 420W max, at least closer to that theoretical 525W capability.
Too bad I think the TUF Gaming branding and design is so garish and ugly.
There are often also different power limits set in bios and silicon quality can be binned.I take that the diference is purely the manufacturer OC, right?

It's really hard to say without proper testing.
I wonder how much real life game difference the TUF dual bios modes have. Does the non-OC card even have that dual bios option?
On the OC card the more silent mode seems pretty silent though hotter obviously as it changes the fan profile, but it supposedly also changes the clocks a bit, but I haven't seen specifics on how much exactly the clocks are changed and how much it affects games in the end.

TechPowerUp has some of the answers, although not in ms or fps, ASUS GeForce RTX 3080 TUF Gaming OC Review
Performance BIOS
and the quiet one:
I am sure you'll see GamersNexus talk about this precisely in their TUF review today. I couldn't find any non OC-model numbers, but I would venture a guess that you can get pretty close just with a manual overclock, unless the Bin 0 - Bin 2 silicon lottery plays a part.

And it fits in my case which turns out is very important.
But yeah, curious about the performance with the silent bios.
Thanks.
My PSU is a corsair RM750i, I can switch between single and multi rail.
I only have 2 PCIe slots on the PSU, so was going to run one 2 connection cable and one single connection cable.
Welp, just put a TUF OC card order in. money.
No estimate on the delivery as expected.
money.No estimate on the delivery as expected.
Should not be a problem, if the PSU is in half descend condition.
I would not buy one preemptively.
I'm planning to use a 3090 or 3080Ti (speculating here) with my 750W PSU + a 3900x (up to 155W).
I would like more headroom TBH, but that's just me.
I struggled to find a reasonably priced single Corsair PCIe cable so bought a whole new set

It could work but that depends how much OC you plan to do (if any).
And you might be close to the limit seeing how half of that will go to the card alone.
And you might be close to the limit seeing how half of that will go to the card alone.
I never OC because I'm dumb and I always think I'm going to mess something up.
I'd still go a bit higher since this cards can pull over 300W.
On paper it should work, but I'd like a bit of headroom.
Master is guaranteed to be a high quality, high wattage variant even at stock settings.
The PSU is probably only able to provide 530-570W peak. It's too close.
Also do not spend $114 on a 250GB SSD and $80 on a 2TB HDD.
You can get 1TB NVMe drives for ~$120 now.

Oh that's my current setup, minus the 3080. I currently have that ssd I listed but I got it for so much less like 6 years ago
