So what’s your plan of action now this new information has come to light?
Think I'm going to sleep on it. Never had a gaming pc before but I read it's pretty easy to add in the gpu separately. Those FE 3080s are gorgeous!
Aren’t they just! I’ve never seen a graphics card with such a sleek aesthetic before. Fitting a GPU isn’t as terrifying as it initially seems, it’s actually really quite simple. I remember having a ‘is that it?’ moment when I first changed one 😆

They are absolutely stunning, not only that though, the cooler is quite remarkable, outperforming the 2080ti cooler despite putting out more heat.
Do we know if it’s just the FE cards that have that cooler design? I’d not really thought to look up what the other brands are doing...

We’ve had a few renders of third party cards and so far they’re all the usual dual fan / triple fan setups.

Thanks for sharing. It’s a bit disappointing, really. Such a clever bit of design and nobody’s jumped on it. Hopefully later iterations will utilise it. If cards continue to kick out more heat as generations go on, innovation like that is key.
Yeah, two separate events in October. I might just hold out. Seems a waste to buy now and upgrade as probs won't get my money back on 3900/3950X lol
Back from my holiday.
Not yet watched AMD's event (0.18Mbps 3G wasn't enough man power to watch streams/events lol). Will watch in a bit.
What's everyone's thoughts on the CPUs? Now I can look at a build, finally! £2,500 budget - should I make a new thread to keep it fresh? lol

Hope you had a good holiday and you haven’t got face mask tan lines 😁
Keep the thread going, it’s good to keep all the info in one place... and it’s almost a year old, it’d be nice to see it reach it’s first birthday 😆👍
I think the new CPUs look fantastic, Intel have really got their work cut out if they plan on catching up. The 5800X looks like the go to gaming chip for the foreseeable future, I’m happy with my 3800X but if I was planning a new build anytime soon it’d be a no-brainer.
I did indeed, thank you! No tan though as we remained in the UK, Devon. Was sunny though so that was a bonus.
I was originally gonna get 3900X and 2080TI then it changed to 3080. Feel 3090 is just wasted money for my use-case for like extra 20fps? Dunno.
However, I want the FE card so my PC will have to likely sit around for many more months until more widely available before I can use it lol!
I'm going with 1440p 144hz minimum display (x2) Maybe x3 again. £2,5000 (can add £500 more "if worth it") PC only. Will be using my BlackWidow Elite I got on Prime Day (£75) and G502 LIGHTSPEED mouse (purchase pending).
3: Game on middle monitor only left/right monitors for Twitch Chat, Spotify etc.WTR to the monitors, what is your use case? There is a huge difference between gaming on 1 monitor while using 3 for productivity... compared to gaming on all 3
2: Game on one - everything else on the other. I'll probably get 2 and then get a 3rd a few months later-in. Which might allow me to buy a better 3rd to then be the gaming one.
When i'm not gaming: Coding/Programming (my job) and light video editing (just a couple of videos a month like stream highlights).
