where are the founders?

where are the founders?

Not coming to SA except if you import. Unfortunately

 

[sachak]

ok cool. To me the whole point of this is the founders. Its what makes the 3000 series. (smaller pcb, very awesome full metal cooler with completely revolutionized design etc.

You can pick them up on eBay for $ 30,000 Other than that you're unlikely to ever see one.

Several issues with the FE:

• It is an EXTREMELY limited run, somewhere in the region of 1,000 units total.
• It is not available to the SA market
• Importing one via another country pushes the price up, and you won't have warranty unless returned to NVIDIA through the same country. This makes it EXTREMELY expensive to RMA - think R 5,000 or more. A standard international GPU RMA can cost R 2,000 - R 3,000, and that's only a single shipping trip. This will need two.
• There are aftermarket cards with better coolers

I have to somewhat agree. I wouldn't say it makes Ampere, but the design is definitely very interesting and unique. Definitely will hold some resale value. Which is exactly why I'm buying an FE 3090 and having it shipped to my mom's place.

Can you show me a link where it says that its limited? I just searched and found nothing saying that its a limited edition....I know they have limited stock now and Nvidia apologized for this. But I am a very patient guy. I am in no rush to spend an exorbitant amount on a card that everywhere else in the world is half the price of the 20 series yet SA charges the same as the 20 series LOL.

 

[sachak]

as for after market cards with better coolers. unfortunately that just isn't true. yes if you have 1 in your system that may hold true. But you cannot stack those after market things for GPU rendering the way you can stack Founders cards. I currently have 4x 1080ti stacked on top of each other for GPU rendering and it works due to the fact that they vent out the back of the case. no after market cards can do that other than the turbo which unfortunately doesn't do it as well as its closed at the back so you can't push air into the back to help with cooling. Founders are the best for stacking hands down.

Multi GPU rendering is a tiny, tiny, tiny part of market. You're the guy who says a ball mouse is better than optical as you use a sheet of glass as a mousepad Your usage makes up 1% of the 1%, so my point stands.

I use a R.A.T. 9 mouse and a massive mouse pad that takes care of my mouse and keyboard for gaming and I use a wacom for my work! and Multi GPU rendering these days is massive! it's nothing like it was a decade ago, especially with renderers like Redshift and octane and cycles. I would go so far as to say that the biggest bulk buy of GPU's is for big render farms like Reebus and animation studios who use GPU rendering and then also miners. Gamers buy one card at a time, where as we buy upwards of 4 GPU's at a time and render farms buy upwards of 1000 GPU's at a time. we are most certainly not the 1%

The larger rendering farms use Quadro (and sometimes even Tesla) cards for rendering for the driver support and ECC memory. For every small rendering farm, there are 1,000 gamers buying cards, so yes - you remain in the 1%

Any news on those Gigabyte cards? I placed a preorder on the 17th.

 

[Juggy]

Yo, when do you get cards, what are you getting and can you ship to the Middle East?

 

[Screamer]

A buddy and I are Interested in Asus TUF Gaming OC or Strix OC. Any idea when you will be able to source either?

Also ordered same time, any news @Oj0 ?

 

[Oj0]

Hey guys, please mail through enquiries or PM me, I don’t spend much time following threads. Regarding the ETA, I’ll update you as soon as I have an update (should be later this week)

 

[AcePolygon]

Hi Oj0. Any cards still available?

Well... Then there's the issue of resistors used or replaced with inferior ones, making most aib cards unstable...

Good time to be in the US for work I guess. 😋
