I am very disappointed by BEST BUY and MICRO CENTER for not having a clear, concise and coherent launch day plan.

Each store had very few cards on hand.

Each store KNEW launch day would be a big deal.

Each store KNEW we had a Covid-19/social distancing issue and crowds SHOULD NOT GATHER...

People were lined up early. People waited. With the exception of myself, people walked away disappointed.

ALL OF THESE STORES should have done pre-orders, vouchers and curbside pickup where applicable.

I hoped for a founder's edition but I didn't expect to get one when I started hearing of paltry inventory. I then focused on EVGA next because I love EVGA equipment.

The card installed easily, without issue and the drivers downloaded through GEFORCE EXPERIENCE with ease.



A nice bonus to the EVGA cards is the lack of a 12-pin connector. All four of EVGA's 3080 cards feature standard 8-pin connectors, the XC models get two of them while the FTW3 has three 8-pin connectors.

I don't know much about the FTW3's specifications, like clock speeds and power delivery, yet, but if history is anything to go by, the FTW3 models will be overclocking monsters, which explains the need for extra power.


Waiting to see the 3090 Kingpin.
