    I was convinced I was going to get an AMD card after missing out on a 3070 or 3080. Thanks to whoever it was on here that suggested Telegram, I picked up a 3070 FE yesterday from Scan (delivered this afternoon).

    For anyone else trying for the FE (or unwilling to pay through the nose at custom prices) it's good to see that they are still coming through even if it is in small quantities. The cynic in me thought there wouldn't be any after the first week, considering how the FE price is fixed at RRP.

    As someone else said, keep an eye on the Nvidia site around 2pm - about 6 Nvidia site in Europe dropped 3080 and 3070s between 2pm - 3pm (in various EU countries). UK dropped shortly after all the rest. At RRP I think the FE cards do represent good price/perf even they do have gimped amounts of memory.

    The initial AMD launch seemed to be over quicker than the Nvidia one.
