I just saw both Short Circuit and Jayztwocents videos on the RTX 3080 and they both talk about the embargo to release performance reviews but none said any dates.

 

Does anyone know when the embargo will be lifted and we'll get some juicy benchmarks?

Well that sucks for me cuz I was wondering whether or not the EVGA version will be worth the $100+ extra to avoid that dumb 12 pin placement and likely better cooling. I guess I'll just have to take the leap of faith once again.

Meh. I'll wait till we have reviews and GamersNexus has put the different models through the ringer. Though as a watercolor, I am more concerned with block compatibility, VRM/power delivery, and overclockability.

Ek already have waterblocks listed. They are designed for Reference Boards NOT FE.
And They Did team up with MSI for the MSI EK Trident that came with the waterblock pre installed.
So they may do that again.

I just saw an message from Nvidia that said it's the 16th.  I don't know if they changed it from the 14th or not.  It also mentions that October 15th is the release date for the 3070.

Why now the 16th, nobody has said this so far, would be worth mentioning...
