It's true, the Moose will take your thumbs if you don't fill the collection plate. There's no swinging the ban hammer without any thumbs... and you'll never be able to hitch a ride again.

I preordered mine from Scan... who knows when I'll get it though. It's probably the only thing stopping me from switching to a 3090 GPU to rush my PC. 2020 sucks.

This has just been a bonkers year, I won't miss it at all!
That's the perfect image for 2020

GPU really is a beast
I decided to swap mine out for the RX 6900 XT, don’t have the patience to wait 4 or more months for the 3080.

Little hiccup dont get disheartened by it you will soon be playing away with it
That’s right, Intel plan to be going PCIe 4.0 in the first quarter of this year but they’re not there yet.

I actually just looked it up. Gigabyte seems to have done a PCIE 4.0 Mobo for intel ? Or is it a white lie?
That’s interesting! Looks like it may be supported by Gigabyte but they’ve obviously let that slip before any official announcements.

Well, I'm not too worried about it anymore as I've checked benchmarks and performance changes between the PCI 3.0 and 4.0 changes. And woo boy is it nearly completely negligible. Although I would like to know if there are any differences when running game engines or 3D modelling tools.
But yeah, apparently the Gigabyte Z490 Aorus Master has PCIe 4.0

Only PCS can tell you that, you'll still be in the queue, so depends when you ordered it.
Remember that’s at the moment, also very few benchmark reviews have had things like PCIe motherboard, Zen 3, M.2 at full PCIe 4.0 (in raid), latest AMD GFX card and compared that to an Intel setup.
I watched one review of Samsung 980 Pro’s in raid configuration and for some Apps, it was a big step and a chunk of time taken off processing time.
Also Software is being changed to take advantage of new architecture.
in regards to Motherboards, yes various manufacturers have released new boards, as Intel are due to release their latest CPU in March, this will be 4.0, however it is an interim processor as they are still having big problems getting out of the whole they are in.

Nope, I emailed PCS and all they've really told me is they have a few 3090 cards. I am considering switching still as as my art career was a bit of a paper launch.
Judging by how many 3090's are beginning to stay-in-stock I'm thinking it may not be too long of a turnover anymore. However you have to consider WHY 3090's are beginning to stay in stock.
They're over priced.
That’s not necessarily true. They are if you’re thinking of the 3090 as a gaming card. But for what it offers as a monster workstation rendering card, I think the price is in the right ballpark.
