Oc lab edition is "freebee" to overclockers 🙂 Like last year, they gave 3090 hof to participants of Galax oc event 🙂

I've Always wondered why they wait so long to release these insane overclocking models I get that they need a little time to optimize but there's literally like 6 months till the next gen launches who even cares about these anymore? Same goes for kingpin cards

Pretty sure they need that long to design, improve and test the cards. Remember any consumer product needs to go through vigorous QA testing and more which will mean 3 months of bureaucratic paper pushing at the very least. Wouldn't wanna push out your jewel of a card when there's faulty hardware on it.

Oh you mean like 3090 failures at release? 😀 I wondered the same as well. Even bought a card so late in the cycle once, MSI GTX580 Lightning XE 3GB back in the day. I can only imagine, now the engineers have time to actually play with the hardware a bit more. Maybe learn a lesson or two for future hardware.
