Negative, Nvidia has confirmed the 3070 availability has been pushed back to October 29th.

NVIDIA pushes GeForce RTX 3070 graphics cards back. NVIDIA changes the launch date to October 29th NVIDIA has postponed the launch of its GeForce RTX 3070 graphics card by two weeks. The manufacture has already updated its webstore information. The cards will be available for sale on October...

Same issue. My MI-6 is my HTPC right now with a 1070 in it. That’s fine for my 1080P 60hz TV, but I plan to get a 4K 120hz TV. The good news is that at living room distance I don’t see much of difference between 1080p and 4K on TVs. The bad news is that 60hz feels awful to me after playing at 120hz for so long on my main rig. Need those frames...
I think the best bet is going to be the 3060 Ti, 180W so they ought to be able to make an itx version.
Hope someone has something in the pipeline. I'm open to a different case but the Mi-6 has a nice small footprint.
The RTX 3080 stories keep coming. The TL;DR oversimplified version is that MSI was caught scalping 9maybe a rogue employee trying to get a promotion?) its own cards on eBay under a different name (that of a corporate subsidiary). GN as usual did some investigating in addition to the reddit sleuthing

Any sign of ITX ampere GPUs right now??? Perhaps Gigabyte or MSI might release their mini-itx model
Not yet, if ever**
**Reason being Ampere is crazy power hungry and generates a ton of heat. The most powerful Turing GPUs that could be made ITX sized (thinking 2070) are nearly half the thermal power of Ampere 3080. 3070 FE is close in thermal power to a 2080 FE, according to Nvidia's own specs page. Simply making a cooler capable of keeping the card cool in an ITX form factor is the problem
Maybe the 3060, come sometime in December will finally run cool enough to be able to be cooled in a 180mm form factor.
Oh, maybe then make a mini-itx ampere GPU that is designed for watercooling? Like the Gigabyte Aorus Waterforce
The FE has a very short PCB so will be close to itx size with a waterblock. Otherwise don't expect an aircooled one until possibly 3060 Ti.
Watercooled ITX gpu's make little sense in a way that if there's space for a separate radiator and who knows what else, then better just use a full sized pgu instead of the whole watercooling scenario. Mini gpu's are mostly used in the smallest cases like Velka 3 and the like.
I would also like to see an Ampere itx gpu and I'm a bit disappointed that this new generation was only focused on performance so much that they did not care too much for power consumption and temperatures. I understand that it's probably easier to make some card powerful like that, but innovation in other areas, like consumption and temps can also be called progress, it should be regarded as a worthy direction to head towards, espeically nowdays. I think that focusing on these departments would be the best for the SFF community, yet currently even the bigger cases struggle with the strange cooling solutions that the 3080 and 3090 FE cards have.
Yet one aftermarket company should realize that the users require mini gpu's are not an insignificant amount, if we take into account that nobody did an Ampere itx card yet. So whoever makes the first product, will totally reap the whole market for themselves! A lot of people with Velka 3, K39, Geeek 30, Lazer3D and who knows what else will make purchase. First company to do it will get all the money. This should be enough motivation for any of them to make one.

I’ll just wait for Asus’ Turbo versions.

Check out all of our buffed-up GeForce RTX 3070, RTX 3080, and RTX 3090 graphics cards
GeForce RTX 30-series GPUs are here, and we've buffed up all of our graphics cards to match.
The Gigabyte 3090 was tested in the Ghost S1, thermals are fine but as noted is quite loud.
