With just one day to go before NVIDIA's big GeForce Ampere reveal on September 1, the ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3090 was pictured in a leak. Furthermore, Gainward appears to have accidentally listed the RTX 3090 Golden Sample variant on its website before quickly taking it down.

"Accidentally" leaks, hah hah, just like every single other OEM for the last week.
Yep, must suck to be an OEM, having to wait up to 2 weeks after Nvidia launches a new generation, watching people go out and buy Founder's edition cards, rather than waiting for the custom ones.
If only they had some way of stealing Nvidia's thunder and persuading potential buyers to hold out and wait... ;)
It is rumoured that aib pre-orders will be open on the same day as the fe cards
