[naive kelp]

I was on my app trying to refresh early before/during and right after and poof

next time ima just stab the browser

[languid knot]

I was close to an FE. Im not mad about not getting it Ive just checked so much its getting tiring

[exotic bolt]

did any cards go live today?

[naive kelp]

3090 did for..a split second lol

[languid knot]

not on nvidias site

[naive kelp]

unsure if any 3080s came back on

[languid knot]

they did at 1am est. when I went to bad at 12:30 est....

[faint kindle]

Gigabyte cards did twice for a combined total of 0.50 seconds on Best Buy

[exotic bolt]

I am hoping that my cooler master H500m can keep it nice an cool

[spare relic]

Millions of 2080Tis found abandoned at the bottom of rivers across the country, authorities baffled

[languid knot]

Im getting the 4000d airflow

[exotic bolt]

the two 180mm fans on the front just pump air through the case

and I have a deep rock pro four so thats just a wind tunnel in there

[languid knot]

Im buying all my parts this weekend because Im either going to be stuck with all of the parts and no gpu, or a gpu and no parts

[naive kelp]

am big sad

only gpu left lol

AMD only gives us until november 2nd to get a free AC valhalla

[exotic bolt]

I am mainly glad I got mine now because now I can sell my RTX 2080 while theres still a shortage and may still get like 450 for it

[spare relic]

Assetto Corsa Valhalla

[languid knot]

Im buying the r7 3700x. I think it will be best for what I need

[exotic bolt]

still rocking my I7 9700k

few years I may upgrade to a ryzen

[drowsy bramble]

I’m stuck with all my parts and no gpu

[languid knot]

Ill get the 3700 and when it starts to get out of date Ill upgrade

[drowsy bramble]

And a RMA motherboard

Lol

[languid knot]

Nvidia sold FEs the whole lifespan of the 20 series right?

[left briar]

if you look, seems like nvda still selling their 2060S FE edition lol

[languid knot]

Okay. I just wanted to make sure I would have the ability to get the 3080 FE for more than a month

[lone pond]

My first monitor is a TV, it worked, Same cord, all that fun stuff, then i added my second monitor and now suddenly my first one isn't working, Tried using detect and updating drivers, Also not plugged in the Motherboard,
Update i fixed it.

and i messed that up

[languid knot]

lmaooo no 2

love it

Idk if they will for the future, but nvidia has been over 2-3 days it seems

I would assume they will continue to

Im refreshing every hour or so. Dont have any bot programs and I dont know if itll work but we will see I guess

[drowsy bramble]

Mr. blub what does windows button +p do for you

Tried alternate ports?

[celest wave]

man

you guys make me sad

and more conflicted

[languid knot]

Ab?

[granite wraith]

is it weird to buy a 1080p monitor these days?

I see they still sell them

[drowsy bramble]

No it’s not weird

Works for some people’s budgets

It would be weird to buy a 3080 and then run a 1080p monitor

[granite wraith]

yeah. my gpu is old, but I dunno when I'll upgrade it

all my games that I actually play run pretty well in 1080p though

[drowsy bramble]

Yea if you don’t run/can’t run higher than 1080 and it works why change it

[restive grove]

i bought four 1080p monitors

[granite wraith]

yeah, I kinda need a 2nd monitor for my kid. so I was thinking of just getting myself another 1080p

[drowsy bramble]

That’s a 4320p

Yea just get another 1080 especially if it’s a 2nd monitor

[restive grove]

was a great deal because it was for kids

[drowsy bramble]

(I run dual 1440 but it bugs me if things aren’t symmetrical)

[restive grove]

pixio 24inch 144mhz

oh and curved

[granite wraith]

is the 144 a lot better than 60?

[drowsy bramble]

Not if your not running over 60 frames

[granite wraith]

yeah, I don't think I am currently

[drowsy bramble]

Then you would not know

Any difference

[granite wraith]

gotcha

[drowsy bramble]

Other than a lighter wallet

[granite wraith]

yeah I don't want that

[drowsy bramble]

Lol

[granite wraith]

maybe I'll just leave the kid using his 20 inch or whatever it is and hold off on getting a monitor until I've upgraded my gpu. whenever that is

it's so sad though. I feel sorry for him

[drowsy bramble]

At least it isn’t a Apple 2c

That’s what I started with lol

[restive grove]

ok take care i need sleep

[granite wraith]

maybe by the time I get a new card, the 1440's will drop in price a bit

later

[drowsy bramble]

Should in theory

[high nimbus]

No EVGA 3080 tomorrow

[languid knot]

no nvidia restocks tonigh

[agile parrot]

I got a 3080 for 750 on offerup

The zotac card

[high nimbus]

@agile parrot amazing deal. Cheapest card that’s available in my area is 1,400

Did you know you can buy a new 20 series EVGA card right now and get in queue for a EVGA 3080/3090 while only paying the difference in MSRP when it is ready? It’s called the EVGA step up program, and could be helpful to anyone that sold their GPU’s expecting to get launch day stock. I’ve talked to so many people that were not aware. Yes, you may end up waiting a couple months for a card, but IMO that’s better than refreshing webpages for days on end without a GPU.

[languid knot]

But I hate myself why would I take the easy way out

[high nimbus]

Wouldn’t even apply to you Mr FE or bust

[agile parrot]

I guess I got lucky lol,

[languid knot]

Lmao you right

[agile parrot]

It was posted only a few hours beforehand and I got it

Its gonna ship tomorrow so ill post next week when I get it

[grizzled nimbus]

gamer

[native tulip]

anyone out here have a 330mm+ gpu inside of a corsair 680x case?

[viscid dove]

anyone see a cheap 1080 out there lmao

[native tulip]

tbh if you're just getting a placeholder I'd go for a 2060 and get one new for the same price as a 1080

get an evga 2060 and step it up

[viscid dove]

yea i just want a place holder for rn till i can get some more cash

[native tulip]

yeah, if you know you'll have the cash within 3 months

[viscid dove]

do i shop used or is there somewhere more trustable

[native tulip]

check out EVGA's "step up program"

[viscid dove]

oh?

[native tulip]

If you buy a new one, you can send it back to them for a new model for cost + the item

[viscid dove]

i kinda like fe better thugh lmao

but ill check it out

[native tulip]

I mean, that's all personal preference, to be honest, I like buying cards that are already overclocked at factory settings

I don't want to bother with any of that stuff when i buy the top end cards lol

[viscid dove]

I kinda do, but mainly i like the way the fe cars look

cards*

[native tulip]

Gotcha. I just hate where the cable comes out. It's a no sale for me haha

[viscid dove]

and since they have a better cooler now, im even more down

[native tulip]

Why did they make the wires hide the RTX rgbs

[viscid dove]

yea i get it

[native tulip]

and then it doesn't vertically mount well

[viscid dove]

someones gunna find away around it

[native tulip]

it'll blow right onto your nvmes lol

[viscid dove]

and yea, im not planning on verical though

[native tulip]

That was going to be my plan if i were to get one until i thought about it a little more

the only problem with some of these aibs is they just wont fit in your case if it's high end and you have like a meshify c case

lol

[viscid dove]

yea true, they getting thic now

thicccccc*

[keen storm]

Hey guys! I'm not sure if anyone is still awake, but I have a quick question about the EVGA Step-Up Program. If I were to purchase a EVGA RTX 2080, and add it to the Step-Up Program, how long will it take until I'm able to get the EVGA RTX 3080?

[native tulip]

lol no one knows that answer

[round mason]

@keen storm it will take a long while my dude. they are prioritizing selling the 3080's instead of having them as a step up

and its gonna be like that until next year most likely

[keen storm]

Jesus... Because I'm getting tired of just staring at my screen for the 3080, and if I'm GUARANTEED one over the course of like two months or something, then I might consider

[round mason]

i think the step up program was implemented so that people who cant get the 3080 will have a gpu to use until stocks become more readily available they can get a chance to get the 3080

[keen storm]

But if it's going to be possible December, or later, then no thanks lmao

[round mason]

what gpu do you have rn

[keen storm]

Zotac 1080

I already purchased all new components, the only thing that I haven't purchased is the 3080, and the 4th gen Ryzen series (currently have a Ryzen 5 2600x)

[languid knot]

I’d just wait for a 3080

A 1080 is fine for now

[hardy plank]

does anyone have a solution to a 2060 super clocking at 300mgz

[ionic coral]

Step-up has been around for quite some time

[high nimbus]

@keen storm couple months man. Really meant for people that like sold their GPU’s in anticipation.

[stone raft]

Lol people on reddit are getting restless and angry

[ancient crystal]

i'm getting an RX 5600 XT

four days remain (majora's mask screen)

[limpid latch]

ill wait for a 3080 20gig, or 3080ti hydrocopper

[proper dragon]

What is a good cpu and gpu bundle

For 650 dollars

[ancient crystal]

define good

are you gaming at 1080p?

[faint kindle]

I guess of the top of my head I’d say 3700x and 1080 isn’t a bad combo for that price

https://www.ebay.com/p/1183130452?iid=274490268669&chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=274490268669&targetid=935431404933&device=m&mktype=pla&googleloc=200524&poi=&campaignid=10897348744&mkgroupid=114065835024&rlsatarget=pla-935431404933&abcId=9300403&merchantid=6296724&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI6PCtrMGE7AIVko7ICh1PLgKWEAQYBCABEgKtPfD_BwE

Here’s a 1080 for $350

3700x is ~$300 iirc

[ancient crystal]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Zotac-Geforce-GTX-1080-8GB-Mini-Graphics-Card-Fast-Ship-Cleaned-Tested/153904041448

$289

[faint kindle]

Even better

[ancient crystal]

Zotac is good heck

heck is the replacement for all no no poo poo words

now

[faint kindle]

Yeah man, heck poo poo words

[ancient crystal]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/GTX-1080-G1-GAMING-GIGABYTE-GV-N1080G1-8GB-NVIDIA-GeForce-GRAPH/233723637234 sup

this is in RX 5600 XT price territory

I might grab one of these 1080s if the chance arises

but i dunno

they were popular mining cards

[proper dragon]

What is a good pair with the 2060

[faint kindle]

3700x is good

I think 1080 slightly better than 2060 in most aspects?

[proper dragon]

Is the 5 3600xt a good pair

[dense flicker]

yes

[proper dragon]

Is a 500w ok for 2060 and 3600xt

[vale forge]

Anyone hear about any planned restocks today? I doubt it as it’s Friday, figure I’d ask

[faint kindle]

Apparently TUF 3080 dropped on Amazon but as soon as I got notification they were gone

[vale forge]

Ditto

[ancient crystal]

for a 2060 i'd even go so far as to say cheap out a bit and get an R5 3600X

2060 is not a very powerful GPU to be honest

my R7 2700 does not """bottleneck""" something like that

and it's an old CPU

[bitter jungle]

@proper dragon yeah

[proper dragon]

Ok

[vale forge]

Just landed my EVGA 2080s, found out at micro center that with step up program you able to have them send you the card first with a security deposit. So they more than likely keep the credit on hold until they receive the card and then they release the credit. So anyone interested in the step up program. I would recommend getting a EVGA card ASAP as supply is limited. It might take a month or two before you get the 3080, but at least the 2080s is a solid card for the time being.

[green harness]

Do any other AIBs have a similar offer? Just out of curiosity, seems like that could be a decent way for evga to drive some business

[languid knot]

Nope. Just EVGA from what I’ve seen

My recommendation agrees with what @vale forge said, unless you want a certain card. If you need a card rn and don’t mind the EVGA 3080, do the step up, if not I would recommend just waiting a few more weeks for the 3080 you want since no other companies do it

[faint kindle]

I’m sure the list is quite ridiculous by now though

Last I checked, no 2080ti in stock and only 1 2080s

[vale forge]

The EVGA FTW Ultra is apparently one of the better cards on the market. Worse case scenario you get the 3080 from EVGA, you play with it and a better card gets released or a card you really wanted originally become plentiful, you can always sell it for either just below or above MSRP and use that money towards a different card

[faint kindle]

But at least when you put in for it, they can’t just say that it’s too late because you’re on the list, so you have a card to do you over til then

Yeah the ftw3 is always in high demand

[vale forge]

I went to my local micro center and asked the sales rep if they happened to have any 2080s in the back, as they only had open boxed 2070s on the floor. He went and looked and sure enough had a brand new 2080s in the back

[faint kindle]

As are strix

Nice, 2080s is a good card

I had one, no complaints about it

[vale forge]

Yea it is. And it costs about as much at the FTW, so when I do the step up I pay like $50 and bam I’m guaranteed a 3080, whether it’s a week or a couple months. I’ll get it

And the fact that I can have them send me the new card and then ship them the 2080s with a security deposit makes it all that much better. Because now I don’t lose out on and gaming 😂

[languid knot]

I’m not wanting to pay $800 for a card if I can so I’m hoping to get the FE for less. I know it doesn’t perform quite as well tho 😅

[vale forge]

And there is nothing wrong with that. Most people look at thermals after performance.

[languid knot]

Yeah the thermals for the FE is good enough for me and I’m getting the Corsair 4000d airflow and adding some extra fans to it so it should work fine

[restive grove]

https://www.techradar.com/news/some-people-are-running-into-some-serious-rtx-3080-problems

[faint kindle]

oof

[restive grove]

not enough thermal paste on the gpu maybe?

[vale forge]

Well they come with 3 year warranties lol.

[languid knot]

Probably a driver issue

If it’s just crashing to Home Screen. I could be wrong but I feel like it’s a bug

[stone raft]

@vale forge thanks for this...I will hit up my microcenter

I need to look up how the program works...like you pay for the card but how much is the upgrade

[worthy prawn]

U pay the difference

[vale forge]

@stone raft you pay the difference for the upgrade. So if you pay $500 and the FTW is $800 you pay $300. Although I’m not sure how the credit hold works yet

[stone raft]

Gotcha...guess I'ma do that program at microcenter, if I don't get it next week.

[celest wave]

Tbh while still bad the 3080 stock is getting better

Personally I'd do the EVGA step up if the ftw wasn't a 100 bucks over founders

And also I'm across the country

So shipping sucks

At 1440p it should be ok?

[maiden plinth]

That link to crashes, the biggest issue i've seen is people using PCIe daisy chained instead of separate cables

[celest wave]

I wonder if I did do step up if I could send it to the Miami branch instead of the Cali branch

[stone raft]

That link to crashes, the biggest issue i've seen is people using PCIe daisy chained instead of separate cables
@maiden plinth ya, that chain seems cheap and stupid

[iron wind]

1070 ti duke used or 1660 super new ..budget build cpu ryzen 2600

[hollow zephyr]

@iron wind neither

[languid knot]

Didn’t get one yet

Nvidia hasn’t reposted

[rancid sable]

Newegg is trash, ever since China bought it it has been downhill

[stone raft]

China owns newegg?!

[west kayak]

Hangzhou New Century Information Technology Co., Ltd.

apparently that company

[rapid herald]

@vale forge I went to the westmont Micro center roday...they had no 3080s in stock...so i was looking around and a fedex truck pulled up and brought in 8 3090s!!!! So i walked out sad because I cant afford a $1500+ gpu lol

[west kayak]

damn

thats tuff

[rich oasis]

Gaming

[west kayak]

resell it for 2100

[rich oasis]

why would you go if they had none?

[west kayak]

wait nvm

i mean 1700

im willing to bet ppl are willing to pay some extra money for a 3090

[rapid herald]

@rich oasis Because I was gonna get a replacement card (2060) and it has a 30 day full refund on it. So i would use the 2060 for a month, and hopefully by then i would get a 3080 and then just return the 2060...if that makes sense

micro center gets trucks at random times with cards

[frigid anvil]

Now I just need one more Trinity ,3090 and I'm done with buying RTX 3000.

[gilded hawk]

Was zotac in stock today?

@frigid anvil

[frigid anvil]

Maybe 😏

[gilded hawk]

Oof i missed out

[shy garden]

All the 3080 sold out in 2 secs on launch day

[frigid anvil]

@torpid garden Got some too.

[torpid garden]

Salty I didn't get more

[tardy star]

This doesnt seem ok

https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?N=100007709 601357247 1065685472

[faint kindle]

yeah, no content found

[tardy star]

3080 listed for $1560 on newegg by a reseller

[sinful bobcat]

OH that is for sure getting removed!

BANNED!

[tardy star]

awesome

[ancient crystal]

I'm gonna keep posting these things when i see them on newegg

the satisfaction of getting rid of a scalper is wonderful

[sinful bobcat]

Please do. Like... no joke. I hate when sellers OR any other scalper on any other site dose this.

[ancient crystal]

👍

god that looks hideous in full size

words cannot express

[rapid herald]

@frigid anvil wait where did you get the zotac at?

[restive grove]

Zoltec's 3080 are the ugliest ever made to date

I may just preorder on the EU market at this rate

Wait no Gigabyte cards are uglier still

[rapid herald]

did you just sell out on newegg super fast just now?

says there in stock but i cant buy them

[exotic bolt]

Trying to sell my 2080 now and the only inquiries I'm getting are how I was able to purchase a 3080

[rapid herald]

how much u selling the 2080?

[exotic bolt]

400 for the Gigabyte Aorus RTX 2080

[rapid herald]

really? and no one is biting on that?

[exotic bolt]

Not yet

[rapid herald]

dang. thats a good price

[exotic bolt]

I figured it was a fair asking price. I'm suspecting that the 3060 might come in around 2080 levels and mine is probably still going to outperform a 3060 given that it's a premium aib model

[rapid herald]

yeah true

[exotic bolt]

offsets a little more than half the cost of the one I just bought so if I can get it for $400 I'll be happy

[rapid herald]

yeah man. Newegg is garbage. I have it set to when it refreshed that only the cards in stock will show up. It keeps showing a Zotac and GIG. Model and there not in stock. and they havent been in like a day or two

[exotic bolt]

Honestly I don't know if I would go with gigabyte again I thought the one I had was very pretty but the fans made a really annoying noise. there was nothing mechanically wrong with them I think it was just a design flaw that when the lights would switch on the card it made an odd clicking noise

[hallow sun]

Ign deals on twitter, turn the notifications on

I bought my 3080 from evga on amazon there

[rapid herald]

they let you know when cards are in stock? IGN?

[hallow sun]

they sent tweets when they are in stock

[rapid herald]

oh ok. thx

[hallow sun]

@rapid herald yes!

[rapid herald]

huh. ok thx

but newegg is still hot trash

[high nimbus]

I got a 3090 off of newegg so I don't think they are that bad

newegg/nvidia/evga is where I'd put my money to get a card

[rapid herald]

at this point im going to go with evga and Nvidia

[magic prism]

Im going to go with whatever I can get 😖

[somber bloom]

I was able to snag a preorder on the Asus tuf from b&h, but the cards aren't coming in before the end of october

[languid knot]

I’m praying it get lucky with Nvidia soon, but we will see

[naive kelp]

whoah..did you guys see the video jayztwocents released?

[languid knot]

Watching it now

Wait so I’m right for wanting the FE

[strange river]

Probably gonna put a backorder in at MemEx for the Gaming X Trio at the beginning of October, this situation is beyond stupid

[somber bloom]

YES....i knew it was a good idea to go with the TUF this time.....thank you asus, u my boy

[strange river]

Literally everything else for my new rig is in stock, but not the 3080, nope, no way

[languid knot]

I wanted to be patient and get the FE for the look but now there’s actually a good reason to get it lol

[magic prism]

What did jayz say?

[strange river]

tl;dr me on the FE? I'm building in RCT2 and don'tr have time for a video

[magic prism]

Lol

[somber bloom]

most AIBs went with lower budget capacitors and its making the chip extremely sensitive to electrical noise

[strange river]

hey man, RCT2 still has a huge community lol

yike

which partner cards don't use lower-quality caps?

You'd think that for 1100 monopoly doallrs, the gaming x trio wouldn't, but you never know with MSI

[languid knot]

They’ll just pay to get the review taken fown

Down

[somber bloom]

evga, zotac, msi, gigabyte, and colorful all used the cheaper caps

[lone pond]

How much big of a performance hit would lowering the clock on a 3080 by ~50mhz make?

[strange river]

ugh, forced to pay the asus tax if I want to avoid this problem since FEs will never be in stock on the canadian nvidia store

[lone pond]

Hoping this isnt going to be a big problem with my gaming x trio

[somber bloom]

2-5ish%

[lone pond]

Damnit

[somber bloom]

at 1440p or lower, you won't notice unless its a really poorly optimized game

[strange river]

it's a damn shame, the X570 Tomahawk is an incredible board, an equivalent ASUS board (for aura sync) is like $70 more lol

[lone pond]

Well I'll be playing 1080 lol

[round mason]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6bUUEEe-X8&ab_channel=JayzTwoCents

[somber bloom]

@lone pond you should be fine. but keep an eye on it with afterburner/precision

[lone pond]

Mmm

[round mason]

@frigid anvil supposedly the zotac 3080's are being underclocked due to a weak power delivery system

and a few other brands as well

[frigid anvil]

I already know.

[languid knot]

So isn’t it if you overclock or just in general?

[somber bloom]

its based on boostclock. if the power delivery is good quality and cooling is solid the stock settings will get u over 2 ghz

[languid knot]

Oh wow

[round mason]

:C

[somber bloom]

i ran into similar issues when i used to do overclock benchmarks. This seems to be a very similar issue

[lone pond]

I mean the gaming x trio has 1 of those expensive capacitors at least it's not 0 like zotac

Wonder if that matter

[somber bloom]

ya, MSI has 2 like the FE. I'm just stoked that the TUFs have all 6

[lone pond]

Has 2 in the 3090 not 3080

[somber bloom]

oh damn, was that the 90 msi he opened up?

[lone pond]

Ye

Don't know why lol kinda confusing

[languid knot]

People should stop getting them for a while 😉 😉

[lone pond]

I mean all the cards only overclock to about 3/4% extra performance so lowering it by 50mhz from 200 should barely make a diff

[frigid anvil]

Now it was just my luck that this morning at 3AM I ordered 2 Zotac cards.

If I had known what I know now I would have waited for Asus.

[warped citrus]

Enjoy your cheaper capacitors

[frigid anvil]

The Asus TUF card uses 6 of the good capacitor stacks and not the cheap POSCAPS.

The 3080 cards I wasn't planning on really overclocking just using for gaming so it's fine for that nature and if they do give me issues I will just RMA them as Zotac is working to fix this issue.

Now the 3090 I was planning on getting 2 of.

I still might but I don't know if Zotac also used the cheap POSCAPS on the 3090 or not yet.

[somber bloom]

i would hope they don't skimp. 3090s start at $1500, i saw the rog strix was $1849

man, nvidia better get a grip on this, if AMD comes out on par with 3080 for $100 less and with more inventory available.....could spell trouble for them

[languid knot]

I think that is very possible

[lone pond]

Meh, doubt

[languid knot]

They will more than likely beat the 3070 ]

They did once the 5700xt had good drivers

[somber bloom]

if AMD has an answer to DLSS and their RX is on point.....who knows. I personally would love to see red stick it to green, if anything make nvidia do better

[languid knot]

I want/think amd will beat nvidia out for gaming at the 400-600 price

[somber bloom]

maybe, i've been seeing a lot of tech tubers saying they are aiming for 10% over 2080ti, at the same power consumption and $500.

nvidia is just leaps and bounds ahead in software. RX second gen, DLSS2.0/2.1, drivers generally on point....AMD still playing catchup

[languid knot]

yep

but the 3070 wont be THAT good at those features like the 3080 is so AMD could beat it

[somber bloom]

i'll bet a 10-15% difference between the 3070 to the 3080, maybe 20-25 on cherry picked games

[languid knot]

no way the 3070 will be 10-20% better than the 2080ti....

[somber bloom]

all the nvidia docs say about the same on rasterization and significant improvement in RX

i know nvidia stretches the truth, but they have to be kinda close

[languid knot]

Im saying raw performance

they even said it wont be better than the 2080ti

maybe marginally

[somber bloom]

ur probably right, raw horse power they probably neck n neck, with the 2080ti winning on bandwidth and memory total

[languid knot]

Yeah. dont get me wrong the 3070 will be a good deal, just not that impressive

I think the 3080 was the biggest jump as far as price to performance

[somber bloom]

i'm coming off a 2080ti, so we will see. I have high hopes, but can't get too excited

[languid knot]

Im coming off a Macbook pro and Xbox one X

[somber bloom]

ya...u gonna be super happy. you get a nice monitor?

[languid knot]

1440p 32 inch dell

thats why im going 3080

[somber bloom]

high hrtz?

[languid knot]

165

[somber bloom]

NICE

i have 2 27in LGs 1440p, 165(OCd), 1ms, IPS. Love them to death

[languid knot]

Yeah I love my monitor but I havent ever used it with over 100 fps its kinda sad

[somber bloom]

you'll get there, this will all be over around the holiday season. Scalpers will move on to the xbox and ps5, leave us poor folks alone

[languid knot]

Im saying by mid october itll be much better

AMD leaks and info, the 3070 will be out, supply will have picked up a bit

[somber bloom]

hopefully

[languid knot]

Ive even had a friend who works at best buy tell me thy have been told by late october supply will be up a very significant amount

[somber bloom]

awesome, my contact at asus says they are trying to pump out all cards as fast as possible so....again, hopefully all over in the 30ish days

[languid knot]

I really hate when people blame the companies. Sure they could do better but the demand is so high that its hard

[stone raft]

Lmfao

[languid knot]

whoops

[naive kelp]

whaaaaaat

[round mason]

the problem with the 3080 isnt just overlocks

but when its boosting

[somber bloom]

as i am new here, is there any rule saying i can't link an article here?

@somber bloom if it is relevant to this channel, no. BUT you wont be able to, because you are not lvl 3 yet (so bot will prevent it)

Guys any news when newegg gets 3090 stock?

[spice prawn]

@dull anvil we are not the ones that know this

[dull anvil]

So whats this forum is for ?

[royal copper]

tech help, conversation, etc.

really no one can tell you about stock, often not even official customer support knows about stock. just have to wait

[dull anvil]

bummer

Worse year ever, so much money wasted and nothing to get

[stone raft]

We come here to congregate and complain to each other

[round mason]

YES SIR

ik it sucks not to get a card (same boat btw) but its okay to not spend money sometimes

@round mason thanks for this video...might change my mind to msi and fe now

[round mason]

what were you thinking about before

asus is also a good one

[stone raft]

Evga or fe...was actually going to do the step up program

[lone pond]

Is the 1 expensive capacitor enough on the msi gaming x trio? Seen people also having problems with those

[worthy prawn]

Just if u don't oc and maybe under I believe

[lone pond]

Well that's the same as with all the others with only cheaper capacitors

[round mason]

so

the capacitors werent the only factor

generally

in a good environment the capacitors were being found to be the main cause

[proper dragon]

What is a good pair for the 2060

[round mason]

for the msi they have the quality capacitor so maybe other factors are involved with the crashing

[terse bloom]

What's weird is, when you look at all the screenshots on newegg, all the ones that show the capacitors, only shows the small black rectangle capacitors. The "cheap" PLCs.

[lone pond]

I just don't know if I should cancel my order and wait for a tuf to become available

[terse bloom]

On the MSI Gaming X Trios? The video showed it had 2 of the expensive capacitor groupings.

[lone pond]

That's a 3090

Jay mislead so many people with that lol

[terse bloom]

oh

[lone pond]

3080 has 1

[terse bloom]

oh ok yeah, watched it again, he did say 3090

[stone raft]

https://forums.evga.com/m/tm.aspx?m=3095238&p=1

That is the reply from EVGA

I might be back on with evga

That is better, if you too lazy to go to site

[languid knot]

They didn’t mess anything up

The PPMs were rushed

They fixed it before launch

[mighty island]

@sinful crater @cerulean rover if yall are curious i ran the gpu overclocked at 85C for long gaming session and propylene piece is holding up perfectly

gpu doesn't get hot enough to soften propylene

[round mason]

Then thats good

Again yea take the video with a grain of salt

The main cause of issue with 3080 is still undetermined

[faint kindle]

3090 gigabyte in stock

2 seconds

Literally, pressed checkout and sold out

[terse bloom]

Same with the EVGA 3080

Made it to payment, entered my CVC, and then sold out when I clicked review order

Kept trying, and now it's telling me I'm a bot

[exotic bolt]

EVGA said they have a rule about refreshing only once every 5 sec or they will flag you as a bot

[terse bloom]

EVGA site or newegg site?

[exotic bolt]

EVGA site

[terse bloom]

Well, I was on the newegg site.

[small iron]

EVGA said they have a rule about refreshing only once every 5 sec or they will flag you as a bot
@exotic bolt What's the source on that? I would like to confirm so that I can make sure i'm not refreshing too fast. Thanks

[exotic bolt]

Someone linked it here in a tweet a day or two ago they said it was a measure to counter act bots consatntly pinging the server though it doesnt seemed to have helped much

[digital dragon]

I got the link for the FTW3 Ultra from now in stock. Clicked add to cart. Did so. Went to cart, clicked checkout, encountered an error, refreshed twice then got blocked for being a bot. Now I get to email there customer service to unblock my ass for refreshing the site 3 times. 10/10

WIsh I knew that before

[small iron]

@exotic bolt Thanks!

[spice prawn]

@small iron you wont get the exact numbers

because that is part of anti-bot measures and anti-spam measures

and built into how they manage server load

[small iron]

@spice prawn That's a fair point.

[worthy prawn]

Did anyone else get banned for refreshing

Oh

[spice prawn]

proof? its how ive setup numerous servers for stuff like that over the years

[dreamy dragon]

habibi#4872 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[spice prawn]

and you do NOT want those numbers out there

[worthy prawn]

I'm so pissed rn they banned me last page before I got it

[terse bloom]

To be honest, I didn't even refresh

[spice prawn]

no one said the system was perfect @terse bloom :)

[terse bloom]

I hit Back, and then click add to cart, when newegg accused me of being a bot

[spice prawn]

all i can say, its part of the "system"

[digital dragon]

I would not have cared so much If the cause of the refresh was not an error from newegg itself

[spice prawn]

they are doing what they can.

do you honestly think any vendor enjoys having their servers under load like that?

so, kick back, relax and wait.

[digital dragon]

Considering amazon servers don't crash on black Friday or prime day It's not impossible to want that. But I see your point

[worthy prawn]

They don't put in secured timed checkouts or queues but have this garbage

I'm exaggerating a bit because I'm insanely pissed off, I could practically feel the CUDA cores and then IP ban

[spice prawn]

there is just about a silly amount of orders of magnitude difference between the software budgets being used to solve that @digital dragon :)

[exotic bolt]

All I can say it when I tried to buy a FTW3 on the 23rd I stuck to the 5 sec refresh rule and did not get blocked as a bot

[terse bloom]

It is what it is. After the 3080 launch, Newegg sent out a 5 post twitter tweet talking about their increased anti-bot measures

[languid knot]

Y’all are so upset over a computer part.... I want it to but there nothing any of us can do so why be mad about it?

There’s bigger things to worry about and everyone is trying to fix it

[small iron]

@languid knot You're being a bit overzealous.

[terse bloom]

Right now, I need to email newegg with my ip address and error code 3 so they'll let me in again.

[small iron]

Right now, I need to email newegg with my ip address and error code 3 so they'll let me in again.
@terse bloom That's a pain. But at least you'll know for next time.

[languid knot]

What do you mean? By being realistic?

I’m not trying to be rude and if I am I apologize.

[worthy prawn]

Obviously if we're worrying about GPU launches we are in a good place and don't have to worry about much

[languid knot]

That’s what I’m meaning just not getting mad over it

[small iron]

I appreciate Newegg putting measures in place. Just have to be more careful.

[digital dragon]

We are not really upset over not getting one. Myself personally its more... Hey you know that thing you wanted well here it is to buy, go to the store, want to give them money. Follow all the directions, get error, do what any human would, refresh, then get a page saying hey sorry you can't have that thing because you refreshed contact us so we can decide you are allowed to give us money

[languid knot]

Yeah I can understand that. Happened to me with Nvidia. I couldn’t check out cause recptcha crashed

[spice prawn]

@digital dragon and i think everyone here gets/understands that you (and others) are just venting :)

but some of the people that come in here, really dont have any clue about how commerce systems, websites etc work, hence why i say what i do :)

[rapid herald]

did a bunch of cards drop on newegg today?

@languid knot dont get mad at me please

[terse bloom]

Don't know how many, but did.

[digital dragon]

Y’all are so upset over a computer part.... I want it to but there nothing any of us can do so why be mad about it?
@languid knot I was mostly replying to this. I get that but cmon

[languid knot]

Yeah that’s my fault. I was upset over it at first but I don’t really have any options now so that’s how I feel. Shouldn’t have said it

[digital dragon]

Not trying to throw you under the bus. I get that point of view. Sorry some of my frustration got directed to you

[languid knot]

It’s all good. It’s the bots that are the issue at the end of the day lol. Taking away the cards from the people who actually want them. It sucks that they were so bad this time around

[spice prawn]

only difference is that you (the consumers) have been told about it this time around :)

i know that is not any comfort

but that is reality of it

[digital dragon]

It will only get worse as it was proven that bots can and will get through and in the end most (not all) of company's wont care as they still get paid. It happens a lot for movie and concert tickets and shoe sales. It got so bad in japan you have to have an Id linked with the ticket when you buy it and have that Id to get in. If they don't match you don't get in

[languid knot]

Just sucks cause I check nvidias site all the time, and I’ve still missed out on 2 restocks because I can’t get in fast enough.... which then makes more people want to get a bot

Never ending cycle

[digital dragon]

I know of 2 people who got a bot and just bought one. The orders were not cancelled and have shipped

On the FE launch. Not today

[spice prawn]

the following is NOT a comfort to any of you. But please think about the following: IF everyone didnt hype themselves up, there would not be a market for the bots to serve.

[terse bloom]

I'm more or less just upset cause I can't access the newegg site right now. That's all.

Just keep getting this message.

[digital dragon]

True, Very true. But then again every company has entire teams some with millions to hundreds of millions whose whole job is to build hype

[languid knot]

And the hype for the 3080 was somewhat warranted

[spice prawn]

very true @digital dragon

[digital dragon]

Some what yeah, I think a large part of it is people during/after quarantine needed something to look for some joy/ excitement just to get slapped int he face

[spice prawn]

eh, i personally dont think the hype was worth it

yes, the performance is somewhat there, but its one heck of a tradeoff

[languid knot]

That’s kinda where I’m at.... it’s my first pc in 5+ years so I’m excited about the opportunity to get a good card

What’s such the big trade off?

[spice prawn]

the chip itself is pushed way past its optimal spot on the voltage curve

meaning, its pulling a good 50+ watts for the last 5-ish% of performance

that is imo not something that makes me all fuzzy inside

[languid knot]

Ah. I can understand that. I’m of the thought that there’s always a drawback for more performance but that’s pretty wild

Yeah looks like no restocks until next week

[spice prawn]

@languid knot if you are interested https://www.computerbase.de/2020-09/geforce-rtx-3080-test/6/

yes, its german, but google translate works just fine

[languid knot]

Glad the year of German I took in college is coming in handy 😂

[digital dragon]

That is a fair point Naed. I think this card is good in the fact that it's not the last generation on this chip as they will probably run a SUPER line. But after that in the years people that have this card will have till their next upgrade Nvidia and AMD will be forced to fight it out as the Nvidia chip is almost maxed out. They (Nvidia) will have to innovate or lose market share

[spice prawn]

and i am fully onboard with some people not caring about that @digital dragon :) but for me? i can easily wait (disclaimer: i have no interest in these cards, i have enough GPU muscle for what i do)

[languid knot]

So it looks like performance per watt is still better than the 2080ti, but only slightly when running at 320w? That makes sense to me. A super powerful card isn’t quite as efficient as it should be

[restive grove]

this is depressing

[spice prawn]

that is the numbers i was talking about earlier

[languid knot]

If it wasn’t for my fear of used cards, does a 2080 super run 1440p ultra at 100+ FPS?

From what I’ve seen it doesn’t

[restive grove]

my flight stick is broken

[digital dragon]

Duct tape is your friend @restive grove

@languid knot Depends. Are you playing PONG or Red Dead 2

[restive grove]

no its not and because of covid and flight simulator joysticks go for as much a 600 bucks

[languid knot]

Red dead 2, COD, Battlefield, things like that

[restive grove]

well setups do anyway

[stone raft]

I really want this card before cyberpunk

[digital dragon]

^

Thats kinda my whole reason for getting it/ Star Citizen.... I know I know but I can hope

[restive grove]

I wanted this card before Star Wars Squadrons

[stone raft]

I am trying to figure out of I'm getting that on ps5 or pc

[digital dragon]

Cyber or Star?

Lol

[restive grove]

but after the blue screen game crash reports I'm glad i didn't

So now I am limited to Founders, Asus Tuf, and Pny 3080's

[languid knot]

No don’t do pny

[digital dragon]

Well, some people have reported the cheap capacitors on the 3080. Apparently some cards are not stable at base clock

[languid knot]

Yes some are not. But the pny actually has poorer cooling than the others

[restive grove]

lol but it's under 300mm and hasn't been reported as a fryer...

ahh so a weak cooling solution

[languid knot]

Yes. If you want one I won’t stop you, but I have heard negative things about it

[restive grove]

I'll look up a few reviews but the tuf is my 1st choice, sad fact is I gotta buy what's available.

systems running on my old Strix 1060, it was ok until my T16000 broke 😦

[languid knot]

Yeah. I have some time to wait for the FE.... but if it starts getting near November then I might need to get another one

[restive grove]

I ordered a cheap used Saitek as a replacement stick.

[sharp bear]

When do you guys think the strix 3080 will release

[exotic bolt]

I am asking 400 and people are saying thats too much with the 3070 right around the corner

I just tell them good luck getting one

[sharp bear]

I just wanna get the strix 3080 already asus posted something relating to it why can't they just drop it already so they can take my money

Why is it so hard to give a company my money

[terse bloom]

I believe JJ said in a live stream post, that the Strix will be available on "The Week of the 28th"

[trim crown]

@exotic bolt 2080ti?

[sharp bear]

@terse bloom I'm hoping it does

[exotic bolt]

No regular 2080

[sharp bear]

And that I can get it

If not I guess I'll have nothing to do because my other pc died and I built a new one for the 3080

[terse bloom]

I'll probably give it another month. Only cause I need to get my second pc up and running again by November. After that, ill just give up, buy a 2080Super, and put my 1080 back in my old pc.

[sharp bear]

I'm hoping I can get lucky enough I already got close to getting a FE card and others before I'm hoping the strix I get a magical chance and I order it

[restive grove]

i think the 3070 will get scalped just like everything else

[lean flicker]

My scalp

[balmy pumice]

is the msi 3080 ventus really that bad, cuz im getting mixed reviews

both are on polar opposite ends

[sharp bear]

I've heard alot of the aibs kinda aren't that good except for asus or evga

The only cards I heard that had positive reviews were the FE TUF and the evga cards

[restive grove]

let me looking into that

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6bUUEEe-X8

[split prism]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[restive grove]

let the cap wars begin

[wicked hound]

Ventus worse then FE

[restive grove]

for overclocking that would be a big yes, and it's the source of all the user ctd's

looks like Asus actually improved on the Founders Edition rather than cheap out...

[trim crown]

Im still waiting for big navi

The ball is in their court to really show off something crazy

The anticipation is killing me...

[restive grove]

Navi will crash on the rocks of AMD driver support

[trim crown]

Just like nvidia is crashing their new cards?

[restive grove]

no the founders didn't crash, the partner cards did

founders and asus tuf exceed to rtx standards

[trim crown]

Seems like their are driver issues on both sides of the field right now from what ive been hearing?

[restive grove]

they cheaped out the base design so are affected by electrical noise

studio and beta drivers are always a no no

[trim crown]

Welp, really nvidia isnt always perfect and AMD does have work to do to fix their maintenance but heres me hoping they really pull one out of their butts to improve...

[lone pond]

my 580 rarely has to do any work because i play low intensity on the pc games but when it actually uses the fans it sound like something is scraping and i only got it in june

[languid knot]

They will this next week

[restive grove]

wanted to try a 580 or 590 but......

[languid knot]

Ive just heard too many negative things from people I know about AMD GPUs so I wont get one personally

[restive grove]

its not really AMD gpu's that are the issue, it was their legendary poor driver support

[celest wave]

Both sides have had bad drivers

Amd just happens to push out more of them

[spice prawn]

nah, just in recent times

[lone pond]

i have had no issues with the drivers myself

the one time used nvidia the drivers messed up extremely bad and i couldent use my pc for around a mont

[restive grove]

recent drivers, I meant historically over past eight to twelve years

Amd has better cpu support than gpu until recently

[languid knot]

I think its just based off of personal experience. Some have it bad and others dont

[spice prawn]

ive said it before and i will say it again

there are no good or bad drivers (in the grand scheme of things)

there are just drivers

and then there are the so called experts that use the machines that use drivers

[restive grove]

ugh toodler wants top watch Super Shiro, afk a bit

[spice prawn]

and in 99% of the cases, the "fault" is not the drivers

its the expert

[restive grove]

officially ignoring the rep expert

bye now

[languid knot]

I would buy the 5700xt over the 2070 super except no RTX voice or ray tracing

I want ray tracing cause I play minecraft when Im bored and itll be nice to have it

Can anyone offer an opinion on what card I should get?

do you have a price point you are looking at?

[spice prawn]

@tardy star its the same listing you got mike to look at?

[tardy star]

Yeah, they removed it for a day, then relisted it looks like, but its "marked down" now

same reseller

[spice prawn]

you informed him yet?

[tardy star]

nope, wasnt sure if it was ok to ping him or not

[spice prawn]

@sinful bobcat @tardy star has a present for you

[tardy star]

your 3080 buddies are back, with a "discounted" listing now

https://www.newegg.com/evga-geforce-rtx-3080-10g-p5-3885-kr/p/N82E16814487520
another 3080 for almost $1200 by the same dudes that listed one for over $1500 last time...
[11:40 AM]
actually it's the same listing again just "marked down" 25%

damn those guys customer reviews are bad... like selling a 2080ti only for someone to get a 2070 in a 2080ti cooler

[cobalt epoch]

I'm not really sure what they cost $175?

[spice prawn]

@cobalt epoch can you snap a picture of the back of your case and send it to me in a PM?

that answers that "size" card can actually fit

[cobalt epoch]

outside of the case

[spice prawn]

yes

[frigid grail]

guys i ended up buying a 1660 super for a temporary card untill i can find a 3080 in stock

will that be a good temporary card?

[rich oasis]

FINE

[sinful bobcat]

Yo... I don't even care if it's the weekend. I logged into my system to report this.
I hate that

Thanks @tardy star & @spice prawn

[tardy star]

look at their company reviews... its kind of crazy

[spice prawn]

Thank you for going above and beyond @sinful bobcat :)

@cobalt epoch thank you, you can fit a normal sized card in there. That makes things MUCH simpler for you :)

[cobalt epoch]

So if I'm able to do it with what I currently have what do you think would be a good boost so I don't have the lag in the editing when I scrub through the video?

[spice prawn]

@cobalt epoch https://pcpartpicker.com/product/QVrmP6/zotac-geforce-gtx-1650-4-gb-gaming-oc-video-card-zt-t16500f-10l

that linked card will work

the one that is 160 usd

[cobalt epoch]

OK thanks... any idea why the difference in price?

[spice prawn]

on the link?

on amazon its just a 3rd party seller. They are just marking it up because they can @cobalt epoch

[cobalt epoch]

got it thanks

[queen echo]

Hello Folks, hope you are well. I want to confirm something, does the Asus Rog Strix 3090 listed on your page the OC one or the base one? Name says OG but pictures shows base one (https://www.newegg.com/asus-geforce-rtx-3090-rog-strix-rtx3090-o24g-gaming/p/N82E16814126456?Description=3090 asus&cm_re=3090_asus-_-14-126-456-_-Product)

[spice prawn]

https://www.asus.com/Graphics-Cards/ROG-STRIX-RTX3090-O24G-GAMING/

that appears to be the one that corresponds to the model number they have listed

does that answer it for you @queen echo ?

[queen echo]

Great so its the OC model (RTX3090-O24G-GAMING); anyway we can make sure 100%? Just dont want to put 1800 dollars in the table and then it was the base model

[spice prawn]

in the opening hours, try and reach out to @cursive urchin

that is your best bet @queen echo

[queen echo]

Thanks a lot that works

[spice prawn]

you are very welcome :)

[ancient crystal]

wish i could afford a 3090

lmao my power supply could handle it

but like

my R7 2700 would probably bottleneck the heck out of it

[proper dragon]

What is a good cpu pair for a 2060 ko

[naive kelp]

When is the asus strix releasing on Newegg ?

[uncut silo]

when is amd gunna drop their card?

[restive grove]

I love Gpu Tweak II myself

I run it on just about every 1060 in the house, also I just left Best Buy in depression

all they got is GTX 1660TI and 5700 XT cards

[exotic bolt]

Fed Ex just pushed my delivery date from tomorrow to the 30th😭

[restive grove]

at least it will be delivered

[languid knot]

Ordering all my pc parts tomorrow but still waiting for a 3080

[stone raft]

Consume your time with wire management

[languid knot]

Is it a bad idea to build my pc then put the gpu in when I get it?

[spice prawn]

@languid knot consider the following: Depending on how long you have to wait, you might get in trouble with returns

[high nimbus]

@languid knot I wouldn’t do that

[languid knot]

Wym with returns? Incase something doesn’t work out of the box?

[spice prawn]

aye

[languid knot]

I figured. That’s why I asked I wasn’t sure if I should or not

[spice prawn]

there is a very good reason we suggest that people save up and buy at the same time

i know it is annoying

but that recommendation is truly done to protect you (the builder) from your own eagerness

[languid knot]

Fair point. Just worried about things not in stock and such

[spice prawn]

aye aye

@high nimbus also, congrats again on the work you did with your build yesterday :)

[high nimbus]

Thnks bud was for sure not easy

[dreamy dragon]

Caleb#9822 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[spice prawn]

:)

[high nimbus]

I gotta show you some janky stuff that I did

[spice prawn]

:)

remember back when you came here originally and i asked if you were willing to dedicate time to it?

try and figure out how many hours of research and building you have done so far?

[high nimbus]

Ya it’s been fun

[spice prawn]

that is the part that people forget when they say: its cheap to build a machine yourself :)

[dreamy dragon]

emokun#7411 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[languid knot]

I’ve done days of research and I still don’t have one 😭

[restive grove]

is that bot malfunctioning?

[stone raft]

If my mobo can't take the video card I will kick all the dogs

[spice prawn]

if you have not, take a look in #build-pics @languid knot

his build is a bit of a special one :)

[languid knot]

Yeah I saw his pc. It’s very nice

[restive grove]

my case is tinted and unilluminated, cable management has been pawned off to Batman because you can't see a thing anyway

[languid knot]

I like that build a lot @high nimbus

also let me know how the evga 3080 is because I am thinking more and more about doing step up...

[high nimbus]

Sure thing

[tardy star]

@languid knot This is the boat I'm in a built out a whole new machine, i7 10700k, asus z490-f mobo, high end 3600 speed GSkill RAM, 970 pro evo NvME drive, and now I wait for that 3080... machines been built for over a week and its killing me I cant use it

[spice prawn]

@tardy star what you talking about? you have the iGPU

[tardy star]

yeah but im not going to game on it

[languid knot]

Yeah it sucks. I have a Mac for school but my internship is requiring more things that I need windows for so not having a windows machine is kinda setting me back

Mines a work issue I have my Xbox for gaming

[spice prawn]

no, but at least you can get everything setup and tested @tardy star :)

[languid knot]

Yeah the 3700x can’t do that sadly

[tardy star]

well yes.. I did get everything installed and setup true, but I think that makes it even worse lol

[stone raft]

Put that windows 10 on it

[spice prawn]

@tardy star well, wait time is wait time, at least you know the system works :)

[tardy star]

true, I'm hoping to try and get one the Asus Strix cards when they release, rumor I head was Monday

[spice prawn]

dont get your hopes up and be pleasantly surprised when you do find one :)

[languid knot]

There will probably be a lot of resupplies this week. They will probably try to get as many as they can out before RDNA 2 cause I think they are a bit worried

[languid knot]

But I agree with naed... don’t be hopeful, but be vigilant

[tardy star]

Yeah, just gotta have some patience

[languid knot]

Yes. I think we will get one here soon

[exotic bolt]

This issue with the caps makes me wonder if I should go over to the dark side and just sell my 3080 right now and wait until the hardware issue is resolved

[languid knot]

Which one?

[brisk flame]

the "issue with the caps" isnt a confirmed issue, and even if it was, its not that big of a deal

if gpu crash, do a little tweaking, or just rma

if not who cares

[restive grove]

My theme card is the Asus Tuf, everything else is either a Nvidia, Pny, or Evga case filler..

[spice prawn]

@brisk flame well, whats the most expensive part in your current system?

[brisk flame]

my cpu was 604

[restive grove]

ewww...

[spice prawn]

imagine if a software update was rolled out that handicapped that "just because" Sassy

[exotic bolt]

Honestly, I always hated the TUF branded items. They always looked so cheesy to me. The GPU this generation isn't too bad cuz it goes for a minimalist design but camo colored ram was where I drew the line.

[brisk flame]

yeah, they have been

[restive grove]

I meant the stick spider avatar not the price

[languid knot]

The x570 TUF isn’t bad

[brisk flame]

over the past few years to combat spectre, zombieload and meltdown

it is what it is

[spice prawn]

yes, that is over "years"

[languid knot]

MB are hard to mess up tho

[brisk flame]

ik its even worse than 50mhz

[restive grove]

Ahh Team Group Tuf Series ddr4, I almost bought it lol

[brisk flame]

but i aint making a big deal over it

[restive grove]

brb

[spice prawn]

@brisk flame point being. all of your adjustments did not happen day one :)

[brisk flame]

at least these cards have a 3 year warrenty

[spice prawn]

and technically you can run the hardware without it in your case

[brisk flame]

my point is, if your card is crashing you can return it

if its not then its fine

[spice prawn]

aye aye, on that side we agree 100 :)

its just a particular "sour" return to have to make

[brisk flame]

tru

same reason i didnt return my case, it just wasnt worth it

[spice prawn]

because it is entirely outside of your decision zone

[brisk flame]

actually, the foot still works, and i bent the case back, so its like totally fine now lol

[languid knot]

What case is it?

[spice prawn]

aye aye, i know about your case Sassy :)

and the dent was on the bottom right?

[brisk flame]

some chinese one from segotep

yeah

they mustve dropped it hard

bent the case in right where the foot is

[golden notch]

RMA? Sell a broken 3080 on ebay for profit! Someone will buy it

[languid knot]

Ofc they will

[brisk flame]

broken 3080 like new - 900$

[languid knot]

Most people don’t know or care

They could mark it up 50-100 and people would lose their minds just to be disappointed in a few weeks

[brisk flame]

tbh i might pick up a used 3080 FE off ebay sometime next year

someones gotta be selling one by then

[languid knot]

I’m sure they will

Probably someone who likes RDNA more once those come out

[brisk flame]

its not like i need one, I would just like to upgrade from my 1080, but its good enough for now

[languid knot]

I have nothing and I COULD go with a 2080 super but I don’t trust buying used...

[brisk flame]

used is fine

actually, if your buying a used, working card from a good seller, theres a higher probability that the card you get will be functional than if you bought brand new

[languid knot]

Ik I just have a feeling too I should wait for the new card

I have someone who might sell me an EVGA 2080ti for a decent price tho

[night zealot]

Guys slow down b4 u buy 3080 scalpers got the lesson hard

[hallow palm]

will a 3070 handle 1080 144 fps gaming

i have enough to go for a 3080 but saving is nice

[languid knot]

Yes

Get a 3070 for 1080

[hallow palm]

like right now i play valorant but games like warzone

on high settings

[languid knot]

Get 3070

[hallow palm]

yep alr

gotta wait for black friday anyway

[languid knot]

At 1080 the 3080 can “lose” some FPS just due to 1080 being more cpu intensive

[hallow palm]

i see

imma go for zen 3 hopefully it doesnt run out of stock lmfao

[languid knot]

I don’t think it will? Do cpus sell out often?

[hallow palm]

not sure either

i figured a lot of people are upgrading though

[languid knot]

Eh who knows. Cpus don’t change a whole lot it seems

[hallow palm]

yeah

[languid knot]

I think they will be less hyped than the 30 series so you should be able to get one

Reselling cpus seems a bit silly lmao

[hallow palm]

yeah still no one talking about zen 3 all that much

it does sound a bit funny lol

gotta watch big navi too

[languid knot]

Because cpus don’t change performance as much as gpus do IMO

[hallow palm]

yeah true

[languid knot]

Plus it’s almost impossible to have zen 3 perform 2x better than zen 2

From what I’ve read they’ve just streamlined the processors so they will be faster and more efficient

[hallow palm]

yeah its exciting

gotta wait and see

[languid knot]

I think RNDA 2 will be fantastic

Which is why Nvidia is rushing a bit

[hallow palm]

yes same

also why nvda made 3080 so good

3000 series in general

[languid knot]

The 3080 is the best by far but the whole 30 series is good

But it is clear they rushed the September launch. They seem stressed and they didn’t have as much stock as they wanted

[hallow palm]

yeah

not sure how amd'll fare

they have tsmc

but

who knows really

[languid knot]

It’ll probably be near even in the end

If I were to guess

[swift cliff]

I still don’t really understand if the differences between 80 and 90 are substantial enough to justify the price difference

[languid knot]

It’s not about gaming. It’s workflow oriented but Nvidia wants to make it about gaming

[swift cliff]

I’m hoping to set up two ultrawide monitors, isn’t the resolution between them additive?

[languid knot]

I think so? I’m not 100% sure tho

[swift cliff]

so if I want to run both at 1440p with g sync

Is there a meaningful difference between the 3080 and 3090

[languid knot]

There will be yes. Up to you if it’s worth it

[lone pond]

3080 will prob be best for the money compaired to the 3090 but if want go for 3090 if price dont mind

[languid knot]

^

[restive grove]

I've noticed there are no cpu vs gpu benchmarks yet, so pairing is just a guessing game.

[languid knot]

[stone raft]

[restive grove]

RTX sticker shock, I knew I'd see that coming.......

It's almost like the distributors are becoming scalpers

[languid knot]

Yep

Cause there’s no repercussions

[granite juniper]

eh 59% positive doesnt really seem like a good seller lol

[restive grove]

I noticed it first on the Canadian and European markets..

Which is why I gave up buying from them, even Adorama is giving me a headache registering payment methods...

[frigid anvil]

Would someone do me a favor.

[upper mural]

only if theeir are Resse bit cooikes coming

[frigid anvil]

I need a list of RTX 3090s that would work well with NVLINK, I only have 4 slot spacing. So they are going to be on top of each other so a triple slot card really won't work as the top GPU won't get any air.
Now if it's a 2 slot GPU that has a beefy cooler that extends past the 2 PciE slots it might work but it depends how far it extends down.

So yeah if someone could make like a list of cards that would work and are skinny enough to do this that'd be great.

[granite juniper]

any card+waterblock

[violet gazelle]

yeah your gonna have to water cool it bc the coolers are just so beefy

[granite juniper]

ignore basically every part of this minus the card dimensions @frigid anvil https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1E94FbF5jPqeyPATUQOTzgY82_sJUpEWIsZKHQI0dIhg/edit#gid=300086688

[terse bloom]

Yeah, honestly, I just don't see it. 3080s are already beefy enough as is, taking up 3 slots. 2.5 if you're lucky. But a 3090? Not sure if there is one smaller than a 3 slot. Not unless you tear it apart and do your own modifications on it.

[granite juniper]

eh theres a few 2.7 slot 3090s, the majority of them arent 3 slot afaik

[celest wave]

Damn

Here I am now missing two chances at a 3080 because I was unsure if I wanted it

When I could've bought it

Now that I want it

No drops

[frigid anvil]

I'm not doing water. So whatever it is has to be air.

At least not for now

[celest wave]

?

You ok Bryce?

[magic prism]

anyone got an idea on the next set of drops

[celest wave]

Nope

Literally in the dark like everybody except people working at Nvidia and retailers

[spare relic]

Bryce doesn't like drinking water

Bryce prefers getting water by means of condensation or something

[drowsy bramble]

He also prefers people to compile lists for him with dimensions that suit his needs

[spare relic]

Tailored lists that suit his needs

[drowsy bramble]

Lol

[reef heath]

was there a news about the estimated cost of the 6900xt?

[vague scroll]

2 dollar

[ancient crystal]

in a few days i can order my poorGPU

[gleaming charm]

I read somewhere the price was 699 USD

[ancient crystal]

RX 5600 XT

[gleaming charm]

but that's rumor mill

[ancient crystal]

6900XT

so we know what it's called and stuff

the info has come out?

[gleaming charm]

Nothing leaked will matter until October

AMD has been crazy quiet

I think anyone who would have leaked are afraid of getting fired

AMD doesn't normally do board partners at release

[ancient crystal]

except for lower end cards

where it's ONLY partners

the top tier stuff they only release their own to start yeha

[ancient crystal]

i want to be able to afford a 6700

but i can't afford a 5700 even

wait.jpg

maybe i'll upgrade to a 6800 or 6900 later on

by selling my 5600 XT

[sour lintel]

whoo bring that rx6900xt nitro on!

[zealous swift]

can i ask y’all a question:
i recently snagged the gigabyte rtx 3080 oc but i’ve been reading about this controversy about the hardware issue. i don’t really plan on overclocking anything but i want to make sure my equipment is functioning 100% out of the box.

if it comes down to claiming a warranty on it (i don’t haven much experience with this) is it relatively simple to just call a CS rep and get a replacement card (in the event that the controversy’s are hardware based)??

apologies for the long message, i don’t have much experience in this matter

[dense flicker]

if your card isnt functioning warranty should cover it

overclocking breaks warranty anyways i think

[drowsy bramble]

oc in this gen isn’t reaping much benefits anyways. So don’t do it. If you have issues and crashing make sure drivers are updated If it continues start warranty process

[zealous swift]

cool thanks guys

hopefully it works out alright

[limpid latch]

@zealous swift look at the back n see how many caps or modules it has

should hopefully be exposed

asus went all in and didnt cheap atleast for those components hah

[fluid star]

i think so many ppl waiting 3080 20 gb version aka 3080 super

[languid knot]

Rly? Better for me who doesn’t mind the 10gb then

[fluid star]

next gen games need more ram capacity btw

[languid knot]

At 4K yes, but 10 is enough for anything less....

Unless you are playing a single player game with a lot of assets which I don’t

So it does depend yes

[lone pond]

man everyone is hyped af for the 30 series while i'm hyped to finaly buy 2070 super..

[languid knot]

New or used?

[lone pond]

new

[languid knot]

Nice. It’s a very good card

[lone pond]

yah hopfully i can play Cyberpunk with maxed settings 60fps

hopfully

[languid knot]

What res?

[rich oasis]

@lone pond you realize that was a bad move right

[languid knot]

If it wasn’t for $500 then not really

[lone pond]

@rich oasis why ? i didn't buy yet but i'm thinking about it
