$400 or so would be a good price @lone pond
Just don’t pay $500 cause even tho you will have to wait that’s what the 3070 sells for so it’s a bit of a bad deal
rich oasis
I mean
Waiting 2 weeks in the lonng term would be worth it imo
Even if you cant get a 3070 at launch
You could probably buy a cheap used 2070s
spice prawn
technically i agree, but specific cases are exceptions @rich oasis
languid knot
Will they be restocking the EVGAs 2080 supers if I want to do the step up or will I have to buy one from somewhere else?
spice prawn
@languid knot they are probably hoping that the numbers lined up such that they dont have anymore 2080S cards.
spice prawn
do note, i am not saying it cannot happen
just dont expect it
because it is not really in their interest to have inventory of 2080S' now
languid knot
Yeah I agree. It doesn’t make a huge difference but running a 1440p monitor with a 2070 for a few months isn’t ideal hahah
languid knot
You are correct. But after seeing more reviews of the 3080, I’m more interested in the EVGA cards now. While the FE is still the best looking IMO, if I can get my hands on either I will be happy
spice prawn
the choice is yours ofc
languid knot
The FE seems to have slight disadvantages, such as the connector and cooling, that EVGA addresses so I won’t be upset with either. I’m wondering if there will be cables to address the FE connector soon though
spice prawn
just have a seasonic unit and it would not be a problem :P
languid knot
They have 12 pin?
languid knot
Well I am buying from Best Buy (certain reasons why, saving money is the main reason) and they do sell Corsair and sea sonic psus so I might just go with seasonic then
spice prawn
remember, specific model is more important than brand :)
languid knot
Is the focus a good model? I know RMx is good for Corsair which is why I picked it
spice prawn
Focus GX is solid
languid knot
Okay cool. Also learned that the asus tuf x570 comes with a cablemod discount code. That will be nice to have hahah
probably the wrong chat for this tho I appologize
spice prawn
its fine :)
static zinc
Corsair is also offering free 12pin psu cables if you provide proof of purchase of the card + psu
spice prawn
oh? they finally flipped on that one?
static zinc
its been like that since the 20th
languid knot
Well then that is also good to know. I like that they are fixing issues nvidia cause
static zinc
right but most people didnt get a 3080 on day 1 so thats why they waited i assume
since you need pop for both
languid knot
Well the design of the connector itself was inelegant
spice prawn
its a design that has a singular purpose on the card end of things @languid knot
all due respect, i am not going to click that one :)
but if it does what the url says
its a "show us how many are interested" link
languid knot
Yes indeed. I will always respect engineering improvements over aesthetics, just want to find ways to improve both
spice prawn
@static zinc i am not doubting you, i am doubting the marketing department at Corsair
static zinc
oh here is a blog post about it
spice prawn
because it is very cheap to say "we are working on it"
languid knot
Hey, false promises will always be the cheapest thing
spice prawn
re: blog post: yes, that contains less information than the nvidia one did :) (its basically a short rehash of their engineering video)

How is that game looking btw? The original gameplay looked okay but nothing stellar. I think that was alpha tho
restive grove
Squadrons? the development videos look stellar
languid knot
Well good. That might be a reason for me to pick it up then
restive grove
there is nothing i can do with it now
I gotta wait for my used flight stick to arrive

About to get to the point where I order a 2070 super and just do step up 
upper mural
Its looking like buying any 3080 atm is a bad idea in my opinion. Of course they will eventually address the issues with recalls etc
languid knot
It’s not EVGA tho which is good. The issue for EVGA was preproduction
upper mural
Actually its all, Even FE. Hardware Unboxed admitted it in a statement on Twitter
languid knot
Hmmm interesting that it went from the capacitors being the issue, but only on some cards, then it being other issues too, now it affects all cards? I don’t really buy it
upper mural
The PosCap thing is only a part of the problem
I expect bios mod to lower boost clock soon unless they figure it out
languid knot
I haven’t heard of any issues with the FE
upper mural
Me neither until i read that statement. Im not on Twitter so i cant link it.. I dont remember where i read it
languid knot
Not saying you’re wrong, just find it weird that I can’t find anything about it. I think people aren’t being entirely truthful with the issues
I’m thinking it’s a driver issue
I think the capacitors were a part of it
rigid crag
@frigid anvil i have that card. How much you get it for?
rigid crag
Aight
restive grove
okay back
yeah basically Best Buy fed their 3080 stock to the bot/scalpers instead of consumers.
stone raft
Has anyone trying the step up program for EVGA? Just want to make sure I am reading this right. I think I can only upgrade to 3080 ftw3 ultra gaming...not sure I feel like paying 800 for that.

Is the 2070 super good for 1440p?
sharp bear
I've heard the 2070 super is good for 1440p
rugged crater
Well 2060 super is pretty much entry level 1440p, so 2070 super should be decent
It also depends what games you want to play at 1440
Just YouTube 2070 super benchmarked at 1440p
crisp moth
would upgrading to a 3070 be worth from a 2060 super
rugged crater
Being a 2060 super owner. No
Especially if you only have 1080p monitors
I plan on using my 2060 super for awhile
Just put it in the beginning of this year
languid knot
I have looked and it looks okay. I am thinking about doing EVGA step up and I’d rather have the 2080s but those are almost as hard to find new now
crisp moth
yeah I have just 2 1080 p monitors one 240 one 144 hz
rugged crater
yeah I have just 2 1080 p monitors one 240 one 144 hz
@crisp moth unless you wanna drop money on new 1440p or 4K monitors, I wouldn’t bother. 2060super handles 1080p just fine
crisp moth
alright thank you

Hey guys are AMD GPU's driver still a problem ?
because I'm thking about getting Big Navi instead 30 series Nvidia
for my first build
1440p 144hz
restive grove
I don't think it's a driver issue, its a overclocking capacitor issue. Which naturally affects vendor partners that cut production cost corners...
steel bough
I’m thinking about getting the EVGA 3080 for my first build.
lone pond
stupid question about overclocking
do all the GPU can overlock or just a specific gpu can do it ?
does*
languid knot
All gpus can, not all can as much as others. It’s a part by part thing
Also, even if you have the same gpu model and all as another person, one might be able to OC better than the other
restive grove
Ye ole silicon lottery...
lone pond
You guys think it's worth getting 3080 over 3070
restive grove
Gpu OC apps become the issue, of which Msi Afterburn has the most features but I prefer Asus Gpu Tweak 2 myself.
Each partner Gpu vendor has their own spin on the applications, which may include Rgb control on the card.
languid knot
3070 is cheaper and will run at 70-100fps I think
languid knot
Then I would get a 3070 to save the money
lone pond
what do u think about next 60s series AMD gpu ?
languid knot
I would also wait for those. After seeing the 5700xt once the drivers stabilized, AMD might be competitive with the 3070 and they could be $100 cheaper
languid knot
Basically
Unless AMD has something major coming it’ll be another close comparison and more down to personal preference
languid knot
I’m still waiting on the 3080. I hope the 20gb version plus the issues with them scares some people off so I can pick one up
languid knot
No, but EVGA has been working on it and nvidias site was much better last week
The bots will become a lesser issue soon it just takes time
lone pond
best of luck for u men
wait a 20gb 3080
???
I hope those bots stay off my 3070
yeay
it's coming
huh
u haven't heard it ?
no
i have not
uhm it's coming baby
is it becuase people complained about the 10 gb
is it still going to be 699
lmfao looks like nvidia basically messed up withh the 3090
languid knot
No they just want two for development/workstation applications as well as single player games
And it’ll be more. Probably 800-900
lone pond
mm
lone pond
:))
I'm still saving up money for my first build
so still have plenty of time waiting them to fix their GPU up
languid knot
So both the 3080 and 3090 will probably get added ram down the road
And if you aren’t in need of a computer now, definitely wait until Jan-Feb
languid knot
Well I don’t know when the 3070 will be relatively available but it’ll probably be at least November or December
lone pond
LOL
Yeay
you're right
I don't know
If it takes too long to get my hand on 3070
I'll just get 3080
extra$ to use 5 years
stone raft
I been looking into the step up...gonna call microcenter tomorrow.
languid knot
I’ll wait until I can at least get the 2080 super to try that
stone raft
I just need to figure out is a 2080 can step up to 3080
stone raft
I feel like the 2080 super cost more than the 3080

EVGA XC3, Asus TUF, Gigabyte Blower? RTX 3090 for NVLINK
What would you guys do?
Those are all of the true 2 slot RTX 3090s I know and I want to use one of those when I NVLINK so I can get the best airflow.
And I'm not sure which one to buy two of.
violet dock
man scalpers really trying to game the system. Good luck explaining that one BTE outlet
frigid anvil
I like the Asus TUF and it's a high possibility for me.
Same with the EVGA card.
Gigabyte one I'm not too sure.
I don't know if I feel comfortable going blower style again.
frigid anvil
Well
I can't fit any thick cards with NVLINk because I only have 4 slot spacing between the cards which only leave 1 PCIE slot between them.
I need a true 2 slot 3090
And the EVGA XC3, Asus TUF, and Gigabyte blower card are the only ones I know that don't have the cooler fans hanging down another slot.
violet dock
is that even a option. well I guess basic 3 fan would be the choice than
the XC3 from what I understand is a great card
violet dock
I have not poked at the other.
frigid anvil
😩
violet dock
I like Gigabytes card design for its design. I dont know about the thermals or accousics
violet dock
yea, just save yourself a wolf frowning at you and dont do blower XD
frigid anvil
All my lighting is controlled through Asus AURA so I might go with the TUF cards.
Then I wouldn't need more software.
violet dock
worth a shot if you can find it
frigid anvil
I wish I could go Strix but they are wayy to thicc.
I already bought a Zotac 3090. Should be in no later than tomorrow.
violet dock
atleast you got one
frigid anvil
Yeah
Once the TUF cards are ready available I will upgrade to 2 TUF cards and go NVLINk.
violet dock
Im holding off on a ftw3 until the firmware updates around end of october
frigid anvil
For now I'm stuck with the Zotac card.
I might do dual Zotac 3090s if the cooler is thin enough.
I have to see once I get it into my case how much space there is.
faint kindle
I think the TUF cards are one of the better ones out at the moment
One sec I’ll link
This was informative
Essentially iirc zotac and gigabyte cheaped out
Zotac and gigabyte used 6 POSCAPs and no MLCC vs EVGA using 5 POSCAPs and 1 array of MLCC, FE uses 4 POSCAPs and 2 array of MLCC, but the TUF uses 6 MLCC
Granted this is coming from someone who doesn’t understand this concept very well but this is just what I took from said video lol
But POSCAP = bad(cheaper), MLCC = good(more expensive)
apparently
lofty karma
frigid anvil
@violet dock
Basically Zotac is trash and Asus is best.
I know that's a 3080 but 3090 shouldn't be too much difference. All use very similar cooler designs.
violet dock
hmmn. wheres evga sit?
frigid anvil
Not sure. Paul only had those 4.
frigid anvil
That's the Asus TUF he tested by the way.
Asus TUF is looking like an excellent card.
violet dock
pretty impressive
faint kindle
Most definitely
violet dock
asus also uses the best cap array
faint kindle
TUF also not marked up stupid high
frigid anvil
Yeah TUF sells at like retail.
frigid anvil
TUF is probably almost as good as Strix. Which is mad crazy.
My guess is PNY will be similar to Zotac.
faint kindle
Figures
frigid anvil
I'm a man of having the best or nothing.
faint kindle
I wouldn’t take a gigabyte even if I got the chance to get one tbh
frigid anvil
So I'll probably sell my Zotac 3090 and go with Asus TUF.
violet dock
i really wanna see evga in this lineup
faint kindle
It’s unfortunate but I hate how they look and hearing they don’t perform as well tops the cake for me
Curious for the xc3 vs ftw3
frigid anvil
EVGA is probably up there with the Asus cards. They usually are.
faint kindle
Seems like between ftw3 and strix, those two usually are in highest demand
frigid anvil
Normally it goes Asus>EVGA>MSI>Gigabyte>PNY>Zotac.
faint kindle
After seeing TUF like this though I’d say it’ll be up there too
frigid anvil
I want one. 😩
faint kindle
Found a 3080 tuf on eBay for only $1500

hiddy ho in the RTX conga-lines
I've seen the 3080/cpu gaming benchmarks I've been waiting to see.

the POSCAP/MLCC thing
now i know why motherboards always talk about their MLCCs
also has anyone tested a 3080 with an R7 2700? i'm curious how the bottlenecking is (I am sure there is some)
glad saffron
So I believe I have an anomaly instance of a 1660
languid knot
Saying the 3080 will destroy it in the title was a bit misleading lol
brisk flame
idk its not my article
languid knot
No I know he just used that as the title, and then in the article he states it’ll be close soooo not fully transparent
restive grove
so basically clickbait....
languid knot
Also with how it was explained it looks like they will be coming at a lower price than the Nvidia cards, so saying they get outperformed doesn’t bring price into the equation... and the 3080 competitor will have 12gb vram instead of 10 so I don’t see it as getting destroyed

@brisk flame depending on what rumour those W numbers are based on, that is chip alone. not the rest of the board

I wasn’t saying it at you in a negative way. Just saying the article was odd the way it was worded

yeah, still good compared to nvidias current offerings, but one again its all just based around leaks
faint kindle

also, something to keep in mind, i doubt amd is going to say "no" to the blanket permission that nvidia put forth for going ham on the watts

hopefully we get nice looking AIBs

I dunno, I don’t mind it all that much compared to some AIB 3080s, ugh

Gigabyte 
brisk flame
i think msi has the best looking one
faint kindle
I like the strix and the tuf isn’t too bad. The FE is aesthetically pleasing to me tho
languid knot
The evga cards aren’t bad IMO but the FE is the best to me
Okay so there have also been some leaks on the 3060 (ti maybe?) saying it’ll beat the 2080 at $399? That’s hard to believe personally
faint kindle
I imagine the 3070 will be somewhat similar performance wise to the 2080ti, as stated by nvidia, so if the 3060 is similar to the 2080 it wouldn’t be that far of a shot
Even if it were 2070, $399 is good for a card that well balanced
languid knot
I guess. I mean with less vram I think that the 3070 will be slightly worse than a 2080ti but with better optimization. Which is still good don’t get me wrong

It doesn’t suck. It’s comparable to the 2070 super now that the drivers are fixed
unborn sedge
The 5700XT is only driving one monitor because it doesn't have the same IO as the 1660S, and I haven't bothered buying adapters.

It doesn’t have ray tracing or some of the RTX features but that’s it

Maybe the specific one I got is bad?
It's the "Thicc III" model by XFX (the only one that was in stock when I got it, also cheapest at around 420€)
languid knot
It might be I’m not sure. I have a friend who has one and while they had a few driver issues it performs well now. Maybe an unlucky card? I’m not sure

3080 but hopefully retailers will have the scalper bots in check so that you actually have a chance of getting one
lone pond
Yeah
restive grove
What cpu are you matching this with?
I purchased a Ryzen 5 3600XT over a 3700x so it benchmarks like this...
I'm middle of the road and thats fine with me
lone pond
I was gonna get a 3900x because im gonna be video editing and streaming but I might just wait for the new ryzen cpus to come out.
restive grove
What if the scalpers go after the new cpu's, then you're screwed all over again.
There is no limit to what they'll go after if there isn't any consumer protection in place.
languid knot
I doubt it. They have less resell potential and either way 3xxx series will be cheaper
It’s the amount of hype for the 3080 that caused this issue. CPUs aren’t as demanded tho

That depends how informed and organized they are, they could all do it to be @%#hats for kicks.

Im probably just going to go to micro centre

Most of these people just saw the news that the 3080 was the next greatest thing for gaming which is why they did it

A nerdy display of power...

What a Microcenter?

I mean the bot companies make it easy to get the bots and run them if you pay. Paying $75 for a bot to make $700 off of a $700 card makes sense as much as it sucks
A 12 year old could buy a bot with their parents card and get a 3080
restive grove
Sorry but sympathizing with a scalper is as bad as being friendly with crack dealers....

Lol you think I’m sympathizing with them? When I can’t even get one myself?
restive grove
My life is hard enough, sure if I didn't buy, upgrade, and build seven entry level gaming/school pc's for the kids I could have afforded to pay a scalper.
But I don't have thousands to throw at Newegg anymore, the 3080 was my last big purchase.
languid knot
I’m not saying that’s what to do. I’m saying that’s the issue. That it’s so easily accessible which is what’s causing it. I don’t enjoy it and I would hope these websites will fix it
To their credit it seems Nvidia is trying. But it feels like Best Buy and NewEgg are still behind when it comes to bots buying the stock up

@languid knot dont get mad, just got home from work, but any drop today?

Best Buy went from retail to online handing all the inventory to the scalpers overnight

Yep. And I’m in the same boat as you. I can’t pay a scalper and buying one from one would cost about as much as my build.

I like the look of the strix or maybe msi the best, other than FE which is just so clean and not over the top but fits into a build so nicely from virtually every pic I’ve seen
The worst thing about FE is the adapter

Okay. Guess I was just hoping for sooner rather than later. Earlier today, saw someone posted on twitter that they got their ASUS STRIX 3080, and she was holding it up next to her head to show how big it is.
Tho, I can't find the post on my twitter feed anymore, so I don't know how old the post is.
faint kindle
I’m wondering if something happened with the strix
Like, maybe they realized the OC/crash issue that 3080s are having and decided to fix the issue before being shipped out of the warehouse
terse bloom
Except the Strix is supposed to come with all MLCCs, so shouldn't really be having clock issues, unless they're overheating.
At least, from what I've read, the bigger black caps are better for higher temps, but the smaller arrays are better for higher frequencies. So it's a bit of a tradeoff.
faint kindle
Yeah, I’d seen that as well after reading into them
terse bloom
But yeah, looking at ASUS DIY PC group on FB. Guy from Germany says he pre-ordered, and will get his STRIX 3080 Oct 15. But another person from EU says he'll get his Sep 30. But these are all "pre-orders" and so delivery isn't really guaranteed or reliable information on release.
