Received a damaged rtx 3080 vision oc from newegg the other day and now their refusing to replace it 👍
That sucks Newegg sometimes is trash
😦
At this rate gonna have to contact payal, they won't even give me a full refund it seems.
what was wrong with it?
dont feed into scalpers
half the rgb is dead, wire is out of place, backplate has a bend in it
Oof
@scarlet plover they cant replace it when they dont have any to sell
if you ask if you can wait for a replacement they will
They have new shipments of this card almost every week, absolutely no reason why they can't set one aside.
sue them
my friend did that and when they came back in stock he got one sent to him
they'll figure it out really quickly
Idk I probably will need to go through paypal at this point, they won't even give me a full refund.
call and ask trust me they will
Yes sue newegg this is bs
their is nothing to sue for its legal
Not sure who else to talk to at newegg, they're support always seems irritated about any situations.
@normal osprey I've talked to 2 different supervisors they won't set one aside
"Our system is automatic"
He got transferred to a stock person i think
you just have to get luck with the right guy i guess
oh lmao
Lmao ya'll dont have the money to sue newegg
can I post links or it autobans?
Well maybe one of the staff in here can help me idk
Newegg just has to add a waitlist for the gpus and cpus
ye auto banned
I've never had an issue with newegg before but this is absolutely ridiculous.
they dont let me post their own business rating, gonna pm u
half the pc community is going after this card you just need to have patience t this point
have to be level 3+ to post things
Anyone you'd recommend lol?
Rule 12
If you have a customer service question, please DM NeweggService
Pick one
I'm just a Techie lol
neweggservice, I don't even see the person/bot
I have like 4 accounts because it keeps locking me out unless its from that device so im not anything
Just Got an evga ftw 3 ultra 3070 so hyped
@cursive urchin here
@tired pollen nice
ty
NeweggService
#3472
Lol
I got it from a local computer store
oh bonus
Central Computer in the bay area
how much did you pay for it?
most likely base price if it was at a store
when does best but restock?
never
is an rtx 3060 ti a good gpu with the R7 2700? (non-x)
i've heard they do them in batches...
@lone pond might bottleneck whats your mobo?
should I change my mobo from an A320 to a X570?
but i have a 2nd gen ryzen cpu
but to not bottleneck it will atleast need 4.o pcie
ok
what about 2nd gen ryzen
a b550 chipset doesn't support 2nd ryzen
mine does
Yes it does
how?
how what
It supports 3rd gen and older
and 4th gen with bios update
ok that makes sense
Yes
mine says it work on the box
Messaged the newegg service discord, hopefully it gets resolved if not going to have to take further action which is not rlly what I want to be doing.
Nice
Just ridiculous that their support can handle this in a good manner
Completely screwing over the consumer at this rate
ive only had good this with newegg so you must just have bad luck
I've purchased numerous things from them in the past and not had this issue
what is a recommended mobo?
and 30 series cards arnt helping you
Not one bit
What chipset
@lone pond what i have
oh b550
Personally like the x570 elite or pro from gigabyte
the msi mag B550 tomahawk
Depends if you want an ugly one or a nice one
I would say mine but its up to your budget
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089CZSQB4/ref=cm_sw_r_oth_api_glc_fabc_k0w2FbTCZ855W
MSI B550-A PRO ProSeries Motherboard (AMD AM4, DDR4, PCIe 4.0, SATA 6Gb/s, M.2, USB 3.2 Gen 2, HDMI/DP, ATX) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089CZSQB4/ref=cm_sw_r_oth_api_glc_fabc_k0w2FbTCZ855W
its nice and gunmetal grey/black
Check this one
thats another great one
trying to get banned the fast way?
ah yes we love your religious cult propaganda
imao
ban this mans
he gone
Or did he get banned?
he did not delete they deleted him
Lol
banned his chats are gone
Good
i didnt do it btw
Did you look at the link
yes
STOP
that kid again
I really love the Asus rog b550f
I bought that mobo
With WiFi mainly cause I want Bluetooth
Not cause of WiFi
Lol
Lol I'm having a few issues with my ROG B550-A, but I still like it and it should be solved by January with alpha bios builds (running beta bios for my R5 5600x)
I just placed an order for 3090 and now i get an email out of stock order voided
is it just me
😦
pretty nifty gpu and its back instock
just spreading the link around a bit so then people see it incase they were tryna buy it like I was a while ago
thast a ncie cooler
When do y’all think AMD will come out with a new mid range card with RDNA2?
how much would you think that would cost? and what would it compare to other graphics cards?
Who knows
have to wait and see what they do because their pricing is wonky compared to nVidia
One happy family
Found this with no bids
$700 msrp yes
Don't support scalpers

Almost, I checked myself and still got wrecked
Make them walk a mile on legos...
has stock returned yet
even under the assumption the guy just tried to wrestle scalper bots and ended up with 3 cards auctioning them on ebay is something you only do if you can't return them
so if that seller isnt a scalper he's just as likely to be a thief
maybe works at a best buy and misplaces stock
@lone pond
its already over priced
iGame GeForce RTX 3080 Advanced 10G-V
i cant find the msrp for this also does anyone know if the daily shipments besides sun-monday to MC are always same shipments or are cards different through out hte week
how long does it take zotac to process orders
guys is i7 8700k rtx 2080 a good gaming combo for 144hz 1080p?
so I can achieve 144fps 1080p every game ez?
dont get that right now though 
3 gens out of date cpu wise soon
and 1 gen out of date for gpu
doesn't matter if it does the job it's good
When will Evga or Nvidia restock ?
New Egg drop tonight?
disgusting pfp lmao
True
have a 3080 FTW3 EVGA at my local MC -- in store only
@light surge which one?
Madison heights
pain
I take trips but I need to be in communication when I grab the card
because when i get there it might not be there but there might be other options (thats how i got my 3090)
imagine getting a pre built pc and the rtx 3070 is faulty on arrival 😭
a friend bought a prebuilt 3070 for $2500
i got mine around the same budget
i can't get past the boot screen and it shows green dots so i'll have to contact the manufacture i guess tuff tuff
Does anyone know the best place to buy a MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB GAMING X TRIO Video Card?
They aren’t available anywhere and that’s the last part I need
Until the scalpers and bots go away, nowhere
No one has them
UNless you get extremely lucky keeping tabs on a particular store or go in person to a Microcenter
@tender mulch tysm for the info
Ye
I honestly wouldn't expect to get one until 2021 unless you get extremely lucky
Just use an old GPU for now if you have one
Oh
Well, in that case, just be patient
Might be a while yet
Newegg restocks at 8 PM EST. Keep tabs on their website, might get lucky
the 3080 from my local MC is now gone (the website no longer shows it)
@tender mulch couple weeks probably?
Um, no
We're talking end of Quarter 1 of 2021 for stock to come back to normal
Maybe Quarter 2
IE, March or April of next year
😂dang
Unless you get lucky and keep tabs on a store online to get one
The demand is out stripping the supply so fast
Or keep tabs on Newegg restocks, 8 PM EST every night and aren't picky abut which 3060TI you want
Can probably get one before then
imo id avoid zotac though
Z OMEGALUL TAC
notac
ZOTAC TRASH
I avoid Zotac and MSi
dont trust gbyte either
ASUS has bad support and is too expensive
EVGA is bae
Wonder why xfx only does amd cards now.
They've been AMD only for like, 10 years now
evga is kinda going downhill with its new cards though right?
please tell me I’m wrong
what would be the best variant of the rtx 3060ti in term of price and cooling
Any one you can get your hands on
even the founder?
Yes
They aren't bad this time around
The MSI Gaming X Trio is top but.....how much more are you willing to pay for maybe 4 FPS?
what is a good temporary gpu under 150
i mean its priced at 499 right? i was gonna get 3070 founder anyways
i dont mind the price if it got good cooling and 4 extra fps is bonus
FE is $399
The extra $100 is definitely not worth it
Thermals aren't that much better to warrant an extra $100
For that money, get a 3070
but the 3060TI is 2080 Super level performance so....yeah
do you know how much better the 3070 than 3060?
3070 then if you can swing it
3060 TI will do OK at 1440p but....3070 worth the extra $100
the fe 3070 doesnt run too hot right?
I entered that one Linus tech tips one didnt do the cyberpunk one
the case is a bit weird
The difference in thermals between the FE 3070 and Gaming X Trio is about 2 degrees C
at idle
and about 10 at load. But it's still not bad
Any one you can get will be fine, except Zotac. They're kinda spoopy
I got a zotac 3090 - it's running great, and I'm going to undervolt it
I wouldnt worry about undervolting
To reduce temps and power draw?
nah the caps should be fine now after nvidia lowered the voltage in the patches
yeah for sure - but I want to do it to reduce temps and power anyways 😄
you totally can I just think it would be fine without
unless you crammed it in a mini itx or something lol
lol
yeah I read the review on WCCFTech and they undervolted the Zotac 3090 with some really nice results
they reduced the power draw from 369w to 280w - that's pretty huge
had over 5C temp drop
as long as it doesnt affect performance too badly
no performance loss
even better
yeah interestingly the main reason they undervolted was due to the Zotac having that locked power limit
but I will probably flash it with the Gigabyte bios if I want to get into overclocking it in the future - for now, I'm just really enjoying it as is (minus maybe the undervolting I'll do). Huge upgrade from my 1080ti
I honestly almost went 3080 (like they're available right). the 10GB Vram though.. was going to cause me problems. Downgrade from 1080ti lol. And I do video editing and 3d workloads
yeah I'm hoping for a 3080ti with more vram. I am just holding on to my 2080ti for now
lol oh yeah need the dlss
lol yeah, it's going to be nice to have - I actually have a 2070maxq on my laptop and was able to play Death Stranding on my 4k TV with it using DLSS. Was pretty amazed.
not even sure if the 3090 could do 60fps with max rtx 4k and no dlss in 2077
I don't think it can no
I'll be playing @ 5120x1440, so I'm just under 4k
I haven't tried it yet, haven't had the chance
its fun
but I think I'll get at least 5-10 more fps than 4k
yeah, correction I tried it on my 1080ti briefly - at 5120x1440 💀
was not a good thing
yeah plus you will get about 20-30 more fps than me just with the 3090
nice
as long as you have a decent cpu at 5ghz
my CPU is gen1 ryzen threadripper, so for gaming at lower res it sucks
but ultrawide to 4k, it's GPU bottlenecked for most games
I think you might be more single core bottlenecked from the cpu
well, I am in games like WoW which only really utilizes a single thread
most modern games like Cyberpunk use multi thread though - you'll see no noticeable difference at 4k between my 1950x and a 5950x for example
the 3090 called me and it says it wants a 5900x 😉
hahah yeah, I almost upgraded to zen3, but I decided I really don't need to atm at this resolution especially
Going to hold out for those 5nm Zen 4 chips with DDR5 😄
I agree to a point but single core speed is still important even in 4k with a game that uses multi thread
not losing a bunch but still losing some fps
yeah, maybe a couple at most though honestly, unless they are heavily CPU bound games
like Anno or something
Really any open world game tbh
Don't forget about lows
GTA, Cyberpunk (that game doesn’t work at all, anyway lmfao), Read Dead etc
Lot of them CPUs get good enough averages, but lows isn't really as easy to get good at
yeah, the difference is so negligible though, it's not worth the $1k+ upgrade to get zen3 @ 16cores
I mean.
1950x serves me well for almost everything - trust me I have heavily debated upgrading. It's just not worth it.
not until zen 4 anyways
I don’t think the 5950X is worth it for gaming, since it’s not intended for gaming
I think a 1950x is going to bottleneck a 3090 by about 10% of its performance and so does steve at gamers nexus 😉
I have a 1950x and of sucks at gaming. Warzone was horrible
Ok so hear me out
@hard wren at what resolution?
Switched to an i7 8700k and FPS were better and gameplay was smoother
Would a LG CX 48 inch work well for a 3080ti (which basically is all but confirmed) paired with a 5800X?
thats true he was talking 1080p and it is much less at 4k but he also said the 3090 wouldnt be the bottleneck in 4k either due to its vast amount of vram single core speed is still just important even if spreading the load some processes can only use one thread and the faster the task is completed... the quicker it is
@young dune warzone worked great for me with a 1080ti @ 5120x1440
Also I find it ironic the 5900X performs slightly worse then the 5800X in gaming
single core speed again
Not a big difference, really it’s 1-3 frames difference but it’s just funny to think about
@hard wren yeah, like I said at 4k the GPU will be the bottleneck even for me. I may lose a few frames due to gaming inefficiency on the 1950x but it's not worth the upgrade for me at such a high cost - I really do need to keep all my cores
yeah if you need them threads you need them threads
well almost* 4k 😅
I wont be upgrading my 8700k either since intel cant seem to solve the node issue with 10nm and is pushing back "real" new cpus til the end of 2021
@tribal hedge that is interesting, and probably has to do with managing all thems coreseszezs
11000 series doesnt count in my book if the rumors about specs are correct
I have only briefly read some rumors about it
14nm regurgitated 10000 series basically with lower boost speeds somehow
The gaming performance between the two is so negligible that it doesn’t matter
But the price difference is considerable
I'm pretty sure I'll be all for throwing my money at zen4 honestly, regardless of what intel does, even though my gen1 Ryzen has it's flaw for sure 😅
And I get the feeling AMD will lower prices once again, when Intel releases 11th Gen.
Ah yes next Gen
Strip it of 2 cores
its like they neutered the 10900k and made it a 11900k hopefully those specs are wrong
Wait a minute, what’s even the point of getting a 11900K if the 11700K is just the exact same cpu with lower clocks
Also AotS seems to report 11900K with 8 cores
It’s basically all but confirmed
its sad
“How are we going to beat our competitors 16 core processor?”
10c on ring bus was kinda crazy tho
well on the plus side they doubled the tdp so hopefully we can OC the crap out of them
Yeah but that’s kind of all Intel has rn
It’s just “we overclock better then Ryzen, please love us”
The specs aren't wrong, they don't have space for 10 cores
@wicked hound reducing the ring-bus latency is cool but it seems like it should have been part of the previous gen not a new gen in itself
@ripe ivy how did they fit it on the 10900k then.....lol
They took this new arch, and put it on their old 14nm node. That takes up way more space, so it's the best they can do right now with what they have. 12th Gen they will actually be on 10nm apparently and that's where they should have 16 cores at the top
larger ring bus probably got in the way on the 11900k so it could have 10 cores lol
wait so does the pinned message mean that this generation of gpu, evga is the best?
Ehh I think
Uh maybe, Zen 4 is allegedly coming 2022
yeah ddr5 will hit both around the same time causing us all to upgrade
I mean we probably won’t see DDR5 benefits for a while
I thought Zen4 was allegedly late next year?
But maybe I’m wrong and stupid
You guys can upgrade, that stuff is gonna be expensive on launch 
maybe not for gaming, but perhaps for other workloads
I've heard Q1 2022
Honestly considering that Intels delayed their cpu launches so much
It won’t surprise me if Intel beats them to the punch AGAIN
ah on what ddr5?
Release.
rumors say ddr5 will have 6000mhz speeds at launch
I saw 8,000 and higher
Well considering the spacing of release, yeah I would expect Intel to release first probably
Well maybe
So DDR5 usually goes between
3200mhz to 8400mhz
It's actually a toss up
intel supposedly rushing for 2nd-3rd quarter 2021 but the elusive 10nm issue has to be solved first
Wouldn't be the first time
yeah Im sure they are aware and dont care
They did that with 7th and 8th gen
Accidentally cannibalizes their own product line up, like a boss
11th gen is gonna be a cheaper generation I think
I mean considering they're bringing the cores down for the i9, I think it's a given
they wanted to release with what is going to be 12th gen as 11th gen but the 10nm thing
so they throw out 11th gen to keep money coming in while finishing the real 11th gen and calling it 12th gen 🙃
Well Rocket Lake is a different Architecture, it's just still running their ancient 14nm process
rocket lake was originally supposed to be on 10nm and was backported to 14nm
how long until stock gets normal, how long do I need to Walt to get a 3070
Estimates are 2-3 months
Wasn’t that given like back in November/October
It’s prolly closer to 1-2 months. Even then stocks been getting considerably better for the few seconds it’s available
should i get a 2600 and keep my gpu or get 3400 and upgrade?
no no no i mean get 2600 or 3400 and upgrade ram,ssd,etc
ah
il send you a screenshot of the gpu
geforce 1050
well...gtx 1050 is uh...not that great but can still play alot of games
i wouldn't pair a 3400g with a 1050 or upgraded gpu
yeah i know... thanks for all your help.
though price for amd CPUs aren't that great
yea. i agree. looking at my price tracker, i just realized that rinow, the 3400g with vega 11 is more expensve than the 2600 6core.
oof
btw, any suggestions on gpus? im trying to go sub 200
what cpu and mobo you have rn?
first build
right now? kinda hard to get a new gpu under 200$
agreed. i might stack up 2 gtx 1050s in the future if they get cheaper. not sure if trhat is a smart choice or not
so...no mobo and cpu yet? if thats so
i would go for the 10400f
why tho?
oh...you want like to do SLI?
what is that?
btw, if you need a gpu rn and your budget is 200$
the best option is going for used GPUs
eh...forget
huh. intresting. would newegg have them?
btw, what country are you in?
and do you have a list in the pc parts like a pcpp list
used gpus?
nah
the used gpus you will be looking for is on ebay
first time builder, trying to go sub 750 dollars. il send oyu pc list if you want. been watching lots of setup wars and every build guide there is
send the list then
you could have set it here and a link btw
and get that a400 out
replace with a mp34 512gb
@shrewd elm
thx. illok into that.
which one has more value to get, a msi 2070 super for 400 or a tuf 3060 ti for 510 ?.
i was just gifted a 5700xt and the temps are 50 degrees but when it gets to 100 it doesnt thermal throttle is this asrock special tunning or do i have a bad card or shoudl i tune down the clocks a bit
I thought the 5700xt asrock had bad cooling
yea return it
cant it was a present
but i will just turn down the clocks a bit and undervolting
some 5700 xt cards get to much power so undervolting wont mess with clocks and do somne research on the card
np
Are 5700xt hard to fix?
and yes, that word makes NO sense :)
It means that your silicon will “die” eventually so they make sure you know LOL
kinda makes sense
welcome to the weirdness that is english
theres tooling dies
No I mean like black screens etc
That can range anywhere from hardware failure to software failure
Gtx 1080ti or 3060ti
🤔
1080ti cheaper if get used and still better than like rtx 2060 or RX 5600xt
Just got my Sapphire NITRO+ Radeon RX 5500 XT
anyone know if they are restocking today?
newegg twitter should notify if they restock a couple minutes before
wait are they only doing combo deals?
always have been~ 👨🚀 🔫 🧑🚀
I think they are doing combos on cpus but gpus should be fine
combos stop bots from getting all the cards
the bots will just buy the combo.. sell both items later
The worst part about how newegg is handling graphic card stock is that its a slim chance of getting a GPU and i really dont get much of a choice to get the card I want.
I like blower cards 
I've got a 99% chance of having a gpu that's not working. All I've got left is to rebuild my pc. And I dont have the box to return it. Feels bad man
where
but what website
ooh thanks
That’s interesting
They marked ampere as restock, but limited quantity Navi cards
Is there a possibility we might actually be approaching ampere availability 🤔
Lmfao who am I kidding
nice got a 3070
Ngl genuinely kinda interested on how Nvidia clutched this generation
aand they are gone
I can still find some cpu’s in stock
bruh rip
Idk about the gpu’s though
I tried within about a 10 second period of when they first showed up and they were already unable to add to cart
they are gone
However I know the 3090 Suprim got restocked
By the way am I the only one confused by the Suprim X’s existence
It feels so out of place to me
tried for 5600x but couldnt find any
Immediately restocks as you say that lmao
Anyone wants to swap a 6800xt with a 3080 BNIB, Canada
hey i think ive talked about this before with someone and they said id be fine but would i be fine using an oculus quest with a sapphire pulse radeon RX 580
You’d be “eh”
Reason: Bad word usage
cant say sh it?
no
Yes avoid all the common naughty words 
and dont try to avoid the filter
hi guys i have a question regarding 3080 vs 3090. i have an old cpu i7 6700k
i do have a 4k monitor lg 27gn950
will it be a bottleneck for the cpu if i get a 3090
Well, the graphics card won't be bottlenecked at 4k per say, however depending on the game typically more recent AAA games: The thread count of a 6700K is pretty much the absolute minimum so you might see some rougher 1% frame drops but the overall average performance will be fine
In simpler terms
Also don't get a 3090 it's a waste money, the amount you spend on it does not translate well to extra performance over the 3080
It’ll work fine for now but later you might wanna consider stepping up
is a 3090 and 5950X enough for online classes or i need more
yeah but getting a 3080 is a lot harder
I'm aware, apparently Nvidia has been selling those to miners 
and also i was thinking if 10 gb is going to enough for future
For say 3 or 4 years, at 4k nah. I mean you'd have lower settings for sure
There is the 3080Ti rolling out in February now, that will have 20gb
Basically it's a 3090 with the same memory bus as a 3080 and double the Vram
at this time making a choice is so hard, at times i am thinking to buy whatever i get
add to cart on Newegg never works for me
i currently have a 970 and anything is better that this
it sends me to my shopping cart, but there's nothing there
same here i see a few 3080 but it doesn't get added to the cart
@ripe ivy thanks for you inputs
Wasn’t it January?
Yah
Cause of the 6900
The 6900XT when it pulls a 3090
@tacit atlas 3090 VS 3080 (Both using i7-6700k)
In both cases, the 6700k will create a 10% bottleneck on the GPUs.
@terse bloom in that case should i get the 3090 now if i get it and later upgrade my cpu/mobo
Unless you need the extra VRAM, the 3080 is the better choice. Since performance wise, the 3080 is a much better deal.
Or just wait until Q1 of 2021 and spend $1000 on a nerfed 3090
With the 3090, you're basically paying double the price for a 10% increase in framerate and performance.
The only nerfs is -4 gb of vram and less bandwidth
you're right the diff is negligible with double the price
The big difference only really appears in RTX imo
I might get a 3080
But yeah, if you're thinking of getting a 3090 now, and then upgrading your CPU/Mobo later.
I think it's better to just get the 3080 now, and use the extra $800 to buy a CPU and Mobo too, that way you can upgrade all 3 at the same time, and not have to suffer any bottleneck.
Alternatively you can wait for the 3080ti, and still have an extra $500 to beef up your pc.
really the 3090 ain't worth the money rn
Yes
Anyone know what a Evga 1080TI FTW3 Hybrid is worth?
Probably around 300 to 400 maybe?
Prices are beefed up now
Thank you, so hard to figure these prices out right now with everything so crazy
Do we have a hard date for 3080ti or just speculation it’s in Jan?
I have a 1080 (non-ti), MSI GAMING X, and last I checked, it was around $250 to $350 a couple months ago.
January to February is the range rn
3050, 3060, 3070ti, and 3080ti got leaked
hardly even leaks when we all already know they are coming....lol
and considering the 3080ti got mass confirmed in a mere few weeks
the other 3 are probably gonna arrive soon
now I dont think we can say yet if there will also be a super version of the cards if they discover gddr7 or something but it could happen
i think they're trying to simplify the naming
i remember reading about that a few months abck
*back
3080ti was leaked when the 3080 came out.. So it's not even a leak anymore, just a question of when.
one of the complaints of turing was Supers and Ti's confusing consumers
Aren't they already using GDDR6X for the 3080 and 3090?
mhm
i think the 3070ti might use 6x
but thats a rumor rn
i find it interesting that the 3080ti was easier to find and leak then the 3070ti
makes sense to be honest I want a 3080ti not a 3070ti
who wants to be practical when hunting for rumors
The video watched that takes about a 3080 50 said it was like 200 dollars
@terse bloom thats true if they gave the 3070 and below gddrx they could become super!!
@hard wren i think nvidia said they dont wanna have another turing disaster with a Super and Ti
I dont believe them lol
ngl if they make a 3090ti, i'll actually laugh
and they could even argue now that super is a thing its not repeating the mistake....lmao
like just nothing else like a super duper 3070ti or something
3090ti
literally the card no one asked for
anyone on here got the 6800 xt?
Isn’t one of the reason for 30 series shortage because of the short of gddr6
big navi is incredibly hard to find
Not me. I have a i9-10850k paired with 3080
its more so the 6X limitation
its why cards like 3070,3060ti are easier to get and why they restock soon
It's more of they can't keep up with demand
many many reasons
And poor die yields for the GPU's
Hold on. We don't know if they're looking for trade. Maybe they got tech questions about their own 6800XT?
I blame poor die yields the most as well even if nvidia wont admit it
nvidia threw samsung under the bus lmao
But is probably also for rona
they outright said "well samsung isnt producing enough wafers for production, so its out of our hands"
doesnt matter since you wouldnt want anyone else making the memory anyway
ok I have a very big / important question : do you guys think a 3080 with that 10 GB VRAM is enough for the next 3-4 years on 1440p ?
definitely
thats why am considering a 6800xt instead
Yes
glad they dropped micron
You don’t have rtx
I been reading about "actual" VRAM usage versus "allocated" VRAM usage
If you get a Radeon
How do they run together? This is the combo I’m building right now.
I got the 3080 yesterday, and have a 1440p monitor
not good...
guys please quote each others so we know who is talking to who
10 GB of VRAM is more than enough
i guess the argument for the 3070 having too little can be made here
Great so far for me. Mind you, I only got the 3080 yesterday. Upgraded from 1080.
@crystal lark they don’t have even have an excuse for rtx
Nah, that's fine too. Might struggle with 4K but 1440p or lower is fine
the 3070 has the same amount of VRAM as my 1080 which is 4 years old. Thats pure BS
NOt really
Faster memory to
Ye
4k could really use 16+
Speed
I’m sitting here running a 970 so I can only imagine...
rarely uses anything more then 12 from what i've seen
Is the 10850k good
@tribal hedge for now
Oh I am comcidering getting a 5900
and 8k kills my 2080ti cant even play 8k with dlss on 😢
8k
Yes. It's one of intel's best cpu. The only difference between 10900k and 10850k is like 5% in performance. Basically, the 10850k is a 10900k that didn't pass the 10900k quality test.
i dunno how to feel about 8k rn
its pretty
hmm but games in 2+ years will def need more than 10 GB VRAM no?
nah
i mean, we keep going up in terms of VRAM requirements. It was 1 GB, then 2, then 3, then 4 then 6 then 8
for 1440p?
If you get a amd gpu there’s no rtx
Makes a big difference
in like
@tribal hedge is right if you aren't talking 4K+ 10gb is enough but 4k screens are becoming more mainstream
You're talking about the future.
If you're gonna say "games 2+ years from now", then you might as well wait and buy a new GPU 2 years later, instead of now.
just realized this means the 2080ti is now technically a mid range 1440p card
I would say asking for your gpu to last 2 years shouldnt be a huge ask
oh how times are cruel
they are cruel cant believe how far its value dropped
I feel like the 3080 sould have more memory
like driving a jeep off the lot. and half your value is gone
yeah 8 for 2080 11 for 2080ti
I'm just saying, don't try to future proof or plan for the future. Look at what the 30series cards did to the 20series.
so true and yet it hurts so bad
id future proof with the 30 series
the super didnt even increase the amount of vram
Mabey future proof with psu
its a midrange 4k graphics card price tag for high tier 4k fps
@tiny sierra if you want the best future proof card that doesnt terrorize the bank
get 3060
i hate to keep saying this but
well because the 6800xt already has 16Gb
so in a way its a lot more future proof in that respect
and its also very powerful
the 3080ti is easily the most ideal for any resolution, 1440p and 4k
I feel like I should be using that evga lease plan for my cards now lol
agreed. except its just way too pricey
ye but a 3060 is a 2060 super price tag for 2080ti performance
2080 super*
u right
it does come close to a 2080ti though
Reason: Bad word usage
its a good deal :)
which nearly cannibalizes the 3070
family friendly :D
Well the nvidia cards have better performance
yes/no @tiny sierra
not really
they have better performance but worse price to performance
3060ti is slightly worse than the 2080ti 🥺
in pure rast, Navi and Ampere trade blows with each other
in MANY games the 6800xt just is more powerful. I think on average of 20 games, the 6800xt still is ahead for 1440p
Yup but for me rtx is important
Amd has no excuse for it
completely useless
i know but I dont want it
raytracing has definitely come a long way in the entire 2 years its been around
nor raytracing
not for a 60% performance hit at 4K
what
not many people care about 4k tho
native 4k with ray tracing, sure
but if you're using dlss, the performance hit is neglible
I'm more of a as long as I have 60fps Im fine gamers I know some people love those fps
*negligible
trueeee @hard wren
i can't even hit 60 fps on most games 😭
in some titles, its even better then the rast with rtx+dlss
2080ti has no problem with rtx max 4k dlss on in 2077
tbh nvidia just offers more for their price imo
i see it this way
sure, the 6800xt is $650
but think about all the features you'd get with a 3080
somewhat agree
for just the extra $50
It’s I agree
its not
its a mixture of bot
both
for me
considering i could care less about 4k and raytracing although i enjoy using it sometimes
1080
as a launch day 2080ti owner I though rtx was stupid and hated that some of my cores were devoted to it. Now that more games have it and I have seen what it looks like with and without I dont want to go back to no rtx ever again lol
havent used it in a while but eh
imo, more games should definitely leverage rtx
especially since if implemented well, its a night and day difference
i mean look at minecraft
Ok but when it comes down to it would you guys pick nvidia or amd
whats my price range?
In all honesty, 6800XT is more expensive than the 3080..
I mean, if you actually look at AIB card prices.
800
Eh, personally I don't think it matters too much
definitely 3080
wdym "ten is meh"
specially more and more games use more and more VRAM, not the other way around
last gen, 11 was plenty and nothing really maxed the 2080ti out
its like GPU performance, its only going up, not down
10 is more then enough for 1440p, and 4k (you'll probably need to buy the 4080 on launch though.)
I think we're gonna see more Vram usage this generation
I don't know how 10GB is meh. I mean, I haven't played a game that even allocated more than half yet.
10 is pretty much just enough right now
10 for 1440p is PLENTY
it will use what it can
but I dont want to. I want to be able to keep my GPU for 4 years
Unless for productivity
like 2077 uses all 11gb of my vram
i thought you didnt care for 4k or
I wouldn't want just enough for a $700+ card
if I had more it would probably use more
Well does it? Or does it allocate the 11?
the 3080 is a great 1440p card that isnt meant for 1440p lmao
Shhh. I still love the 3080 on my 1440p monitor
Watching my FPS counter double for all my games after upgrading from a 1080
I have a 1080p 240 hz monitor
i watched a comparison of 980 v 1080 vs 2080 vs 3080
3080 is definitely a generational leap against the 2080
@ripe ivy I think it just uses setting that use as much as it can saw a 3090 using 13gb so maybe thats the max since it had 24 to give
double of the 2080, slightly over 100% in some areas against the 1080
but the 980 was brutalized by the 3080
some leaps are bigger than others
like gtx 580 was only 8% more performance than gtx 480
hey thats like the radeon 400 and 500 cards lmao
It was a refresh, a half node shrink
yeah they concentrated on heat reduction on the 580
fellas hear me out
480 was a space heater
a 64 core chip with 5950x gaming performance and workload performance lmao
it'd be insanely hard and difficult to manufacture
but its a dream
5990X will be close enough 
Just buy an epyc
what’s better: tuf 3070 or xc3 3070?
tuf
tuf imo
And build a server
cool
ya so I only use 1440p, will NOT upgrade to 4K, and I need to keep GPU for 4 years. I dont have $$ to shell every 2 years on a GPU
evga is dumb sometimes
so what ever VRAM I get has to last 4 years
3080 works more then enough
it'll last you, worst case scenario, 3 years
best, that might be 4-5. If you're fine with medium settings and can keep it in good condition you MIGHT squeeze just a bit more out of it
I feel like evga only hires designers to work on the kingpin cards and doesnt care about the other cards it makes
We're 2 years into the 2080 release date and it's still a very capable card. 3080 should be good for 4-5 years @1440p
yeah
if you try really hard
yeah thats true
could be good forever at 1080p 😉
1080p
1080p wont' be good forever though
thats the rub
im aware
but 1440p is slowly gaining ground
so basically by like
Like, massivley king
2025, 1440p and 1080p will probably be in competition with each other then
is what im assuming?
As in, barely 6% of Steam users are 1440p or 4K
every screen in my house other than the thermostat can display 4k its time for everyone else to catch up lol
im planning on an entirely 4k household lmao
4K QLED living room
4K OLED home theatre (trust me, i have my reasons)
4K basic led for guest room
4K LG CX 48' for pc
its expensive but worth it
I like my oled but its iffy whether I like it better than a qled
It doesnt always happen
@arctic bluff how old is it?
Are you playing 2077?
what card?
Sapphire rx 590 nitro
@solid bluff no
I play games like COD mw, warzone, fortnite, rdr2 etc
Okay. I know that crashes gpus 🙄
What version of the driver are you on?
In all honesty, the only reason I wanted to upgrade from my 1080 to a 3080, is because I plan to buy a new 50" 4K TV and wall mount it above my PC set up.
@arctic bluff I would ddu the drivers and reinstall first
I did that a few times already
20.12.1?
thats not good
Yes
GPU fan is spinning , yeah?
I unistalled it, then used ddu in safe made and made sure it was unistalled
@arctic bluff on the plus side all sapphire cards have a 2 year factory warranty
its done if you ddu-ed and reinstalled drivers
@ripe ivy yes
That's gonna be core temps though
70c isn't bad
that card will die soon
Ye
power saving
@tender mulch thats at 35% fan speed btw
Buggy as all heck
@hard wren i dont have that
Ran into an issue where that was killing someones GPU driver
Never even heard of it
But if you don't have it don't worry about
Ok
Gotta love 590 tgp
Thanks
How old is the card?
1 year
Only surpassed by 3090 iirc
K
Im sorry Im calling it time of death 8:46pm
Got it last year december
Yeah, DDU the driver and fresh install
2 year waranty though so no problem they will exchange
Change your HDMI cable?
No luck. 😭😭😭
Long shot but heh
@tender mulch uhm no
Yeah RMA to Sapphire
call sapphire tell them artifacting they will send new card
I contacted them
The processed it
But I have to wait 1 month😭😭😭
I thought it be some bug
Or drivers
if it was outside warranty there is more we could do but at this point best to just send it in
Do you have an iGPU
Because that’ll be your new graphics card until the replacement comes lmao
@hard wren in UK, i have to contact the company i bought it from
ah
@tribal hedge no
Tragic.
silly UK laws
And they will try to fix it first before they give me a new one
And they cant lend me a card for time being
so you now have to wait for the company you bought it from to be the go between not sure how that is "helping" the consumer
