I think the power cable might be too close to his fan and it's making noise. Haven't watched the video because I am working but I think that is his problem.

Link200 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I turned off my bot to set it up for the gigabyte launch and the fuckers dropped other cards Apparently NewEgg turns on their bot detection for the big 3080 drops. It wasn't on the last 24 hours. Interesting. Oh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link200 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 So I decided to give it one more go. It popped up in inventory at 9:48. I got to checkout with the same familiar not in stock message at the end. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-3080-10g-gddr6x-pci-express-4-0-graphics-card-black/6436223.p?skuId=6436223 I'm refreshing this at 10.

Xbob42 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Hope you guys get yours soon. Upgrading from my 1080 Ti has been a damned revelation. The 1080 Ti was never realistically a 4k card, so when I got my 4k monitor and tried Doom Eternal on my 1080 Ti, it ran pretty poorly maxed out. Maybe 30-40 FPS. It just felt bad. I pop this bad boy in and at the exact same maxed out settings and resolution, I'm getting 120 FPS locked. Playing Control at max settings (and "performance" DLSS) and getting 70-90 FPS at almost all times is crazy. The game looks and feels so much better. The reflections are insane. Seeing an entire room reflected back in the convex plastic of a cheap clock hanging on the wall, while the polished wood behind it is doing the same but in an obviously different way due to the material, it's soooo fucking good. And finally Minecraft RTX, where you get to play with these things on your own and build cool rooms and worlds with absolutely incredible lighting, I haven't enjoyed a GPU upgrade like this in YEARS. I hope it's not coming across as rubbing it in, because I had to fight for this fuckin' card too, but I'm just saying, once you do finally get it, it's a damn good time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all. You arguably need it more than me. I am rocking a 2080 Super. Not exactly a slouch of a card. I would like to have a 3080 by Cyberpunk though. I think it is doable.

You should have been getting twice that performance in Doom Eternal with a 1080 Ti. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 4k/maxed settings? I dunno as I don't follow 1080 Ti benchmarks, but another issue is that my card was starting to really struggle with hitting my set thermal limits (84c) which was also causing performance drops. Typically only under very heavy loads, as now that my wife is using it to play FFXIV at 1080p she's getting like 5x the performance of whatever old AMD GPU she had in her machine.
