I get discord notifications for stock on 3070, 3080, and 3090s. The 3090s still sell out. I hope its from people working from home that need it. We not poor though.

Easier/cheaper to drop to 12-16gb of VRAM and cut cuda cores while upping clock speeds to make-up the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaku3 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 After 2 days without a PC I am up and running. Long story short had to buy a 3600 in order to update the BiOS. 5800X starts up. Need to secure the heatsink and am making a new Windows 10 USB. So word of warning atleast with Gigabyte their processorless bios update tool failed me.

Been 3 days without a computer and it was horrible. I am up and running. Too tired to tinker. Now to wait for the 6800XT launch. I have heard that but didn't want to wait. I will probably just return the RAM and 3600 I bought put the money to the 6800XT. Probably get some more RGB fans. May also still technically be in the market for a 5950x. I don't think this chip can pull 5Ghz on all cores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littleronin Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 eVGA just sent me my RMA number to step-up to the 3080 FTW3 Ultra. I'll be sending out my card tomorrow in hopes of getting it before xmas. In the mean time, down to a 980 for me for a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spork3245 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I will give someone a $25 PSN, Steam, Nintendo, or XBOX gift card if they can help me get an EVGA 3080 FTW/FTW Ultra for retail. No, really. I’ve had zero luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, really. I’ve had zero luck. I was seriously thinking it might have been Jan/Feb before I got my step-up notice. So I guess there is hope. But yeah, I am glad I decided to just buy a new card and put in for the step-up the moment it arrived instead of trying to get one via the normal retail channels.

If I was still on a 980 Ti and not a 2080 Ti that’s the exact strategy I would have used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I want a 3080 so bad. Every time I see Newegg is doing a drop of cards, I get a little excited and then complete failure. This blows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The easiest strategy would to be to buy an EVGA 20xx card and use their step-up program, though (since you’re on a 980 iirc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexterryu Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 This discord has been fast and accurate. I scored an EVGA 3080 FTW Ultra last night thanks to it. Discord DISCORD.COM Discord is the easiest way to communicate over voice, video, and text. Chat, hang out, and stay close with your friends and communities. Speaking of which I have an extra and brand new, unopened ASRock Phantom Gaming B550 PG VELOCITA AM4 AMD B550 SATA 6Gb/s ATX AMD Motherboard that I would sell below retail if anyone is interested.

I think I got through last night due to the stock drop of so many cards/bundles hitting all at once. That said, I almost ordered a second one for a friend but decided against it because I didn't want the hassle of trying to sell an add random part I didn't want/need.

Yea, I’d buy your FTW Ultra, I can’t fit the hybrid cooler since all my fans are 140mm and it uses 120mm, and I really don’t want to have to rebuy my RGB Corsair fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littleronin Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Man going back to a 980 from a 2080 Super is brutal. Sadly my son's MSI 2080 Super I had is still with MSI being "repaired." Can't wait for the 3080 to arrive so I can continue playing Cyberpunk (and general using my ultrawide with not shit settings for games).

cusideabelincoln Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Welp, this $600 stimulus check will be the perfect excuse for me to buy an RTX card. I mean, I tried ray tracing in Control on a 1080 Ti, but 20 fps is only acceptable on the N64. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on how many games you play have Ray Tracing. With RT, the performance difference is fairly significant, however, non-RT the 3080 is about 30% faster than a 2080 Ti on average.

I primarily use it for multiplayer shooters' like Warzone, Apex. Then also a lot of the Early Access Survival type games. Cyberpunk is the first big release ive played where I care about high settings and performance in a long while, since Fallen Order. I'll probably end up waiting, but it's tempting when i see them available to to try to quickly snag one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably best to wait, and maybe the game will be patched up when a 3080 Ti launches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
