The card is good. Control is night and day before vs after, and I'm seeing smooth movement when panning in metro, fortnite, control, sekiro all at max. Generally getting over 100 fps in everything with everything turned on, ray-tracing, etc. I don't notice g-sync though. Looks like I can finally play fps games again! Not sure if it was worth it? But it is good? Maybe I wouldn't have noticed the difference if I'd got a 3070.

The shop I ordered on did another weekly update, still no non-OC TUF cards from Asus. If I have to start playing CP2077 on my current card, I might as well finish it on it, and Asus can go gently caress themselves. Don't offer a model you don't intend to ship in any reasonable time (--edit: considering).repiv posted:another ampere rumour for the pile --edit: From the latest NVidia display driver release notes: quote:Windows 10 Only [G-SYNC][NVIDIA Ampere GPU architecture]: GPU power consumption may increase in idle mode on systems using certain higher refresh-rate G-SYNC monitors.

Microcenter 3070 question: is it possible to check in-store stock levels on their website before they open to decide if it's worth making the trip over or not? Or are we still firmly in the "if you didn't line up at the door at least an hour in advance, you aren't getting anything regardless"?

I have seen some 30xx cards show up in limited supply at the store website in the morning before open. I have been stuck at work, so I can’t check in person what the deal is.

3080ti is a weird sku but i'm not complaining, we want compute & vram at work so the 3080 has been a bit of a step back for us, we're nowhere near capping out its 3d rendering capabilities. I dont know if its a response to the commercial market response or just trying to get 2080ti buyers to jump (since it's pretty widely reported 2080ti>3080 is marginal below 4k) but I guess I'm happy it'll someday theoretically exist.

Nvidia knows that there are "edge" compute systems out there that have to be COTS but still lowest cost/highest performance. Mostly think, Mil/Aero stuff. That's what that SKU will be targeting other than the 50 folks on youtube that will pick one up because e-peen; these are builds that would have previously used a Titan. They don't explicitly condone this use case but there's certainly a market for it.

There's a sign on the door saying you ain't getting a 3070 so I'm thinking the latter. Fantastic Foreskin fucked around with this message at 17:21 on Nov 11, 2020 |

Just got my MSI 3070 Gaming X Trio  man this thing is huge... installed it, installed the anti-sagging-bracket, booted up the PC again, everything seems fine. Unfortunately I don't have any time to spend with it until the weekend, but Control is downloaded and ready to go

Should I get a bracket for this Gigabyte AORUS 3080, is there a recommended way to makeshift one (legos?), or is the whole notion of Card Sag just a ploy to sell cheap metal trinkets for a 10,000x markup?

I joined the StockDrop Discord last week. Set myself for Canadian 3080 alerts... Got none yet... I thought I messed up so I looked manually at the alert channel and yup, there is really no canadian stock alerts at all in the middle of all the normal US alerts. Looks like I'll really need to wait for stock to normalize where you can buy something whenever you want... It sucks... I now have my first high refresh rate monitor so I'd like to see what it can do at 144hz!

Where are the cards evga. Get your poo poo together, I want to buyyyy. How long do we anticipate the discord lurking will need to continue to actually get one? I'm getting to the point where I'm thinking of signing up, but I'm in Canada. Is there a way to get notifications for Canadian sellers?

Maybe this is more for the PC building thread but does anyone have a sense of whether a 650W PSU is enough for a 3080? I've got an EVGA XC3 Ultra 3080 on the way and as of right now my PC has a 650W PSU and a slightly OCed 7700k. I've found conflicting information online. Buying a new PSU would not be the end of the world but I'd rather save the money and not have to rewire everything.

If it doesnt its good. There arent many cases of it being barely not enough and running poorly. Generally its fine or it isnt. Run a stress test on the GPU and CPU at the same time. Its not realistic that they both are drawing max power at once. If it does that you have enough juice

Buying a new PSU would not be the end of the world but I'd rather save the money and not have to rewire everything. They’re up to 350W, figure out what your CPU actually is and add them up to get a ballpark on what you need. Sounds like you’re fine though. I mean, unless your PSU is ancient can’t hit specs anymore.

If it does that you have enough juice That makes sense. So I guess my question is really, will it just shut down under load or will something worse happen? For what it's worth, this is the model of PSU I have. I don't mind if it shuts down and it turns out I need to get a new PSU, but I don't want anything to get fried.

I don't have a problem with this, but please make sure you are creating threads in SA-Mart and documenting the sale there. That goes for everyone, please make anytime you are doing buying or selling on SA, there's a corresponding thread in SA-Mart. I don't mind if you cross-post a link to the SA-Mart thread here. If it gets out of control we can go from there.
