does raja have any good hardware under his belt? it looks like his tenure at Intel is going to be a dud too so i'm wondering how he's managed to fail upwards, and even a contender for Intel CEO

NicelyNice posted:I dunno why more card manufactures don't push silence or thermals at the cost of a bit of performance - there's gotta be a market for this. Ridiculous the card sounds like a jet engine at stock. Because saving 20% power for -1% perf doesn't sit well for the Youtuber e-peen manbaby crowd

I could go for a power virus, my room is cold and I don't pay for electricity so my computer acting as a space heater would only be a positive

I gave up on my non OC TUF 3080 and ordered a Gigabyte card for 10% more. Seemed worth it to not have to bother checking for information anymore and gently caress ASUS/Alternate for the total lack of communication anyway. 1070 for scale, it's a long boy  Was quite loud in the normal fan mode, but the quiet bios is pretty much silent and gives exactly the same performance so

Back in the day we had a mirc script which calculated the length of your vpenis, Virtual Penis, according to the hardware you used. It was quite fun, it outputted the length in centimeters to the chat. You could see your penis grow longer by installing new, better hardware.

It’s nostalgic to see some hardware forums still do the owned hardware as part of a poster’s signature. lol and certain NAS enthusiast forums where posters list their insane home hobbyist storage solutions

Samadhi posted:For those in the thread who have gotten 3080 cards: how did you end up snagging one? I got 2 3080 FE cards using the Tu Madre discord and having an account with Best Buy set up with shipping/billing info. Usually happens around the end of the week. If adding it or checking out doesn’t work stay tuned in the discord, there may be a trick like clicking ADD TO CART a hundred times. I almost walked away once before reading a message saying to just keep spamming the checkout.

I hung out on one of the discords (Tu I think?), saw a notification earlier this week that Best Buy was about to get a drop and then  till I got one.So here's a weird thing that's happened to me since installing my 3080. My BIOS post gives me 4 short beeps and then boots as normal. No other issues. Spent some time researching it and the first batch of Google answers didn't add up (Timing/Memory failure) but then I found this https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/j18rf7/mainboard_beeping_4_short_times_after_installing/ I also found some other results where multiple people with 3080's all have the same issue. 4 POST beeps, but no other problems and everything works as normal. Anyone here experience this?

Im still REAL salty at AMD for the RX480/580 stuff. That crap was completely unstable and I don't even game. Just running desktop stuff! Wasted around $600 on 2x of those stupid cards. 1070 replaced them and has been %100 stable.

The 3080 FE situation in the UK is tragic. There's one small drop every 3 or 4 weeks.

I missed last week's one because, despite being glued to discord for days, I went to the kitchen to make a cup of tea and missed the 2 minute window they were available on Scan. Last week's FE drop was the first one for a month, no?

No there was Scan FE stock the previous Wednesday, the day before the new Ryzen's were released. Prior to that there was one on Monday I think?

DrDork posted:I don't think this is true. I think the codes are generic, but you do need a Ampere card in order to redeem them--I was able to redeem one that I got from a 3090 on my 3080 without issue, so I don't think they're in any way locked by S/N or whatever.. Open question whether you can redeem a code on a 3070 that doesn't normally come with one, though. I was joking. I’m 99% sure it’s just a transferable code. No S/N or specific cars needed. Pro tip for those who still want a card and are on the discord: pay attention to the general chat around the time of drops. I scored that Gigabyte 3080 by reading chat and getting ahead of the notifications by a couple minutes. Also start F5ing the Newegg 30XX or BB 30XX listings around that time as well.

I’ve bought 4 cards so far. One for myself and 3 for friends. I was frustrated and about to give up, then suddenly got lucky and got 4 within 3 days. 1.) An EVGA 3080 XC3 Ultra that I got through the EVGA waiting list. I was lucky that I had clicked Notify Me on 9/16. Getting the stock email for this was the beginning of my lucky streak. I love EVGA and I’m happy I got mine from them as I am kind of a loyal customer at this point. Their warranty and customer support really does live up to their reputation. 2.) A Gigabyte 3080 from Newegg, thanks to the Discord. It came bundled with a PSU which my friend needed anyways. I used Paypal for fast checkout. This card is HUGE. My friend had to buy a larger case than he had planned just to fit it. 3.) A Zotac 3070 from Zotac, thanks to the Discord. I tried Zotac drops for days and finally got lucky. It’s not easy. You need to be logged in and use the checkout links. Zotac gets a lot of poo poo but this card looked very cool and solidly built. 4.) Another EVGA 3080 XC3 Ultra from Newegg, again thanks to the Discord. It came bundled with a motherboard that I’m gonna return and my friend is gonna eat the $15 return fee.

I feel like I'm least likely to get lucky with the Zotac site because that thing crashes every time there's a drop

FlamingLiberal posted:I can't even express how frustrating it is to be on top of these Amazon card drops only for it to not add to cart because I guess it's already gone? Yeah, I was right on top of an Amazon drop earlier of the TUF 3080 and still couldn’t add it to my cart. I’ve just been trying to get either an EVGA 3070 (step up option) or EVGA 3080 or the TUF 3080 and have struck out every time this week.

I’m seriously thinking about buying a prebuilt computer so I can get a 3090 without waiting forever. Falcon Northwest is tempting the hell out of me right now.

I'm hearing a faint ticking noise, almost like the second hand on a quiet clock, with my XC3 Ultra 3080. That's not coil whine right? I'm afraid it's going to make me go insane eventually.
