Are people buying used 3080s for inflated prices? I'm trying to raise cash for a business I'm starting, and I've got a 3080 founders edition. I'm not playing many games right now and there isn't much I'm interested in until later this year so I am considering selling it and buying another one sometime down the road when supply is more reasonable. What kind of price could I get?

I got my Bar update done this morning and it shows as working on my FE. The process took like 15 seconds so it was painless compared to a MB bios flash.

"Sometime down the road when supply is more reasonable" doesn't seem likely for 2021 so make sure you really don't want a new 3080 for a long time. The 3080 prices are bonkers in Canada, not sure in the US.

I have to update my MOBO and GPU bios? Seems like a big walk for a nebulous performance gain...

(For instance, the promised 5% FPS gain promised in Cyberpunk would be... 2-3 FPS in my case)

That’s a firmware update for the card. X1 is software and doesn’t have firmware updates.

Whether or not that’s “the” BIOS update I’m not sure. They’ve put out BIOS updates in the past to fix small issues.

Ah well there you go. But yeah I don’t think it was THE update to resize my bar either—it must have been a couple of weeks ago at this point.

Is it still almost impossible to get one even if you take the effort to use these bot programs that scalpers are using to get cards for resale on ebay? I got lucky and got my card the first week of release so I haven't been paying much attention, but I thought it wasn't that bad if you used some of those bots and had patience.

Updated drivers and clenched the booty hole while the vBIOS updated, came out the other side unscathed. A quick run around in Cyberpunk got me a 10FPS boost over what I was getting last night.

Not bad for a free update.

I went for the 3080 and the 3090.
The 3080 is still validating the quiz results and 3090 let me buy after about 20s of waiting.
Gotta say, the quiz was a good touch. If you had to look up the answers then you probably would not be able to complete it in time. The KOTOR one was the toughest for me. I picked turn based because i remember pausing in combat, but I think I had it confused for Mass Effect which I would consider real time with pausing.

how long did they give you to buy it again?

Also you were allowed to buy two?

Mine left me on a permanent black screen for 15 minutes so I rebooted, 3080 FE was disabled in device manager, had to reenable and reboot and now it says it is applied.

Maybe don't gently caress with it if you aren't playing one of those specific supported games. I get the feeling like RMAs aren't going to be speedy right now.

Okay, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I updated my vBIOS (using the correct revision number), I updated the graphics drivers, I went into my ASRock motherboard BIOS and enabled the 4G thing and Resizable BAR... and both Nvidia Control Panel and GPU-Z are telling me that BAR's still not active. What gives?

That was a bit of an annoying process. I updated my motherboard bios for my Aorus z390 last night with their QFlash feature, which was pretty painless. Dialing my overclock back in was a little annoying but not a huge deal.

The 3090 vbios update was a little more nebulous. The utility said everything was good, but after I restarted I just got a black screen, no video. I reset CMOS battery because I had to do that after my OC attempts last night but that didn't help. Eventually realized I could enter my pin and get windows sounds, so the thing was posting. I used onboard video and confirmed Windows is coming up, then went into BIOS. I had to disable CSM and that fixed it.

There's nothing about that in the NVIDIA guide, so I imagine a lot of people are going to be having the same issue. Something to look out for!

And of course, updating the motherboard BIOS did the trick. I don't know why it should have, the mobo already had support for Resizable BAR and the update notes mentioned nothing about it, but it did.

If you still have a legacy boot disk you don't necessarily need to reinstall Windows, mbr2gpt may be able to convert your disk to UEFI. I did this and it took me like 15 minutes, almost all of which was loving with reagentc since it was broken for some reason

Very easy to enable rebar

edit: on my evga 3080 flashing the BIOS took like 30 seconds, just required me to type "y" twice, and had no issues

I was using Moonlight to stream my games from a Windows desktop to a Windows laptop and the laptop was running hot as hell and crashing all the time, and whole stream would lock up if I typed things too fast... I booted the laptop up with an Ubuntu thumb drive and installed Moonlight to that and now it's been two weeks of the laptop running cool and quiet. I don't even have the thumb drive in it, the OS has just been running in RAM for weeks as I sleep and wake it.

2021 is not the year of linux on the laptop, but for "receive streams from this GPU and don't do anything else" it is kicking rear end.

I'm a little confused about the Bios updates. My 3080 has a silent and performance mode. In December I updated the performance mode bios to V2 and today I updated it for the resizeable BAR support. If I switch over to the quiet Bios do I need to perform both updates or will the Resizable update released today include the V2 update as well? It seems like there's a difference between the nvidia update and the Asus update.

The bios updates are found here: https://rog.asus.com/ca-en/graphics-cards/graphics-cards/rog-strix/rog-strix-rtx3080-o10g-gaming-model/helpdesk_download
