Microcenter posted:A.) We are expecting a very limited quantity of RTX 3080 cards for the launch on Thursday 17th. We anticipate quantities of less than 20 per store. We are working hard to get these cards in as quickly as possible, and are going above and beyond our normal shipping processes. Well poo poo. Microcenter may not be the way to go for this. I guess I'll still show up early in the morning but if there's more than 10 people there I'll say gently caress it and try to order online. Shame too as I was planning on getting a new monitor + RAM there too and now I definitely won't be getting that if I order online.

El_Molestadore posted:Sweclockers did notice a difference in CPU temps. Closed case with a Noctua aircooler on the cpu. This is a bit unfair considering the 2080Ti has a lower TDP at stock. The German reviews posted earlier had it running against an OC'd 2080Ti that supposedly was around the same TDP as the 3080 and the results were toe to toe similar and should be a bit more representative.

AirRaid posted:Yeah can't add anything to basket right now, says out of stock I got an order in, but I've got the 'stock unavailable' thing too - according to their help (on the website, not live chat or anything) that means it's not cancelled and if they get stock it'll automatically go through. I'd say "guess I'll keep it as a backup" but it doesnt look like I have a choice, the cancel order button is greyed out

Let’s be real: the reason for all this “it’s not higher enough than the 2080ti” and “Nvidia only said double the 2080 you knobs not the 2080ti” is because we’re mentally writing “3070” in place of 2080ti and wondering if it’s worth the bother. For me, I can say no. I’d need to buy a whole new case to fit one.

It seems EVGA is almost universally considered the best as far as customer service goes; how's Nvidia to deal with directly, were one to manage to get an FE from them?

I'll tell you goons what I'm not going to buy. The ASUS STRIX 3080 which is $150 more at $849. I'm sure I'll sell out instantly as well though.

Josh Lyman posted:I should’ve gotten the DDR version which I think was the V6800 but the SDR version was already very expensive (for the year 2000).  And it had the longest useful lifespan of almost any gaming card I’ve had. It was replaced with a GeForce4. Though if I had the money for my 1070 at launch instead of riding the Bitcoin wave, it would have beat it.

Kraftwerk posted:WTF? Creative used to make video cards??? Creative made “Graphics Blaster” graphics cards back in the day when even getting Win95 desktop to appear needed an add-in card. 3D accelerators like 3Dfx Voodoo came around and were sold under the branding “3D Blaster”. Nvidia’s big thing that made them emerge as a major player was merging together the basic desktop card and the 3D accelerator that took over in certain games together into one card with drivers that weren’t abhorrently bad (hello, ATI.) Onboard sound, onboard video, onboard networking, onboard storage controllers, children take these things for granted. We used to have motherboards with 8 slots for this reason.
