I managed to get a 3080 FE in today's Best Buy drop. Since I'm running on a Corsair TX650W from 2008, I figured it'd be a good idea to get a PSU too so that my new $700 graphics card isn't running on a 12 year old PSU. I ordered a Corsair RM750 because power supplies are also out of stock everywhere.

I was getting black flickering, but only while a game was up and I tabbed out to Chrome. No issues while working all day today. My driver version is 461.09

Rusty posted:I didn't know the RTX 3080 FE had additional LEDs besides the white lights? For some reason after I bought a headset, my 3080 now cycles through all the colors in a location I had no idea it even had LEDs. Here's a bad photo of what I am talking about. It's the green part. If you have Precision X1 you'll see there's two lights. The RTX logo is only white and you can control brightness while the V is fully controllable RGB.

Nothus posted:Best Buy had a drop this afternoon and it was like chum in the water on the discord I'm on. I didn't get poo poo though. What Discord was this? I'm only on ATR-Stonks (now called Nerdspeak?) and there was no mention of Best Buy.

Spacedad posted:3070ti might be the nice sweet-spot GPU I'm looking for TBH. I might do that. No, the model number ends in LR. It has to end in KR.

K8.0 posted:No, because it's a 2 year warranty card, although nothing but knowing the vagaries of EVGA naming nomenclature would tell you that and the step-up page doesn't contain that information. For all the praise people love to give EVGA, they are absolutely Acer monitor name levels of cryptic with the step-up program. They honestly deserve a lot of poo poo for it. They tell you, but it's not obvious. quote:WHAT PRODUCTS QUALIFY FOR THE STEP-UP PROGRAM? "3 Year Warranty" is a link which you would only know if you hovered your mouse over it that leads you to the warranty page where is says this: quote:3 Year Standard Limited Warranty Product Suffixes: -A1, -A2, -A3, -A4, -AR, -AX, -CR, -CX, -DX, -FR, -FX, -SG, -SX, -KR, -K1, -K2, -K3, -K4, -K5 -KB, -KA, -KF, -KM, -KP, -KS

The NYC Best Buy had 62 according to a guy on the MC Discord who got a voucher.

I got a little tired of the temps on my 3080 FE being high so I ordered some Gelid pads to replace the stock ones. They came in today from Amazon, so I either has it coming, or all the other talk about counterfeits is getting to my head. I'm wondering if the 2mm thick sheet I got is counterfeit. The packaging is the same height but narrower, the colors are a little faded, and the text is a little blurrier, as if ClearType was tuned off, than the two 3mm sheets. Has anyone ordered these before and can confirm or deny my suspicions? Front:  Back:  2mm vs 3mm:   2mm vs 3mm:

Yeah, that's what it looks like to me too. And the tab with perforations looks different as well. Stupidly didn't look at who they were sold by when I added them to Cart. Currently the 2mm and 3mm are sold by "Retail storee," but shipped by Amazon.

TOOT BOOT posted:I don't think it necessarily matters who the seller was because of co-mingled stock. Yeah, this was my worry. I was also just thinking that maybe they needed the wider packaging for the 3mm in order to not squish the edges since since it is a whole millimeter taller. Like how envelopes can only hold so my paper.

For me it was Circuit City and Best Buy. I would always gawk at the neon green Alienware machines and play Medal of Honor Allied Assault while my parents shopped. I had no idea that Microcenter existed until 2012(?) even thought the location closest to me opened in 1998. PolishPandaBear fucked around with this message at 18:40 on Dec 21, 2021 |
