Thanks for the heads up on the Jet site. I couldn't turn it down, have been waiting to buy a GPU for a while.

I installed my RX 480. I should probably visually inspect it by taking the heat sink off before I flash it with 8GB bios though. I wonder if anyone can come up with a way in software to make sure.

Thanks, I think I will give it shot, not for a day or two I think though to make sure everything is stable. Thanks for the link.

I went ahead and flashed my 4GB RX480 to 8GB and the higher clock speed. It's the XFX card I got from jet.com for the people that got that deal. Before:  After:

I guess I got lucky, I didn't really even plan on getting one this morning as I was burned out trying to pre-order a PS5, but I clicked the email link and appear to have successfully ordered one lol.

I got my shipping notification from nvidia, so guess it's real, but I won't get it until Thursday. I just rushed through the process as fast as I could and guess it was free slow shipping as the default. I hope more cards show up for others.

MadFriarAvelyn posted:I didn't buy one at 6 AM PT. Rusty mentioned in this thread that they had managed to click the link to the store in the email notification NVIDIA sent out about an hour after the launch was supposed to go live and managed to order one without issue. So I went back to the NVIDIA store to check, was able to add one to cart, and then went through a slow 30 minute process to make it through the checkout process with their backend servers dropping HTTP 5xx errors every other attempt. I didn't use a bot, just a lot of persistence, page refreshes and retries to make it through the order flow manually.

I ordered my 3080 on the nvidia site at launch day, was supposed to be delivered today, but literally has not left the fedex facility where it was sent lol. I called Fedex and seems that facility is flooded with orders so who the hell knows when I actually get it. A week with no tracking updates seems ridiculous though.

I talked to Fedex on the phone and apparently the location in MN is swamped with orders and taking forever to dispatch. It took 6 days for my card to even leave the facility. I'll finally be getting it tomorrow it looks like.

I still haven't received the card I ordered on 9/17 thanks to Fedex. It's literally been out on a vehicle for three days, but for some reason they haven't delivered it.

I got my 3080 today finally and installed. Was pretty picky about power cables, I had third party extensions and it did not like them at all. Ran timespy first thing to see about stability, seems fine, but didn't clock above 2ghz. Score seems fine, but lots of people with my system that have better scores. Took a full eleven days for Fedex to deliver.

I want to try the new performance overlay but enabling the experimental features I guess means it has to call home and check for an update which never finishes, I am guessing it's becuase of their site being hammered, but I have tried it since last night. Has anyone been able to turn this on?

The HDR is really bad and unusable with the LG, but other than that it's pretty awesome.DarkestLite posted:Anyone notice their 3080FE loud as hell? It’s probably because I’m used to my ASUS 1070 that I never ever heard, even during full load, but I got to try it for the first time last night for 45 min or so (Playing Control, everything maxed) and it would kick the fans up to what I assume was 100% quite often and I could even hear it through my headset.

Also, I have three DP cables, and only one works without the screen turning on and off every 30 minutes for some reason. Really weird, one is brand new from monoprice.

I'm not complaining, but kind of surprised that a 1080ti can still go for over $400, seems like with the 3070 coming out, it should have dropped by now. Maybe the prices will start going down when more people can get their hands on these cards.

I bought a 3900x when it came out and it was hard to get even then, I can't imagine how hard Zen 3 is going to be to get with all the tech being sold out instantly right now, though maybe the process is better now and they have millions ready to sell.

spunkshui posted:People posting “fake launch” on the nvidia subreddit in a thread with 14000 comments after seeing the dell news. I mean, it's clearly a demand problem, more people want them than they can produce. I think the issue is nvidia should just be more transparent. There is definitely unprecedented demand for tech right now but no one will believe that if you're not transparent on what your supply is. It's not like nVidia doesn't want the sales, I'm sure they are doing everything they can.

Seriously, CRTs were massive and most people had tiny screens with huge bezels, in their peak, people were using 17" or less. It's easy to see why everyone was eager to throw them away.

Subjunctive posted:Hang on a sec, I just had a breakthrough and realized that some people might actually be serious about “it’s supply, not demand” and vice versa. Supply is only a problem if it doesn’t meet demand, and demand is only a problem to the extent that it exceeds supply. You can’t separate them, and there are no good forecasting tools.
