Correct, embargo was super draconian and could only talk about relative performances. Nowhere near what I'd want to see from DF but I was just responding that someone actually has the card. In fact they've had it for week+ IIRC?

I at least look forward to GamersNexus reviews. Steven was maybe the one techtuber that asked the question of how hosed will your CPU cooling get skewed from the reference cooling design. Everyone else uses open air test rigs too much.

Looks like MSI fixed up pages for some of their cards. The Gaming Trios are looking to be 323mm long and the Ventus 3X 305mm. The dual fan 3070 setups are still TBD on specs but should be much shorter of course. So if I'm gonna be sticking with MSI, it'll be the Ventus that will fit my Meshify C without much issue.

When you click on the 30xx series you get a link to be notified by email when they become available. I tried poking around for other products sold be nvidia so I could still set up an account, but everything seems to be sold by partner companies and you get linked to their websites for purchase. They partner with Digital River to handle logistics of their products (in NA at least) they sell on their store. When I ordered the new Nvidia Shield TV Remote, it came through them.

sean10mm posted:"AMD’s superior 7nm process plays a huge role in the efficiency battle between these two CPUs. While the 9700K consumes ~180W during demanding multi-threaded tasks, the 3700X doesn’t go above ~135W and the latter even has SMT (Hyper-Threading) enabled. When we’re overclocking both CPUs, the Ryzen to 4.325GHz all core and the 9700K to 5.1GHz, power consumption remains in check for the 3700X at around 160W while the 9700K skyrockets to a whopping 235W. This is important if power consumption during multi-threaded tasks matters for you." To be honest, I haven't touched manual overclocking on my Ryzen 3900X because the boost has been rather good and consistent with my cooler.

Some Goon posted:Yeah, they don't. They do let you order online and the staff will pull it for you to pick up, but they don't do that for limited quantity / high demand items. Probably just to get people into the store, they don't make any margin on the components themselves, same deal on their anti-scalping limits. Yep, the store will have these on shelves first and reps have to go pick them up from there to fulfill in-store pickup orders, but since there will be a line of people outside of the door, they're not gonna bother and just prioritize the people who waited in line.

Xbox Series X price has been confirmed and EA Play is joining GamePass which is making a strong value proposition for some people. Hopefully this means a few 30 series cards will live a little bit longer on the shelf for people to buy.

Statutory Ape posted:I like buying from B&H Photo, personally. Their shipping rivals (or beats, frankly) Amazon's. Idk if they're still not charging tax to anybody outside of NY/NJ, but that saved me about a component's worth of $ last time I built. Yes, they're charging sales tax now. But they have a scheme in place where they have their own store card and you are given a cashback reward on purchases made through it on the value of the sales tax and immediately applied on the purchase.

Pretty much why I made a short list of potential cards I want to buy that will fit my Meshify C without taking out the front fan: Nvidia 3080 FE - 285mm MSI 3080 Ventus - 305mm EVGA 3080 XC3 - 285.37mm EVGA 3080 FTW3 - 300mm

Cinara posted:If I have a Meshify C with a front Radiator + fan am I just hosed then? I didn't break out the tape measure yet but this is pretty dire sounding. If you can't fit it to the top, most likely. The 315mm length measurement assumes fan only. A radiator on average adds what, 25-30mm more? Edit: The FE is the smallest 3080 I'm aware of currently. The 3070 FE would fit at 242mm. 8-bit Miniboss fucked around with this message at 03:15 on Sep 10, 2020 |

Oh well, if that's the plan, then yes that should fit. AIB boards appear to be the length of their associated fin stacks for the most part. So an FE is your best bet.

Kingnothing posted:Has Nvidia even talked about adding an AIO to the FE? Based on how that thing looks I could see it being an absolute nightmare to remove. Or even it be a structural piece that is required to keep the pcb stable. I'd expect any waterblock designed for the FE would take it into account and include a backplate for stability.

Cinara posted:According to Fractal, the Meshify C has 315mm with a fan, and 335 without, which doesn't make sense if fans are 25mm thick. My current rad is 26mm so TECHNICALLY it would fit a 285mm card if the 315mm space is correct, but that's cutting it a bit close. This was something I noticed too when I was going through the manual before buying the case and the only thing I could come up with was maybe FD was accounting that some GPU's would have their power connectors at the front edge of the card rather than the top.

Taima posted:Do the AIBs ever bin based on the "level" of the sku? As in, the cheap base card vs the AORUS MASTER within the same model. Yes, that's why they usually have a few different models. i.e. The EVGA FTW3 vs the XC3, the MSI Gaming Trio X vs Ventus, etc. It sort of became less important as Nvidia limits overvolting now so overclocking it's a pretty thin margin the last generation.

K8.0 posted:Pretty sure GN asked a few AIB partners at the engineering level and was told that none of them did and they were sure no one else did either because it would destroy their margins. Far too much work for essentially no benefit. This much is true, again, with Nvidia limiting overvolting, it's capped off potential (unless you shunt mod I suppose). Seems like this generation it's up to whatever cooling solution rules supreme, water cooling not withstanding. Edit: Appears EVGA is clocking (not binned) FTW3 Ultras higher than standard FTW3’s: https://twitter.com/evga_jacobf/status/1303418923254120448?s=21 8-bit Miniboss fucked around with this message at 06:12 on Sep 10, 2020 |
