How’s the warranty on NVidia FE cards? I just realized I’ve always bought EVGA so I have no idea what NVidia is like.

I've been looking at the TUF card gallery, editing the URLs you can get high resolution pictures, and the cooler looks to me making large contact to all important parts, including VRMs. Yeah, I think all the cooler layouts we've seen so far suggest full coverage for the die + VRAM at least this time around, and probably also the VRMs. By "the whole thing gets hot" I meant more that the plastic shroud on most coolers remains reasonably cool (<40C), while the FE has 50-70C touchpoints all over the entire thing.

Their actual support service isn't as great as EVGA's, but it's not bad.

If I were to get an FE, I'd probably set up some spare fan at the bottom of the case blowing some modicum of air into the general direction of these two passive bits of heatsink. So long it ain't a Noctua, it should be near invisible.

Combat Pretzel posted:I don't know. I've been looking at the TUF card gallery, editing the URLs you can get high resolution pictures, and the cooler looks to me making large contact to all important parts, including VRMs. And it's pretty oversize and has three fans blowing on the heatsink instead of just two. I hope some of the reviewers has reviews for both the FE and the TUF online tomorrow, to see if there's a considerable thermal difference. I keep mentioning the TUF because it looks like one of the visually least offensive AIBs. I'm also planning on a TUF card because the cooler does look immaculate. All aluminum shroud too. My FE 1070 has a Accelero Xtreme III bolted to it so I'm a bit spoiled when it comes to thermals. I agree that 3 fans is more then 2, and 2.7 slots is more then 2. My money is on the FE being good for cases with low airflow, but board partner are better in open air and high airflow cases. Currently planning on blindly buying it on the 17th in person at a microcenter.

AMD strongly signaling their target demographic is young children scraping together allowance to buy a graphic card. I think I can pretty comfortably go with my 3080 and not worry about what they have.

Though I'd have preferred 2x HDMI 2.1's on there. At what appears to be a strict 2-slot cooler design, that's either gonna run silly hot/loud, or not be as powerful as some people are hoping. Presumably AIBs will do their usual work with it, though.

I've never bought a top tier GPU before or anything on launch day, but I RMA'd my 5700xt today so currently have no GPU which makes a 3080 look like a great idea. How difficult has it typically been to buy on day 1 in the UK? Are we talking 'be online at 2pm when they go on sale and you should get one' or 'tickets for Glastonbury' levels of luck needed?

The USB C on Big Navi is actually power in. You'll need an external 100W power supply. Once again AMD is the true innovator, Nvidia plebs just get a new connector.

Not sure if it'll also link in to a USB root hub, but that would be a double-bonus. I know it doesn't sound like a big deal, but I have an enormous mess of cables already, so thinning or eliminating any of them would be appreciated. Yes, I know you can do DP -> USB-C adapters, but the fewer adapters the better for the same reason.

repiv posted:meanwhile evga is charging I think you are also forgetting the all-important cable combs. Honestly I have no idea how companies get away with charging what they do for additional cables. My friend just bought a 750W Corsair PSU for $120. And then promptly spent another $80 on cables because she wanted them to be white instead of black. And it didn't even include the 24-pin connector because she read the listing wrong--it would have been $110 for the pack with all the cables.

Antec's no-frills "heavy duty" GPU bracket is 20% off with "coupon" at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B089NRZKW5/ Even though they have it oriented one way, I don't see why you couldn't turn it sideways to minimize its visual profile.

According to the builder thread you have to be very very very careful about using cables from other PSUs as things can go catastrophically wrong if the cable isn't actually compatible, so just triple check before trying one.

Is there a compilation of all the released versions of the 3080? I'm trying to track down all of the ones that are no bigger than 2 slot, and not coming up much avove the GPU bracket, like the FE and the EVGA 3080 XC3. Microcenter isn't gonna have the FE so I'm trying to see what any other alternatives would be to fit my case. Edit: this seems to be the best listing? https://videocardz.net/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3080 Edit 2: Jeez I think that XC3 and the FE are literally the only two 2 slot coolers.

I honestly wouldn't trust Zotac given the thermal figures we're seeing. And I'm not saying that because I have first or second-hand knowledge. I'm merely saying that because I've seen those brands on their shelves.
