DrDork posted:They do if you want to enable RTX at >1080p, though. But, yes, it'd be nice to see them add it to games where the visual quality improvements would be a bit more noticeable. I imagine most of the people playing MSFS are doing so through Game Pass. Also, all those games are free or have been on huge sales before unlike MSFS and don't require a high-end computer to run well, except for Borderlands.

I was really annoyed that I had to be up at 6 AM this entire week for a virtual conference but given that I'll actually be awake for the orders to open maybe it's a silver lining. Was hoping to read the reviews yesterday but I guess i'll have one day to decide how hard I want the 3080.

preorders only make sense if the product is going to change its production to meet demand. otherwise it's just a reservation system. doesn't matter when it opens!

I’m definitely waiting for reviews. Too much power and heat for there to not be at least 1 card model that doesn’t get adequate cooling. I’m willing to wait to see which one it is.

Kraftwerk posted:So I'm getting mixed messages from Canada Computers. One location is saying they're taking deposits on RTX 3080s and you just have to "bet" on which card will be in stock, other locations are denying any kind of pre-ordering exists per NVIDIA. Hey quoting this again because I happened to be out doing errands and decided to just drop into the store and talk to them. They are not taking "preorders" but they are sort of loopholing it by having a waiting list instead. As you say, you have to ask for a specific model and then you go on the list. As they get stock in, they will offer it to the person at the top of the list. It's not a preorder because they aren't taking money. I am 8th on the list for an EVGA FTW3, but the guy said that might be months away from actually being available. They apparently have no idea how many of each card they will be getting. So I guess instead of lining up in the morning I will just f5 and try to get lucky and get an FE instead.

Gonna finish work on Wednesday, beat off to some gamers nexus performance graphs and pass out early. In the morning we ride... to probably Micro Center because it seems like Best Buy might pre sell everything online. All I have left to do to get ready is Dremel one of my bays off the drive cage in my old 450D so I have clearance all the way to the front. Sure I could move the drive cage down to the bottom but then I wouldn’t have three 140mm intake fans. We didn’t come this far to make compromises.

Checked out of curiosity and my Fractal R6 is compatible with the 3090, although the width is closer than you might think. I wonder how it would perform pushed up against a case face in a vertical mount, GN's thermal analysis is going to be really interesting. Thinking about the width made me check and the width is also 27mm wider than the Quadro RTX 8000 blower. I also do wonder about thermal performance with multiple cards stacked next to each other with aligned coolers (swapping some of the fans/blades for contrarotation might help if a suitable replacement can be found, multiple fans spinning in the same direction are less effective). We all kinda jumped on that person for saying the FE cooler might be good for datacenter but tbh I forgot about the 4U "hump" style server, I wonder how it will do in those, stacked together with aligned coolers. The connector coming out of the card at a 45 degree angle might actually be fairly low profile in that you could bend some cables around a normal-sized cooler and maybe avoid the hump - but the 3090 is far too big for that (27mm bigger than the old reference blower), and I think the smaller cards don't have the 12-pin. I think you might be able to make it with a 3090 in a 5U server though? If there ever ends up being a 3070 Ti or 3080 Ti whatever with 16-20GB of VRAM and one of the smaller blow-through coolers, that might make an interesting cheapskate ML training box.

GTC is in a couple weeks so hopefully they’ll launch the Quadros and the Titan (?). I was originally just going to go for the 3090 but an unlocked, cooler G6 Titan version would be very interesting from a compute standpoint.

shrike82 posted:G6 Titan Do you think they'd drop to GDDR6 on workstation/datacenter cards for power reasons? G6X is supposed to be more efficient per bit, if you clocked it down and dropped the voltages it should be more efficient than using G6 with the same clocks. Or are you thinking about memory timings being different (like how G5X reduced performance on crypto for some coins - like 1070 Ti vs 1080)?

I've read rumors that while the 2GB (16 gbit) G6X modules are in the Micron catalog they're not actually in production yet so yeah if you want high-density modules I guess they'll have to be G6.

shrike82 posted:yes i'm guessing the 3090 equivalent is <300W. There still has to be more than just memory going on there to case the power gap. I forget which reviewer did the math and posited that the GDDR6X system should be about 25% more power hungry in absolute terms than GDDR6. GDDR6 uses ~2.5W/8Gb package from the minimal literature on actual power use I've been able to find. Even if we assume that 6X uses double the power, you're talking a difference of 25W vs 50W for the chips. That's...not a whole lot there.

I just hit the phone and called every location of Canada Computers that's open right now and everyone is saying first come first served. I must look like some kind of NVIDIA narc to these guys because I have no idea how the heck other people are getting on a waiting list or pre-pre order list but I'm not. The guy in Vaughan said that they were getting hammered with calls for this card and people will most likely be camping out for them.
