600W is probably enough to get the job done if you're running at stock speeds.

Igor broke out the heat camera and some secret Nvidia dev tool. In the forum he alluded that some random KFA² card he just tested hits ~20°C less.

He says it's because the VRMs are that close to the memory module and the heatsink not dealing well with it. So I wonder, does the FE run all power phases? Because the TUF has one more phase for memory than the other AIBs, and if the load is spread across more phases, individual loads are lower and thus create less waste heat (with what being exponential to load). In turn, what does that mean for the AIBs that skimped on phases? The others appear to have left out a phase for each memory and the GPU, versus the TUF (and the FE?).

EVGA released a firmware update for the XC3 model to allow quieter fan operation: https://forums.evga.com/EVGA-3080-XC3XC3-Ultra-Quiet-Fan-Firmware-Update-m3084561.aspx Posting this mainly because I'm surprised GPUs apparently have firmwares? Am I just way out of the loop with this or do only certain manufacturers do this?

Oh, you could flash 5200fxs to 5500fx, except if you had one of the passively cooled ones (which I think were the majority of 5200’s) odds are you’d cook the card in a hurry.

Durzel posted:It sounds like you’re talking about a “Dutch auction”. I think I'm actually thinking of the sealed-price or blind auction. Because the buyer has no information on what other buyers are doing, there is limited strategy. A Dutch Auction, while similar in the notion that you don't really know what other bidders' preferences are, you can still choose to play chicken to try and get a price below your value of the lot. Because in a sealed price single shot you only get one bid, you need to bid your true value in price because you can't even fudge an assessment of the values of others (no reference point). You can "try" and bid over your personal value, but this idea is paradoxical: you can't actually offer to pay more than you value the object, because your willingness to pay is your value of the object. I'd say the biggest flaw would be that the rules don't account for resellers as a "second chance." If the lot is won, then relisted, and someone bids higher than the original winning bid, the auction failed to solicit the true value of the participants. At that point, you've lost the advantages of the blind action and it is functionally an English auction.

Jayztwocents has a new video where he discusses cook groups and the 3080. He spends the first 2 minutes talking about how he's a capitalist and loves capitalism and free markets, then goes on to make an awful "No true Scotsman" argument about scalpers and cook groups.These tech influencers are so painfully out of their element when they attempt to discuss politics or stray from discussing hardware and benchmarks.

Jay definitely gives off a chuddy blowhard vibe. He probably pays his assistant like $12 an hour with no medical. Speaking of which, that shtick where he has his assistant court jester laugh all the time is insufferable. When they're on the screen together you get the insanely uncomfortable impression that he's contractually obligated to laugh like that.

If they had announced preorders immediately at the end of the announcement with no chance for bots to set something up it would have been far smoother.

Good news - I don't feel bad about waiting a few months anymore now if they're just going to release a 20GB variant. I find it a bit absurd that I would buy a card with 1 GB less VRAM than my 1080Ti 3 years later.

Someone explained it as a pre order is carried Debt for unsecured inventory and a lot of companies don't like to do that because of potential supply chain issues. Apple can do it because they control everything start to finish. In theory Nvidia could do it but they won't AIB's won't do it because the retailers would have a fit.

Although as many have already discussed, this is only a result of the refusal of Nvidia to launch with sufficient stock so that a 700 dollar MSRP for the GPU would be relatively close to the equilibrium or their refusal to engage in price discrimination to deal with the shortage in stock of the GPUs being launched at that price point.
