Lol they're an extreme minority my dude. If by "plenty" you mean "exists" then sure?

They’re as independent as any tiny country can be while being directly next to a giant ornery country who thinks it owns them.

That’s just the reality. Taiwan is one of my favorite places to visit and I have strong connections there so spare me the lecture.

You're ridiculously misinformed for someone with "strong connections", which seems to mean "I know a couple people from there".

My 3090 fe gets here tomorrow so it seems my watch has ended but I still like the thread.

I also plan to put it up for 2500 and see if anyone bites locally so im keeping my foot in the pool in case that occurs

I also want it tho so I won’t try too hard to sell it

definitely sell if you dont need the upgrade now and who really does. Its only worth the extra money now and you can just buy another later on, something like a strix model

you can still run it until its sold. Show off the fps and boost numbers as evidence that its not a defective one to the defective people who still believe in the cap drama

All of my new build arrived before my 3080fe so im going to do a 3900x build with a 7970, the only "spare" gpu i have. Blinged out RGB everywhere with an ancient plasticky blower card front and center. Should be a pretty interesting before and after performance comparison. Lets see how fine that wine is

I asked my CDW rep to look into the Evga XC3 SKUs in their system. He emailed me yesterday that they were working on getting them into the system and should have some news in the next day or two. Based on some posts today looks like that's happening maybe today? Once they are in the system he can usually give me some sort of estimate on when their expecting stock from distribution. If I hear anything I'll let you folks know.

Oh wow please do and thank you.

MSI has shady marketing practices so it would not shock me for 1 second they they would put a 3rd power plug on a card and then not use it.

I have hated MSI for years for personal hardware failure experiences and experiences from people I know. When steve put out his big MSI marketing takedown story it didn’t shock me at all.

EVGA and ASUS are much better names for mobos designed for overclocking.

I dont give a poo poo what a MSI product cant do.

I agree with you for the most part and I would never buy an MSI product under normal circumstances.

Having said that they had a lot to atone for with those X570 gaming carbon motherboards and when they released the new X570 Tomahawks they overbuilt the gently caress out of them for a very cheap price. I have a tomahawk in my system and I find it works just fine. My previous system was an Rog Maximus Formula IX and it had this intermittent problem where I’d get a black screen after it posts so windows refused to load. I had to hard reset every time I turned on the computer to make it run properly.

God help you if you need to use ASUS customer service. It sucks and they adhere strictly by the book to procedures which makes RMA a nightmare. Having said that my current 1070 is a Strix and it’s been excellent. I expect the same from the 3080. I got a direct replacement plan when I “bought” it so if there is any early batch fuckery I’ll just get a new card of equivalent value.

So weirdly the sketchy seller on Newegg has shipped my SF750, and it shows up as in the hands of Fedex, in Ontario CA, with a delivery date of Saturday--a full two days ahead of schedule.

I'm looking forward to benchmarking, revisiting games, and playing games that I'd put off because I wanted high refresh with RTX on or simply high res high refresh. Like Metro Exodus. I love Metro games but put it off because global illumination is goddamn sexy tech and I didn't want a Turing card. RDR2. Control. Can finally hopefully get locked 120+ fps at 1440p in Warzone without making it look like rear end.

Games are cool man.

Games are cool man.

This is exactly where I am.

I've spent the last year and a half building an entire room capable of 4K/120 and 5K2K ultrawide productivity/gaming, starting with a 65 inch LG C9 OLED, arranging a gaming side and a home office side to support using them both comfortably (especially the OLED as you need to be quite close to it for 4K to really be worth it). A 5K2K ultrawide for desktop use and an entire redone home office setup, which is only 60fps and mostly for work, but also to play keyboard and mouse games on. A Herman Miller Embody for that as well.

After that I built the audio: JBL Studio 580 floorstanding speakers for the OLED, Studio 530s for the desktop, Denon TrueHD lossless receiver, DAC, Amp, thunderbolt/DP1.4 hookups to support effortless switching between a MBP and my gaming-specific PC. A Shield Plex server that serves a huge library of full quality 4K remux Dolby TrueHD to the OLED on demand, not just in the new room but across the house so my wife and I can watch whatever, anywhere.

Too much money later, all that I need... the one piece I didn't have, but always planned for, was an HDMI 2.1 graphics card. So I waited. And waited. And it's finally here tomorrow, a 3090 FE.

It honestly feels kind of surreal. I've invested so much time, money and consideration into this setup. No expense was spared at any point. While it's not done (that won't occur until Zen 3 launches shortly) it's just wild that it's finally ready to play as intended.

Overclocking.

I cant wait to hook all 6 of my wifes PWM fans to the strix so it has full control of her entire case cooling.

Just gotta move 1 pin :getin:

That is a neat feature. I have 3 case fans as well and I was thinking of adding 3 below. I mean, there's fan control software that'll do it, but the hardware implementation is much cooler.

Can you control the curve when it's driven off the Strix, though?

My CDW ordered EVGA changed from BACKORDER to NOT YET SHIPPED.

That’s a thing maybe! Maybe not!!

You got lucky, mine is still sitting at backordered.

They must have had a known quantity, and any orders beyond that (I ordered mine a little over an hour after your post telling us they were showing them in stock) got stuck at backordered for real.

They did lower the cost on my order by about $40 for reasons I can't really explain, so even if it takes a little longer, it's only going to be a $110 markup instead of $150.

Yup I'm so ready to plug my 3080 into my LG C9 and forget the last couple months of anticipation and F5'ing. I'm upgrading from a drat PS4 so I have a bunch of games queued up to replay or finally try. MGSV just for kicks, Death Stranding to see DLSS and HDMI 2.1 bury me in frames, Metro Exodus and Control for raytracing, Bloodstained because it apparently runs like mud on every other platform, some indies that I've been putting off buying so I can play them at 4K. It's gonna be a fun few weeks after my GPU arrives.

Do you have a method to quickly switch from monitor to TV? I have 2 monitors and its a chore switching to the TV.

I downloaded NirCmd to make keyboard shortcuts with bat files but can't find a command to disable and enable specific displays.

They put spots on the board for your to solder poo poo, I'm confident I will be able annoy my wife with hours of fan graphs.

My case fans are all old 3 pins that hook up to old school knobs on the front. :(

Going to at least swap out the bottom fan with a an extra faster PWM 150mm noctua fan.

Maybe by some time in April when they release this fuckkin thing.

If you only need to use one at a time then an easy way is to leave your display settings on "Show only on 1" and then physically turn on / off the displays and it will switch nicely between the two.
