I am very particular about biscuits, I'll have you know.
Are there any 3080s with multiple hdmi 2.1 ports that support all those bells and whistles with multiple monitors?

All the Asus models come with two HDMI 2.1 ports.

Has anyone tested whether both ports can run with full bandwidth at the same time yet?

I haven't seen any info either way on this.

Which makes sense, since I doubt many people own two C9's, which AFAIK are right now the only HDMI 2.1 enabled displays available.

There are variety of TV models with HDMI 2.1 ports from different brands but regardless, you're likely not gonna find anyone owning more than one outside of a professional setting.

The few things I’ve read say that it goes away on its own after a bit of break in period.

We’ll see when my card comes I guess.

That's already >360W though. The room with my PC gets noticeably hotter while gaming now!
yeah i'm stuck at 100% on my vbios, hoping for a better one to appear soon

My 3090 FE has audible coil while with the stock 350W power limit of your somewhat near my case (NR200). It’s very audible at 400W but undervolted to 800 mV / ~280W to 300W you’d have to be next to the card to hear it. This will of course very card to card but I’m very happy, coil whine really annoys me.

I'm pretty sure I already know the answer is "no," but is there any reason to consider updating my GPU's BIOS if a newer version is out there? Card is working fine and I can't find a changelog anywhere for the newer BIOS.

It would be funny if AMD bought Xilinx (in part) to get their TSMC capacity reservation.

The answer to updating a card's VBIOS is only do it if 1) your card has switchable BIOS chips, and/or 2) it's fixing an RMA-level issue.

another interesting advantage is that since FPGAs sell for $$$$ you can therefore justify extreme bleeding edge process use.

Assuming Su can handle integration right, it could mean that AMD gets their initial development for new processes paid by Uncle Sam

Ill do step up, and maybe get a card by next xmas so who knows!

okay i pushed my card as far as i can with the current vbios:
https://www.3dmark.com/pr/388753

that's +130/+2350 and stable in PR most of the time, +115 is stable all the time in PR, 100 is all the time in every game tested so far, memory is at the limit and stable everywhere

i was bouncing against the 360W wall according to gpu-z, i was hitting a 350 wall before but seem to have squeezed a bit more power out of it somehow

e: when i say memory is at the limit i mean if i push to +2400 i'll hit crashes then. 21352 according to gigabyte's tool, gpu-z reads it as 10676 ofc

GPU usage remains far below 100%. I don't think it necessarily scales like that.

EVGA cards are going for a premium at the moment simply because people don't care how much they overpay for them so long as the price is under the MSRP for a 3080 FTW3 Ultra.

The cheapest option on PCPP at the moment is this: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/88drxr/evga-geforce-rtx-2070-super-8-gb-black-gaming-video-card-08g-p4-3071-kr

Amusingly and maddeningly enough, EVGA 2060S cards are *more expensive*.

The memory has error detection and retransmission since GDDR5. You can clock it high enough that it encounters corruption on the bus but it will automatically retransmit. It will run degraded rather than crashing (to a certain extent).

Do your scores reliably get an uplift at +1300 vs. lower clocks?

So I guess the 7NM TSMC process is how nvidia gives you a 3080ti. I won’t cancel my preorder but I’ll feel pretty dumb if nvidia comes out with a faster, cooler and more plentiful 3080ti in 6 months.

The serial number on the card begins with "2014." Makes you wonder if they've really been sitting on these since April.

Anyone who wants a Strix card should be turning your bots and F5 keys on newegg. They’re periodically going on sale at random. Like 2:37 AM EST last night. They drop between 5-7 at a time.

Micro Centers have them too but you gotta go to the store and hope it’s in stock at the time. Feels like every country is getting Strix cards except Canada. Even Aussies are getting theirs.

All I want are PCIe cables for my Corsair PSU that aren’t several plugs on one cable.
