if nvidia fixes their store to take more pings then we can ping even harder. Its a never ending cycle of incompetence

I got this feeling that I’m gonna get my card tomorrow. There’s something in the air. If I’m wrong I’m gonna be a laughing stock on this thread. I hope I’m right. Enough time has passed that if my retailer truly had an active purchase order with Asus I should have my card tomorrow.

Those (generally) aren't hitting the site's bandwidth, but they sure as gently caress are hitting yours. Someone should update the script to support ABP and bring that data use waaaay down.

No, everyone that runs it downloading GBs of data just to refresh a store page is the issue. The stores should be able to handle lots of traffic to their static resources just fine (shame on them if they don't).

Just go load the store you're interested in with Dev Tools open, look in the Network requests, find the one that has stock information whether it's an XHR to an API or whether it's the search page HTML or whatever, right click 'copy as cURL' and you're 90% of the way to engineering your own lightweight stock checker.

Death Stranding is having zero issues with 1440p, DLSS, HDR and highest settings on my 65” 120hz tv. It’s legit one of the prettiest things I’ve ever seen on a screen.

^^^^ I bet stores with physical stock on location don't even go to the floor room. Employees must snatch them for themselves (or scalping).Rolo posted:Death Stranding is having zero issues with 1440p, DLSS, HDR and highest settings on my 65” 120hz tv. I played it last summer on my 65" TV but in 1080p (so pretty much maxed) via Steam Remote play and it was still fun and pretty. I can't imagine how it must be on your setup knowing people praised its DLSS options. You move your computer to the living room or you have both your computer setup close and the TV close together in the first place? I'm close enough that a 25ft HDMI was fine but I have to make the TV as main screen otherwise performances suck rear end (known Windows issues for years) but it stinks having to setup everything when I want to do it. I still game on my PC with mouse/keyboard for everything that isn't something I would play on console but for these occasional titles, I wish I had a better setup for the TV. I think I'll abandon the idea, found out my TV can only go at 30hz for 4k so that sucks. I didn't think about doing that when I bought it so a high refresh rate for 4k wasn't something I was looking for. I won't have a 3080 until 2025 so there's also that!

Heard the loudest buzzer on the planet go off, realized it was that Twitch notifications page posted a few pages back. Couldn't figure out where the gently caress it was in my 800 tabs. Finally found it saying Zotac.com was selling them. Of course, it's actually impossible to buy anything on Zotac.com, you have to specifically know to go to store.zotac.com which took me a minute to figure out. Guess I missed out on the Trinity non-OC 3080, which is the one I need really badly because Amazon said if I can buy that from anywhere and return it to them they'll refund me back for the overpriced Zotac that they refuse to price match and I already sold lol

My desk is next to my TV, it just happens to work well with how my apartment is laid out. I also found that I don’t have issues keeping my monitor as the primary as long as I keep my TV at 1440p (same as the monitor) unless otherwise commanded by a game. It just seems to like that setup and will otherwise limit my max refresh to 60 or turn off HDR randomly. Also I’m finding I like gaming at 1440p120 more than 4k60 anyways so I’m not really even letting games crank it up anymore. Also most modern games let you set a display monitor, which is nice.

Warmachine posted:it only started happening after I installed the 3080, ruling out the motherboard VRM and power supply. Personal experience: I had 970s that whined with one power supply but were silent with another. It's the unlucky PSU + card combination that does it, so swapping the PSU is definitely an option.

Got my FE 3080 RMA back a day earlier than expected. Glad I did the RMA ultimately. I turned off my undervolt and custom curve and the had none of the fan issues I had before. The card did get hotter (It got to 80c during Time Spy) but after my undervolt it hasn't eclipsed 69c. Been playing Control for 4+ hours tonight and it's been smooth AF.

I don't even remember if i posted in this thread or not but ive been following it since a month before the 3000 series came out. i got lucky last night being there when the dell site went up for the trios even if buying it was incredibly difficult because i was absolutely blitzed. so long gpu megathread, aslong as the bestbuy orders go through this is a happy goodbye to an absolute crumfuckstable of a launch.

Nah the walking glitch was not something that affected everyone. You still have to force AF on in the control panel, which is curious to say the least, but the port's major performance problems and crashes have been fixed.

Currys/PC World have started pricing things reasonably I've noticed in the last year or so. I think they can still be a bit random on more obscure items but I remember when there used to be a laughable plebtax on RAM/GPU's. This is what I really came into the thread to post, however: Would a card like the MSI 3080 Trio fit, vertically mounted, into a Cooler Master NR200P if I use an AIO on the CPU? I don't plan to buy just yet, but I might start prepping for it now. I might even shift my 1660 Super Gaming X into the NR200 and buy a SFX PSU before I snag a 3080. ThanX

Their entire business for that is online, the only time they’re sent to stores is if a customer selects in store pickup. So if they’re being nabbed by staff it’s at the warehouse level which seems less likely. Source: literally enquired about graphics cards in store just before launch.

VorpalFish posted:I mean in nvidias defense it kind of is a demand issue in the sense that between covid and the relatively good value proposition of the new cards, demand for these cards is probably higher than has been seen before for a launch gpu, to the point where they probably couldn't conceivably produce enough to supply it all at once without holding off launching for like 6 months to a year. Take the entire shaker of salt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmbvUK93npo But if this bears true, it's absolutely an artificially created supply issue. I refuse to believe nVidia didn't anticipate massive demand given the global situation and their very attractive pricing for these cards.
