I was seriously considering a 3080, but I already have a 2080ti, and it seems like AMD might be coming out with something that meets or beats the 3000 series cards. Would be nice to put together an all AMD system once again. I do wonder if AMD will be able to patch Nvidia, given their poor performance in the past.

Most of the major TechTubers have their reviews up now, they all pretty much say the same thing, AMD spanked Intel hard this round. As much as I want one right now I may wait a bit until Q1 and see if prices drop a hair. Plus, I already dropped a nice chunk of change on my daughter's new gaming PC for Christmas so I need to let my credit card cool down a bit. :P I'm tempted to swap out her 3600XT for a 5600X however-. Had to buy the 3600 as I didn't know what stock and supply were going to be like and I couldn't hedge my bets. DrDork posted:Yeah, they're legit one of the last places I can walk in and go "I need a thingermabob" and have a decent chance of finding it. Sure, it'll be $2 more than ordering it on Amazon, but I get it in my hand today, and I can see stuff like wiring colors and whatever else. They're a good store. This exactly. Can't tell you how many times I needed a thingermabob but _didn't_ have the time to wait for Amazon (something broke, needs a replacement asap, etc) and then got what I needed from Microcenter. Love this place, it's like computer Disney World (if Disney was contained to the size of a store and a parking lot).

I have a 3090 hooked up to a ultrawide monitor running at 3440 x 1440 160 Hz. I tried plugging in my LG CX TV using the HDMI 2.1 port at 4K 120 Hz but it only works when I turn off my main monitor. If I leave the monitor on, the TV shows the HMDI port as having no input. Is this a bandwidth issue or something? Anyone else in a similar boat that has been able to use both at the same time?

Unless your daughter plays a lot of Civ6, the 5600X isn't enough of an upgrade vs a 3600XT to make it worth considering. You're talking like 10% in most cases, so she's not missing out on much unless she also likes to stream and compress videos while gaming, in which case I'd have other questions.

Unless there is an issue with the outputs on the card. If you do auto detect does it show both monitors? Does the Nvidia control panel detect it when the power is on? Could potentially also be the input selected on the monitor?

If I somehow manage to get a 3080 in the week, would anyone still have a Watch Dogs code they might want to trade for Cold War? I don’t care about CoD but would enjoy farting around my home city on a drone.

i got my evga notification email just now but there is no unique buy link. It took me to the normal out of stock store page. Anyone else get this? https://www.evga.com/community/myNotifies.asp was showing one of the notifies as yes, but its back to no so it was nothing.

Yea, just gaming, nothing else. Also, I realized I should have posted it in the AMD thread. That's what I get for checking both threads at the same time. I might consider picking up the 6800xt for myself, but I have a Gsync monitor (Dell S2716DG, 1440p, few years old), so I'm pretty sure the Gsync is not compatible with AMD cards. I'm contemplating losing GSync in the short term and buying something that does both Freesync and Gsync sometime next year (my second monitor is my old 1080p) . But that depends if I can even buy the 6800 when it comes in stock in a couple weeks. If I manage to score a 3080 in the coming weeks then it's all moot.

My 980 had problems with DP, but worked fine via HDMI. My 1080ti has never given me a glitch at all with the same monitor (still use it) via DP.

A local retailer have a shitload(150+) 3070s in stock today. Two models being the MSI Ventus 3x and EVGA XC3 Black(black clownlips). The former looks to have a way beefy cooling solution(probably not needed for a 3070) and the EVGA is more expensive and doesn't have a backplate. They also have more expensive cards, including an ugly rear end PNY. The 3070 doesn't seem too hard to get a hold of over here anyway.

EVGA had a notify me option on their cards since launch which obviously wasn't doing poo poo because they were insta-selling. They went ahead and turned this into their proper order queue and they're going down the line (based on sign up time) and send you a link in which you can order the card you wanted. The link is only live for 8 hours then it moves on to the next person You can see what cards you've signed up to be notified for here

I thought you could use DLSS for superscaling even at lower resolutions (I'm at 1080p trying to play Control, so I wanted to try to DLSS from 1080 to 1440 then downsize to my real res). Is that only an option in some games or is there some other way to do it?

It'll render at 720p (or somewhere around that resolution), and scale it to 1080p from there in your case.

Turn on DSR in NVIDIA control panel with the multiplier for the intended target resolution, ie 4x for 3840x2160, 1.78x ish for 2560x1440. Then set the game to the DSR resolution and turn on DLSS. Then you'll get DLSS upscaling and supersampling.

The link is only live for 8 hours then it moves on to the next person There are two ways we know to get a 3080. The first is registering at EVGA's website and signing up for an auto-notify which puts you into a queue. When your turn comes up, you have 8 hours to buy or it moves on to the next person. I think most of the people getting emails signed up in September, though, so glhf with that. The other way is to get a qualifying EVGA card and register for the Step Up program as soon as you buy. You have to pay the difference in price between the card you buy and the 3080 you select, but when your turn comes up you mail them the old card and then they mail you a 3080. I think the card has to come with a 3-year warranty to be eligible, so be sure to check that. Other than that you are just  ing with the masses or hoping to get lucky with a discord bot.

I created an EVGA account and selected to notify on all of the 3080 cards so I guess we’ll see I figured i was probably going to have to wait 2 months to find one anyway

Im trying to decide if being forced to wait for the 3080 strix means I should keep waiting to get Ti cards. 10gigs feels bad coming from 8gigs 1070s They might overclock more too. Or the get 3070 strix that steve says overclocked well because 3070s are easier to find then 3080s. I can upgrade them if ram is an issue down the road and have it hurt less. But I always end up with “70” cards because it “makes sense.” This was gona be the year!

People were expecting a Turing die shrink to TSMC 7nm for 2 years. It never happened. I wouldn't count on Ti/Supers to be imminent.

repiv posted:If we believe kopite7 then the 3080ti is still on 8nm, they specifically said it's another GA102 SKU Yeah, it would be utterly insane for NVidia to have a consumer Ampere TSMC part out in the next 2-3 months, as that would have implied they did all the work for Samsung Ampere, and were also simultaneously doing the work for TSMC consumer Ampere, and just decided to shoot TSMC off 3-4 months after going with Samsung, knowing that they were going to infuriate everyone who bought their Samsung cards. It just ain't happening. Whatever we'll get from NVidia for the next ~6 months will be from Samsung in greater or lesser configurations. TSMC we might see next year for the usual mid-cycle refreshes. Maybe they'll try to pull them left a few months if they need them to better compete with the Radeon 6000's, but anyone expecting them to pull them far enough left to make them a viable "just wait for it" option is kidding themselves, unless waiting a year is "viable."

Make sure to turn off the DSR blur, it ruins things and I don't understand why it's so high by default. Make sure to have the DLSS mode set so that the base resolution is at or greater than your monitor resolution. Eg DLSS quality is 1/2 res, so you want >2x your native resolution in DSR. I'd try 4x DSR with DLSS set to quality, zero DSR blur.

I ran userbenchmark on my XC3 Ultra 3080 and it says I'm in the 18th percentile. The info included there is CLim: 2100 MHz, MLim: 4750 MHz, Ram: 10GB, Driver: 457.09 I ran a Heaven benchmark before and after installing it with my 3600 and 1070 card. Went from a score of 1378 to 3050. Am I missing something?

If you do want one of those last two skus, your odds today were about as good as getting ampere on release day. A few people got some on the discord (I had stepped out for 2 minutes to get a drink, of course) and that was basically it.

Their memory speed is 19Gb, stock. MLim * 4. Everyone displays the drat memory clock differently. Each clock can move 4 (quad data rate / QDR) * 2 (PAM4) * 2 (dual channel) transfers, so the same base clock may be 1187.5MHz * 16 for 19Gbit GDDR6X, but sometimes displayed as * 8 = 9500MHz, like MSI Afterburner does, which I'm guessing is some sort of "effective clock" (so read Gigabits for Gigahertz and you've got the transfer speed) but it doesn't know about GDDR6X's PAM4. GDDR5X had QDR but not dual-channel to the same chip and not PAM4 signalling, so it would be * 4, so if UserBenchmark is assuming GDDR5X memory running at a base clock of 1187.5MHz (stock) has an effective clock of 4750MHz.

Thanks, that worked well. Significantly sharper than native resolution or DLSS set to quality upscaled to native resolution, at about a 15% hit compared to native rendering.
