EVGA extended warranties are not transferrable. They're a "run this poo poo into the ground" buy.

Shear Modulus posted:i bought the 10 year warranty because it was ridiculously cheap since its cost was based on the cheap garbage card i bought expressly for the purpose of mailing it back to them for the step-up purchase. I tend to replace my cards every generation, but with COVID I have suspicions that this 3080Ti might serve me longer than typical. I have another 2.5 months to make up my mind if I want to extend the warranty or not.

Combat Pretzel posted:BlueScreenView lists and gives basic info about the mini-/memory dumps Windows retains, if it managed to make one. Finally got a chance to check out the mini dump and it looks like it was SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION, not MEMORY_MANAGEMENT. Still, figured I'd peruse the guru3d thread to see what the hubbub was about. quote:The new driver is agressively milking performance out of systems and systems with any sort of weakness are being caught out, progress be like that sometimes. Your system is weak, Combat Pretzel. WEAK Nvidia's newest drivers clearly are a free performance increase for everyone else, unlocking the full power of their hardware, but your weak, putrid system is rendered unstable, despite the company's benevolence.

I need some advice for my current situation I built a new computer a few months back with a 5800x, 64gb & 3060 Ti. Like everyone, I really, really wanted a 3080 but couldn't snag one. I did the EVGA step up and selected the 3080 Ti after seeing how long the 3080 queue line was (over a year) and just assumed I wouldn't hear back. The other day I got notification that the queue popped for another card, a 3070 Ti. I immediately bought it because, if I couldn't get a 3080, why not pay as much as one for less performance. Then that night, the step-ups queue email came and try told me I could pay a thousand to upgrade my 3060 Ti to a 3080 Ti. Paralysis set in. I can afford it, but I don't know if I want to. I know I could sell the 70 Ti for significantly more than I paid, but I don't know if I want to be that kind of rear end in a top hat. I have the capacity in my case (q704) to handle the 80 Ti and an 850w PSU. There's the lingering feeling that the chip shortage isn't going away any time soon and, even if the Super's come out early next year, I won't get one, or another card in the future, for quite a while so I should upgrade now. So, give me some advice. Keep the 70 Ti and sell the 60 Ti. Keep the 70 Ti, upgrade the 60 Ti to the 80 Ti, sell th 80 Ti Upgrade to the 80 Ti, sell the 70 Ti.

At this point you may as well go big and recoup some of the cost selling off the 3070ti

Under ordinary circumstances, I'd never advise anyone buy a 3080 Ti. The only reason people are doing so now is because the price gap between them and the 3080 has partially closed, and sometimes the Ti is the only choice you're given. That said, if you have both a 3070 Ti and a 3060 Ti in your hands already, the 3080 Ti will basically be a "free" upgrade. You'll get, what, $500 of trade-in value for your 3060 Ti when stepping up, plus however much you can sell the 3070 Ti for ($1000?) which offsets the cost of the 3080 Ti. That's gotta be worth it, especially if your goal is high refresh 1440p.

PittTheElder posted:I'm not an expert by any means but that idle temp of >60 degrees seem crazy high. Maybe by EVGA 1080 just is different, but it usually idles at like 35-40 degrees. What does your idle CPU temp look like? Are your case fans exhausting properly? Yeah, my 5700XT also idles around 56-59 C sometimes, but that's when the GPU fans are inactive. It definitely should not do so with GPU fan speed around 2000 RPM. Shipon posted:are they bringing back the wood screws too I forgot about that. It was a hilarious time

I fully did not expect to get a 3080 at launch but I clicked the link in the email when they sent it and was able to get the order to go through. I think people forget that no one could buy new cards a couple months before Crypto even exploded and I sold my 1080TI for as much as I paid for it the week after I got the 3080.

Ok Comboomer posted:You paid with time and effort, so don’t feel too bad about covering your 3080Ti retail costs with a 3070Ti flip Absolutely! Your time and diligence is valuable, and the only muttering I’ve seen is about blatant scalping. Nobody is gonna give you poo poo here about both lucking into a better card or selling the slightly older one along with a reasonable amount for a finder’s fee. Not only is it financially prudent, but some other person getting access to a scarce resource is pretty chill! And if you wanted to be greedy, sell it on eBay for lots of cash and just, ah, don’t tell us you scalped it! I’m not a posting superstar, but no one is going to search eBay for a username from SA and try to call you names. I am a horrible rambling poster and talk too much about my life, but even I don’t feel it necessary to volunteer all of what should be private info! My private info is open, I have no filter at all. But you’ll never find info from me about my ex’s address or my son’s job for example. I just admit I enjoy reading here when goons help other goons with GPU sources or a new cigar or whatever and it happens all the freakin’ time. It’s nice to read.

Unlike the base warranty, it's not transferrable. Are you going to heavily use the GPU for 5+ years? If so, it may be worth it.Shipon posted:GTA 4 still runs like garbage on PC even on high end hardware. GTA 4 has at least two problems : a severe single thread bottleneck with timing issues (much like Oblivion), and some issues that cause exponential render load scaling with linear pixel count scaling. If you run it at 1080p, it will run OK, but never as well as GTA V. There are mods to make it run better at high resolutions by capping some of the insane scaling.

seems like a prime candidate for DLAA really, the remaster is on unreal engine so presumably it uses TAA that can be improved on the upscaling part of DLSS seems totally unnecessary
