If anyone is looking to replace the lovely Nvidia 12 pin adaptor and didn’t trust the one from Moddiy, CableMod has finally put their 12-pin > 2 8-pin modular cables up in their configurator under Custom PSU cables.

I'd die of happiness if consoles force multi-GPU to be a thing again. Could make sense for backwards compatibility, having unoptimised games just run on the one GPU that they share with the lower model. The 3090 nvlink results show that if it's actually coded for it's really excellent at this level of bandwidth, but that hinges on putting loads of effort in the first place hence why it's only in 11 games. It's not gonna happen, but I'm enjoying the thought as the resident SLI idiot

ASAPRockySituation posted:There has to be a better system than this for rolling out limited inventory, one that isn’t vulnerable to bots so normal people can get cards. It seems like the simple solution is vendors selling cards at market rates. As long as demand outstrips supply so much without price compensation, there will be shortages and arbitrage of some kind.

I'm fine with playing precious Cyberpunk on medium settings until I can get a card, I had a decent shot at getting a 3060/3070 but I think i'm being stubborn and just want the 3080 and am holding out. I had a 3090 in my Amazon cart but at 1628$ after tax I just couldn't bring myself to hit the checkout button.

How likely are Amazon to cancel orders at this point? My order that I placed last night is showing ‘Order received, we’ll email you when we have an estimated delivery date”. The page originally had a delivery date ranging from late December to early January, but it had disappeared by the time I was doing the final steps of my order after a couple page refreshes. From what I’ve gathered it seems like most of the fulfilled orders in the US are coming from Best Buy and Newegg.

Whiskey A Go Go! posted:Yikes. Should I be using 2 vga cables on my 1080ti? Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think it's only now a concern because of the 320 TDP for most of the 30XX line. You get about 75w from the board and ~275w per PSU cable, so there are presumably situations where the wattage could spike beyond the max power draw you'd get from just one PCI-E connector. The 1080ti and 20XX line topped out at 250W, which is more than enough for a single cable to cover.

The only Amazon orders that got canceled were the "mistake" pre-orders that popped up for a few minutes a week or two before release--and even some of those got filled. If you've got an order from Amazon and fulfilled by Amazon you will get the card. They're normally pretty good about estimated shipping dates, too, but those might be a bit less reliable than normal given the current situation. If it's fulfilled by some 3rd party, who knows.

Whiskey A Go Go! posted:Yikes. Should I be using 2 vga cables on my 1080ti? If your PSU has them, use them. Even if a single cable isn't heating up enough to melt the plastic, it is giving off extra waste heat across the cable and through the conductors due to resistance. Spreading the amps across more copper will always save you some watt loss over the wires.

A 1080Ti has a TDP of 250W, so you should be using dual-cables for it. It could work off a single high-quality cable, but you're technically exceeding its spec.

Seems like there will be a lag time but I don't know quite how advanced some of these people are with their minute by minute market analysis. The supply of cards is totally hidden so if the dam bursts and say a bunch of 3060ti come out I think it'll temporarily raise pressure on the 3080.

Sweet - this is sold and shipped by Amazon proper, so now time to just play the waiting game for a few weeks. I really preferred to avoid Newegg if possible for better customer service in case something goes sideways.

twxabfn posted:Tried installing the 3060 Ti tonight and the driver won’t install fully. It gets about 1/6 of the way through, goes black for a second, then jumps straight to saying it completed, then keeps intermittently going black for a second and popping up a Windows alert that says “Force to reinstall graphics driver” and clicking that does nothing. Update on this: I was able to get the card working! It turns out that these cards don't much like it when the PCIe slot is set to (or has the possibility to be) Gen4. I have a Gigabyte Aorus Pro B450 mobo, and it had a BIOS on it from July 2019. When I went into the BIOS to attempt to set the slot to Gen3, I noticed that there were options for Gen1-4, and I had previously had it set to Auto. I updated the BIOS to the latest version, and when I went back in to set the slot after the update, I noticed that there wasn't even a Gen4 option any more (I set it to Gen3 anyway just in case). Booted into safe mode, DDU'ed, swapped the 3060 Ti in, installed drivers, and bam, it's all good now. Time Spy graphics score went from 5969 with the 1070 to 12345 with the 3060 Ti. Woohoo!!! twxabfn fucked around with this message at 18:35 on Dec 3, 2020 |

It's not the card. It's the mobo. B450 doesn't actually support PCI-E 4.0, even though there were some BIOS revisions that supported it. It would work fine in a real PCI-E 4.0 slot.

Yeah, you're right. It was the mismatch between the BIOS and what the mobo actually supports - just wanted to put that out there in case anybody else runs into the same issue.

Why on earth they would manufacture a cable which supports 300W and the end result is melted connectors? What a piece of poo poo psu design. If the connection can take only 150W without melting then they should provide ony 1x8pin cables.
