There maybe a bug in the system somewhere. The card is factory set to the overclocked bios and in MSI afterburner i'm unable to move the slider past 100%. I've rebooted after installing drivers and also uninstalled afterburner and re-installed. But it's still the same.
Some cards are indeed like that, JayZ said in recent vid it's not important though as far as general OCing goes vs a different card with higher limit.
Well some good news on the clock speed. I was gaming for 20 minutes in Assassins Creed Odyssey highest temps was 63 degrees and that's with Afterburner set to +10 on temp levels and it never went below 2070 on the core. That's with default speeds, no overclocking.
In better news got the EVGA FTW3 Ultra tonight. In the grand scheme of things the red border thing isn't that obnoxious. The RGB on the board is ridiculous in a good way. Looks amazing. Tested it out with Flight Simulator 2020. Whoa damn. Like the Aorus the other guy posted above, 24 pins (8x3). I used 3 individual modular cables to feed it rather than use one cable for two plugs. Figured cleaner power who knows.
Exactly. If your supply cannot meet demand, you have a supply issue. What even is a demand issue? Or to put it in other words: NVIDIA's Chief Executive Officer says people wanting to buy their products is the issue. Let that sink in for a minute. Anyhow as this is the owner's thread I'll let myself out now. Enjoy your cards who got them (and this was a sincere wish, not sarcasm)!
that "red border thing" is supposed to be exchangeable with different colors eventually, all purchasable on evga's store soonishly.
These gigabyte cards have to be the worst looking cards ive ever seen. "Here's a 4 slot brick for your system, just to ensure you can't install anything else on your PC"
AT SCAN Computers I'm at 81st for mine, a group of people had to pressure them to disclose queue positions https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/j5jn22/rant_scan_is_really_taking_the_p_rtx_3080_queue/
So I just watched this guy's video. I think he makes a decent point if you already own an RTX 2080 Ti if you're not going 4K then it's a questionable consideration. However, if you're someone upgrading from something older (like me a GTX 1070) and you look at the cost of a 2080 Ti vs cost of a 3080 it's a no brainer. Cheaper and faster. It's a win for the 3080.
I didn't realized I had this small PC case, so I needed to drill a huge hole in front of the case to get EAGLE OC in
If anyone is going for the MSI Ventus, make sure you have good airflow in your case. Seening alot of people reporting at or above 80c with this card, while mine is sitting at 69-71c at max load with stock fan curve with a slight overclock of 30+ on core and 400+ memory. My case is Fractal Design XL R2 Also be aware that the Nvidia GFE overlay is hampering the performance. Was getting 1000+ more points in timespy and around 10-20 more fps in certain games with the overlay shut off. Hopefully this is fixed in a newer release of GFE because the new performance monitor overlay is nice.
Got an Asus TUF OC 3080 since a few days. Great card, but two questions : * it seems temps never go above 70°C-71°C, does this mean the card throttles down when it gets this 'hot'? (quiet bios) * pc is very stable, unless I enable DLSS with Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Known bug? I have the latest drivers installed.
mine goes up to 76 on game mode. I don't believe it throttles but it might regulate the boost clock lightly so you don't see more than that. as far as tomb raider, i used dlss at 1440p and it seems to work fine for the benchmarks at least. maybe i'll get into it later but it does not crash or anything thus far.
