    I Bought a RTX 3080 Today!

    I haven't looked into temps for the other cards, but 75C under load seems to be pretty common for the EVGA XC3 Ultra. Mine hasn't really gone past that though, at least in initial benchmarks.

    Haha yeah, had to consecrate it with some EVGA holy water of course.

    I Bought a RTX 3080 Today!

    Finally arrived... will test it out tonight. I'm going to try it without the firmware update first just out of curiosity to see if I get the fan whine.

    I Bought a RTX 3080 Today!

    Hah wow, I'd say so. Nice improvement. This will definitely blow my 980ti out of the water. (Well anything will, as it's dead lol) Good news on the whine front - if anyone runs into the noisy third fan, EVGA released a firmware fix already here...

    I Bought a RTX 3080 Today!

    Have a chance to test out your card yet? I saw a few threads popping up on the EVGA forums about the third fan (by power connectors) having a bit of a whine. Have you experienced anything like that? Just curious if it's a vocal few or more widespread. Haven't received mine to try out yet.

    It'd be the world's first strand type notification.

    I Bought a RTX 3080 Today!

    Glad to see it arrived! Mine finally moved on from Kentucky after sitting for 12 hours. Maybe there's hope for getting it tomorrow instead (unless they use bicycle courier the rest of the way) 😁

    I Bought a RTX 3080 Today!

    Have you received yours yet? Same exact scenario here including the shipping - but my card arrived at Louisville at 1am last night and stopped moving. They've now updated it to Monday for the estimate with no delay reason given. So much for next day air...

    I Bought a RTX 3080 Today!

    I was incredibly lucky and managed to get one from EVGA directly. I had a few browser windows open and ready at 9am EST, in order of preferred card and retailer options. Got an XC3 Black in to my cart on Best Buy, but then checkout wouldn't let me select delivery to my address, and all the...

    Black screen flash?

    Following up here in case anyone stumbles on this thread later -- it was the included DisplayPort cable. I ended up switching it out with one from the DP certified list and I've not had a problem since. Here's what I ended up using: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003E2U8EE

    Closing the loop on this... the new cable fixed the issue. Haven't had any troubles since switching it in to replace the one from the box. I ended up using this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003E2U8EE

    Official Acer [XB270HU] 27" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync IPS ULMB Monitor Thread

    So it looks like your mileage may vary with the included DisplayPort cable the monitor comes with. The cable is a 6ft BizLink e164571-ks, and it looks like that may be the same cable that has come with other monitors like the ASUS PB278Q - and I've seen mixed reports of successes and failures...

    Black screen flash?

    So, the black flashing has still continued, and this time after a flash, I was left with a screen like this: http://i.imgur.com/Y85LFjG.jpg?1 Turning the monitor on/off didn't work, and I noticed the OSD looked fine when up. So, I tried dropping the refresh from 144 to 120 in the NVIDIA control...

    Black screen flash?

    Not using any of the ports unfortunately. Just power and DisplayPort.

    Black screen flash?

    Just grabbed a tool and I'll check. Everything looks good now but I'll see if it spikes when any flashes occur. What is considered acceptable latency? I actually just had 3 in a row right after turning on my computer just now. It seems like it is getting worse. Are you using the included DP...
