    Any happy 4080 owners here?

    The 4080 FE is great. I bought one thinking I would never get a 4090, but if I did get a chance before the return period for the 4080 expired then I would return it and buy the 4090. My return period expired on 1/14 and I found a 4090 on 1/13. It arrives (hopefully) on Thursday.

    Not sure if you ever got a 4090, but they are available at MSRP at the Gigabyte store right now.

    Mine is arriving Thursday according to FedEx. The Gaming OC and Aorus models are in stock right now.

    Tips on actually getting a 4090?

    There are Zotac models in stock at a few MicroCenters. I checked Chicago and Cleveland (I think Mayfield Heights) and they have them. There may be other ones that have them as well. Hopefully ones close to you.

    Tips on actually getting a 4090?

    I just ordered one from the Gigabyte Store for MSRP and free shipping. They charged my CC and I got a confirmation email. They do not ship to every state though.

    Why is Microcenter scalping people.

    I hear ya. My lease is up next year and while I love the vehicle I am not sure how reliable it is long term as they have only been for sale in the states for about four years. However, with car prices being what they are, I may just buy it.

    PG32UQX - ASUS 32" 4K 144 Hz HDR1400 G-Sync Ultimate

    I only use my CX48 for gaming and it is fantastic. Would never use it if I needed to get work done for longer than an occasional 15-20 mins at a time. I cannot see appreciable differences on the PG32 content, but most likely because I am not that attuned to them. So glad to see the discussion of...

    3080 Ti EVGA Notify Queue

    It is funny that if I "win" I get the chance to spend $1,400.

    3080 Ti EVGA Notify Queue

    I did the Elite spin thing and got a 20% off code. I did not see these cards excluded, does anyone know for sure? I doubt it will matter since it is only good for 90 days and the chances of my having a card by then are about zero.

    3080 Ti EVGA Notify Queue

    I was able to get in the queue for the FTW Ultra, who knows when it will be available. Still waiting on my 10/6 notify for a 3080.

    LG 48CX

    I think I could just get 4:2:0, but someone else can confirm. It was/is outstanding. I only noticed the red text issue in Star Wars The Old Republic, which I rarely play, but even then it was not distracting enough to make much of a difference.

    LG 48CX

    I used my CX for a couple of weeks before you were kind enough to let me get your 3080 from EVGA and while the 3080 is better, the 2080ti really did a nice job in everything I used it for. I enjoyed gaming on it with the 2080ti more than on the Gsync ultrawide I had before it. I never tried it...

    LG 48CX

    You will really enjoy it. I play more games more often that I did with my Alienware ultrawide because I just enjoy looking at the image :)

    How many games have you refunded?

    I refund any game I do not enjoy playing or feel like it is not worth the price paid. Sometimes it is a technical issue, other times a wonky control scheme, no key rebinds, etc. I really appreciate the policies and do not abuse them, but it is nice that I do not have to be stuck with something I...

    Looking for a high end ATX case.

    Thank you for the info. Sounds like a nice combination of flexibility and horror :)
