So small update, I continued to mess with the card, tried it again the next day, and the card wouldn't boost, couldn't even get it to work with a forced boost level or anything. seems like the card is junk for 3d work, it was worth a shot. could be just as RazorWind suggested, there doesn't...
Thats good to know, I mean after repaste and testing under timespy the card dropped a good 7-8c under load and at stock voltage and frequency settings.
Ill have to look up the issues you're talking about, I've never dealt with fixing those issues and probably should for the health of my 3080...
This card has no RGB inside it, its a fairly plan Dual Fan Design with a single 8 Pin power connector.
I opened it up last night to repaste after it seemed to be revived. and the board was pretty clean, no major dust, fins were all clean, and my untrained eye didnt see anything obvious in the...
That's what I figure as well, he left CIV V running and stepped away from his PC, which is on the floor near a gas fireplace. Not an ideal environment, and definitely not in one of those aurora cases, where the components are crammed in Tetris style.
The thermal paste was dry and crusty, but I...
It is not under warranty, and my neighbor would have had to shell out $450 to reinstate the warranty and ship the whole PC back to Dell for service, which in my past experiences is hit or miss as best.
He opted to buy a 3060ti off of me for MSRP, and gave the card to me since I wouldn't have a...
The drivers were obtained from nvidia, using the clean install function, I'll try ddu, but this has carried over between 2-3 PCs now, so It is unlikely to be a driver issue.
I was going to tweak voltages further, than I did, but noticed just a slight change caused 3dmark to crash during it's...
It doesn't report high temps. it runs in the mid 40's or 50s during the time spy run. The clock speed doesn't stay boosted, I can't recall GPU usage, but i'm fairly certain it was low.
So my neighbor has an Alienware Aurora that came with an OEM Dell RTX 2070. Randomly one day we stepped away from his pc while running CIV 5, when he came back, his framerates were bad and the system was running choppy. Upon reboot everything seemed fine, but his performance in games was awful...
I woke up this morning to my Facebook Marketplace Feed with 4-5 sellers with postings selling 3080TIs for $2100+. One piece of crap had 13 or 14 - like 8 founders and 5-6 FTW3 and Strix models sitting on the hood and trunk of his Mercedes, and his buddy next to him had 3-4. They were still in...
let's see if i can remember them all, lots of changes, switched to mobile for a while. I really can't even remember all of them.
Pentium 66mhz
Athlon K6-2 366mhz
AMD Duron 700
AMD Athlon XP+
AMD Athlon 3000+
Opteron 165
AMD Athlon XP again?
Intel e8400
Intel i5 760
intel i5 2500k
Intel 4670k...
You're definitely right, I certainly don't notice much different between the 9700k and the 3600. But I also don't want to have to keep upgrading my CPU. I did that when I was younger and couldn't necessarily afford the i7 variants, i'd buy the i5 and overclock., then I ran a first gen i7/6 core...
I'll likely pass my monitor on to my son for his rig, hes using a 13 or so year old LG monitor and buy myself at least a 1440p monitor, My old eyes I think could use a 27" haha.
That said I got the 5800x, Bestbuy Shipped it USPS, in a padded envelope, luckily it appears to be intact. now to...
Thanks for the information, I bought too much stuff figuring i could pass it on to forum members at cost, but im confused.
I was running on a 9700k, gtx 1080, 32gb ram and 1080p 144hz monitor.
I bought the ryzen 5 3600 and b550, then transferred the remainder of my parts. I really only play...
Hi guys,
I need some help with a CPU Decision. I had a 9700k system where the motherboard failed during Bios Update. I ended up picking up a Ryzen 5 3600 and a Strix B550-F board with intentions to upgrade to a 5000 series cpu. everything else being the same, I really didn't see any difference...
I really want a 3080 from Evga, and I got a 5800x so i'm happy, I'll either sell the 3080 or the 3060ti and then probably the 3600x. I sort of feel bad, but this scalper and bot crap is ridiculous, and I hope I am helping someone out!
Is there some extra step to the evga queue? I haven't received a single notification, I ran down the list and added every single 3080 to the list and same for the 3060ti.
I received the auto queue confirmation emails as I registered for them, but haven't received one for a place in line to buy...
Interesting, I realize this is why the first gpu shortage happened, i kind of figured this was contributing considering the value of bitcoin right now.
it's not something I've really looked into. Not sure I want to deal with it, but i suppose if the bitcoin client can run in windows I could put...
Well thanks to your info I was able to buy a Gigabyte RTX 3080 Gaming OC from Bestbuy. Hopefully my order doesn't get cancelled!.
I've probably clicked 30+ links to always get told its not available. Best Buy's queue + login confirmation saved it for me.
Oh I wasn't stating that it was the norm, just saying I hadn't been seeing the deals the guy I quoted was listing regularly. unless you got a deal like this, I agree, a New, non retail box GTX 1080 should cost less than a standard retail one to start, but the base price of mine was 409 or...
Its not a refurb, I bought it direct from EVGA, as a new listing, 3 year warranty eligible for Step up. Their Refurb cards only come with a 1 year warranty, and are not eligible for the step up program.
That would be disappointing but I get it, gotta pay the entry fee to get the latest tech, I wonder if that means the lower end cards will be a lot cheaper.
I suppose I should preorder this so I can test out the BR, man I hate you have to do that to play the Betas, I suppose I can at least cancel if its garbage.
I watched for the ebay coupon, then when I saw it on SD the day before, I figured out which card I wanted, and had it ready to go, I actually hesitated, and waited until later in the afternoon, and actually found a better deal than I was originally going to get. Patience (or being cheap) ended...
Way back when I had a Lian Li PC-G70 I wish I still had it, I miss it. Had several systems in it, looked sort of like the one you're looking for but no venting in the middle and it was a massive full tower.
Nice looking case, i've heard and read reviews on some of their cases and they seem to make a good case, I have no experience with the brand and the price is usually more than i'm willing to spend.
I just saw that the review release dates for the new cards is now the 19th, not sure what it was before, but its weak they're waiting until the day before they are released to drop reviews. Is this a standard thing?
