Pretty sure if anyone had that info and were allowed to share it, we’d have seen it by now. The best anyone here can do is regurgitate MLID.

Faster single threaded, slower overall.

Why wouldn’t it “look” good?

Soooo you tried to make a point by telling us a 200+ watt gpu was able to do what Intels IGP has done “normally” for years?

I'm one of the few people that like the way evga cards look

Theres a lot of factors that will determine where the bottleneck is. Can’t say 4 cores will bottleneck a GPU “for sure” without knowing what GPU and what resolution its pushing. When I was running my 3770k with a 1080Ti on a 1440p display, the bottleneck was the CPU in many of the games I play...

Not something I’d be bragging about but you do you.

Do you know what a conspiracy theory is? making sense or not making sense isnt an exclusion.

Out of all the conspiracy theories I’ve heard regarding this launch, this one is by far the most... “Interesting.”

If your card is working the way it should, does it really matter? hardware revisions happen all the time, this isn’t a new phenomenon. if you’re that worried about your card, return it.

That is interesting. Can you post the reviews your seeing? Particularly the ones showing a 5% difference? I’ll post the ones I’ve seen. Because the ones I’ve seen show virtually identical performance. Sometimes there’s a variance of 1 FPS and it’s not always in the old drivers favor.

Task manager is shit for GPU monitoring. Half the games I play it shows no load.

you aren’t using my Analogy correctly. Ill help. Using my analogy would be like buying a 2021 SuperDuty that can tow more and is more efficient than the 2019 Super Duty, when towing up to the 2019s tow capacity but uses more fuel when you to IT‘S towing capacity and complaining about it.

Complaining about efficiency for a gaming GPU (especially when you got a small one) is like buying a Ford Super Duty and complaining about gas mileage.

Pretty impressive gains if accurate. Makes me want to upgrade my 3900x even though I'll likely see little real-world benefit

How fast GDDR6X is doesn't really matter if you're swapping assets to and from system ram. At that point you are limited by the speed of your system ram, not your VRAM.

If he used a bot to secure himself ONE card for his own personal use, I see nothing wrong with what he did. He didn't prevent you from getting a card, what he did do is provide one less card for bad actors/scalpers using bots for nefarious purposes. Those are the folks who are part of the...

It wasn’t discovered right away. All you’re proving is reviews prior to the find were never changed. That isnt the claim All the MLID worshippers are making. They are saying all anyone will pay attention to is day 1 reviews and they will supersede anything that comes after it no matter how...

You can use a 64 core processor at 3.9GHz and it'll perform the same as a 8 core at 3.9GHz for a flight sim

The first link has it, and everyone who knows anything about GPU's is also well aware of it. The 3.5GB fiasco tainted any good will the Day 1 reviews could ever possibly give it. All your comment shows is how google algorithm works, and even with that, the first link still mentions it. What do...

From the very first link...

Since when has "day 1 reviews" stood the test of time if the product had glaring issue? I don't care how long you guys have been around or how much you think you know, if you are regurgitating this line, you don't know as much as you think you do. Let me ask you guys this, is the GTX 970...

The first few question/answers in that video should clear it up a bit. In a nutshell, nVidia is making a multi-purpose "one size fits all" GPU designed for compute and gaming and you need ECC for compute and data center tasks.

I'm willing to bet any type of driver or firmware update to "fix" the issue will get a re-review by multiple sites.

Perhaps, but a driver change will just cause more bad press. Imagine all the reviewers doing a "hot fix" follow up and comparing the before/after performance? The cards already performed well short of the claimed 2x 2080 performance on most games.

Honestly, anyone with one of these cards showing stability issues really should return it and get their money back. Don't let nVidia and Co hang on or keep your money while they figure out the best way to slow your card down. Yeah, it'll suck to have to be without your new 3080 for a month or...

It appears the root cause has already been found. How it's going to be addressed is what remains to be seen. My idea of a fix is about as simple as it gets. When the cards work the way they are supposed to work (without the end user having to take steps to slow them down from their default...

Sure you do. The cards are supposed to work out of the box in their default configuration. Underclocking is not the end users responsibility. If the card isn't stable enough to boost to 2000, it shouldn't boost to 2000.

Thats not Fixing the issue. That’s avoiding it.

That last sentence is a warranty issue. Not the responsibility of the end user.

Very simple. Intel still holds a small performance advantage for single threaded applications and FS2020 is a product of lazy development that does not leverage new low level APIs that allow games to scale nicely across many cores/threads.

I was considering one when rumors were ~20% faster than a 3080. That combined with VRAM anxiety on the 3080 made the 3090 "worth it" to me.... Buuuut, at 3-10% faster it's a hard pass

I don't think you've gotten that far in your explanation.

Streaming assets from storage that are going to be used for a later frame is nothing new and it's never been a substitute for vram

760GB/s for gddr6x on the 3080 vs 8GB/s for a nvme gen 4 SSD. Latency measured in nanoseconds for GDDR vs milliseconds for SSD. Have fun with that.

You’ve been comfused for about a week now. Let me simplify it for you. i didn’t praise nvidia nor did I say there was plenty of stock. I think this launch could have went a lot smoother than it did. What I am doing is calling BS on your claim that nvidia is lying about the demand and that stock...

For a B&M to get 12 units on the initial launch, that’s pretty good. You must be new to this Or have poor memory. oh, buddy if mine just ordered one direct from nvidia about 5 min ago. Lmk if you want a screenshot since you know. You think nvidia will never stock these 699 cards. also, where...

Except it’s not just nvidia saying that. It’s literally all the partners and I’ve seen numerous reports of micro centers around the country receiving a dozen units With people waiting in line the Day before. But pay no attention to what people who are actually selling the cards say about...

If the argument is that the 3090 should be more than 10% faster than a 3080 then I’m in full agreement. You just lose me when you start taking about $850-900 20GB 3080s and somehow paint them as inferior to anything Turing be it from a price, performance or value perspective. Turing was so bad...
