My Zotac 2080 Ti has been great. I would absolutely purchase another Zotac card.For sure. At this point, I'd even consider buying a Gigabyte or Zotac.

How many are from scalper or from buyers that put themselve on many waiting list and placing order in has many place they can and end up with more than one card ? Those people (most of us) are almost weighting on the system I imagine.Its just to hyped up alot of people an bots are buying in hopes of reselling as a profit an then they are unable to sell and the card is returned. I have a friend that works at best buy an he said at least 3 cards are returned a week. An then this just ruins the chance of anyone getting that card for even longer.
Yea, my 2080 ti with a waterblock has coil whine. I undervolt which helps a lot.From what I gathered coil whine can impact any card. My 1080 Ti FTW3 with a waterblock has very minor coil whine but it doesn’t bother me. The 3090 TUF I had was much more noticeable and that was without the waterblock that would probably make it worse.
Some cards may have a higher probability of possessing it; ASUS and the FE cards seem to be more common culprits for the 3000 series. But other than that from what I gathered there are so many variables and the fact much of it is just purely a lottery, that it’s unlikely possible to identify ideal situations to prevent coil whine.
That’s exactly the combo I’ve been hunting for all three pcs I have been working on the last few months. Congrats, glad to see someone is getting them. =)Yea, my 2080 ti with a waterblock has coil whine. I undervolt which helps a lot.
Managed to snag a 3080 for my computer and 2-3060 tis for the daughters new builds.
Ummm congrats I guess?Snagged a 1660 Super from Newegg yesterday at normal price. First one in weeks. Couldn't believe it. Could only get one though. It's definitely going to a real user. I could use several more...
Yeah, I've had zotac in the past too... Not sure why they're so hated?My Zotac 2080 Ti has been great. I would absolutely purchase another Zotac card.
Yeah, ummmm, thanks. I think. It's really kinda odd when you feel excited for landing a low mid range video card.Ummm congrats I guess?
BAM!Damn dude are you still trying to get a card?
finally dude! Congrats!BAM!
A pre-order I forgot I even made on 9/18 just shipped! I've had so many of the original ones cancelled along the way - I didn't think any of those were even still valid.
Adorama is the first place that came through for me - and after radio silence -- here it is shipped today, three months later!
Cyberpunk 2077 - maxed out settings here I come!

Older generation too.Yeah, ummmm, thanks. I think. It's really kinda odd when you feel excited for landing a low mid range video card.
That has largely been similar to my mindset for all the 3060TIs that have in some way been possible achievable (i.e. a button that didn't say sold out), they're just so much higher in cost than the reference design it puts it with spitting distance of the next tier card but you know regardless of the overclock on them they're not going to be anywhere close to the next tier in speed.Its crazy that there are RTX 3070s listed at $630 or so when for $100 more you can get a 3080.
Sweet man! Hope you receive the card instead of a box of cat foodView attachment 309858
Popped up briefly on Amazon. Haven't seen the 3080 FTW3 on sale on Amazon (by Amazon) yet. Wonder when it'll actually get fulfilled...
Ha, nah don't have to worry about that. Amazon ended up cancelling the order along with hundreds/thousands of others it oversold to.Sweet man! Hope you receive the card instead of a box of cat food
Even better! Congrats! Post pics!Ha, nah don't have to worry about that. Amazon ended up cancelling the order along with hundreds/thousands of others it oversold to.
Instead, I ordered an EVGA RTX 3090 XC3 Ultra from this morning's Best Buy drop - the card I've wanted but couldn't get my hands on. Gets delivered Thursday!
11:30? Do they open at noon or something?This is fucking ridiculous. I just came to MC and there a line down the block of people waiting on 3080s. It is 11:30am....
I talked to the manager and said the truck was late. It just showed up when I got there. They didn't know how many cards there were on there. I am sure they know. The guy in front said he was there since 4am. I said you a fucking scalper ain't you. He smiled and shrugged at me. I counted 36 people in line drive past.11:30? Do they open at noon or something?
That said, MC is simply one of the few (only?) places that doesn't sell online, so the chances of getting a card has nothing to do with "who's bot is faster" and you can just see how long the line is. That said, if they get 100s of cards, and 1 card per customer, with no one "holding space for others who magically jump out of the cars in the parking lot to join their friend in line" and now you being 40 people back turns into 100 people pack, you might have a better than average chance of getting a card. Plus something I've noticed, if they're keeping 6+ feet between people lines tend to look misleadingly long.

Is it really worth their time waiting in line at 4am to get a card to flip? I guess I'm in the minority that values his time more than a few hundred dollars flipping a CPU, GPU, console.The guy in front said he was there since 4am. I said you a fucking scalper ain't you.

There is a limit 1 card per 30 days per house hold. Mine just doesn't enforce it. They just won't let you buy multiple in one go. Mine also jacked up prices on 1080ti and stuff during the mining craze. Scalping was not the issue then. All retailers were jacking up the prices. AMD and Nvidia must of stepped in to stop it this round.MicroCenter hasn't done this, so they probably just don't care, but I think they should institute some sort of 15 or 30 day policy on these flagship/premier products. That if you've bought a card in the last 15 days you can't buy another on the same CC/same name/same address.
MicroCenter would like to sell additional components with their graphics cards, and people that are scalping them aren't buying additional components at retail with their graphics cards purchase, so I think it would actually help their bottom line. We all know a good percentage of the customers are the same guys lining up day after day after day to buy/scalp.
As to stopping people from using cash to hide previous purchases - not much you could do there, but I think you'd take a big dent out of the scalping at MC if you just limited it to one graphics card purchase per credit card per X period of time.
I do recall in the mining craze of 2017/2018 that Microcenter in Overland Park KS just flat boosted their prices to match typical scalper prices. Since that stopped, I presume Nvidia and AMD got after them for that practice. The minimum moratory on additional purchases of the same, in demand SKU, would be effective, and profitable for MicroCenter.
It must be. They told me that guy is there almost everyday.Is it really worth their time waiting in line at 4am to get a card to flip? I guess I'm in the minority that values his time more than a few hundred dollars flipping a CPU, GPU, console.
Some people also don't have good day jobs so yeah it's totally worth their whiles...if I was a broke college student still and had a MC next to me, I'd probably be maxing my CC on GPUs to resell if I could to pay tuition.It must be. They told me that guy is there almost everyday.
Damn 36 people is a long line? As long as that line didn't increase (again people holding places for 4 of their friends who come running as soon as the line starts moving), I'd stand in line for that, between 3090s, 3080s, 3070s, 3060tis there should be something I'd want.I talked to the manager and said the truck was late.

Have they jacked up prices? I wanna say it's been well over 20 years since I've stepped foot in one (and that was before I knew of the existence of Fry's)...Central Computers in the Bay Area is a joke, I sold my 3070s for a lower 'margin' than these losers claim is normal...because I was trying not to scalp.
I didn't bother. Scalpers are after 3080s for the most part. I doubt they got more 10 let alone 40.Damn 36 people is a long line?

How about a 3060 ti for 499 and a 3070 for 599 (plus the obligatory 10% bay area tax) plus buying another component or two or three...and may be you get the privilege of doing so after winning a raffle. Glad they shut shop in Pleasanton near me ...Have they jacked up prices?

Best Buy is my suggestion. Hotstock app is good at telling when there are drops and I've been quite successful at getting cards.I am really sad right now. I was going to camp out a 3080ti when released but the shit I saw today is really disheartening. I was willing to go to MC at 5am but unless I go the day before my chances are nil. I been with out a pc for nearly three months cause of this shit.
