When they gonna push out more of these?

 

[saintjules]

uhmmmm

 

[mitchman]

Holy crap, I just checked the biggest tech online shop here in Norway and they suddenly removed all options to order or pre-order any 30XX cards.

"Due to extreme demand, this product is temporarily unavailable for sale. Click on receive notification and be notified as soon as the product is available for sale again"

My TUF order is still as "November 1"..

Mine's for Oct 22nd at komplett.

I like reading this, even if it doesn't mean much, it puts me at ease. I just wish it didn't make getting a new card cut it so close to CP 2077 launch.

This is a nice response. Heres hoping they can replenish the supply quickly.

Basically: "We had lots of stock, you guys were just thirstier than we expected. Also, we had security measures in place to fight bots, but not ones as sophisticated as these."

I mean, what's done is done, but I would've preferred more eating of crow, tbh.

 

[Rentahamster]

The reports of people being able to buy multiple cards at once on Nvidia's site are true? Was there a limit?

 

[BluRayHiDef]

There are still no listings for FTW3 cards. Damn.

 

[Krappadizzle]

Were more supposed to go live today?

 

[BluRayHiDef]

More? You mean that there were some available already for the RTX 3080? Also, I personally have the RTX 3090 in mind.

 

[kiphalfton]

So EVGA had more stock available today, but their site crashed and when the smoke cleared everything was sold out.

Jesus. I feel this is going to be the general theme for the 30xx line for the next couple months, unless NV is able to really ramp up their production.

I'm so glad I have patience, I wana see what AMD is doing and Cyberpunk is a while away yet anyway

 

[kiphalfton]

Follow Jacob at EVGA on twitter for availability tweets.

 

[Wunray]

I gave up on the 3080, gonna try my hand for big Navi or 3070 in January of next year (might get lucky and get 1 on launch)

I'm usually a pretty patient person, but not this time. I've been wanting a new card for too long now and the 20xx series just wasn't a big enough upgrade, especially not for the price. =_=

Yeah.. My 1080 is a great performer, amazing win in the processor lottery. But it has coil whine..; tweets like a little bird at idle.. It's not loud but very annoying. I'm so ready to finally jank it out of there..

 

[waylo]

Apparently EVGA put some stock on sale today. Never would have known. I've been checking all day and even have their dumb notifications setup. Never saw anything.

This entire thing is fucking idiotic at this point. Let us put a fucking order in and ship when they come in. This little game they expect us to play where we have to randomly refresh a store page 24/7 and pray you not only hit at the right time, but can also somehow beat bots is straight up retarded.

 

[TaySan]

Fuck EVGA's website. Had it in my car and was in checkout and everything, but they already sold my damn card.

Why can't they send these cards to Amazon or something that can actually handle the traffic?

Their site is garbage. However, good news is they're manually going through orders and cancelling bot orders. Not sure how that's going to work, but it's something.

 

[TyphoonStruggle]

At those prices I think the Strix 3090 is a better buy. But $300 over MSRP is still shit.

[GHG]

Prices of the 3080 have risen on the Newegg international store in the last day or so. Every card looks to have had about a $50 increase pre-tax.

And still none of them are in stock.

There was a PNY 3080 going for $4,000 on Amazon lol

To be fair to Nvidia, this shit was going to happen regardless of if it was planned or not. There's no way to prove that this was somehow designed since some form of this was inevitably going to happen naturally anyway.

I would go for the Strix, but I've read testimonials that Asus' customer service and warranty redemption are terrible (e.g. they replace RMA'd cards with refurbished cards that have visible damage rather than with new cards). Also, my Asus HD 7970 DirectCU II died, though luckily after I stopped using it and had replaced it with an EVGA GTX 980Ti FTW (which I upgraded to an EVGA GTX 1080Ti SC2).

 

[Rbk_3]

So I am doing some testing and in GTA V I am getting very low GPU usage. Like as low as 40% at 1440p max settings with a 9900KS.



Note this video is still processing the HD version


Also, RDR 2 is sitting at 90% usage.

I think my card is jacked because I am also having stuttering frametime issues in Warzone as mention earlier in this tread and Warzone has crashed5x now.

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

Why do I find the EVGA FTW3 to be so oddly sexy? Maybe its the curves and bright lights and that thick red lipstick.

RMA cards aren't new though.

 

[Type_Raver]

Looks like I'll be without a proper graphics card for another 6 weeks. I recently preordered an evga 3080 FTW3 Ultra, just hope it arrives in time for some Cyberpunk 2077 action!

 

[BluRayHiDef]

Well, from what I've read, the replacement cards that Asus provides typically function poorly and have cosmetic damage, which is my main point.

What's the difference between the Gaming Edition and Ultra Edition? Can the former be overclocked to the speed of the latter and are they equally binned?

Drivers and perhaps a frame-rate cap in GTAV.

gotta keep these 8000 cuda cores fed.

a rather single thread dependend game at 1440p probably isn't the right way to do that. than GTA5 has this 200fps bug. but that should be more noticable in the form of regular frametime spikes.

 

[ZywyPL]

To be fair to Nvidia, this shit was going to happen regardless of if it was planned or not.

I don't think NV gets any more money, nor any of the cards manufacturer, due to high demand/price, all the extra price goes directly as the store margin, while NV get's their usual cut for their chips when selling them directly to Asus, Gigabyte, MSI etc. and those get a fixed cash as well for each unit sold to the stores. So miners, scalpers, none of this matters as far as their profit goes per each unit.

 

[Type_Raver]

All I know for certain is that it has a higher base/boost clock.
Everything else we'll need to learn once reviews are out. I suspect it's going to be a marginal difference at most, but I'd be happy to be surprised.

 

[TyphoonStruggle]

 

[Allnamestakenlol]

So it's true the reviews for the 3090 won't be dropping until release day? Doesn't bode well.

Don't need 'em.

Here are some real world 3090 benchmarks vs the 3080:

• Time Spy (graphics): 20569 vs 17645 (via arstechnica). 16.6% Increase
• Time Spy Extreme (graphics): 10560 vs 8798 (via arstechnica). 20% Increase
• Assassin's Creed Odyssey (4K/Maxed): 71 vs 63 (via arstechinica) 12.7% Increase
• Horizon Zero Dawn (4K/Ultimate Quality): 86 vs 73 (via techspot) 17.8% Increase
• Red Dead Redemption II (4K/Maxed/No MSAA): 66 (can't find any exact)
• Shadow of the Tomb Raider (4K/Maxed/DLSS/No RT): 112 vs 103 (via guru 3D) 8.7% Increase
• Shadow of the Tomb Raider (4K/Maxed/DLSS/RT): 82 vs 69 (via pcgamer) 18.8% Increase
• Control DLSS Quality 55-70 vs 64.8 (via gamers nexus)
• Control DLSS Performance 80-95 (can't find anything)

Basically... don't waste your money unless you must have the best. If you're worried about the 10GB of VRAM then wait for the 20GB versions of the 3080.

 

[waylo]

Another day of F5'ing various online stores. Hope I hit today or tomorrow as I'm back to work on Thursday so I won't have the time to sit around spam refreshing all day.

Wouldn't be a problem if we could just back order, but ya' know, that's apparently too tough. Much easier letting bots flood your store then manually going through every order to try and weed them out.

Thanks! Still seems fishy, tho. Release-date embargoes always do. Especially when it's a product that has a 'do or die' release situation where you either get on board from the get-go or wait an indeterminate period of time.

 

[Mista]

If those leaked 3090 benchmarks are real, then shame on Nvidia. Just 10% faster than the 3080? This is supposed to be your titan card...

I mean, 10-20% based on the above. Still, wasn't the difference between a titan and x080 in prior gens more like 20-30%? That's about what I was hoping for.
