3080 out for delivery. 1080ti has been yanked and the case cleaned in preparation. C'mon, baby. Come to daddy.

Congrats! Which card did you order?
I also retired my 1080ti, it was such a great card. But the jump to the 3080 is just mind blowing.

I believe it's an EVGA XC3 Ultra, if memory is serving me correctly. Not my first pick, but beggars can't be choosers (I generally DO like EVGA, tho, to be fair). Will be interested to see how the capacitors look and whether there are any issues with stability. Fingers crossed.

Yea, it's absolutely killing me. Lol
And, nope. Normally UPS gets my packages to me earlier in the day, but knowing my luck this will be one of those times they push the 'by 8pm' soft guarantee.

Man im getting discouraged, still havnt found a single 3090 in stock anywhere
EVGA's global product manager, Jacob Freeman, has said on Twitter that more RTX 3090s will be shipped to retailers next week. I'm hoping to snag one and then return my 3080 or sell it.
I'm off work for 10 days after tomorrow. Sourcing a quick delivery 3090 is going to be my fulltime job.

I7-4790k that boosts to 4.5ghz. Once the ti comes out or if I end up getting a 3090 later on down the road, I'll upgrade cpu/mobo/ram. Probably sooner, tho. Just waiting on AMD, but we'll see. Lol
Edit: upgrade gonna happen one way or another on or around CP2077 release.

Wow, your CPU is about the same age as mine (i7-5820k); both were released in the summer of 2014.
I'm waiting until DDR5 and compatible CPUs are released before I upgrade, since DDR5 will be released next year; I think upgrading now would be foolish since DDR5 is right around the corner.

Feast your eyes on the first DDR5 memory modules
This DRAM is faster than yours (unless you’ve wildly overclocked some exotic DDR4)

I found a retailer saying they were getting msi 3080s near end of November so I was like ya sure why not. Just got an email saying nope, now no estimate of time
Yeah, I'm pretty much done trying to get a card this year. Not worth all the hassle. Thank god new consoles are coming this year.

I cannot enable ray tracing in Control, which is maddening; the ray tracing option is grayed-out and accompanied by a lock-symbol and text that says that I need DX12 and the DXR API. I've reinstalled Nvidia GeForce Experience, the Nvidia video drivers, and the game itself; however, the problem remains. I even select the DX12 executable in the game's file directory when launching the game, but I still can't enable ray tracing. I've browsed the internet for advice and have come across a post somewhere in which someone said that they had to reinstall Windows to get it to work; there's no way in hell that I'm doing that.
EDIT:
I've fixed the problem; I specified DX12 in the game's launch options via Steam.

Do yourself a favour and don't buy into DDR 5 in the first generation. It will be expensive, buggy and barely faster. Build a good and cheap DDR4 system now and upgrade in 2 to 3 years when ddr5 matured a bit.Wow, your CPU is about the same age as mine (i7-5820k); both were released in the summer of 2014.

Yea, I know. =_=
Edit: It's here!! Surprisingly enough, it's smaller than my 1080ti! There goes any concerns about whether it would fit. LOL

Pretty shitty pic, I know. I didn't think to do a comparison shot prior to installing the new card and I'm too lazy to pull it back out.
Anyways, the card in my hand is a Gigabyte Aorus branded 1080ti. It's a big ol' girl. Installed is an EVGA XC3 Ultra 3080.

Sweet, glorious 4k60. Oh how I've yearned for thee.
So far I've tested Witcher 3 (with config file changes to go beyond max, w/o hairworks) and the Baldur's Gate 3 EA, max settings. GOD, does it feel GOOD. I'll probably spend all evening just trying different games. Lol

Probably 3rd or 4th time I've had a 3080 in my cart, and went out of stock.
Thought today was a sure thing, as I got a 3080 in my cart and failed, then saw a 3090 in stock and got it in my cart and failed as well. Was midway through check out.
Maybe next week. Can't keep doing watching Twitch/Discord though as it's having a huge negative affect on my productivity at work... So somethings gotta give.

Thought i would share some tips to help people still on the hunt.
1. Go here https://www.nowinstock.net/computers/videocards/nvidia/rtx3080/
2.The website itself is 100% useless for the most part but sign up for notifications if you feel like it. What you are here for are the like minded psychos in the disgus at the bottom and wait. The only way i found to get my 3080 was a kind soul alerting others to a best buy restock of 3080FEs today and i got very lucky.
Fuck the scalpers F5 GANG forever.

So, the shop where i ordered the EVGA XC3 Gaming contacted me today. Their supplier had sent the XC3 Ultra by mistake and they asked me if i'd accept it instead. No extra expenses.
Of course i said yes.
The ultra has factory OC and it costs 20 extra dollars. Wich in Braziland would turn into 100.
Still waiting for it to be shipped though.

So, I was noticing some coil whine, nothing too bad but it was there, and the fans were a little loud. Did a google and found out there was a firmware update for EVGA cards. Ran the update, took all of 15 seconds, and now the fans are quieter with no noticeable drop in cooling, and the coil whine is almost non-existent. So yea, if you have an EVGA 3080 (or any 30xx card, I guess), check to see if it needs a firmware update!

Cost/benefit of being an early adopter of DDR5 probably isn't going to be that great. DDR4 memory is damn cheap right now.

I know, but I'd feel pretty bad when DDR5 is released at approximately 6000MHz or more.

That is your issue. 8x MSAA at 4K is such a hog. When ever anyone runs max settings in benchmarks for reviews at 4k they don’t have MSAA on.

I have surrendered and I have cancelled my ASUS TUF preorder. Being 1,500 in the queue without my money and receiving next to no info was too much for me to handle.
I guess it was not meant to be, maybe when the new AMD SKUs release I'll manage to snag a 3080 somewhere. If not, well, it's PS5 time until the stock issues are solved.

Seems that a good 650W PSU is fine. (corsair RM650x)
I OCed the 3080 TUF non oc to +170 core and +700 mem with maxed powerlimit. card draws around 350W.
im still getting a bigger psu since i want to upgrade my cpu in the future and may get a card with higher power limit.
but the tuf is a beast. max temp 72C and whisper quiet. quiet mode > performance mode.
Will test the OC version next. After that a Ventus and if i was not scammed a ftw3 ultra (that one most likely with a new psu).

Yep. I wasn't going to play this game so I went with a scalper price on ebay. I'm happy to have the card and get to work on my development as well as play CrysisRE at 4k/30 "can it run crysis" mode.

More money than sense. And I'm jealous and happy for ya. Glad to have ya back!
You might need to upgrade windows. I think DXR was introduced around version 1809 or maybe 1903.
