Anyone ever used the vertical mounts for GPU that some cases have? Was going to buy a cable for the Phanteks mount but seeing how thicc the 3080 is it seems it will sit next to the glass. So not sure that was a good idea.

Asus Tuf with 6 MLCC supposedly also crashing. So might be other issues as well.

My Ventus have 5 big chips and one cluster of the small ones, no crashes as of yet. However I've seen pictures of the card with 6 big ones, so maybe there are mixed versions out. Edit: Seems some stock photos are different from the product they launched. Played some Gears 5 today after I...

Gave up on the mATX form factor due to the 3080. Rebuilt the PC today with the Phantek P500a case. Might get a bigger radiator of the Arctic Freezer II later on, but for now the 240mm will have to do. I am no RGB fan but this is how it looks on the first boot. Might turn it off later.

My MSI Ventus has performed perfectly. Not a single crash or wierd behavior. Is it people OCing that get crashes or normal plebs like me also?

The market here is ice cold. People can hardly flip the 3080s for a profit from what I see. Not like US ebay prices at least.

Yea I ended up canceling my order that went through. The 3080 will be more than enough for me.

I got a Gigabyte 3090 order through and now I am all confused why I ordered it haha. Will see if I can sell the 3080 for a profit and pay towards the 3090.

Played a few titles yesterday on the new 3080 with Gsync on and the black screens havent popped up since I switched card. Might have been something with my 1070.

The 95 was a spike, it seems to sit at 80-85C most of the time. With my old 1070 the CPU never went above 82C with heavy load. The case is small and the 3080 generates a lot of heat so I think I will order a P500a, mesh front, more room and bigger fans.

Benchmarked the 3080 today. Everything max and vsync off. Went from 34fps on gtx1070 to this.

The weight seems to be 1370g on the MSI. I dont think the other card manufacturers ship the bracket so it's probably not needed.

1370g it seems this one weigh. Not sure if they are needed though. Edit: Played some Gears 5 for a bit and the GPU went to 77C as the highest but the CPU logged a max spike of like 95C. And thats with an AIO. Could try swap the PSU upside down so it blows some heat out but it seems I need to...

It's a sag bracket. It comes with the card so I figured I'd use it.

Yea it comes in the box, figured I might as well put it in there.

Reposting the current setup from the 3080 thread. This is how the 3080 fitted into the Define Mini C. I think thermals might become an issue but will try it for a week or two in this case. Any suggestions on a good and not too big a case if I need to switch? I have eyed the Phantec P500a case...

My 3080 MSI Ventus just arrived. It's a chunky boi. (Disregard the dust.)

The monitor came with a display port cable right? I dont remember myself as I bought that same monitor. I do have those long blackouts but only when using GSync when gaming, turning gsync off and I never get them. If switching cable works ill order a new one as well. Let us know! Edit: After...

Nah I just wanted to be able to play it without crashing every 30 minutes, besides that issue it was a great game and looks really good. Speaking of crashing, did they sort that out yet? I still need to play through the Frozen Wilds part, waiting on the 3080 to come home first though.

20x0 series have been in plentiful supply here in Sweden, 50+ units of all kinds in multiple stores. Even ti's have been sitting in stock.

Yea that made me satisfied with a 3080.

Installed my 750w PSU today in anticipation of tuesday when the 3080 arrives. It is going to be a snug fit in the Fractal Define Mini C. Around 5mm clearence on the front fans in theory. Hope it fits or I'll have to go shop for a bigger case also. Will the 3090 release the same time on the 24th...

I did not even try for a FE. Got me a MSI Ventus, the store had 50+ of those cards so I went for that. Luckily the website did not crash.

Seems I have only one on the way after everything caught up. The other order I thought went through was 15 mins lagged in their system, ordered 2:58pm and it registered in their system as 3:13 so it got stuck in a delivery queue, stated preliminary shipping the 27th so I canceled that one. I'm...

One card is on the way now. The other site seems to have trouble getting the status updated but I did sneak in my order 2 minutes before release so I'm hoping it gets through.

Not sure how crazy people are here in Sweden, but some unlucky bastard that got money to waste might pay up.

Seems I got 2 MSI GeForce RTX 3080 VENTUS 3X OC coming from different stores. Will probably return one unless I could make a buck or two reselling the second one.

Might have gotten 2 cards through. 2 of 4 sites I F5ed crashed.

I ordered a Corsair RM750X. It has gotten lots of praise from what ive seen. Figured my 550w won't do the job anymore.

I will enjoy 3x the fps over my gtx 1070.

I'm counting on people buying cards depending on their looks so I will aim for the ugliest ones as i dont have a stupid glas panel on my case. If I don't get lucky with a 3080 I might try for a 3090 the 24th and after that just wait for whichever arrives first and cancel (or resell) the other...

"Paint me like one of your French girls." Yea our Labrador is wierd.

Pre-orders (sales) start on the 17th.

How does it work when you buy from nvidia? Do you pay directly when you order or do they charge once they ship it? I'm going to order a few places when they release but also try a FE order, not interested in shelling out money in advance though and having to wait.

Yea from what I've gathered there will be no preorders at all. Stores around here have a timer up for 3pm (gmt+1) on the 17th when you can buy them.

No pre-orders at all it seems. Most webshops got a timer up now for the release, will be interadasting how many clicks home dupe cards in the rush.

Was browsing Audible today for the next book to listen to and saw Arcanum Unbounded available. that worth checking out? Short stories from different series if I understood correct. Might buy the Mistborn books with my credits and listen to them again since it was a feew years ago I did that.

Just wish the stores get their prices set and maybe queue system but thats probably too much to hope for. Seems the Asus cards will go for $1000 in Sweden unless they lower them a bit but it follows the trend with taxes and shit over here. $800 in the US will be around 950-1000 here.

Yea I think the stores I checked will be out of stock real fast. How often do Nvidia restock their Founder Edition cards on their website?
