when is your expected build date, your not far off from november, and barring we don't have 50state riots, you'll get black friday deals, some really good ones if you live near a microcenter

That would totally work really I am not in a huge hurry and I'd like to see if I can just get a PS5 (especially since my nephew was able to get a pre order yesterday), but yeah I'll check out those 2060/80 supers and the 5700xt
What about CPUs? Is the Ryzen ok? I'm assuming same as intel 3,5,7? 3 is ok but 5 would be a better middle ground. Also if I get a mobo with a rizen 3 CPU could I upgrade to a 5 or 7 down the road with the same mobo?

Computer I'm building was $750 for the CPU, motherboard, ssd drive, case, and memory. I have the rest the keyboard, mice, monitor and graphics card till I buy something else.
amd ryzen 5 3600, 550 tomahawk motherboard, 16gb memory, 1 gb m.2 ssd, power supply, cooler master case came in around $750. I have a lot of junk already that is going in and coming out of my old computer before it gets passed down.
Building it now, haven't built a computer in a while. The motherboard was a lot heavier than my last builds. If you are on a budget for some items you pay more to get it without rgb and such. Guess supply or ??

Fingers crossed. I just flipped the cable ends, and also switched DP Ports on my 1080Ti, and no flicker in Battlefront 2 on first go. Sooooo... maybe something changed, or the cable was weird? who knows.
So tried to load up Battlefront 2, and got the black screen flicker again. Whole screen goes black for a few seconds, then it pops back on, over and over. Should I try lowering the res to 100hz? Despite the AOC screen saying it supports 144hz? Doesn't hurt to try it I guess considering I'm having so many problems.
I thought oh, maybe something weird with Battlefront 2, and so I loaded up HZD, a game that has worked fine in the past when set to 120hz, and just a couple minutes in and the screen went black for so long that it popped up "No Signal" and stayed that way until I could get back to windows. As soon as I was back in Windows, the screen came back.
FF14 works fine... wtf? sigh...

Freesync flicker is like the backlight is going from dim to bright over and over, it's almost like a shimmering effect on the sides of the screen. Like this:
Your problem sounds like it's losing the signal completely. Only time I've had a problem like that was when my 5700XT was brand new and I had enhanced sync turned on by accident. It would cause the signal to be lost completely and generally required a hard reset to fix though. Can't say I've ever seen it happen where it would turn off and on repeatedly, so I'm not sure what to suggest there besides obvious stuff like trying a different DP cable and doing a clean install of your video drivers.

Well, it's working a lot better than it has in the past, but it still has the black screen cut outs. Gonna order a new DP cable I guess, and try that?

That was happening to me recently and it was the cable. Replaced it with a hdmi 2.1 (I doubt I needed that high but why not) and it went away. No idea what the first cable was, maybe hdmi 1.0

Just using an Amazon Basics DP cable, as the one that came in the box for my old 27" 1440p 144hz was said to be terrible. Worked great on that screen without any issue, but doesn't seem to work so great on this ultra wide?
Gonna try a different cable and see.
Edit: Ordered a DisplayPort 1.4 cable, so it should have enough bandwidth to be pushing 3440x1440 ultra wide resolution.

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 looking into it I'm using the cable that came with the monitor, that said it might be a shitty quality anyway. Ordered a new good quality DP cable as I needed a longer one anyway, will see if the black outs go away with that one.

I get mine tomorrow, and we'll see. I ordered a DP1.4 cable, which is supposed to have the bandwidth to support 8k. I think 32gb/s or something, so I'm confident that this should be enough. Really excited, because man, it's so annoying having those blackouts!

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 with the mesh front.

Man, how heavy are these cards? Is that bracket needed you think? Are you using for slots with it? I have three free, so I am worried.

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 check for a case, this wont work during the summer I'm guessing. Got a lot cooler in the house right now in autumn.
