Did you Actually get a RTX3080/90? How?

[Ardylicious]

The only reason I'm buying this card is for VR performance in ACC. I have a 2070 super and it's well able to run most games I've thrown at it on a single screen, at 2K. I was really surprised how well RD2 ran. I did get a 4K display so I'll need more horsepower going forward.

If you're still on a 1080 display then it may be a better option to spend the money on a screen with a higher resolution for now. That seems to be where most the gains are happening. The higher resolution screens do give a big graphical boost in clarity. When all the demand issues are gone and you've spent some time with the higher resolution screen you can decide if you need a new card or not.

I found the 4K display to be one of those SSD moments. It's not where you traditionally make performance leaps but the difference is noticeable.

I tried it. I had a 34 inch ultrawide alienware. And then a dell. I have been sensititve to electrical equipment since i was 20. I have no idea what it is. I know its not blue screen filters. Its more to do with frequency. Anyway i am now content on my alienware 24.5 which i have no issues with.

I have a 2070 super also and so i maybe content. Recently upgraded to an x570 board to show the true power of my ssd. Haha. Oh well we can all be fooled i guess. Lets not discuss Rfactor 2 loading times. haha.

In New Zealand you can pretty much get a 3090 anytime you want. Probably because median salary is mid 50k and a 3090 here is > $3k

Phew! FInally managed to snag myself the FE 3090 from Scan today. Had really wanted the 3080 version, oh well you only live once.
£1399, I must have a bloody hole in the head, certainly got one in the pocket now.
I remember paying 25 quid & 40 number 6 for my first motor (Austin a35 van)..... How life's changed eh, lol.

All I need now is my G2 to turn up, went for one without controllers so may need some guidance setting up and use - totally new to WMR so entering a world of the unknown..... will be using a quest 2 in the meantime

Ah, good old Players Nr. 6, aka coffin nails.Thankfully I managed to give up the old ciggies six years ago, more money for sim toys
Many moons ago, I used an A35 as a race transporter. I took all the seats out, except for the drivers seat, and could just squeeze my Greeves Silverstone in, with my tools and stuff. Raced at Caldwell Park mostly, as I was stationed at RAF Coningsby not far away. Happy days

Overclockers UK have 3090s in stock, and they've been in stock for a while now. £1700 though. If they were not in stock it would be a simple straight forward wait, but the temptation is there to buy one of them instead of waiting.

The 3090 FE was on sale for around 4 hours yesterday at £1400 and AIB versions are popping up quite regularly on Amazon for around £1500 if you feel you have to go down that route. Don't get tempted to pay that OCUK tax!

I think I'm over the 3090 buying urge. The only problem with OCUK now is every week they get less and less cards. They seem to have stopped updating the thread saying when they get cards in, so I just have to sit and wait.

Got notification that cards came up on CCL but wasn't quick enough.

I got my weekly review of where i am up to. Last friday i was 209. Today i am 204. So i guess you're right.

Got my EVGA ftw3 3090 ultra two weeks ago, was in stock at a couple of places. There is more availability than the 3080s, they are rare as hens teeth

At that price i bloody well hope so.

I wonder how much more performance there is, if it's hitting the 90hz limit there. Would be good to see an unhindered fps count.

I can bump up SS further see but i don't like reprojection/asw or 60hz option so my first priority is 90fps locked

Maybe just a rumor, but still

And if it is also 7nm with lower power consumption.... Woo Hoo!

@Turk Next you are going to tell us Santa Claus isn't real!

During these tough times, people need things to hope for

I had my name down for a msi trio 3080 but the date had already slipped a couple of times.. New date was 17th dec but if it slips again who knows when.. You can pretty much go in to a store and get a zotac, pny, a few gigabyte eagles around but I didnt want any of them.

Patience got the better of me when a friend said he just picked up a asus tuf gaming oc.. so I went and got one as well. Didnt look at any reviews, just hope it was ok

Damn, now cooking dinner for the kids but I did manage to put it in and have a few laps.. Where my 1080ti wasn't quite sustaining 90 with the G2 and 80% SS this card was doing it right away hovering about 51% usage.. geez, cant wait to get the kids dealt with and see how much eye candy I cat put in and how far I can push the SS (this was in iracing)

 

[Trebormoore84]

a 3080ti might sway me to replace the 2080ti. I doubt it will be 7nm, think that refresh is another year away.

I have a code for a free copy of Call Of Duty Cold War to give away. I believe it expires tomorrow.

First person to reply to this post can have it.

Please note: You must have a 3080 or 3090 for the code to work.
