I got my 3080 and I fitted a waterblock to it and overclocked it

Hey guys.

Nabbed myself a card today and fitted the Alphacool reference block to it.

I took the air cooler off

Fitted this block

It's smaller than my 1080ti.

As for performance here is my tomb raider benchmark, top result is my 1080ti, bottom is the 3080 (all at stock)

And heaven.

My conclusion is "I'm totally blown away with the performance of the card"

My 1080ti under 100% load at stock is 41 degrees.
My 3080 under 100% load at stock is 45
My 1080ti under 100% load overclocked is 46 degrees.
My 3080 under 100% load overclocked is 52

Go away. Way too jealous. Seems you've had a nice chill day and I've had 3 cancelled orders.

Go away.

Edit: nice edit above, thought we could all get a 10 page go away train going.

Looks Good though.

Did you buy it in person from OCUK I assume? best method tbh....this launch was a shambles.

Nive post nice setup and great to see you're happy with the card, nice upgrade over your 1080ti and now looks like 1080ti has finally (incredibly after all this time) finally had it's day so to speak... it was one awesome card I'd say! Nice rig man!

not a huge fan of the number of bolts and the very visible seal but since its upsidedown and they are some solid temps, well done! Nice jump

I did at 2:00pm, I knew the website was going to be dead as always with a Nvidia new launch. I live 50 yds away from OcUK.

Hell no, I don't want to be the reason the earth is pulled into a black hole.

but think of the perfectly shiny flagpole on every single mine you sweep. And the gorgeously rendered, authentically lit explosion when you make a mistake.

I recognise that monitor too, is it an LG ultrawide? what resolution?

Yes 3440x1440

How do you like it? I'm debating going from the 29" 1080p to 34" 1440p.

Ace Modder · 17 Sep 2020 at 23:36

i love the wide screen aspect ratio, it is awesome. I'd rather have super wide 1440p over normal 4k res. The FOV is perfect for our eyesight.

CREATIVE!11 · 17 Sep 2020 at 23:37

Hmmmm,

Maybe instead of a 3080 i'll treat myself to a new monitor
