Got a question/favour to ask. Would You spend few minutes and upload Gaming OC bios to TPU database. Quite empty there and got guy with EAGLE that will test if Flashing Gaming oc bios will do the trick for more power limit :)
https://www.techpowerup.com/download/nvidia-nvflash/
Only got 3090 eagle there so far if it goes for gigabyte.

GPU-Z doesn't work, says "BIOS reading not supported on this device."
NVFlash doesn't work, says "No NVIDIA display adapters found"

I noticed the supplier of my card recently put the codes on the 3 series listings, so I have been in touch and have now redeemed said codes, roll on watchdogs release day :D
They've really tightened up the whole redemption thing. Need to have the card installed, need to install, register and login to GeForce Experience, need to register and sign in to Uplay. I feel dirty now.

At this point I've just accepted that being part of the Google ecosystem for digital services as a starting point revokes any right to privacy I may have had without sandboxing so why not let a couple more companies have access to very controlled personal data.

Look like I'm going to be joining the lucky owners thread at last. Managed to grab a Zotac OC from a competitor yesterday and got the dispatch notice last night. On a van this morning to me!

Will be nice to not be living in the 3080 stock thread anymore lol.

Only two issues, one is that the RGB can break if you use their Firestorm software, so don't do that at the moment, and the power only adjusts to 105%.

If you want to overclock, then get something different, if you want a great card with a 5 year warranty, then the Zotac is decent and it's also one of the quietest. :)

Asus Tuf seems to be the most popular currently, but get in line if you want one! My 3080 is currently paired with a 4790k, so your 3600 will be fine. I will be upgrading to Zen 3 though!

Yes I've got one mate had a bit of trouble installing some drivers but that was due to a pcie extension cable it didn't like and had no problems since in terms of the cards performance. No crashing or stutters at all. Does have a little coil whine but it's not something that is hugely noticeable. Overall impressed with it so far.

I dont get why OC are so afraid of a 'competitors' name? If OC offer the best service, prices and overall value? What they afraid of? Or these forums only for censored 'open' discussion?

If Tesco had somebody inside their store shouting to everyone else that ASDA are cheaper on certain products you can bet they would be asked to leave.

I have the same card from a local retailer here in Abu Dhabi (I was lucky enough to win it)
But unfortunately after less than 24 hours in my system the RGB has stopped working....

I'm not too bothered about it though as I have pre ordered a water block from EKWB.
