Won't be doing that, doubt I'll have the card long given what next year looks like!

That's because there aren't any. You shouldn't lose any sleep over it, though. Or performance for that matter.

Hey guys.

A bit late for the party I guess. Firstly congratulations to all the 3080 owners and best of luck for all the hunters out there.

I got lucky while writing a work email and got a sweet notification for a Palit 3080 Gmaing pro OC which I managed to buy at a decent price £740 arriving in 48 hours!

I already have a confirmed pre-order of a zotacTrinity OC with another retailer (which is expected 30th of Nov) and an Asus tuf 3080 with overclockers (queue position in 700s)

We all know how asus tuf have been s***t show and it might not come until next year so I want your valuable opinions especially from the owners of these models to decide between the palit and zotac.

I can't afford and have no intention of keeping 3 different 3080s and planning to keep only 1

Help would be really appreciated

I have a Palit Gaming Pro OC and don't have any complaints. The Palit has a max power limit of 350w whereas the Zotac only goes up to 336w so you'll likely squeeze a little more out of the Palit. When I was running it on air the max temp at stock settings was around 70-74c depending on the game. I have it on water now with an undervolt of 0.925 at 2025mhz with a max temp of around 45-55c depending on if I have the heating on or not.

As you already have the Palit on the way you may as well keep that and finally forget about chasing a new GPU.

That's because there aren't any. You shouldn't lose any sleep over it, though. Or performance for that matter.

You can buy PCI-E 4.0 risers to add to a vertical mount, certainly not cheap though:

A good quality PCIE 3 riser will be fine running at PCIE 4.

There isn’t any ‘logic’ in these, there just wires. It’s just all about the quality of the electrical connections and if they become too degraded by the time they reach the card.

Just buy a good quality one, if it doesn’t work just end it back, I would t worry about it being specifically marketed as pcie 4.

I remember seeing a video on youtube comparing riser cables and they were able to daisy chain a GPU off 10 or so good quality ones where as lower quality ones stopped working after a couple.

My card is arriving today, after two long months of waiting.

Really? Every single case I've seen mentioned has had problems which were resolved by forcing the link to be PCIE 3.
