The Ampere RTX 3080 Owners Thread

Anyone play warzone in here? I'm hearing about stutters and low fps on 30x0 cards. I want to upgrade - it seems like a good time to let my Titan pascal go if I can get 3080fe - but don't want to do it if the only game I play right now is going to be a mess...

There were stutters only fixed by putting textures on low around launch but a few drivers ago that was fixed. I play that game multiple times per week and there are no issues with it for me.

hmm, it still seems like a few peeps are having issues. Do you run it with g-sync too?

Upgraded from Pascal titan also to 3080 game runs fine solid 100fps @ 3440x1440 unlike my prior titan (gysnc monitor)

@ 3860x2160 I get solid 60fps (oled) older c7 preferred gaming screen.

Max settings both.

Wow man that is a hefty price for a 10GB card and close to what a 3080Ti will be! Anyway I hope you get your moneys worth from it, at least the search is over now.

Heafy compared to the founders but it's a beast of a card.
I was tempted by the one on a famous auction site the other day for £980 but when I check it would no way fit in my case

Surprising to find them below £1000 at the moment, even used

It's hefty even for an AIB card. I would rather just wait patiently and play other games than get scalped.

I had to pay a good chunk over RRP for my XC3 black and that was from the forest not a forest seller

I have a 2080Ti at the moment, what sort of performance improvement would I see going to a 3080, 40% maybe 50%?

If 50% and I can get a reasonable price for my 2080Ti (which i think i could as it's still got 700 days on warranty) then it would place the 3080 at £1050 going on a 50% improvement. £980 if 40%

I'm tempted to get a new 3080 at £1100 scalpage price and sell my 2080Ti on

Maybe 40% at 4k. It was a 60-65% uplift vs my old 2070 super at 1440p and the 2080ti was always about 35% faster? Probably more like a 30%+ uplift at 1440p.

Fixed that for you.

Well I wanted a card before CP2077 and thats what I got hold off, given the price hikes from EVGA it might not be that much more anymore lol

Sorry guys posted in wrong thread.

 

[Kaapstad]

Thought I'd better upload proof that I spent more money than I can really justify.

We believe you but this is the 3080 thread not the 3090 owners thread.

Any EVGA 3080s brahs in here?

I had a scare when my 3080 started black screening when running games or rendering. On the EVGA forums someone mentioned switching PSU to Single rather than Multi-rail mode. Seems to have fixed the issue, touch wood. Wonder if anyone here has experienced this?

My XC3 arrives Monday, snagged it for £570 .

I'm finally going to be part of the exclusive 3080 club. Still trying for a founders edition though.

 

[tommoT.Striker]

£570!? How-in-the? Dang that's some high-level snaggin'

Enjoy!
