BB is still toying with me about this 3090. It keeps showing as available and can be shipped to me or picked up at the local store, then I go to the checkout then they're like "just kiddin!" and want to send me across the state for one again....

I'd rather hike the frozen tundra to get a card than venture across Georgia and through Atlanta for one...

Really? Dumb that they won't ship it to your local store, I'm able to pick mine up at the Savannah location.

Man I hit my numbers pretty damn close for just eyeballing a picture.
Electricians around here used to code upgrade panel services for ~$2500 for 200amp. That didn't include wiring a house just panel and shit for the electrical company to come attach meter/line. Did include breakers, so electrical was probably a one time fee of ~5k or so.
Watts on devices is almost straight heat so if the cards are pushed max, each one is a little 250-350watt heater.
I cannot stress how much heat 75+ of those buggers must put out. In the winter easily offset if he lives someplace cold by forcing in outside air.
I don't see them running in the summer or a hot place in a house though. Even with central air and a powerful window AC or 2, it would be climate hell zones.

You don't mine at 100% though.

Yeah I dunno what the deal is. Local for me is actually the Chattanooga store. The site said I could do curbside pickup next Thursday, until I click the TAKE MY MONEY button, then it says no and wants to send me to either Knoxville or near Atlanta.

I don't mind local but I keep coming back to this thread after it's sold out. sukik sukik got one and used email aka snail mail 2.0 to tell me it was in stock instead of texting. He's such a Luclin Model.

Next time I'll use a faster communication method.

I was in such a hurry to check out I have to drive an hour to get mine Saturday because I didn't choose the closest best buy. But it'll be through peaceful rural Arkansas, so it'll be a relaxing trip.

3070 came in today, nice card. Not quite as good as my 3080 but it was like $300 cheaper, even cheaper considering street values of 3080's at the minute. Throwing up 3080 on Ebay now and hoping to snag at least $1k.

I wouldn't know, but at full power those cards would use ~$2200ish a month
The article said just over $1600 so it is not idle either.
yes, you usually try to run at 60-70% because those last few % don't bring enough mining power to warrant the massively increased power output. Better run more cards

Got my 5900x yesterday. Replaced the 3700x. 0 fps increase in Cyberpunk. :p

But seeing as I got 80% of the money back from my 3700x sale it's all good.

Sell to hekotat or some other unlucky forum bro. You may make one of the bars on my next rage chart, which way the bar goes is up to you!

Wouldn’t you only expect FPS increase with a GPU change? I thought CPU effect on FPS was minimal at higher resolutions.

Sell to Heko and don’t risk getting scammed on ebay IMO.

I got one of the 3090's this morning from Best Buy online, but about an hour later I came down from the bloodlust and cancelled my order. I have a 2080ti. I need to control myself at least until the 4000 series.

Yeah surprisingly my 1080 TI is still getting 105-110 FPS on my 27 inch 1440p Asus monitor in games like Warzone etc

It’s a workhorse of a card.

Yep, have the same card and for the gaming that I do, it would be fine. I just really want DLSS, as it's such a huge boost for the newer games. If I had a 2000 series card that could do DLSS, I feel like you could limp that card along for another couple of years because of DLSS alone.

Whered you sell yours? Just received my 5800x.
I sold on a Swedish nerd tech forum. I see the 3700x sell for around 250-290 euro (new price around 340 euro). I got 270 euro or just about, sold some ram also in a bundle.

Hateyou Hateyou Yea I did not expect much of an improvment with a 3080 in the case, it was more of a "I want this generation cpu and gpu" thing. I did notice some better performance in AC Valhalla though. Not tried Watchdogs yet, it seems it used the cpu more than gpu for some reason.

Forgot to mention OC’d in 1080p it hits 144 in most games on medium and most single players on high/ultra. I play FPS so I don’t want ultra on anyways. Once I went to 1440 for shooters it was perma rip to 1080p (unless your going for 240+ FPS)

I’d like the 3000 series just for the 20-(maybe 30) frames boost but it’s not that big of a deal. I just want the freaking card like a lvl 1 needs GEBs day one TLP to show off at Noob log.

I haven't even OC'ed my GPU. I should download MSI Afterburner or learn EVGA's Precision X1 software to make it easy? I also game at 1440p, and plan on building a new computer, but yea.
