whats the warranty with FE cards, as that might be the deal breaker

Do you guys think the 3090 graphics cards requires a support bracket to hold it up in the case, like we used to have in the good ole days?

A bit of thread, colour to suit.

exactly you need to see the performance impact on frame rates as opposed to how much a vram is requested

Microsoft FS2020 is practically beta software anyway at this stage its still DirectX 11 for goodness sake with all the threading constraints that entails

BigBANGtheory, check the conversation I started with you, thanks

Im liking the MSI Ventus offering (purely based on looks). Wish it had just a little subtle RBG but can live without. Might go gigabyte gaming when I see more pics.

The Zotac Trinity is the same price, has a better 5 year warranty, comes with a full metal jacket, and has RGB.

Looks like the one I'll be getting.

Just out of curiosity...

How many people keep their card for 5 years? Can't say I ever have.
Mind you, can't say I've ever had a card break either.

Just seems a LOT of mad love for the 5 year warranty and I'm sitting here like, meh. what am I missing?

Saw that. They'd better hope Space Ape doesn't spot them or he could be getting the ban hammer out!

Three years and it comes with a free game and 12 months of Geforce go.... but I think the free game will apply to most of the major outlets too, you just need to claim via the Nvidia website, the free game is the new Watchdogs from Ubisoft.

Space Invaders. Need to make sure that doesnt appear first.

Probably not many, though I'm well into my fourth year and if Nvida hadn't been made to see sense with the 3 series, I was quite prepared to wait for the 4 series.

And the warranty, yeh, I have none now, so if it breaks, my loss.

If it was a Zotac, it would still be covered.

And of course, adds to the resale value, so what's not to like?

Does Zotac let you take the cooler off?

And yes, I knew about Ampere, and yes, I knew it would be much faster and cheaper.

Oh right, sure.

This time, it will be Space Invaders Revenge....or maybe even Pacman

The pricing doesn't make sense, if AMD are gona come in cheaper than the 3080, and have more vram, why would Nvidia then, increase the vram on their card, but price it even higher (by adding another £350+ to their card, thats already beat on price and vram).

One school of thought is AMD won't come close to the 3090 so Nvidia can charge what they want. Big loss of face if Nvidia have drop the price of the 3090 by hundreds.

Useful for when you come to sell it.

Indeed, for me 3 years with decent RMA service will suffice. The longest i've ever had a GPU is this 1080Ti since release, if it went bust now then oh well nevermind.

Just remember the 3090 has memory modules on the back of the card so anyone trying to use their own AIo is going to have a bad time with over heating memory

iirc basically all 3090 coolers are now using new cold plates and heatpipes that transfer heat from memory modules at the back of the pcb into the backplate where the fans push the air through - stick an AIO and those memory modules have zero airflow and no heat transfer sadly

gamers nexus specifically mentikned he will be testing memory temperature as he believes someone is going to **** up their cooler design and not cool the memory at the back properly, it's a new design and some of the AIB won't know how to deal with it

Side of the GPU. Not on it

Can use their standard Plexi blocks , change stock terminal for PUMP terminal and DONE !
