The reason I would spend so much on a card is mostly due to noise. But the 3080 trio is way too much compared to some other 3080s. I am on the fence of picking a half decent 3080, undervolting it a bit to keep temperatures down and getting an optic dp cable and active usb cable. Like oyu said it gets hot and in the summer it gets really hot with a comuter in the room.

Vertical mount and a third party soft cable instead of the rigid one it comes with would be enough to keep it mostly out of the way.
Get yourself a custom cable I wasn't sure at first you dont really see it but I ordered one tailored made and took a few weeks but so glad I did.
Oh dear, I got a really silly question for you all - Bare with me, it's been a while since I last upgraded
I'm moving from 1080Ti to 3070 -- Do I need to uninstall the Nvidia drivers before I install the new 3070?
Nope, I'm assuming your drivers are up to date any way yes?
Yep all up to date - So it's just a case of switching the GPUs over?

Only thing I wouldnt know is would the driver know its got new features to unlock etc. so would use a new driver and select the option to clean install so it removed the last one properly.
As long as you have recent drivers that came out after the 3070 then it’ll be absolutely fineOh dear, I got a really silly question for you all - Bare with me, it's been a while since I last upgraded

Did the same move, I just ran the installer again for the latest one and picked the clean install option.
Funnily enough, I noticed the latest drivers included the fix for the flickering issue for the 1080 Ti, one reason why I wanted to move away from it.
Just booted up Cyberpunk - Raytracing really is so beautiful 
But I just tried DLSS... To be honest, I felt like I could tell the difference really easily (in the quality of the image) - I haven't tried "Quality" DLSS yet, but I'm not sure I'd use Performance, as I feel like I can notice it, especially during fast movements of the camera angle. It doesn't feel as ground-breaking as everyone seems to make it out, but I've only tried it in one game, so I can't give a full view on it right now.

Make sure you turn off Film Grain, and Chromatic Aberration, those with DLSS = hella blurry.
I'm running it at All Psycho, and Ultra RT at 3440x1440, DLSS Auto.
Performance DLSS upscales from quite a lower resolution render, Quality is higher res. and seems to be the sweet spot if you care about eye candy (from watching in-depth reviews).
BTW, someone mentioned coil whine - do any of you have that problem? My 3070 seems silent, at least from about 1m away (have to stick my head in my case to check).

No coil whine here.
Had whine with 1 x 3080FE and 1 3090FE. On same power supply (AX1600i) 2 x 3090FEs and 1 x 3080FE different did not have whine or went away. So in my experience can happen, just down to the luck of the card you can get IMO (if its not the PSU)

Yeah, I'd never use anything other than quality. Dead easy to notice otherwise.
