*** NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3080 SERIES STOCK SITUATION - NO COMPETITOR DISCUSSION ***

[WeatherCastCastCastCast]

I ordered my 3080 on the 12th October 2020 and I used amazon pay for the order. Would anyone know if I'm eligible for a refund or is it too late now?

Hi yes think you can cancel, just go to the home page (graphics cards) I think it's the fifth option down, updates on orders and how to cancel, alternatively send them a Web note and they will get back to you.

i just bought 32GB (8x4) of crucial ballistix rgb 3600mhz cl16 ram. would u say its a good match with my 5800x, also would u say it is better than other brands

Micron are usually strong with frequency OC, I looked at their high stuff. Ended up buying some trident z royal 4000/C15 ram.

It's my birthday today. I would appreciate it if the 500 or so people in front of me in my queue cancelled their orders as a birthday treat. Thanks in advance

Should probs mention the card bud

Nope, all card cancellations would be perfect!

Although if any of you are feeling generous, Asus Strix 3080 OC.

At least it can be narrowed down to two choices

Edit: bah, beat me to it with your reply. Only the "short" queue out of the two then.

Do u know if crucial is dual channel and if not does it matter?

 

[random_matt]

Do u know if crucial is dual channel and if not does it matter?

Yes, won't find quad other than X299. I don't believe sticking two sets of dual ram into a mobo makes it quad too. Quad vs dual? From what I have seen, barely any difference on a select few games that give a ****.

There was big discounts on micron stuff on prime day.

Do you mean single rank or dual rank?

Filling the correct number of memory slots on the MB determines whether the memory runs in single, dual or quad channel.

Yeh single ranked or dual ranked. Just came in the post today, not sure whether to keep or not. Apparently dual is better than single ranked so I’m not sure if it’s dual or not

I don't know. You'd be better off posting in the Memory sub-forum.

There were a few rumours going about that AIB's were prioritising the 3080Ti over the vanilla 3080 and no 3080's were coming out the factories with the 3080 maybe have been made EOL'd with the 3070Ti taking it's position at around 17% cheaper and 20% slower. I'm not sure if that will pan out like that (there's enough of a gap in performance for both cards to co-exist) but I can it's not beyond the realm of possibility for Nvidia and it's partners to pull that sort of stunt

If that's true they are probably only making those cards at the moment because they know they'll sell at a higher MSRP, which is a slap in the face to gamers. The thing I can't wrap my head around is that factories are working at 100% capacity, however retailer stock is non existent.
I'd like to know where the stock is if we've been allocated any, I'd reluctantly consider buying a 3080 ti if I was given the chance.

Edit: I suppose it doesn't help I only want an Asus Strix GPU

Is the 10GB VRAM enough for the RTX 3080 when playing at 4K 144hz?

The factories are going full pelt but there are other constraints that's holding up extra supply namely substrates being one of them (this has now been fixed) but supply is improving. Demand is cooling off a bit as gamers are slowly getting new cards in their hands so come August/September time you will have options but even then your still going to have to pay over and above MRSP to get one.

Yes. Look at Hardware Unboxed reviews they test loads of games I've not seen the 3080 bottlenecked by it's 10Gb of VRAM but that's not to say that within a year that will be the same.

How many years will the 3080 keep doing 4K 144hz in games or 1440p 144hz

The manufacturers are transitioning to the new 3080 LHR models. Lots have been announced

The thread definitely doesn't need dopey conspiracy theories.
