    Anyone just given up on looking for a new GPU?

    Should be. I've got a 3090 FE with an 850W PSU, never had anything resembling an issue. That's with an i7-9700K, 16GB ram, wi fi card and a few fans etc. Unless you're running a nuts CPU and a load of bells and whistles you should be fine.

    Graphics card

    I can vouch for signing up for Telegram alerts. Seems to be the fastest way to get notified but it still very pot luck.

    So I managed to somehow nab a 3090 FE elsewhere. What are people's thoughts on sagging? Are others finding they need to use a bracket?

    Careful, mentioning competitors is against the rules. :p

    I mean, if they can't fulfil orders in a year I would be questioning their status as preferred Nvidia partners!

    No, I think you should always be honest, and specific where possible. The problem is, being specific in this case will lead to people being let down, no matter how much OC might try to qualify the numbers with "subject to change". People will see the numbers and get excited. If they're managing...

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

    30XX cards are literally the most in-demand product they stock though, demand is off the scale probably even compared to AMD's cards, which are also in high demand. I see why they're being vague on this particular product, is all I'm saying. I have sympathy because I work for a company that...

    You might be ok with that, but a lot of people don't think the same way. Person X sees they're 50th in the queue, and Gibbo says 51 units expected in next week. He can qualify that all he likes, but Person X still books time off work/orders other stuff to finish his build/just gets excited. Then...

    This. They're between a rock and a hard place really. If they give specifics, and inevitably get let down, people will be annoyed. If they keep things vague, people will be annoyed. I blame Nvidia for botching their launch more than anything.

    Yeah, I think there's only been one major delivery of about 150 or so Gaming X Trios. A couple of other small shipments here and there too. A competitor seems to think another big one is coming in early December so there might be another one to look forward to before Christmas for a few MSI...

    TBF my queue number's been dropping by about 50 every week. Although I am still 619th in the queue!

    Getting hold of a 3080

    Demon's Souls is the only system seller really, and if you're not into that sort of thing there's not much for you. Maybe that Spider-Man spin off. The capabilities of the controller and sound sound exciting but it's all potential and very little reality at the moment.

    The thread which sometimes talks about RDNA2

    The fact that the new consoles are making such a big play of it tells you that it's the way games and game devs are going in the future. Gimmick or no it's here to stay.

    The thread which sometimes talks about RDNA2

    This is sort of my thinking as well. If AMD had a card that was anywhere in the same ballpark when it comes to RT, it would've been all over the presentation. Same with their not-DLSS thing.

    The thread which sometimes talks about RDNA2

    And Nvidia will have no one but themselves to blame for this shady paper launch bobbins. They really handed AMD an open goal here. As I said, for my needs the 3080 is better all round but I foresee a lot of all-red PCs in future.

    The thread which sometimes talks about RDNA2

    Maybe I'm looking at it with green tinted glasses as someone in the 3080 queue but I wasn't blown away. I do think they look good - albeit the more impressive numbers come with the SAM compatibility and Rage Mode, and I think a ray tracing deep dive was conspicuous by its absence - but my main...

    Logitech G Hub - a piece of crap

    Add me to the list of people having problems with G Hub - I can install it fine, but I can't update the firmware. Every time I do, the update notification at the bottom just freezes and never does anything. It also crashes all the time. I've reinstalled it a few times, got nowt. Going back to...
