30xx Series Founders Edition

kept refreshing, came back with option to put in basket and I think I finally got one. 3070. Was after a 3080 but this will do.

Yeah I said that when I got the 3060Ti, then they changed the rules, so now I'm stuck lol
 
I've bought a 3080FE and 3070FE. If you couldn't do it doesn't mean others will not be succesful.
Since the end of February? Because that's when the new rules of one card per IP/account/address/payment method were put in place. The limit was two cards prior to that.
 
Below suggests otherwise. If you don't know, then don't say anything, easy.

err what? I've been on partalert for ages trying to get one. only sharing what was on there and my answer was replying to the accusation I was after more than 1. what's the issue?
 
Thanks, I'll give 850 a go! I'm guessing zero stability issues?

Runs fine had it like this for couple of months.
After a lot of tinkering I didnt even bother doing the - curve at the start. Didnt make any difference.
I can do 825mv @ 1890mhz too.

I was going to list my 3D Mark scores which also shows avg Mhz but just noticed all my 2021 results have been deleted !

Pretty happy with 850mV @1920, gaming temps reduced to 70c. Could knock a few mhz off but thats cool enough/quiet enough for me.

Thanks again.

Same here.

3060 Ti was a paltry upgrade from a 5700 XT. But at least it gave me RT and DLSS. Just gutted it effectively rules me out of getting a 3080 at any vaguely reasonable price (unless OCUK do a deal, but given how many backorders they have for 3080s, that seems highly unlikely).
 
warning about the SAM Bios, applied it to my 3080 on a Tomahawk x570 (1.50 Bios) but didn't reboot it until the next day (when I'd forgotten I'd done it) and BIOS wouldn't post or enable the screens, with one long and two short error beeps. Happening to a lot of people, in my case clearing the BIOS worked to post. You need to disable CSM (so it's pure UEFI) and also enable 'above 4GB decoding', then it works on Zen2 for me (3950x). We'll the driver says so, haven't tried a game yet.

Strange that it won't post otherwise, they should have caught this.

even if you overpaid for a 3080 retail let's say 1k you could probably sell your 60ti for 8~900 so would still work out just under msrp for a 3080.

With regards to CSM if you are using SSD's then really you should be "pure UEFI" anyway with AHCI set as the controller (who uses legacy/hybrid with Windows 10 nowadays ;) ) and on my motherboard when I enabled Resize BAR - above 4gb decoding became enabled automatically so it might be down to the M/B manufacturer not following the correct standard so this part of the activation its not really down to AMD or Nvidia really.
