Been playing Cyberpunk2077 for last few hours after getting the 3080FE, everything maxed out on 1440p@100hz and all I can say is wow, what a beast! Temps didn't go over 71c which from what I've read is perfectly fine?

Didn't notice any issues with power or such either from my Corsair TX650M.

As pointed out, how can I do that when I don't know when the cards are going to drop?

Also the customer service guy I ranted at tried putting me through to fraud detection to discuss it, neither he nor me had any answer for over 30 mins so I gave up and decided to wait for the credit idiots to call me back to tell me 'you fail the affordability check for a £1200 credit card even though you've repaid £10k of mortgage in (under) 3 years'.

I simply would have tried telling them that I would at some point have an outgoing payment of either £649 or £1049 to (FE competitor site) and not to block it, but I can't because they won't even answer.



Its the same thing for every single bank.

It is

Barclays also use an SMS system to authorise payments so there shouldn't have even been any reason to have to call.

I don't do underwriting so can't comment on your credit worthiness but I'm not sure picking up and checking out of pattern payments is bull5hit.

I understand you're frustrated but you have to realise there's a lot more going on behind the scenes than one payment.

I also can't comment on customer service but yes I agree we've all hadt ***** service at some point.

If you have an idea for reducing the friction to customers but maintaining the level of fraud detection we might not have thought of I'd be happy to discuss it over a pint as it's what we do....
 
Installed my card I get to the windows logo and then screen goes black then comes up no signal ? It did come on earlier enough for me to update to new driver

panic over I had to repair windows on a restart for some reason !

I never had issues with this via HSBC. I recently paid 10k£ depozit for an A8 and got only a text to confirm plus my fingerprint :)).

Anyway, my 3070Ti came same time with the 3060Ti. The latest just got in my son's system and the first will go to my neighbour. Now we can all play Cyberpunk and curse the bugs.

I didn’t think there was any way to do this on the FE card

I managed to get it working with icue you can change the colour on the middle led by the fan and the actual GeForce rtx lettering can be changed to pulse etc and you can dim the txt but that’s only white

Thanks I had to update my iCUE software and I can now change it too, but updating has brought me another problem, can no longer see my H100i in there =/

I work in the industry, you can call them a day or a couple of days before to tell them and they can make an adjustment to allow the payment to go through the system unchecked.

Doesn't always work though. Before we went on honeymoon my wife told her bank where we were going and when as we were worried her card might get blocked. It still got blocked due to being used in Melbourne and to make matters worse she then had to spend a fortune speaking to them on the phone from Australia.

The fraud detection is good in general, makes total sense but the whitelisting leaves something to be desired, or at least it did back then.
 
Think I've worked out why my FE is spinning up the fans intermittently with some older games - seems related to how the UI is rendered in some older games which is causing bursts of the GPU producing a lot of frames quickly even though the overall frame rate might not be overly high. If I just leave the game idle is doesn't really do it but if I'm rapidly doing stuff during gameplay dipping in and out of UI elements after awhile it will either spin up the fans periodically or for longer periods.

Not sure why my older GPUs don't do the same.

Does it still happen with capped frame rate? Probably worth capping your frame rate 2 FPS below monitor refresh for all games that have this issue.

It seems to be a bit more complicated than that - you have to limit the frame rate lower than is ideal to accomplish it as it seems the way some older games render the UI produces quite uneven frame times over a whole second if you are quickly clicking through stuff while playing.
