Possibly last 3080 fe drop before the 12gb price gouge. Good luck everyone if there is another one.

Mine arrived just, however I can’t use it yet as I’m still waiting on my OcUK ‘collect at store’ order to be available, despite everything being in stock. It’s been several working days. Abysmal.

Ah fair enough, I guess the same values should work for me too.

I've also noticed that Phanteks will send you a 12 pin FE connector that goes straight into the PSU if you provide proof of purchase of both PSU and FE. So I've emailed them and see what they say

I've just ordered a new Phanteks PSU so would be interested in this also.

Heard anything back yet?

Also, do you have a link?

I only sent the email yesterday so nothing yet but I got the info from: https://www.techpowerup.com/273359/phanteks-offers-free-12-pin-gpu-power-cables-to-their-customers

Cheers bud, I'll have to wait until OCUK delivers my new gear to get the serial number for the PSU.

Their ears must have been burning as just as I read your reply an email reply came in asking for address details

I did not send serial numbers btw, just the order receipts and a photo of the card installed in the case.

So apparently the DE&NL drop lasted all of no* time.
* Where "no time" may not be a accurate unit of time but is close enough.

Actually, I think the 3090 and the pre-scalped 3080 Ti lasted a bit longer. There is no sign of this abating, is there?

I managed to get both 3080 & 3080ti into cart, but neither shops were shipping to the uk. I’m also a bit wary of the warranty situation, my German isn’t good enough to argue with customer services if something goes wrong!

I've just emailed seasonic to see if they can tell me how to get a 12pin cable. It's horrible at the moment with the 2 X dual 8pin PSU cables to adapter.

Thanks mate.

Sent an email and will await a response hopefully similar to yours.

Be good to clean up my cables.

Hope it was a massive high rez 150MP camera one too!!

mrk · 20 Dec 2021 at 21:27

That's silly my email outbox won't allow that large attachments!

It was 135MP

Horizon Zero Dawn on a 3080 Ti, at 3440x1440, everything maxed, with DLSS enabled, showing 10600GB Vram being allocated, and 8.5GB dedicated!

This is the reason I wasn't interested in buying a 3070/3070 Ti.

mrk · 21 Dec 2021 at 10:34

I haven't played HZD yet only ran the benchmark but that's crazy and more than Cyberpunk 2077 which for me at 3440x1440 max everything uses just over 9.1GB allocated+dedicated VRAM!

Thing is.. is HZD an AMD sponsored title?

Kelt · 21 Dec 2021 at 11:48

Even a 3080 couldn't allocate this much Vram!

Had a bit of a nightmare last night…had installed the cards and played some games and tried to reboot to check fan settings (seemed noisy) - pc got stuck in a weird boot cycle. Anyway…after totally forgetting to do the most basic check first (cmos) I proceeded to faff with removing non-residential bits :facepalm: Anyway, one cmos clear later and we’re back. Card still seems a bit noisy though.

Noisy how?

Fan noise or coil whine?

If fan, then that's why I undervolt.
