Safe mode is perhaps unnecessary? Physx mentioned below (although it's an old post)

Installing drivers in safe mode a good idea? - EVGA Forums

Just install card and clean reinstall drivers, never had any problems.

This. If it’s an existing nvidia card you might not even have to do the latter.

The days of driver removal tools are long gone.

Finally got to play some games on my 3080FE yesterday, I turned the power limit up to 115, custom fan curve, 1 hour into Vermintide 2, system switches off. I had to toggle the switch on the power supply to get it on again. A power surge I take it, but on my 860 single rail power supply!!!

What clock/voltages are people going for on their undervolts? My card was boosting to 1950 so I'd quite like to get close to that.... 0.9v, 0.95v?

Mine was scheduled for tomorrow but just got a txt saying it will be here this afternoon !

anyone got any procedure tips for changing gpu’s my thinking is .........

create restore point
Uninstall precision x as it’s for my evga card
Run ddu and remove gpu drivers
Shut down pc
Remove old gpu
Install new gpu
Start of in safe mode
Install new gpu drivers

You can do all that if you want - but if you are running an Nvidia card and Geforce Drivers you can just put new card in and it will autodetect and should be fine - mine was okay when i did that. (not sure about precision x but if its EVGA specific i would uninstall that before sticking new card in)

System switch off = power supply can't handle the card

What PSU do you have? Like others have said, sounds like it can't handle the card without it tripping the safety switch

Ok guys thanks, if for some reason after I’ve installed the new card the pc won’t post what is the best thing to do as I was told this can happen but I don’t know enough to comment

If it wont even post check cables and check its seated.

Looks like the 3070ti just dropped in DE FR so I expect the 3070 ti to drop for the first time in UK later today.

Just a heads up

Looks like i was right

Just got my brother in law a 3070Ti.

corsair ax860 (made by seasonic I believe)

 

[Kanpai]

My 3080 has arrived, wont be able to install it until tonight though

Ahh the wait!

 

[Mickcas]

DPD confirmed delivery due today before 2pm. Still shocked I got one at all. Never mind next day delivery too.

Time to move my strix 1080ti on to a new home, won't get time to install until later tonight. Hoping my 750w seasonic can cope

Change it back to stock and give it a good test.

 

[MrRockliffe]

Now I managed to sort out the address thing (thanks @anderton46 ), I managed to bag a 3070 Ti!

My brother is gonna be super happy

 

[CaptainFail!]

Managed to get a 3070Ti. Actually can't believe it!
