Aorus Master / Extreme (3080+3090) Thread

Just running the numbers... OCUK have shipped 20 (Generous estimate) 3080 Xtremes since launch, so with my queue position (86) the ETA for me to receive mine will be June - July 2021 next year if the stock doesn't ramp up considerably. Good job I still have my 2080.

As much as I love the Aorus stuff I left this queue 3-4 weeks ago from position 19th. Bagged myself a 3090FE within 2 weeks and truth be told couldn't be happier as my best Port Royal is 14128 at 44c.
Point is unless you want the beautiful aesthetics of the Aorus card? The coolers not going to give you much else, it's very well designed it's just Ampere is already so close to max abilities out the box.

I currently have 3090 FE and super happy with its temp (never goes above 68c in my closed case) and noise. But I cannot go beyond 13980 in PR so was thinking about getting Aorus Xtreme 3090. Looks like you are suggesting sticking with FE? I dont have a temptered glass case so looks are not important to me. Just want a quiet card with best performance. What's your recommendation?

Unless you are going for over clocking records or hall of fame? Save the money and stick with the Fe. Even if you get the current record around 14600 ish? the chances you will see that in day to day gaming are almost zero. I only spent time under volting mine to see how low I could get temps and power draw and the perk was actually a faster card. my 14128 vs your 13980 is zero real world difference.
The guys with 14600 ish are over clocked +high voltages and running 68c, im running literally 3 fps less for 55c and way less voltage and lower watts, I was in the game Satisfactory last night and 144mhz frame locked at 230w, 906mV and 1995mhz core locked so there was plenty of gas left in the tank too.

I put my manual fan curve in below I find it keeps the temps 10c lower and still cant hear jack as my card never goes over 60c with the undervolt, if I start to hear my card I know somthings wrong :D:D

Hope this helps.

I've moved another 2 places... this is beyond a joke now. Never using ocUK or Aorus again. The lack of updates is the most frustrating part. Wait a week to move 2 slots due to cancellations probably.
 
After last 2 weeks of dropping 60 places only dropped 10 this week :(
Doubt will receive in time for Xmas now.

AORUS MASTER position 59.
 
Queue position status for my Aorus 3080 Xtreme...... At this rate i would say June - July 2021 mainly because 90% of the queue movement has been from cancellations. At least i still have my 2080.

04/12/2020 - queue position 83
27/11/2020 - queue position 86
20/11/2020 - queue position 101
13/11/2020 - queue position 105
06/11/2020 - queue position 120
30/10/2020 - queue position 127
23/10/2020 - queue position 136
14/10/2020 - queue position 142
02/10/2020 - queue position 151
 
I've gone from 37 to 30 on the 3080 Aorus Master. The last 2 weeks showed quite a lot of movement so I was happy to wait but now I know that I'm definitely not getting the card before Cyberpunk comes out :(

I'm thinking that I might even sell the damn thing when it finally arrives and wait for the 3080ti (I only bought it so early so I could play CP2077)
 
Can anyone tell me, Gigabyte usually have more options in their software than just Quiet and OC. Are there more options in the software for the Master?
 
Yeah, when I ordered my 3080 Xtreme on 17th of September they already charged my account the full £910 on the same day as soon as their website was back online.

I am probably an idiot, but we are in the midst of a Covid recession. Aren't you worried you might lose your money? I mean it is a very long time for them to hold on to your money. Perhaps too long for any guarantees?

Not really, if anything the computer and technology market could be considered booming because many people are at home realising there computers or now work computers need an upgrade, plus it isnt going to turn into a dot-com bubble crash.
 
Anyone had issues with the LCD display on the Master/Extreme cards working randomly? Mine seems to work fine, then go blank until I leave it overnight, then works fine again. I have a feeling it's a combination of drivers/RBB software clashes, firmware and perhaps a board issue, as it might be connected to heat (but even when idling it will sometimes disappear. Reading around various forums it looks like a common issue. My 3090 Master works very well though in gaming at least! I don't want to RMA it until it's confirmed as a hardware issue and there is stock to replace (I don't even look at the LCD much but I want it working properly as I paid for it!)
