I'm Too Excited

I suppose it will end in tears.

When I measured my case, some RTX cards wouldn't fit. I had 320mm of room because I had a front mounted radiator. Some cards are longer than this so my eventual choice was restricted by size!

So in anticipation of the new 3080 and especially the 3090, I moved the radiator today to top mounted. Gives me about 40mm more room!

Yeah, I know, I'm getting carried away, and just asking for disappointment in the next few days, lol.

I very much expect the 3090 to be too expensive. Well, not that I actually care about cost, but I do care about performance per £.

*sighs*

Still, it was a good excuse to clean the insides of the PC.

It's a cool story but this could have been posted in the mega thread containing all the excitement from other forum users.

Totally needed a thread of its own.

With the likelihood of these cards pricing, being excited for them is like being excited for your first shower in prison. :eek:

Would you still want the 3090 if they were also releasing a 3090ti?

OP's about to lose control and I think he likes it.

3080 will give far more fps per ££ compared to the 90, 4352 vs 5248 cuda cores for a ****load less!!

Kids have notoriously short memories and lack critical thinking skills...

He should have had two carcasses, then whilst frying the patty reminded them that they were made from the carcass. "Kids, you know that these things are made of this (points at 2nd carcass)... would you still eat them?" And probably they still would, because kids that age are muppets

The universal rule is they will only eat crap.
