NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

Which is generally the best value brand with a reasonably quiet cooler?

If I were buying now I’d pick the EVGA just for their superb customer service.

They're no different from anyone else they just good at PR their reps posting in hardware forums, when it comes to actually trying to get what they promise its another matter.

Rep: "Any problems we'll cover it no problem, next day turnaround for forum members!". Contact them: "you're having a laugh mate!"

I'm asking about good value and a quiet cooler, customer service goes through my local retailer.

EVGA for warranty.
IMO MSI + Asus do the best coolers but their warranty isn't great from what i've seen.My old MSI 1080Ti gaming X was one of the best + quietest cooler's i've ever had. Same with the 980Ti before it, their fans are excellent.

I had just spent hours modding Skyrim too... *sobs*

Ok, no more laptops... when they go, they really go.

Hope it's just the PSU or gets sorted if not, no warranty?

I like the laptop route but as you say when they die its a pain to diagnose and or repair vs lego system with desktop pc.

To be honest, none of them are good value, they are overpriced as it is so I’d pick whichever brand you have a preference for, mine are Gigabyte and EVGA based on personal experience.

They will all add bloat to the retail price on launch, but with the MSI Gaming X Trio 2080 it was the best all rounder for the price at launch and quiet.

it was +£100 over the base models, but nothing like the £1000 ASUS STRIX OC 2080 launch price.

take this crap into the home cinema bit.

The "crap" as you put it, was in response to someone else. No need for the attitude btw

EVGA are still my fave, but it's a shame they have removed the transferable warranty on the EU websites terms for cards people buy now.

There’s zero incentive for them to price it cheaper than the 2080Ti was on release which was £1299-£2000.

We should really see the same pattern again, Palit etc being around the £1100 mark with the top tier anywhere between £1400-£1700.

Really? Thought the FE was £1099 at launch.

Yeah no come back when something probably a lot of good components left as well

Yeah it was, should have mentioned I was talking about aftermarket cards.

Sucks.

Definitely need to keep them backed up :s

Had that happen with my custom build Clevo gaming laptop - can't remember how long I'd had it but heat (I'm pretty sure) got the GPU and RAM in one go - one day it was fine then within a week both were showing signs of data corruption.

Some interesting stuff on Moore's Law is Dead. Looks like the 3000 cards could be a good bit faster. 8nm Samsung with 7nm TSMC just on the highest tier cards. By all accounts 2080Ti performance should be affordable, well 3060 tier. Looks like competition is really making a difference.

As usual, pinch of salt etc. but we could soon be back to those days I remember when your hardware could quickly become outdated. That's a double edged sword of course

Seems to be the other way around with 7nm TSMC on the mid-tier.

Just rewatched, definitely saying "most of the gaming line up on Samsung 8nm". I'm just repeating his leak though. Looks like some decent architectural improvements too as well as even better DLSS.

Edit: seems DLSS 3.0 works in any game using TAA. NVCache looks interesting too utilising RAM and SSD for enhanced load times. Up to 4x the RT performance per tier and double the Tensor cores per SM. 10-20% increase in IPC.

The info I have is basically the other way around to what is in his video.
