Now the trick is a) finding a 5080 and b) finding a 5080 that doesn't cost >£1400.I've cancelled my pre-order for the 5090. After selling my 4090 and looking at all the benchmarks again, I've changed my mind and will be going for a 5080. It's way too close to the 4090 for nearly half the price, and other than indiana jones with PT what do I need the extra 8GB vram for? There's only two recent GPUs with more than 16GB vram that can even do full PT at max res/textures. I'll get the 5080 now, spend the £800 saving on something else, and see what's happening next gen.
Time to get on the stock checkers again, fun
Also, getting frivilous returns on the bay is pure bad luck. I've had a 1080ti returned for no reason, that was months before the 20-series. I've also had perfectly working non-GPUs returned for no reason, so YMMV.

I also used it as an excuse, as I didn't want to pre-order and be waiting ages, would rather be able to order when they are in stock and can pick and chose which one I want.

Hey thanks for posting that. It seems the Zotac have been reported quite often to suffer from coil whine! I do wonder though by the time my card is finally manufactured and shipped - if it'll be 1 revision after the current produced cards?It was someone in here with a 5080 solid oc.
5080 & 5090 Coil Whine Thread
Everyone's favourite thread is back for another generation! The idea is to gain a wider understanding of coil whine and hopefully let buyers make a more informed purchase decision. This time around we will apply some of the learnings from last gen and try to make the testing less open to...forums.overclockers.co.uk
Not surprised so many have it really. My current 3080 fe does, though the fans drown it out.

I've been lurking on the forums for years now, wish I spent that time actually posting so I could access the members market...Board Usage
As we've just been discussing it seems common on all manufacturers looking at guru3d so I'm not sure there will be one without. Maybe revisions might help but who knows.

I was testing Indiana Jones at the weekend with Path tracing on the 5080 and didn't notice a problem. I think sometimes you can find VRAM limits if you go looking for them with an agenda, but most people will just change the texture pool size from super huge to very huge and just be fine.I've cancelled my pre-order for the 5090.

My problem with that game as I not got around to playing it yet as I waiting for this month’s update for DLSS 4 is that the cutscenes are locked to 60fps, if you are one frame above or below they stutter like crazy.
On my 4090 with everything maxed out with frame gen on I get around 80fps on DLSS quality mode, but a cutscene comes on it will disable frame gen and then the frame rate with dip well under 50fps and stutter like crazy, going to balanced mode hits just under 60fps and still stutters, if I use performance mode then it locks to 60fps, but the image is just too blurred.
No idea why they locked the animation to 60fps only.
Given that you can't even Preorder that with OcUK at the minute then they aren't actually charging £1800 for anything.
Listing != Charging.
(As opposed to the other company that has quietly added a "they can increase price of your preorder at any time clause")

Simple they are scalping..
They were doing the same on the 4000 series launch too.
But then other companies do it too - Look at the 9800X3D when you couldn't get hold of that CPU...
In that instance it was only OCUK who were selling the CPU at MSRP.

That same card was on pre-order before it went to out of stock, so some people did order it I`m sure..
Fancy cars ain't gonna buy themselves yo.
I ordered within seconds of seeing a notification and when I refreshed the page they were gone. Probably only had a handful.
and so were other cards cheaper cards, no-one had a gun against their head forcing them to buy a Rog Astral OC
