R08ST ME

4080, I bought one

I wanted a 3080FE back in 2020, I fell in love with it. But I couldn't get one. And by the time I could get one in 2022 the mere thought of the opportunity left a sour taste in my mouth. So I did the next worst thing and purchased a 4080. So in lieu of a 4080 owners thread I present to you the 'R08ST ME' thread. Go crazy.

Yep nobody cares, just for fun tho

Not sure why the hate for the 4080. It actually feels like the most sensible choice for high end card rn

Someone else take a turn. Let the hate flow through you... Hello there! Yes, star wars references.

If I buy a 4080 I'm not sure I'll admit to it in any forum list, It'll be a dirty secret.

What happened?

Wucked · 27 Nov 2022 at 22:33

I knew this was coming. I decided to lean in and own my idiocy

TNA · 27 Nov 2022 at 22:46

So like, why not a 4090?

I own an older 3440x1440 100Hz monitor (7 years old?) with a G-Sync module and decided to downgrade to 1440p Adaptive Sync for versatility. I wanted the few hundred squid for that.

if youre downgrading to 1440p wouldn't that cracking deal on the 6900XT for £650 be a better choice? not trying to knock you or anything just more of a curiosity. I think you would still be able to use adaptive sync not sure how it works with Nvidia, i know AMD Freesync supports Nvidia cards not sure if it works the same the other way around.

Enjoy your £700 worth of graphics card.

Good, good! Let the hate flow through you!

I had a good think about that, I'm thoroughly enjoying my 5800X3D. And I plan to upgrade my CPU Mobo to the AMD side in the future. I've had a great time with Ryzen.

Enjoy it, but I just don’t really get the 4080 at current price points! It’ll definitely see a price drop at some point, just try not to look at that part.

greatash · 28 Nov 2022 at 04:33

I might get one after the inevitable price drop on the 13th December :cry:
