I managed to pick one up in the recent drop, was really surprised that I was able to get hold of one and even more surprised when it was delivered today - I expected it to come (if at all) tomorrow!

Nice one. So the 10GB thing didn't make you change your mind. :D

Why would I, has there been any new piece of info that would make me reevaluate? Nope :D

I always said it is not an issue for me as I will be upgrading to a next gen card and 10gb will be fine until then.

I am actually surprised that you even pre-ordered one as the 10gb thing seems to be a big issue for you, in your position I would sell my monitor and get one that does both freesync and g-sync and buy a 6800 XT. Have you considered that or do you just not like AMD cards? :)

I get what you mean. But that sounds all rather expensive.

I also like the Nvidia ecosystem and think over all they have the better package.

I recon what you should do then is wait another 3-6 months and nvidia will release a 3070 or 3070Ti that will have 16gb and be more in your budget and give you the piece of mind you desire :)

So MSI Ventus landed, yay!
Anyone OC'd yet and what settings?
Click to expand...
You mean it's delivered, or they are sending it today? What was the issue last week when you had no dispatch notificiation?

I have tried overclocking my Ventus just to experiment with 3DMark. Think I did up to +150Mhz core and +600 mem whilst testing. But currently I am running at stock, as it's more than enough at present. No sense overclocking it until it fails to perform. Highest temp I've seen it get to with default fan curve is 68C, but it does much lower temp if you set the fans to 100%

My Trio was delivered to the wrong address earlier today, I doubt I'll ever see it.:(

I think most people are honest. if they see it's not addressed to them, they will either take it to the intended recipient (if close by) or get courier to take it. I know I have in the past taken parcels to people that were delivered to me by mistake.

I hope you're right, I wouldn't want to wait much longer for another gpu to be sent out to me and take someone else's intended gpu.

Yeah its been delivered just got notification late, phew! I will likely do the same as massive jump from 1070, but heard power limits are low compared to EVGA etc.
One query if you can help? Is it best to uninstall drivers and Afterburner before fitting new card or no need?

MSI Afterburner offered no option to increase the power limit for me. I believe you should be fine just swapping the card if you already have latest drivers. It didn't work initially for me because I hadn't realized that the PCIe extender I was using only supported PCIe 3.0 and the 3080 uses PCIe 4.0 by default. The card just failed to initialise after installing drivers. So I ended up reinstalling the OS to try to troubleshoot it before I finally found the cause. I think if I didn't have that problem though, it would have been fine. The drivers did detect the card, it just couldn't initialise it due to the PCIe communication failing.
