The Ampere RTX 3090 Owners Thread

I guess it depends on how much it uses system RAM - could try downclocking your CPU to 1GHz and ram to 2133MHz - i'm pretty sure it will impact your score
I think the main contributing factor is 2x8pin cards are limited in power to 375W

I've noticed things like colour depth can change results too (try 10bit colour). Maybe if i reduce resolution to minimum and minimise colour range i can score higher ;)
 
I have looked at several blocks and I prefer the EK one to be honest even though its was more money than the others. With a backplate (compulsory and free with some other peoples waterblocks but EK charge extra) you are looking at nearly £200 from EK. But EK have gone with contacts to cool everything on the cards - gpu, vrms, memory, chokes etc. Some of the other manufacturers waterblocks dont cover all the things the EK one does.

And I have never ever had an issue with ek blocks for the years and years I have used them.

The ideal solution would be to wait for reviews and see which cools best but on paper I have my money on EK.

But I dont think they are shipping until mid to late October?

Same here in terms of EK, back in the day it was Danger Den for me, since then, EK. I'm trying to pre-order one but their support is taking an age as my account is 'located' in the US and there is no way to manually update it to a new country. I don't really go for backplates, however, I might get one this time round.
 
Ah maybe yeah.
When I first got my FE my scores were very medicore so I thought I'd try a fresh instal of windows and it made a huge difference though, worth thinking about
 
Thanks, does this work? Got to get in the HOF! :)

To get on the Roll of Honour all you have to do is post a pic with your user name on it of your RTX 3090


 
What scores were you getting? May need to reinstall myself

13523 was my best before wipe so +436 points just from wiping.

Final settings were:

+100 core voltage
114% power limit/90 temp limit
+182MHz on core
+650MHz on memory

Still a bit left in it i think, havent tried fine tweaking on power/fans or OC'd my CPU/Memory yet (if that matters on port royal).

Note - This OC was not stable in games, benchmark only.
 
similair here. Still in my basket, I ordered earlier than you. All I have is my text saying I’m not getting one
Just been on the phone to these and they are saying that they received an email from the supplier this morning saying it is delayed and they need an extra day but I will get one. Looks like I'll have funds tied up for a while :(

What date/time did you place your order ? Presumably you didn't receive an "out of stock" text ?

I ordered at 10pm so definitely won't get one but they are insisting I will receive them. I opened an account just to order them, I've had a few emails since to use my credit, quite annoying giving me a credit account when I paid by card.

Well that's at least good if true. I'm sat watching their twitter helper feed their customer support and every post is about the graphics cards and everyone stuck with being processed. They promised me a reply this morning within 4 hours and still nothing from them, no cancellation or text or call or email. So what you have said maybe true. It's everyone that ordered a rtx 3080 and 3090 it seems .

So fingers crossed the ones that didn't get an email stating cancelled or a sms maybe still in luck. Seems people got them messages for cancellation pretty quick that got cancelled. I ordered pretty early. When did you order ? Mine was Wednesday at around 18.30 the order for a 3090 and I'm stuck in processing and people that ordered later got a sms or email stating their order was cancelled.

I noticed people that ordered more than one card eg a 3080 and 3090 have had a sms stating cancelled.

Did you order more than one card ?

Also did you open a credit account with them ? I paid by debit card and not had any of these emails apart from my order confirmation and when I registered to use the site. Also when I made the order about an hour later I got a call to confirm I made the order as it was a high priced item then I got the confirmation for my order via email. Again I was a new customer I registered just to get a MSI 3090 trio.

I placed mine at 5pm on Wednesday, I have spoken to someone today and they have told me that its taking a little longer to ship from the supplier due to back long on various things but it shouldn't be to long.

I'm in no hurry I will give it to Tuesday and if no change I will cancel.

Thats not fair. I ordered hours ahead of you and I got a text saying my order had been cancelled. GRRRRRRR
