The Ampere RTX 3090 Owners Thread

@Tafder - is that a single power cable with daisy chain I see?
I would probably run 2 independent cables there if I were you

Thats a good shout, will do it once i finish copying files. The dangling plug will annoy me though. Thanks for the spot!

Having said that, had no crashes gaming the last few days.

Got mine a few days ago, so far so great

Is that a 3080 or 3090?
 
Any word on the Alphacool AIO cooler for 3090?

They are not power hungry after you overclock them either.

Power hungry is using a 10980XE overclocked, that does use a huge amount more watts.:D

Got systems with both the above CPUs and very much prefer using the Ryzen one.

Oh for sure. When I say hungry, its only 250w - quite considerable for anyone with a 650w-750w PSU and wants to also use a 3090. But of course the 10980xe takes the cake as those overclocked are over 400w

Off topics slighty, well not loads as got 3090 on order too, but what sort of clocks you attain with 10980XE. Got a cherry picked and delidded 7980XE from 8pack so curious what if any upgrade I could see.

Suspect with this CPU and couple of RTX 3090's my AX1600i may not be enough overclocked :D:eek:

My 10980XE reaches exactly the same overclock as the cherry picked 7980XE I got from 8 Pack, they can both reach 4.8, the IMC on my 10980XE is not that good and will only do 3200mhz.

As to performance the 10980XE has a tiny bit more but no where near enough to justify an upgrade from a 7980XE.
 
Darn it. Been offered one of these today from another retailer, and I’m blummin tempted but already picked up a 3080 and can’t really be bothered having to sell it.

Anyone noticed any big benefit that should twist my arm?
