The Ampere RTX 3090 Owners Thread

DPD is generally pretty great on the UK Mainland.

Whats everyone using to monitor their setup and tweak voltages?

I tested on a game of Warzone there, its using about 150w more than my Vega was at the wall (total power draw 500w). The vega was dialled in though - undervolted with small clock on the memory. I think I can drop this down 50w.

After giving up waiting on the 3080, the performance lacking in the 6800XT RT department and seeing the requirement to run Cyberpunk @4k I decided I had no other way forward than to bite the bullet. Please add me.
This card really is a work of art:

Also I wonder if any-one can offer some advice, I think I know the answer - CPU limited

I'm running my 3090 @ 170 core and 500 Mem on this test and my system is pulling 16900@ can't break 17K, is this due to my [email protected] and the fact this benchmark runs at 1440p and I'm slightliy CPU limited? I see other 3090's pulling more.

Port Royal score is in the middle of my fellow 3090 owners so no worries there.

Thanks

Agree, its is SO heavy lol. I couldnt get a 6800/XT and the 3080's havent been in stock for weeks so totally dont regret it one bit. Just tested my mining ETH it hashes 106Mh/s on stock, what a beast.

Many of us are in the same boat I think what I wanted was a 6900XT but I think the chances of even seeing one before sometime next year are next to nothing.

Whats on the market to deal with the horrible stock 12 pin power connector?

Corsair do a cable for there units. Seasonic also offer a cable if you can upload the receipt, though think window is closing soon. Can just buy sleeved cable from elsewhere. I got mine from Moddiy in Hong Kong based or orders in past, know few others got there 8 Pin from them too, on this forum aswell. Very well done, choose colour, length, PSU (if you want it to connect directly into that) or just an extension. Can take about 2-3 weeks to arrive though, but looks top class. Not got that heat shrink look etc.

Personally love there silver wire finish, sleek and very neat looking.

OK so after today it didnt update on the tracker by 10:30am I rang the local DPD site. After about 3 mins of ring a guy answered. He said its out and the scanner thing is offline the guy will update his route accordingly.. so without any more boredom of what I said to him he said it will be with me today. I went to pick my son up from playschool and came home and it was on my doorstep lol.

So here she is:

This is no ****, it flashed up on my phone right now (13:10) the DPD notification (I have installed it in my PC as it came at 11:30)... PMSL:

Please spare a thought for us over the water, where DPD is horrendous and why I hate companies using them without offering an alternative.

Welcome and on TROH.

The Roll of Honour.

anyone regretting there purchase? I feel like if the 3080ti comes out in a couple of months with 20gb vram ill cry, i have a 10700k 32gb but a 980ti, its a hero but its days of running 3440x1440 are over, the 3080 is the card I should get I know but the 3090 is actually available and the games I run I have to run potato mode and even then I struggle with games like bl3, suck it up and wait few more months or pay double the price of a 3080 for 10% gains I am so tempted too say **** it but also the 3090 feels like such a rip off at that price especially compared too the 6900xt presentation, not been this undeceive about a gpu in forever lol

Regrets? I've had a few.
But then again....

i did the same thing yesterday, did you get one of the non OC models? read on this thread that its a good card and can run the OC bios if you really wanted too, not sure its actually necessary.

Hakanese · 26 Nov 2020 at 14:01

Yep just installing it now. But need to rummage through cable box to find extra pcie cable
