Yup thinking that is my next weekend project. Hopefully by then I would've gotten my sinks and thermal pads as well.

Can't wait, make sure you take lots of pics of teardown and assembly.

I've seen a bios update for my mobo to enable resizable bar but will it work on a Zen 2 3800X or is it Zen 3 only.

Soooo 3090...verdict? I may have an opportunity to buy one but I’d build a whole new system to go with it if I did. Size is concerning to me (that’s what she said). Afraid it will be too big to fit in a small’ish case.

Hey acroig... your name is bold...

Nunz · Mar 4, 2021, 07:17 AM

It's looking more likely that we won't see any new cards this year, so I would buy the 3090.

I guess that graphics war between AMD and Nvidia never materialized as I'd hoped.

Hrmmmm... what about the size? What’s the smallest case I can fit the thing into without worrying about thermal issues?

KAC · Mar 4, 2021, 08:40 AM

A 3090 requires a mid tower unless you want an oven all year round that probably throttles like mad.

Grab it now. You might not be able to get a newer video card for a couple years.

Ya, rly. Sad state of affairs on both sides.

KAC · Mar 4, 2021, 09:19 AM

Nab a card pronto. These shite are selling like hot cakes. Average price of 3060 is about 850, 3070 here is now 1500, 3080 is about 2350 and 3090 is north of 3150 boners.

kboye · Mar 4, 2021, 01:59 PM

or start Deus Ex (the original), Baldurs Gate, Neverwinter Nights, a touch of Tex Murphy thrown in, maybe Witcher series, and by the time you're done we'll have 3080Ti post COVID Edition

Seriously. I almost finished Cyberpunk on an i7 920, spinning rust (cached by Primocache), on a 670 4GB card on a 1920x1200 IPS and some clever use of the DRS that's in. yeah, the 4K OLED RTX experience I finished the last part with looked and ran better, but there's some charm to pushing an old rig. The whole PC gaming scene is so low key now anyway might as well enjoy that backlog.

hm...never did try Cities XL.

Hrrrrmmmm

Was hoping for something smaller, but if that’s the lowest I can safely go that’s ok. Now I gotta research mid-tower cases.

If you can find one of the elusive blower cooler versions you may be OK putting it in a small form factor case.

They are becoming increasingly hard to find though because Nvidia got wind that OEM's were putting them in 1U servers instead of the more expensive Quadro RTX cards.

The market for these cards are insane, now 2k for a 3080 is very possible on flebay for my 3080 FTW3 Ultra.

And I drew the line at below 1K last year. At least I was able to score just a month after release at that price point.

Still glad I needed a whole new build at the time. Was able to get the whole pc with the 3080 right away for I think under $1800. Well right around 2k after swapping the ram.

**Exposed** · Mar 4, 2021, 08:05 PM

Man I'm glad I was able to get a 3080 at the time I did, even though I paid a little scalp for it. Makes the price I paid look like a bargain now, especially with zero availability.

I say that to myself everyday when I logon and read about how this fiasco persists.

I paid $700 + tax/shipping for my RTX 3080 back in October. That's unthinkable now.
