RTX 3080

Ghosthud confirmed that changing your order will not change your position in the queue.

Your position in queue doesn't mean someone behind you has to wait for you to get your out-of-stock parts. It gives priority for parts that are IN stock.

 

[NoverianSnowCone]

I would strongly recommend getting advice on your build if you experience overheating on the previous system.

The system has to be balanced for all the parts, if things are out of whack, you get overheating, instability and shorter life.

I think it was the GPU specifically, sorry if I didn't clarify. Temps on everything else were fine. I only came to realise this when I installed a newer GPU that the 980Ti ran abnormally hot, but again, could've just been the way it was made by Zotac at the time.

Was expected but now confirmed, my order date was 15th October as a point of reference for others

I am 52 business days waiting for a standard 3080, and today I was informed by the PC that I will not receive this year, to receive this year I would have to exchange for a GPU in stock, example 2080, or wait for next year. . has no ETA and no position in line ... so sad 😢

But how does it look compared to the teasers we’ve seen over the past year and what settings are you running? I’d be interested to see some screenshots if you get a chance 👍

on a serious note i did actually download it to see how it ran and looked this is with all settings on high ( rtx off etc ) on a 1080 not bad tbh wont look as good as a 3080 but runs fine so far average fps 60 - 65 fps on 1440p 144hz monitor

i did have a graphics issue where all the background trees were overlaid onto my hud but updated gfx card and its all fine now its certainly playable on a 1080 without to much issue but still going to wait for new rig this was more of a experiment

I’m actually quite impressed by that 👍

Yeah I also got this email, ordered the same day as you. Totally gutting but hopefully we get it early January 🤞🏻

I'm also on 52 days and have had email contact with PCS today, where I was asked to switch processor (changed from 5900X to 5800X). Just had a "in building" email, so my guess would be that you're probably not too far off building yourself, it's not going to be this year - perhaps the next batch of 3080s will contain yours.

Keep the faith!

weird, I ordered 12th of Oct, 46 working days now, standard 3080 + 5900X, I had no emails about anything to do with stuff like you guys got, no updates or "sorries" about the stock or before christmas build time

 

[NoverianSnowCone]

Does anybody know if the Strix 3080s are rarer than the standard 3080s? So does it seem people who are ordering one are receiving their order any sooner than the other?
Looking over benchmarks there seems to be few FPS difference at 1440p/4K (between Zotac Trinity and other AIBs) in most titles and temps seem respectable (without the fan curve altered). Feel like I'm thinking too much of it because we're all having to wait.

Yes the Strix 3080 are rare, @Ghosthud commented on the Strix 3080 earlier in this post and can be found here: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/pcs-posts-on-rtx3080-stock-position.75721/

The 3080 Strix cards are quite a bit rarer than the standard 3080s as per a staff member's thread here - https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/pcs-posts-on-rtx3080-stock-position.75721/

Any Strix GPU is in extremely short supply. The 3080's have literally had a handful delivered to date.

Appreciate the responses and thanks for linking the staff quotes. It's put my mind to rest a little. I don't mean to sound snobbish when comparing the Zotac 3080's performance to other cards because at the end of the day, they're all still amazing performers. Thanks for the advice all.

Any 3080 uses the same chip, there's literally no difference in available performance to the point you really need to worry about it. Even the top performing cards will only net maybe a few FPS difference at high resolution. And even then, you can just manually overclock a card if you wanted to.

Yeah I dropped them a message, maybe they'll update me on any timeframes of potential stock coming in to fulfill the order. I don't suppose any other part of my build is out of stock, everything is available on the builder page. Maybe they just turned off ALL emails for me, lol

Here is the 3090 with RTX on (ULTRA) and all the settings cranked. Also with DLSS on Quality. It is still buggy AF with some graphical glitches here and there but hopefully it will be resolved for the PC players.

Man, that does look pretty sweet!

I have no doubt they’ll gradually improve performance with a few updates, there’s no way they’ll leave it as it currently is, they have worked far too hard to gain their reputation and this game is too important for them.
