See my predicament is I amended from the 3080 strix to the 3080ti non strix after getting an email like two days ago and I'm kind of regretting the decision as its an overall downgrade in quality control :/
you can always amend back, it should not really change your position.
Indeed as Spyder says, yes it will operate the same, if you dont overclock and it will run within operating temps, even tho those temps are higher. so for most people this does not matter as i posted above
It does all come down to if you're overclocking or not. The Palit and Zotacs will operate exactly the same as any other card at stock (within margin of error differ
I'll take both of your words for it and hold course, thankyou for the reassurances its highly appreciated
You also can't overclock the GPU under PCS warranty terms.i am sure you will be more than happy with your purchase, the marginal gains from overclocking are not worth chasing unless you are really enthusiast. We are talking about 1-3% difference maybe for much higher power usage and temps.
99% of people dont care, it is only the 1% that does overclocking, those people also tend to browse forums and reddit and such and thus are the loudest.
Happy players dont go to forum to complain, they have too much fun playing games
oh really? and how would they even know that this happened? Considering it is literally a profile in MSI afterburner? Well screw warranty, i am not watercooling my GPU not to tap overclocking
tho, considering how Boost works, the fact having higher limits, better power delivery and better cooling should provide better clocks even without manually tweaking profile in MSI afterburner
Actually, regarding this, you can get even more out of the GPU once you undervolt it. You find the lowest possible voltage to keep highest possible clock (base clock, not boost clock). By doing this you can get the GPU running cooler because more Volts -> higher hear. Now if you have lower heat, the boost you mentioned can do its magic better and boost even higher.
It's not the case with the 3000 series, they're locked to 2GHz with GPU Boost at the driver level. But even without that limit, the max available on the actual silicon is only a fraction over 2GHz anyway.

oh, cool, did not really looked into 3k series OC, just mine good old trusty 1080TI strix OC, thanks for the linkIt's not the case with the 3000 series, they're locked to 2GHz with GPU Boost at the driver level.

Tested: Nvidia’s new drivers fix RTX 3080 crashes
Nvidia's new Game Ready 456.55 drivers fix the issues we've had with a GeForce RTX 3080 crashing during games, but slightly limits the top GPU Boost clock speed.
wait there is talk about those caps, It was one of the reasons why i went with Strix, as they are not using those i think. I will have to look further into this later, yup strix has zero of those caps that were causing OC issues. So that card might be better at OC, strix cards use exclusively MLCC caps, so this do not have the crashing issue and should not have this overclocking hard limit due to crashes.It's not the case with the 3000 series, they're locked to 2GHz with GPU Boost at the driver level.

The 1000 series were insane overclockers! I’m still on a 1080, incredible cards!
The hard limit is in the driver, not the card, it’s on all cards. You can get hacked BIOSes for overclocking.
indeed, as i mentioned in some other thread, i do not need upgrade with my 1080TI Strix OC, it is just i want to, to get RT and such.
yup, only relevant for overclocking. As is the whole Strix and the fact it has flash dual bios option for example.
