8K gaming with the 3090. Holy Christ.

And I love that the first game he tries is Doom...

The whispers for the 3080 have already started in my head.

MUST...

RESIST.

Sweet, appreciate it

I have been sitting in a discord for 7 days, trying to cop a 3080 with about 10k other people using it as a launching ground.

This morning, i patiently waitied for 8am and the 3090 launch.. no real intention of purchasing one, but, why not try just as an excercise in this whole meme-filed chase for these godlike GPUS.

And yes. I let me add it to my cart.. the site did not break.. and yes, it let me fill out my info, and the site did not break, and YES I got caught up in the hype and pressed checkout, and the site did not break...

and YES I GOT SO ****ING CAUGHT UP I BOUGHT A 3090!

Oh well. PCMR, boys.

Congrats on your new baby! PCMR.

Cool. Congrats on the card.

What is a discord?
What is pcmr?

Discord is an app "for gamers" to talk to each other. Kind of like a super slick forum on your phone (or PC).

PCMR = PC Master Race. You're in it. Congrats. :D

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Users Report Crashes & Black Screens During Gaming

NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 3080's launch has been plagued with a range of issues and as per the latest reports, buyers who did manage to get the cards at launch are now facing severe crashes during gaming. The problems have been reported at the majority of forums which include Computerbase, LinusTechTips, OCUK, and even NVIDIA's own forums.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Users Report Crashes & Black Screens During Gaming, Problem Specific To Custom Variants
According to various forum threads, the issue seems to be specific to the custom variants of the GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card. The main issue that is being reported is that the cards crash to the desktop while gaming which is commonly referred to as CTD. Some users have also reported black screens which are commonly associated with CTD's where the driver simply bugs out. There is no official response from NVIDIA or its AIB partners on the matter yet.

Some users have stated that the crash occurs when the card exceeds boost clocks of 2.0 GHz. We also had our Tech Editor, Keith May, face a similar issue with our custom GeForce RTX 3080 variant from Colorful which had to be returned and evaluated by the AIB themselves.

We can't say for sure if the issue has more so to do with the software-side or if the existing clocks speeds are just too high for the RTX 3080 AIBs to handle. We know for a fact that several AIBs were finalizing clock speeds even after the GeForce RTX 3080 was announced and clock speeds for RTX 3080 custom variants were revealed just a few weeks prior to launch. So it could be that AIBs didn't get the time they needed to evaluate the clock speeds extensively. The same is true for the GeForce RTX 3090 and GeForce RTX 3070 custom models since their clock speeds have not been finalized yet either.

fortunately i didnt go for a zotac or pny. Founder's edition has the 2 MLSS modules, so fully safe to go above 2.0 ghz, which i plan on at least trying.

So, I just recently experienced my first OS install on an NVMe PCIe M.2 drive. Holy shit, that's fast. 2400MB/s read speed. This is crazy.

Only $52 for a 500GB 3rd gen NVME:

I've got another M.2 slot on my mobo, I think I might get a 1TB to run games on, because this is just crazy fast.

Yeah those drives are crazy fast. This is first time I've seen them that cheap though!

Someone build me a gaming computer on the cheap for my golf simulator. Just need 1080p at 60fps. I will give you free positive rep for as long as u live
