No, it supports DDR4 RAM.

You are probably a bit CPU limited. But I wouldn't think that much. Why not keep a stable OC though? I'm sure you could easily handle 4.2Ghz at a minimum. I have my i7-9700k at 4.5 Ghz and it's stable and has mad a huge difference over the "boost" clocks that Intel will do.

I guess I'll be getting a 5950x.

Not necessary if your goal is 4k gaming, 3700x is good enough, different story if productivity work is involved.

Why would I not get a chip from the latest generation? It doesn't make sense to do otherwise if my intention is to maximize longevity.

Lower the resolution to 1080p if still not 60 fps your cpu is bottlenecking the game.

Didn't say you shouldn't, just not necessary for gaming. Longevity is under the question, am4 platform is nearing it's ending, in '22 new socket will be out along with DDR5 memory.

Very happy so far. Great thermals and just brutal performance.
Will turn off that lightshow though, PC is closed and dark, so no need for flashy lights.

It's the included anti sagg bracket. I was pleasantly surprised that it has one.

Interesting. Does it not have a backplate or is that in addition to?

80 or 90?

My PC is currently rendering a comparison-benchmark video. Hopefully I have it up within the next thirty minutes.

I really hope that EVGA auto-notify queue really comes through and I can get a 3090 this year. I'm not even that fussed about playing Cyberpunk day 1 because I know it will need many patches to work out the bugs but I'm hoping I can eventually play it? In 2020 even? We'll see.

Here are two videos of the same benchmark runs; one shows the data displayed in the upper left corner of the screen via MSI Afterburner and the other shows the frame rate displayed in the center of the screen via the GTAV application itself. Keep in mind that the videos are still processing.

In addition, here's the backplate.
It's a 3080. I shortly thought about the 3090, but I'm mostly playing at 1440p. So it wasn't worth the premium for me.

So, the shop where i bought my EVGA (kabum.com.br) was supposed to ship it yesterday. But now they say their shipment didn't arrive or something.

Where'd you get it from? Did you get it in person or online? I wanted this card (under PNY's branding, since I'm in the United States), but my order of it was canceled by Office Depot because PNY didn't receive the stock that they expected.

Germany, from an online retailer. Ordered shortly after it went online, one day after launch. It was then postponed indefinitely, the retailer had no idea when it would be available. And now, it suddenly arrived.

Finally played my first raytraced game ever yesterday before going to sleep. Quake 2 RTX of course.
It's kinda weird to look at a huge display in game, just to see the damn realistic reflection of an enemy approaching from behind.
Overclocking wise, there seems to be some headroom on my 3080, easily boosts to 2100mhz. Haven't tried to go higher yet. Don't know if it'll be worth it though, because the actual performance gains aren't that big. May just leave it at 109 power limit and the rest at stock settings. If a game runs at 130 or 133 fps isn't really significant.

I have no clue what the numbers at the top mean as u didn't name them. I got the feeling that 90+% number is your power % usage and not GPU usage. So u are better of naming the numbers.
Basically open msi afterburner and do the following: ( got a gif that showcases this below )
1) propperty's ( some chain wheel under fan speed mostly placed )
2) monitoring tab
3) scroll down until u find something called GPU Usage click on it
4) enable ( below window ) "show in on-screen display"
5) then enable "overwrite group name" and fill in on the right 1080ti usage or 3080 usage
I can basically name here more.
Fast example of how to name stuff ( this memory as the program can only record 7 seconds and i cant find gpu usage fast enough. ).
However don't pay attention towards the 2x names as i have stuff on the same graph line which makes it less clunky in your game, u can do that by making both override group names the same.
Anyway.
I tested your settings with my 1080ti and 9900k at both stock speeds and i was sitting at 24 fps as lowest with mostly around 30.
Tested it with the video i linked with reduced settings lowest i saw it go was 49 fps with mostly around 60. so that's basically double the performance gain.
Frankly gta 5 settings are absolutely brutal at max settings from what i remember. stuff like grass / msaa can destroy any gpu / cpu combination on ultra. This is why barely anybody really maxes all the settings in even youtube benchmark video's. Watched a few and all of them reduce the settings.

Firmware for the TV, you had an C9 right? Check out the TV thread for the LG OLEDs, more info where and how there.
Edit: https://www.neogaf.com/threads/lg-c...-sync-force-chroma-subsampling.1567399/page-2 has more info.

The "Sold out" button at the Nvidia website has been removed (for me at least)

Well, I honestly don't want to reinstall the 1080Ti just to redo the benchmark with labeled data. That would be tedious.
With default settings at 4K, I can maintain 60 frames per second on the 1080Ti. However, I chose to max out the settings for the benchmark in order to compare the two cards under the most stressful conditions.
So, you don't think that my CPU is bottlenecking the 3080?

LOL, I'm back at Micro Center to see if they have any 3090 FTW3s despite getting a 3080 FTW3 yesterday (since the former is what I really want)...and there's a line of 6 people here. I'm surprised because every other day that I've come here at this time, there has been only one other person here by the time that I arrived or sometimes none.
EDIT:
They had only two 3080s, so I've left. Also, they have a policy by which you can buy only one of each chip per month (e.g. one 3080 per month and one 3090 per month, regardless of brand). Hence, one person can buy one 3080 AND one 3090 within a month's time.

It's barely faster than the non-OC RTX 3090s from other brands; check out Guru3D's review here. I'm not trying to burst your bubble, especially considering that I still want an RTX 3090 despite having an RTX 3080; however, I'm just surprised since it needs an additional 50 watts or more of power for a negligibly higher level of performance.

Well, at least you have a brick-and-mortar store. Some people don't have that and subsequently must rely exclusively on online retailers.

I'm mainly getting it for the 2 HDMI ports and the Asus brand.
In the video they show a 7% improvement with manual overclock in Death Stranding. <.<

With the 2 HDMIs I can hook up the LG CX and the Q950TS at the same time without having to pull cables. I'm not expecting noticeable performance gains and I'm not planning to OC.
I pre-ordered at amazon for 1650€ so I'm not paying scalper prices for it either like I did for the MSI Ventus 3090.

A DisplayPort to HDMI cable is not an option? I'm not trying to convince you to reverse your purchase but am curious as to whether you considered this option.With the 2 HDMIs I can hook up the LG CX and the Q950TS at the same time without having to pull cables.

Could be but I've read about loss of VRR and periodic flickering or other oddities with adapters. If you know of proven solid adapter then I could take a look at it.

That's understandable. I originally wanted an Asus ROG Strix RTX 3090 as well, particularly because I thought that it would significantly outperform other models of the RTX 3090 and because I like the LED indicators on its power-connector ports.Could be but I've read about loss of VRR and periodic flickering or other oddities with adapters.

It reads out any gpu in your system. no need to swap cards.
The problem with default settings is it reduces the demand on the CPU also so u don't know at higher settings if your CPU will bottleneck or not. If you want to know that then do some tests or use msi afterburner correctly with labels so u know if your cpu or gpu bottlenecks at settings u like to play basically.
Don't want to deal with that, just lower the resolution on ultra settings and your gpu demand will go down and u will see if your get higher fps on the low end. if that happens then its gpu bottlenecked like i mentioned before and not your cpu at those settings, if the fps stays the same on the low end its cpu bottleneck. Either reduce settings and if u can't because u need higher settings upgrade.
Anyway good luck.

If you want 4K at 60 fps, just dial in the settings that allow you to play there. Getting into the weeds about whether or not your CPU is a bottleneck with benchmark after benchmark is pointless if you're not going to get a new one.
Overclock your current CPU and call it a day.

YouTube is currently processing a video of the GTAV benchmark running on my RTX 3080; the settings are the same as in the other videos but anti-aliasing is set to 4X MSAA instead of 8X. Also, the data has been labeled this time.
