im excited for PCI 4.0 and the HDD's and gfx cards that come with that. Hopefully we get some new CPUs/Mobos/gfx/HDDs that utelise it and dont cost a small fortune. will wait and see what 2021 brings, might be time to upgrade by then (VR is slowly getting better but more demanding).

(Soon I’ll look into two more sticks to fill my 4 slots. I’m not sure if I want ultra high power or ultra high memory amount for the new memory tho. I can go up to 5000mhz or I can go the other way and get lower power sticks of 64 each or something)

Monitor: 45in 4K 

Graphics Card: MSI Ventus RTX 3090 - 24GB GDDR6X (VR-Ready) {[stock it has 3 fans but I might go to water cooled with its own 360mm radiator. That means 2 360mm radiators in one computer]}

Primary Hard Drive- 2TB WD Black 3D Series SN750 M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD -- Read: 3400MB/s; Write: 2900MB/s

FURMARK SCORES!!!!!!!!!!!

 

preset 2160 - score 5341

preset 1440 - score 9396

preset 1080 - score 14021

temp never reached 60 C

 

If u want to know what I score on a different test just tell me what one to do and I’ll test it

 

If u have a 3090, or any 3000 series cards or know someone with one check out this thread on Tom’s hardware that I started. I’m trying to get people to post what scores they get for comparison but I can’t find anyone with these cards yet.

this post aged well.

looks like a wait until 2022 for a decent GPU at MSRP.

If you want to see a real joke - have a look at what people are paying for used 1080ti's / Titan XP's on eBay at the moment. Some of those Titans are actually selling for more than their original street price with 1080ti's going for around the $750 to $800 mark - insane for a 4+ year old GPU that retailed for just over a grand.

Even "used" (aka flogged to death ex-mining) RX580's that could be bought used 18 months ago for well under $175 are now selling in the $400 range.

If you are in need of a chuckle about the whole situation, I think this guy takes the cake in terms of optimistic pricing for a used GPU: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/203394909147   

  • Haha 1

Holy Shit ha ha. That dudes dreaming.
I managed to sell my GTX 1070 for $300 and i thought that was a good price seeing as it out performs the *new* 1660 series which are a ridiculous $600.

 

Funny enough... 3k for  a a pre built with a 2060 or 1660S... ~4k for a 3060Ti or low end 3070.

 

Even the prebuilds are getting to crazy prices, honestly you are better off looking at a gaming laptop these days if price and availability is your main concern. They have not seen anywhere near the same price gouging for mid range GPU equipped models as we have seen on the desktop. $2700 will score you a nice Ryzen 7 laptop with decent storage, an RTX 3070 and a 240hz display.
Sure it sacrifices the upgradability of the desktop but given the pricing today its cheaper as just that GPU will cost you a significant chunk of that entire laptop if you need to buy now. 

think that ebay seller spelled his username wrong, looks like it should have been 420seven

I bought my 3080 September 2020 it arrived March 2021 $1469 PCCG whilst my son bought his i think 1 or 2 days before me from CPL and his order eventually got cancelled

I sold my old 1080GTX for $465 on Ebay the week after i did my pre-order

Ouch that is a long time to be waiting on a card for!
How are you finding the 3080?

I ordered a 6800XT from PCCG on release day (19/11/2020) literally checked out 21 seconds after it hit the web site at 1am for $1049 - I think it arrived about 3 weeks later just before the CyberPunk launch. I pulled the same stunt when purchasing a 5950X and it seems as long as you are on it at the very second of launch you stand a good chance of actually getting one at MSRP.


Glad to hear the PCCG are still living up to their good reputation and filling orders at the agreed sale price rather than cancelling and price gouging on the cards. 

Thought maybe id contribute here, never really posted my PC specs anywhere before. 

Probably over-kill seeing as i dont game much anymore (maybe once or twice a month) and when i do its old titles xD

Pretty upsetting the Gigabyte GPU comes with a 1x8 pin and 1x6 pin, let alone them being a few CM apart. Havent found a clean way to wire that in yet 😢

Ran something very similar until the 6900XT died (Power Color Red Devil) sounds like you have the Sapphire Toxic with the triple 120 rad?

Now I am running a 3080Ti. handles everything but still might go to a 5800X3D just because.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
