So I got my PC yesterday and I had completely forgot you warned me about this and the exact same thing happened to me !!! I completely panicked, I thought the GPU was knackered.
I eventually realised it could be the monitor and tried a spare one I had and of course it worked.
It was only...
Mine went from building to testing in just a few hours this morning, so I think they must be firing through them really efficiently.
Hopefully yours is already building and it maybe just takes until tomorrow to get formally updated or something!
I have the same Processed and Pre-Production date but no update on building yet, but expecting it soon I guess!
So now I'm having a crisis of confidence.. do I change my Samsung 980 to a Firecuda 530 before it's too late?! Someone talk me down from this precipice!
Just to throw a few cents in..
I remember when I was buying my first automatic car a year or two ago (had been driving manual for 10 years) I read into what the best practice idling at a red light was.
As I understand it, most people just hold their foot on the break. A bunch of people go into...
I’m not an expert like the other guys here but I would imagine both cards will last long enough to become obsolete. I would be surprised if these temperature differences would cause a card to fail early.
If that is a concern though, I would suggest don’t go for a 3090. The money you would save...
I posted in here when the warning about the expected arrival date of the 3080 (15-09-21) disappeared and that's when I ordered. I suspect the disappearance of that message may have been in error, or perhaps it wasn't put back up quickly enough when orders outstripped stock so some people weren't...
Just gonna throw in some notes before I start work, if no one minds..
Possibly been mentioned before but I really loved The Witcher on Netflix. I know it has its issues but I still thought it was great.
Vigil on BBC right has been really good.
Loki was good fun if you like the Marvel stuff...
I'm wondering this too. My understanding is the 980 PRO needs to be in a PCIe 4.0 slot to achieve maximum speeds, but I'm not an expert so would be keen to hear others' opinions.
Hi Danny,
Just to take a slightly different angle on this, I would double check what your wee boy wants the gaming PC for. At that age, gaming with friends is a great thing but in my experience most of the kids will be on PS5 or Xbox Series X, so they might be more worthy investments in the...
@SiAdams I think we have the same monitor and I have ordered an almost identical build today !
.. Actually I think only the m.2 drive is different, I went a single drive @1TB.
I actually haven't ordered yet. I'm looking to get a new build as a birthday gift so if there was still a significant wait I'd need to order now. Likewise if the stock is available then ordering now would be way too soon !
I see the warning about stock levels has been removed when selecting the 3080.
A few days ago it said ETA was 15th September now there's no warning. Does this mean there is now stock for new orders?
