Nvidia RTX Discussion

Homelander

I was playing Black Ops yesterday, and in the middle of the game it suddenly started to chug horribly, quit out not thinking much of it.

Ever since, all my games now run at low framerate, with my RTX3070 sitting at 20% usage. The clocks seem fine. Tried different drivers, same. So bizarre.

Card was fine for the past few weeks, but since whatever happened yesterday it's constantly stuck at 20-30% usage.

Nvidia have a new driver out 461.09....Im not sure if its a better driver then the previous one. But Im gonna run with it for another little bit, getting a little micro stutter every now and again in Hell Let Loose and Control whereas I did not get that on the previous driver.

Metric Tensor

The previous driver used to randomly crash on me. I'd get a black screen for about 5 seconds once or twice a day and then it would recover. Only happened during work - not gaming. I'm assuming an incompatibility with some work software. I'm hoping it goes away with the new one.

I was getting similar stutters on Warzone after updating to that driver version. Although I'm sure what the real cause was because I rolled back the driver version and it didn't fix it. It wasn't until after a re-install of Warzone and updating back to 461.09 the game worked fine again so I'm still none the wiser

Wonda-Boy

Warzone is fine for me, its Hell Let Loose thats a bit iffy.

Nothing major just the odd stutter every now and again, but with me any excuse to blame the game when I die....lol

I know Scan won't deliver rn anyway. But I did manage to get in almost straight away and the 3080 was still sold out.

I knew about the delivery also but went in to have a bit of a nose about also and got to the point of picking a delivery option but none for ireland.

Every drop that goes by I feel luckier and luckier to have gotten a 3080 FE from Scan back in October, and it was entirely down to this forum that I got so lucky! A mate of mine has had a friggin nightmare of a time with an order from OCUK.

I got a 3070 in early November and thought I was stupid for "settling"- Now I am so happy.

Jaysus how do you think I feel....my card dropped on the 23rd December two days after I ordered it from Scan. Bleedin happy out I dont have this ****e to go through, but its looking like the same thing trying to get my monitor :rolleyes:

I think tomorrow is just mobile and some housekeeping. I think there is another announcement later in the month when I'm hoping for the 3080ti.

Maybe a silly question but... why are founders so much cheaper than AIBs ?

mossym

nvidia controlling the price of the chips themselves, selling them to their partners at a higher price.

Its all pr so nvidia can claim they are better performance / $ when you look at the almost unavailable FE models, they would want you to ignore the fact that all aibs are far more expensive.

Its usually because AIB'S will offer an overlock and a better cooling solution over the stock FE

i'm certainly amused at the frequent messages of " i can't find a 3080 in stock, guess i'll jsut wait and pick up a 3080ti and avoid the hassle"


really? does anyone think there isn't going to be worse shortages for a 3080ti? the only reason there won't is if it's way overpriced for the bump over the stock 3080

Samuel T. Cogley

When I said hoping for the 3080ti, I meant the announcement. I'm resigned to the fact I ain't getting anything short term and tbh the 5700XT is enough for me atm. Would like RT but in fairness that's not fantastic on the newest cards so maybe another generation?

TheValeyard

CCL informed me today thay DPD have started sending packages from UK to Ireland today. Anyone else hear anything?

Would be a serious cash outlay for not much more performance..2nd gen RT is just meh..personally i would wait until rdna 3 or the 4000 series in Q4 this yr if rumours are to be believed.

Is scan VAT registered here or will we be paying VAT twice?

I think Scan are happy to knock off the UK Vat, but they aren't registered here. So you won't pay VAT twice, but you will have to pay vat here separately, and therefore incur a handling cost.

I could be wrong though.

Pay twice and not delivered any pending orders outside the UK since the start of the year yet. Scan is an awkward one as it would seem they sell well over the €75,000 per annum that means they are required to registered here but never have even after all these years.
The UK has new VAT laws since the start of the year. Removing UK VAT and selling to us is far more complicated than I expected. The only really viable way would be for them to register here.

AFAIK Amazon.co.uk and OCUK are the only two UK companies that sell PC parts and are Irish VAT registered. OCUK use DPD so you will be waiting on DPD to resume UK to EU service.

Bottom line is the options are either Amazon UK or buy within the EU.

Do any EU Computer shops ship to Ireland though? NBB get founders cards sometimes but dont sent here

Amazon ES is your best bet or a mate in Germany, they have been getting all the stock since start of year.

Aodhan5000

Asked Scan about buying stuff from them Ex VAT and they said they don't have delivery option outside mainland UK. So is that them and OCUK out of action?
