Am I the only one who hates the look of the FE though? lol.

I actually like the FE I was bummed that I couldn’t get one. I think it looks premium with the aluminum unibody shell.Am I the only one who hates the look of the FE though? lol.
TBH, I originally wanted the Suprim X Air or AIO cooled models. Then I was turned off by the 520W limit... but in reading further, it still seems to get just as high clocks as the 600W models out there and performs about the same. I can't see myself paying the Strix Premium for 600W just to push benchmarks, that may not actually see any benefit from 600W.I actually like the FE I was bummed that I couldn’t get one.

My MSI performs better than expected. Ram and Core oc very well for 450watts (3045 core/ +1500 ram in timespy), but it looks like cheap plastic to me.
The strix looks good but is over priced and the suprim x aio model looks good too. At least to my tastes.
Also size. My 3080 Ti FE was going to be the only 3080 Ti model that really fit in my case as all the AIB's went with gigantic PCB's, both in length and width which would interfere both with side panel closing and mounting of my pump/res at the front of the case. Add a waterblock to it and the inlet/outlet terminal adds even more width.Sure then founders makes sense.
A 4090 at $1600 is definitely a better bargain than a 4080 16GB at $1200 if that's where the price stays. Watch a Strix 4080 be $1500 lol.Yup, if you are looking for a bargain then this isn’t the card.

Business 101."Bargain"
Yep, this is by design clearly. Just keep pushing the market up and up and up in price.
I think the clocks have more to do with silicon lottery than board.TBH, I originally wanted the Suprim X Air or AIO cooled models.

I love the look of the FE cards. The high-end ones though can be noisy as hell. The FE 3080 TI and 3090 cards had the worst coil whine by far compared to AIB. Also the FE cards seem to be the most inconsistent when it comes to fan noise as you can take four FE cards and they may all four sound completely different. For example digital foundry had two 3080 TI cards and one of them had a noisy as hell fan and the other one didn't. That was my experience too because I had two FE 3080 TI cards with one of them that was just ridiculously rough and noisy while the other one had a smooth fan. I had an FE 3090 that was by far the loudest noisiest card that ever heard in my life as it sounded like a jet trying to take off when it was under full load. And both FE 3080 TI and the FE 3090 all had ridiculous levels of coil whine. My Asus 3080 TI though is pretty much silent in comparison.Am I the only one who hates the look of the FE though? lol.
Was that discount automatically applied?Fuck me sideways, tf I just do? Atleast tis my bday so that's my excuse...
I had a GIGABYTE WINDFORCE in my cart several times. Unable to get all the way through checkout though. Very frustrating.Damn I missed a newegg drop?
Long story from my earlier days as a card hunter..basically a perpetual discount if you use a ups email.Was that discount automatically applied?
Never owned an AIO model?These things are insanely overbuilt. Just ran Heaven Benchmark at 4K max details... 61c max. I can't remember the last time a GPU ran so cool.
There is an interesting rumor that Nvidia binned chips for the FE. Jayztwocent reports his FE clocks higher on the memory than his Strix, which carries a $400 premium. Definitely something to consider, unless the rumor is complete BS.
I think that was to be expected from them. Nvidia clearly had a crapload of 30-series stock to sell off. They will manipulate what they let out when to push what they want to push.I think Nvidia is stashing the FE 4090s and only doing through the special redemption link in geforce experience. They keep dropping 3090ti on their website and best buy. They must have had shit load of them. No wonder they are holding the 4090s I think. They have been selling the 3090ti because Best Buy has gone in and out of stock like 20 times I think over the last two weeks lmao.
They did add 4090s to their online shop too now. Totally controlling the inventory I think showing it out of stock and pushing people towards 3090ti to offload them first.
Or you can probably just buy it within a couple of weeks or so when they get restocked, just like all normal launches . Sorry to hear that your order got canned.They canceled my 4090. Meh I'll just wait for the 4090 Ti instead. I hate this. I hate life.
I lost my FOMO lol. Rather wait for 2023 OLED monitors and CES 2023 before making a move..Or you can probably just buy it within a couple of weeks or so when they get restocked, just like all normal launches . Sorry to hear that your order got canned.
Fair enough .I lost my FOMO lol. Rather wait for 2023 OLED monitors and CES 2023 before making a move..
Extremely common issue with them... att/swbell/whatever they're known by does a reverse dns lookup of the sending MX server and if the sending MX server's DNS host doesn't respond _immediately_ it says it's "not allowed" by policy. If they send it a second time it almost always goes through. They've got a time out issue they won't (AT&T) look into.So my PayPal email address that ends with att.net can’t receive any emails from antonline apparently. Called them and they said 2 emails did go out after order. I did send email to support and got nothing back either. Normally they respond pretty fast. Called again and she said she will do a ticket to see if they can send order number and confirmation to my other email. She did mention she needs to escalate it to her supervisor cuz she has had others complain about att.net email issue.
Lmao. Shit just can’t go smooth.
Techpowerup showed an average of 68 FPS with max settings and ray tracing at 4K in Control so there certainly had to be some dips below 60 quite often as there are parts of the game that have large fluctuations in performance. That said I think dlss on quality would actually improve the overall image anyway and then keep you from dropping to anywhere near 60.Just played some Control 4K, max settings including RT.
The 4090 is officially the card that defeats Control... without the use of DLSS. Felt like 60+ FPS easily the entire time.

You have a 5800X or? If you’re AM4 just get a 5800X3D, bro!And NE voided my order, strong deja vu feeling here with my Sept 27th 2020 Zotac 3080 order, but no remorse unlike that time, probably saved me a bunch.
Looking at this : https://www.techpowerup.com/review/rtx-4090-53-games-ryzen-7-5800x-vs-core-i9-12900k/ , makes me feel even better, no way I want a full system swap right now especially for 3440x1440p, most games push well over 100 maxed out on the 3090 at that res, more if DLSS is employed. Ty NE.
5900x but more importantly only driving a 3423dw.You have a 5800X or? If you’re AM4 just get a 5800X3D, bro!
Huh. I have the same monitor 7950X / 4090 and I’m still disappointed with the performance.5900x but more importantly only driving a 3423dw.
