pc "gaming" components always had the cringiest names imaginable to man. can't blame them either when you consider the target audience. it's why they do it and it works in the first place. pcsharts were a mistake.

I have this exact card and it's loud and hot as fuck, also the fans make noise every time they turn on.
Fortunately I partially solved the problem with an undervolt
To the left of me, 3060s that can barely play indie games
To the right of me 5070s that can't play triple gAy games
In the middle my 3080's heating my room while my games go vroom
Everyone else is a faggot, except 3090 chads.
The price gap between mid-range and high-end is so high it's fucking nuts
4090+ niggas are the only one having a good time running their shit at good graphics and decent framerate compared to the plebs

I had an RX 590 before it so it was a balanced build previously. Got the 3090 Ti used for $700 but I'm also a thirdie so it wasn't a bad deal at all considering location and subhuman tax.

PNY is Nvidia's enterprise partner. They build the $10k cards with serious QC and SLA. That wouldn't be the case if they were just some ARGB GAMR FEWL company.

I wish. I still have my 3090's because I feel a little miffed that the 4090 doesn't do better and keep thinking I should sell it. It's about 60% better than a 3090/Ti unless you're running maxxed out PT at 4K.

I had a Gainward 3080 which is exactly the same as a PNY 3080, and the Gainward version had retardedly high hotspot temps.
I got a replacement made by PNY (like I said, exact same model) and it's still going okay.
Moral of the story, all of them suck dick, despite charging you the big bucks, they're all skimping on mats.

No it's not >>719895642
But regardless, 3080 stays in its lane, playing anything worth playing. 3090/Ti has 24GB of vram to do the same + stable diffusion. >>719896617
I already paid my respects to the King by tipping out my glass of whisky.
i haven't bought hardware since the 2080ti and i'm not even happy about that purchase because even though it's been functional for years i still paid too much for it. none of you know the value of a dollar and you're fucking shit up for everyone.
