No, all dates are estimates that’s the point, a lot of the time, deliveries aren’t showing up or are only part of what was ordered.
Some of the best lines from that movie!
What i'm saying is that 1080p (even 1440p) on a 4k monitor looks way worse than on a monitor with that as the native resolution. If you want to play at 1080p you should have a 1080p monitor ecc...the people who think 1080p is still relevant, haven't seen a bigger resolution to compare it withit's day and night when you see it with your own eyes, like I have a setup with ultrawide 1440p + 2x 1080p, when you drag a 1080p window into the ultrawide, you see how little it actually is
Yeah that's upscaling, im talking about downscaling. It will always result in a blurry image. Downscaled 4k looks way worse than native 1080p.Whatchatalkingabout...
My 85" 8K OLED upscales my 360p content brilliantly
You’d want the 750w RMx as an ideal minimum, it’s a higher quality unit than the TXm variant. An 850w is the general recommendation round here to give you a bit of headroom for future upgrades, just in case the next generation of GPUs are as power hungry as these.

I would get a minimum of 850W but WHY OH WHY are you going intel????? My god type person in heaven!!! Have we not educated the masses????
We have failed!

Why do people say this as if it means it’s a different computer in some way? You wouldn’t know it was an AMD or Intel processor, the computer works exactly the same, doesn’t change anything other than you get about double the performance for the same money and far more security.
The 9900k is now a 6 year old architecture, you’re literally paying through the nose for a completely redundant platform.
It’s your money I guess and I’m sure you’ll say because you’re so close to building it’s not worth cancelling but believe me it is, this is a 7 - 10 year investment you’re making of done correctly.
I wouldn’t want an RM, personally. The RMx is the updated version and is much improved. I’d probably go a further step up and get an AX.

None of that is really relevant though, that's why you get advice, let people who understand it build something more suitable.
It's your money, but I guarantee, in a year when you find your system crawling due to security mitigations rolled out in Windows and BIOS, and the fact you're unable to upgrade it at all, you'll be very annoyed.
it's a complete waste of money.
Even a 5600x would walk all over that CPU in every metric.

Just for anyone else reading this, please please please get advice. And if you find yourself saying pretty much exactly what is said above then please think that you’re ordering an expensive piece of equipment that SHOULD last 7 - 10 years if configured correctly, rather than 1 or 2 years before you get the itch to upgrade because all your friends who bought the same cpu likely when it was released and relevant are upgrading to something more appropriate.Well like you said it's been ordered now and I really don't want to cancel it and start all over. I may have screwed myself over and cost myself some extra money if I decide to change to AMD in a few years time but that is for future me to worry about xD
I'm still happy with my choice as its what I have experience with but thanks for letting me know your opinion
Don't let impatience determine the next 10 years of your life for the sake of 30 days.

And the waiting time might not even change, I asked PCS to change from Intel to AMD after almost a month of being in pre-production (not the best time to ask for advice but later is better than never!), and that didn't influence my waiting time because of the 3080.
It may depend on your payment method though, they might not be able to do it if you paid through finance (I used a debit card), but it's worth asking. My initial choice was i9-10900X, then I changed to Ryzen 9 3950X via suport, and later to 5950X when it came out.

I just changed my i9 9900k to amd 5900x, do they get the new amd cpu more often than the 30series gpus? Wondering how long will it take for me now.. that im only waiting for the cpu cause i already have a gpu.
been on 42 days pre production i dont mind waiting.. as long as i get it before cyberpunk 🙁

Anyone know currently the waiting times on this card?
And how long the cue is at the moment?

I ordered Asus ROG Strix 3080 build on the 22nd of September, and I just want to know why some people are receiving theirs before me although they ordered at a later date... It's most likely a problem with other components in your build. They can't build it until everything is to hand and...

Ok only ordered this week could be a long wait but definitely worth it
Hopefully not many choose the ASUS option
