3080ti wait times

[Frogbox]

The 3080ti is now only £169 extra to switch from the 3080? do you guys think this is worth it?

It's an extra 15% performance boost, so if you've got the budget then I'd say so, yeah.

Where are you seeing 15% boost? Most places I've seen is closer to 8-10% increase

even less on certain games

Pretty sure it only hits this level on the most demanding RT games when the extra cores kick in.

I'd watched some 4k benchmark videos, and the difference came out at around 15%, but after taking another look now at multiple sources, you are spot on. The average does seem to be around 10% in general.

Valid point, and happy to be proven wrong

Guessing I will receive early next week.

Edit: 5 minutes after writing this it was despatched with next day delivery. Wonder if I can just not go to the wedding I have on this weekend?

I am sure you can act out a severe bug and bravely tell every one "you go, I'll be ok!"

Solid plan.. sneaking suspicion my wife would see through that ploy disappointingly!

 

[Rummbler]

So sorry to hear that mate. I got mine today and it seems to be in good condition, nothing broke. I haven't started it but I have to check all cable before. But seems like everyone did a great job. Really looking forward to starting the beast. I got the same case as you Rummbler but got a different card (Phoenix on my end).

For your case, either you ask PCS to send you a new one and you put it back together or you send back the computer and they'll do it.

couldnt get a new case sent out but got a refund on the case since i didnt want to send the system back and risk being in the same situation

But then you have to transplant everything into a new case??

 

[Rummbler]

not a problem i would have built it myself but couldn't get a gpu i built my other pcs

 

[PadForce]

Very, very pleased with this monster

 

[SiAdams]

looks awesome mate. Is the case the 500D SE?

 

[PadForce]

Yeah, and its lovely. The magnetised sides (which I didnt know it had) are great

 

[SpyderTracks]

Mine has those, my god does it make things easier!

 

[PadForce]

Yep. I am a tiny bit worried about the total lack of child proofing... just going to have to take my chances.

I have the same case, its a brilliant case, great for airflow, looks like bees knees!!! I have found the build quality of rig very solid, great cable management as well. I have had my machine for three weeks now, could not be happier
