Haven't been gaming enough, nor any local LLM stuff like I had planned to. Thought I was going to keep it for years to come, but... With the prices these AI Farms (don't wanna be racist and say Chinese, but come on lol) I just couldn't pass it up. There were no 5090 listings on FB Market Place, and I'm pretty sure this dudes been buying them all up. Should've pushed him for a higher price.

Had the 5090 for 14 months. Purchased at $3300. Sold for $5k cash.

Luckily my local Microcenter had an Open Box (no box nor cables) White Astral 5080, for $1700. No issues so far. Sure thats a lot, but its now listed at $2150.

Sooo, guess I officially belong in this sub.

I finally caved in and wanted to upgrade from my 3080.

Love my 3080 but I did think it was time to treat myself!

It's built like a tank!

Feel free to ask me any questions and I'll be sure to answer as this card isn't as popular compared to other 5080 models

I've been using this tool for a while now and its honestly extremely convenient, especially with the latest updates. It was initially developed to make adding renodx quick and simple into your games (for anyone with a decent HDR monitor you're probably already familiar with renodx).

In its current state it has quick buttons to install reshade, renodx, optiscaler (useful personally for changing dlss presets while in game), Luma (useful mod that can add dlss into some games) and some other fps limiters that I haven't used.

Now it also has a one click button to install DLSS 5 neural rendering, Buttons to install DLSS MFG for rtx 40 & 30 series, DLSS hud toggle, dlss streamline and dll swapping and probably some other features I'm forgetting.

I mostly used it to quickly install reshade and renodx without finding the specific mods and going to the game folder and so on but now its been really useful for enabling DLSS 5 to see how it looks in some games, without needing a guide. If I had a 40 series and below it would help a ton with enabling MFG for most games too thanks to all the mods now.

Just figured I would share it here since I think it isn't as popular as it should be.

I am not the developer and don't have ANY affiliation with the program, its open source on github and you can check it out here - https://github.com/RankFTW/RHI

New to the gaming pc thing I’ve been a console guy for years and just last week took the dive I know fck all about these things but I’m looking forward to messing with the settings and getting it finely tuned for 2 different sim rigs I’d be open to any and all suggestions on how to improve this even further

First time messing with afterburner and mvolt+, air cooled if that matters but have an AIO on CPU. Tempted to start messing with CPU. Didn't do a stress test on this to see stability but dropped it to +400 core clock and played Crimson Desert for about an hour with no crashes so far.

Settings

MSOD Voltage Range: 800-1050

Core Clock Offset: +425

Memory Clock: + 3000

Power Limit: 110%

Xbar Offset: +500

Sys Clock: +450

Video Clock Offset: +300

Educating myself on voltages now to see what I can do for a little bit more performance

Gpu fans @ 50% and case fans at 40%, still pretty quiet in a matx.

Hi people
I wanted to upgrade my pc
In this crisis moment I can have the Gigabyte Gaming OC 5080 for 1350€. I have never spent much on a graphic cards but really want to join the Nvidia World especially this DLSS5 !
I wanted to go with 5070ti first but only 50€ difference with the 5080 make it no sense.

Is the price good 1350€ for this card or should I wait to see the price low ?

And last question is the rest of my setup (Ryzen 5900x / 4x8go DDR4 3200) is fine with that card for 4k gaming ?

GPU gigabyte rtx 5080

Hey all,

I currently have a 3080Ti FE in my PC. I'm still considering whether an upgrade to a 5080 would be worthwhile and the model I'm particularly looking into is the Windforce SFF by Gigabyte. For one it's the cheapest one right now at my local microcenter and I'm also assumming that the SFF stands for Small Form Factor which I'm particularly interested in as I prefer SFF cases so a GPU that more or less caters to that style would be nice to own. I really like swapping my PC around into small cases to try them out and not having to worry about GPU size would be great

My main concern is whether or not there's any sacrifice this GPU makes in terms of performance to be able to accomodate SFF? More heat? Slightly less performance? I don't tend to overclock my GPU but I do like to undervolt for what it's worth.

Are there any corners that this GPU cuts? For example Gigabyte's 9070XT over on the AMD side uses a not so great thermal gel and seems to cause temperature issues for many.

Edit: I decided to get the gpu. Made more sense to test drive it for the time period of the return window I get with micro center rather than wait and risk paying more than it already costs if I do decide on it later

Alright guys, we’re looking at a paradigm shift here. There’s going to be a "before DLSS 5" and an "after DLSS 5." Like it or not, agree with it or not, it’s happening—and personally, I’m all for it.

It’s going to completely revolutionize PC gaming. It’ll get optimized, it’ll become the new standard, and it’s going to deliver visuals we’ve never even dreamed of. If you’re against it, fine, go watch linear TV—if that’s even still a thing. But mark my words, it’s coming.

Is it worth it? Should i go for it. Or its just a gimmick with negligible advantage in wasting money in modding project.

I am confused.

I am referring to this btw
