I can't wait to listen to people argue about whether or not you can see the difference between 8k and 4k on a cell phone screen.

Mobile market in computing means laptops. Those chips are probably pretty similar to the chips in the new consoles only with Zen 3 instead of 2.

Would be sick if they could get that kind of power into a tablet though. I'd totally buy an 8"+ tablet with a next gen console chip in it.

Glad to see RDNA in the future for APU graphics. Saw the 5000 series mobile chips will STILL be using Vega which is a huge disappointment with Tiger Lake spanking Vega now.

I think the fix for now is to use the studio drivers instead of the game-ready drivers.

All 100 of them.

The backlash on twitter and forums is insane.

On the bright side, everyone who bought a 3090 ain't buying a 3080

Looks like the cheapest buy it now I am seeing on eBay is $2,599. Idk how you'd keep it for that price.

We've come full circle. Now it's Nvidia with the driver issue space heaters.

I work with electronics for my job and this happens literally with every new product launch.

shite ton of bugs and issues at the start because your having a ton of people install the product into their system with a zillion different possibilities of hardware and software.

Nvidia will get it right but this should be no surprise

Yes, especially new architectures. Same thing with first gen Ryzen and first gen RDNA.

Hell even new phones, I had no desire to get the first Gen Fold knowing it was gonna have issues. Waited for 2nd Gen with huge improvements and glad I did.

Same with new cars too, avoid first year of a new model or redesign.

Now with this in mind, if it isn't drivers it is a much more major issue.

The RTX 3080 Launch can't get any worse... Right? Wrong...


JayzTwoCents is saying it is how the AIB cards are designed that is the issue. POSCAPs are the issue instead of using MLCC's, AIB's cheaping out under spec.

At the end he says he doesn't expect AIB's to retool and remanufacture the cards and he says no. Says they'll release a VBIOS update with lower clocks instead. Also: avoid ZOTAC at all costs.

Thats not an Nvidia problem. Thats a major frickup by the AIBs if true.

Also - why avoid Zotac? They've had pretty good build quality cards in the past; I've had no issues with them.

VBIOS update is the most cost effective measure. I'd imagine the AIBs would release a Rev 1.1/2.0 version of the impacted cards at some point if this blows up further.
