By the time they reach that rank, they're probably flying desk's at that point? :-)
I was aware of James Stewart's WWII service as a pilot. Pretty cool.
Pretty much a no brainer for me too. Go with the 3080. In 2 years, the 4080 will be out, and it'll perform better than the 3090, and at a lower cost rather than spending $1,500 for the 3090 up front.
Walking through this, you've practically convinced me to go with the 3080. Indeed, the future 4080 (2 years from now will outpace the 3090). ;)
Besides, going from a 1080 to a 3080, that'll be a nice step for me...
I have them here in AZ. Yet the very high heat does reduce their efficiency.
I'm anxious to see what the power requirements will be, (as you all do), since I currently have a 750W PSU.
currently thinking about the 3080. But really depends on how much nVidia will extort us for the 3090 (and the other cards).
in either case, I'll await the EVGA cards as well. I've had great luck with 'em too!
Exactly. I have the:
- O/S installed on the first NVMe M.2
- DCS is installed on a second NVMe M.2
- My page/swap file is installed on a dedicated 3rd NVMe M.2 (yes, maybe over kill, but I had a free slot for it, and got the drive on sale via AMZ).
