I just got three 8 shielded with the braid stuff from amazon comes in saturday. Got my card in today.......OMG its so big TWSSSo our cards require a 16-pin cable that pulls power from 3 8-pin PCIEs. Currently, and to the best of my knowledge, there is only an adapter for this connection:
GeForce RTX 3090 Ti comes with 3 x 8-pin to PCIe 5.0 16-pin adapter | TweakTown
My 3080 ti had a 12-pin adapter that was powered by 2 PCIEs and eventually Corsair made a single cable that went from GPU to PSU and looked much, much cleaner. Look at that zoomed out picture of mine a few pages back and see that mess under the GPU? Picture one single cable replacing all that mess lol.
I think its beyond speculationSo apparently Best Buy has removed all non ti cards from its inventory. Speculation that nvidia may be manipulating the market.

Flight Sim, Forza Horizons, Forza 8 when it comes, FFXIV, Moving all my Destiny main stuff to PC, and you know how it is having some disposable income and being a tech lover lol. I plan on playing most of everything on PC with exception to PS exlusives and Madden.Why do you play on PC Bearcat? I see you playing the show and seating on ps5. What are your PC games? What games are you looking to improve with your new card?
I wouldn’t mind getting back into destiny but I log in and I’m completely lost.

Me and two of my friends have played every season lol. I dont know how long ago it was when you played, but they have done so much with the game and made so many improvements. Might want to watch their last viddoc on the new expansion that comes in Feb of next year.............its incredible.I wouldn’t mind getting back into destiny but I log in and I’m completely lost.

Well I found two PCIe cables and they have the pigtail on it so I went ahead and hooked it up. Crazy, its so quiet and even when it was chugging at the most load point in the benchmark, I really could barely make out the fan sound. My 3060ti FE (I did love that card) would get pretty loud under a heavy load. Of course the gains benchmark wise were pretty great. Gonna try it in a few games and see how much I can push it. Really happy right now and it looks so good and super quiet."Benchmark" may have been a bit of a misnomer. I'm hoping to hear about performance gains in games you've been playing.
