That is really cool. One of these days I am going to have to try 3D printing. It's going to be like learning a foreign language though.

Hmm... I wonder who started that rumor....

 

That is a fantastic question. Once I get resituated, I will definitely be talking with the crew to see if/when we get that started back up.

I'm sure this is no big deal to a number of forum members here, but this is as close as I've ever gotten to a cutting-edge GPU so it's kind of exciting for me.

Yes, it is used. Yes, much of its potential will be wasted for a few more months until I build my Zen 4 machine. I have a friend building a new PC now who is interested in my 3060 Ti, and I was going to upgrade sooner or later now that I'm driving a 4K TV and a wannabe-4K ultrawide monitor, so I went for it during an active eBay Bucks promotion.

 

Also, I get to own a small piece of history, a top-shelf EVGA FTW series card with nearly top-shelf 30 series silicon, for a period of time while it's still performance-relevant. It's sad to say that this will be my sixth and final EVGA card and we all know it has nothing to do with being dissatisfied with the brand.

Mine was also used and its rock solid. You should be able to OC your better than mine though as these things are power limited and I believe you have three 8-pins available on that vs my two.

 

Enjoy the card! It's basically a 3090 with half the VRAM.

I haven't bought a car battery in a very long time and it turns out they all have witchcraft in them these days with the charge indicator window. It looks like this

Green for good, red for needs charging, nothing for dead. It's not an LED either which I thought it was.

Have those ever worked? every one I've ever used were either at 100% no matter the charge, or 0%.

I really enjoyed my 3080Ti, it was in my main system for a long time and after that I sold it to a friend who's now using it in his main system.
No shame in buying used products either, I do it all the time!
So have fun with that card 💪

lol, last night the wife called me in sounding pissed,she asked me"Is this a good video card? How do you tell? " (Was an RTX 3050)

She wanted to surprise me with a better video card. Finally she was like find 1 that's better we can afford and get it & that'll be my gift 2 you. 🤣

At 4:00 a.m. I just gave up for now. My 2070 still does good enough and I can just go back to 1080p gaming in anything that it struggles in. The only nvidia cards are the 3070 & up that actually are any halfway major improvement for the money.

What's your budget and are you only looking at Nvidia cards? And what would you consider a worthwhile increase in performance?
