It's struck me I've always bought the Asus Rog range since I came back to this passion. The quality of the products have been great, they always win tones of awards and the tech reviewers are super positive about their products. Until they go wrong. If you google Asus customer care they have very unfavorable reviews and pretty much everyone is left disgusted/disappointed by the quality of the returned units. Having just bought the XG27UQR brand new from amazon a couple of months back, I noticed upon the first power on that there were insects in the display. I returned it to Asus under their 7day return policy for a brand new unit and they sent me a reconditioned that was scratched on the screen and get this, had another thunder fly trapped in the panel. This lead to about a month of back and forth trying to get my new replacement and answers I finally got an actual asus customer service managers email address and he resolved the issue in about two weeks. Even the brand new replacement had a very fine inch long scratch in the matte coating, but I was so tired of dealing with them, I'm just dealing with it, and as an added bonus, it flicked off today and turned back on! All this means that I'm never buying another expensive asus monitor again, but what about other brands? is the aftercare as dire as Asus's (non existent world wide customer service, judging by reviews.), with other big brands? I'm amazed that no large tech channels have called Asus out on their shit so they will be shamed into actually offering a reasonable level of customer care. Idea for a video, buy expensive monitors from big brands and review their return process and the quality of the returned goods. Because after shelling out such large sums on recommended hardware, the aftercare for if/when it goes wrong is how we can judge if the warranty is worth the paper it's written on. @LinusTech

it because of how Microsoft and Linux report disk size. Something to do with Mebibytes and Gibybytes and how each o.s uses this the calculate available space. technically both are accurate and correct, it's just the unit of measurement differs.

The only way I've seen this work effectively is with an old Alienware graphics amp, and that would still choke significant performance from the GPU due to the PCIE lane only being 3.0 x4. As others have said, USB 2.0 doesn't have enough bandwidth for this to be a realistic or even a supported option for your machine. I'd be inclined to keep the laptop you have for work purposes and look into building something more substantial. Good luck

My 2080ti is making £106/$134.66 a month, based off payouts over the last 4 weeks. It's worth it depending on your gpu.

If you pirate games your gpu/cpu could be mining. Check your task manager and see whats using your cpu/gpu, if you are having high utilization when doing nothing you have a problem.

980ti probably would be around this cost. Kills it for 1080p

Ramp that up to 80% if you can bear the noise.

I wish i were baller enough to own 3k worth of gpu lol. I can export the bios, so no problem there I guess i'm gonna have to give it a shot lol

I can, but i'm not sure it will work. I was hoping somebody else with the same card had already tried it. Just chasing that higher TDP!

So, is there any issue with flashing this bios to my 2080ti? I know there are risks of bricking the bios, luckily this is a duel bios card. I want to flash the below bios for the better power limit. kingpin XOC BIOS, Version 90.02.17.40.88 from the website; This archive is password protected to ensure you have read this guide carefully and agree with the risks involved of flashing custom binary into your KINGPIN. Password from the archive is ipromisenottoRMAthiscard. XOC BIOS have next limitations to restrict it’s use only for benchmarking purposes: All fans are 100% speed (“jet engine mode”). Fan speed curves or adjustment in PX1 is disabled. Temp target is removed. Power limit is not there anymore. Card ID is generic in this BIOS (meaning you need to use nvflash with -6 parameter to flash into this BIOS or restore original BIOS). BIOSes in this section are compatible only with EVGA RTX 2080 Ti KINGPIN card and will not work and may damage any regular 2080 Ti FTW3/SC or any other brand RTX card. It is provided AS IS, without any warranty for education purpose only. Do NOT hotlink this BIOS on forums. Will this even work if i pull the trigger and flash it? or will i end with tears? -Rob

pci pins, can't hurt to check both tbh. i recommend taking some snaps with flash on.

Check the contact pins at the bottom of the card and make sure that none of the contact pins have damage. just a thought.

uninstall orgin and clean reg. then download and reinstall the client. should fix it for you

Apparently the Asus strix 2080ti has the best PCB? at least according to buildzoid.

Different game engines can not play nice with your OC. I need to remove my oc on my 980m to play facry 5 stable .
