I would buy it as long it's a reasonable price. I bought my EVGA 3080 FTW3 soon after launch and sold my 2080TI to a friend for $400. (they were selling around $500 at the time.) You can probably make most of you money back if you sell the 2080TI.

It may be as simple as cleaning hair or debris in front of the laser. Use a Q-tip with alcohol. Try a second mouse if you can before you start messing with windows, drivers, ect.

If you are using an NVME boot drive, it usually requires your mobo to run with CSM on depending on format. If you do have CSM enabled it will not let you turn on resizeable bar.

Myself and 3 of my friends got our 3080's and we were in queue day 1 and 2. I got mine about 6 weeks after launch, theirs were a week or two after mine.

Found the problem. It needs both pins connected.

There is a lot of variables in play on this and is tough to diagnose imo. The only constant here is Rainbow 6, is there another way to test your system to rule out the game being the culprit here? There are several recent bios updates for your board, that may be something you want to try. Are you running with PBO enabled on your bios? That will help with keeping a higher FPS.

I have the same PSU with a 3080 and 5950x. It will run stock fine and some light overclocking, although it is recommended to have a more powerful PSU. I have not had any issues.

5 years is average and 10 years would be a long life.

I wasn't aware of that Issue, I've had a 7700k since launch. That's pretty awful if it doesn't even last 3-4 years.

That sounds incredibly hot for 4.5Ghz. Can you check if the heatsink mount screws are tightened up? It may not be making good contact.

I'm running a 7700k @5ghz with a 3080. The CPU usage is pegged at 100% while the GPU around 60%. I average around 70fps. Have you tried overclocking your cpu? If you haven't done the config file edit, It will help with the frame drops.

Thanks for the assistance.

I recently purchased an ASUS Prime X-570 Pro with the intent on buying a 5900X when they are available. At the time they were advertised as "AMD 5000 series ready" and I did not know know they required a bios flash to work. I did not see a bios version listed on the board, I know I need version 2606 from 8/17 or newer. I am a little confused on how this works because some boards are capable of flashing bios without the CPU. Is this board capable of doing this? What would you guys recommend as solutions so that when I do get the CPU I will be able to use it? https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/PRIME-X570-PRO/specifications/

Make sure you put them in slot 2 and 4 if it covers the first slot so it will run in dual channel. I'm not sure about the difference in dies, I don't think it will make a noticeable difference.

I'm just taking a guess here but it would be a bit long winded to say certain speeds like 1866 mhz as 1.866 Ghz or 3866 as 3.866 ect.

It can work but you also run the risk of having issues. I've run 8gb and 4gb sticks and similarly 512mb and 1gb stick together with no issues. If it's a new build, you should try and return the chip and buy the 2x8 set.

I would go with the wifi card if I absolutely had to. Wifi 6 (ax) will have a very short range and at that distance i'd rather just hook up directly. I don't know your situation, but I would do everything in my power to run an ethernet cable and avoid wifi altogether.

I'm sure there are some issues, but not widespread enough for me to distrust this board. I looked into the TUF and it is definitely a better value. The prime looks better overall, has an extra phase of power for memory overclocking. I want good VRM's and Asus seems to do very well in the X570 lineup across the board.

I am getting the 5900X, upgrading from a 7700k. I wasn't sure if I was going to get an 8 or 12 core, since the 12 core is only $100 more I might as well pony up now. Still deciding on what board I want, X570 Asus prime pro is what I am leaning towards.

They do work generally, put them in and give it a shot. Worst case it doesn't post and you know for sure lol.

Here's another option, the ryzen 3700x is a place holder for the AMD 5600X (6c/12t) PCPartPicker Part List Type Item Price CPU AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor $309.99 @ Best Buy CPU Cooler Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler $25.99 @ Amazon Motherboard MSI B550-A PRO ATX AM4 Motherboard $139.99 @ Amazon Memory Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory $74.98 @ Amazon Storage Western Digital Blue SN550 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive $99.99 @ Amazon Video Card EVGA GeForce RTX 2060 6 GB KO GAMING Video Card $325.94 @ Amazon Case Cooler Master MasterBox MB511 RGB ATX Mid Tower Case $72.98 @ Newegg Power Supply Corsair RM (2019) 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply $114.99 @ Corsair Operating System Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit $108.78 @ Other World Computing Monitor Acer VG270 Pbiip 27.0" 1920x1080 144 Hz Monitor $204.98 @ Newegg Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total (before mail-in rebates) $1488.61 Mail-in rebates -$10.00 Total $1478.61 Generated by PCPartPicker 2020-10-14 12:30 EDT-0400

I have an Acer predator 27" 2k IPS 144hz, so I can't speak personally about ultrawide, not my thing. I have 3 friends with the "ALIENWARE AW3420DW" It's $850 on amazon and they all love it. That's something you'll have to research though, I don't know much about monitors.

If that's the case, upgrading to a 3080 would be unnecessary for a 1080p monitor. I think your processor is fine, it would be a pretty expensive upgrade for minor improvements in performance. You might want to get a 2k monitor and either a set of RAM or new ssd with the leftover budget. The 2080 is plenty capable at 2k. Ram is pretty cheap right now you can get a decent 16gb set for under $100.

What monitor do you have? Resolution and refresh rate? The only hardware upgrade I could see that makes sense would be to buy a 3080, but it may be a while before they are readily available.

Can you run your game on full screen window mode? That way you don't completely miss out on the game.
