I hate to break it to you, but there is nothing available. The 3070 is an amazing value, but the current world situation has created sever demand, then crypto miners are also buying up all the GPUs making prices go up more. All you can do is wait, and be glad your 2070 still works. It may be a few months, could be the end of the year GPUS are in stock again at MSRP.

I really think it is mining farms driving the prices up so much more, a few weeks after launch 3080s were going for around 1k/1.2k USD on the local used market, crazy for a 700$ MSRP product, now they are 2k+ on ebay and ghosts on the local market. Mining farms have a ton of cash to throw around so they keep buying them up, so prices continue to rise. I am really starting to dislike this "convert electricity into money" garbage. I understand that it totally makes sense to mine right now, but my electric is expensive enough, and I cannot get a 30XX anything to mine on.

Stuff like this is what I would say do, I mean it's only 80 GPUs, they could just have an ltt employee review all the purchases.

I do not mind if people mine on the GPU at all, as long as they do not get it and immediately resell it for 2k+ on ebay. I really hate scalpers.

Well, at the very least form members may be less likely to resell them, generally more respectful, and have been trying to help the community. All signs of good people who would keep the 3080.

They could use the forum to verify accounts somehow, do it by account age or something.

The tweet is embedded so everyone can read it, never know how they do it, I hope they have some kind of verification to buy them. I have been trying to get one for 5 months at this point.

So a few hours ago, LTT twitter posted this image, So what are is his plans for these GPUs? I count 10 boxes, and the quantity number is super blurry, it could be 6 or 8, so 60 or 80 GPUs! What do you all think? Giveaway, sell them on lttstore.com? Or something else.

I figured that Windows was being super buggy, something in your old install really did not like the 3090, I am glad it is working now! On your HDR question, Windows 10 has a super bad implementation of HDR, it will likely get patched out with driver updates over time. I am curious on what display your running as well as the resolution and refresh rate, could be something with the monitor/tv.

It may sound extreme, but it has always worked for me, I like to format and reinstall windows every year or so, it just makes the PC so much faster feeling. I would continue to try other versions of the drivers, and maybe a different version of DDU, but it is good to have a backup plan.

Its highly unlikely the IGPU is passing through, I would like you to try, if at all possible, a different boot SSD with a fresh install of Windows, if that is not an option, I would recommend using the IGPU to save all important stuff on the C drive and giving it a format, then re installing windows. I know these recommendations seem extreme, but they very well could have you a ton of time fixing your current install. It really does not sound like a dead 3090, especially as you have had the issue happen on two different 3090s, it really just sounds like windows being a buggy mess that it is.

Ok so your saying the 3090 gives a display output to the monitor, correct? I feel like this is a problem with your install of Windows if the GPU is displaying something. Does the PC work enough to get to the BIOS with the 3090? Also just realized this is your first post! Welcome to the forums!

Completely random, it will even do it in the BIOS We think it is the MOBO and contacted ASUS, they want to RMA it.

So, here are the new things we have run into since making the first post tried a different GPU, it still happens on a known rock solid GTX 1070 Tried a entirely different SSD with a different, brand new instal of windows. Re-seated the GPU, problem persists The problem has also escalated, it is black screening when opening/installing certain applications, or sometimes just turns of the PC and restarts, no BSOD, crash error, just off, and video returns with windows 10 loading logo. PLEASE HELP, thx

@leadeater @W-L could you move this to troubleshooting, we have eliminated the GPU as a problem, we now think it is CPU/Motherboard related Thanks
