Thought I would dig up this old thread as I'm getting a new GPU in a few days. The lucky ones that are running them, how are temps gaming for you?

Case closed temps 55-65c 80% fan speed
Case open 45-55c same fan speed EVGA FTW ULTRA RTX3090
Overwatch Game Play with my setting to the max 3440x1440 100hrz gets 190+ FPS

Hey Dude, congrats on finding a GPU. (Still seems weird to say).

Anyway, I have an EVGA 3080 FTW3 Ultra. I have the little switch flipped for the OC bios, which keeps my fan spinning on the GPU all of the time. I have also used MSI Afterburner to undervolt my GPU just a bit. I gave at 1440p, and in Call of Duty Cold War I hit about 60-62C max.

I honestly think this whole GPU situation was to force people into buying top tier.
3090's were readily available but the budget cards never existed what kind of BS is that

The day i went to microcenter for a 3080 and seen the chaos was the day i just said screw it and get the big gun nobody knew it was going to get this bad where now AMD has open up DLSS for everyone and everything from RX580'S on up and GTX 10 series on up.

This means that we no longer need powerful GPU's what ever everyone is running AMD's fidelity FX will make up for the power thank goodness someone has a brain to stop the bleeding ,They could of made DLSS standard but Greedvidia doesn't want too good job AMD

I'm not really sure that I saw any 3090's around me, I'd hardly say they were readily available.

I never felt the 3090 was intended for gaming. It's only real fit in my opinion was high end graphics and video work. The value was simply never there as a gaming and enthusiast card. I wouldn't have bought a 3090 even if I could find it...not for the price.

I think there was a lot that combined to cause this catastrophe that we currently see in the market

1. The price (MSRP) to performance was incredible on these new cards, Nvidia generated a frenzy right here.
2. Everybody when they started working from home, realized their PC's were crap and needed to upgrade
3. People weren't out doing other things (dining, movies, sports, etc), so they were instead using their new PC's to game.
4. covid reduced some of the workforce who could supply the new cards
5. cryptoming took off again
6. People were out of work and looking to make a quick buck on the scalping. They also had time on their hands to create their bots. They had time to stand in line at Microcenter every morning.
7. FOMO. Fear of missing out. Everybody wanted to get in on the action that was buying a new GPU. I think it was honestly "cool" to overpay for a new graphics card.

My personal opinion of the above is that #1 and #6 influenced the shortage the most;
