I'm not some hardcore FPS gamer or anything but I notice latency. If I was going to go wireless it'd be a BW Pro and those are $300... I'll just stick with my wires.

So did anyone get one? What'd they have? Were they priced at around MSRP?

I landed a RTX 3070 FTW3 at memory express (location in the north off of Banff Trail). It was 899.99 no bundle. I was there for a family vacation and stopped in to give it a shot and got lucky. Now I have to buy the rest of the computer.

LHR cards are mostly available for non-miners.

MemEx has 3060, 3060Ti, 3070, 3070Ti, & 3080Ti all in stock in store only for weeks now, but they are all LHR models.

Additionally 6700 XT, 6800 XT and 6900 XT.

Does that affect video performance? I want to build a new rig around a 3080Ti, but I don't want to sacrifice performance if I'm already shelling out all that dough.

Bleh. I bought my card 1080Ti first and foremost for gaming, but when I'm not gaming, I have my card mining ETH. I get why they did it, but LHR status would preclude me from buying one of those cards.

That's a good next step for better availability. Excellent.

Any help would be appreciated. I'm having issues with having two users in Windows 10. Having two users seems to break Windows, where users take longer to log in, start menu is frozen with a blue circle on the mouse. If you reboot and log into one, it stops. But if you log into the other user it starts again. 1st time I added the user weeks after Windows install. I just gave up and reformatted. I added the second user and it happened right away. Both users have a Microsoft account and the second user was not set up as admin.

What am I doing wrong that breaks user profiles immediately after installation? I'm not finding the issue on Google

May be unrelated, but have you ran MemTest64?

Windows having boot issues/slowness is frequently ram related.

Yup, I second running either MemTest64 or MemTest86+. 64 runs from within Windows, no reboot required.

Thanks for the tips. Tried MemTest64 and Windows Memory Diagnostic and both came back with no issues

Yeah, that's not cool. Bad look for their line of hardware for me going forward.

Gigabytes kinda been shady hardware wise for awhile now. I never liked their practice of releasing multiple versions of their motherboard hardware either.

Tech reviewers get a v1 board to look at but by the time you buy them it's sometimes v1.1 or v2 with parts changes and sometimes completely different bios. Lines up this whole fiasco with all of the PSUs getting random unstandardized parts. Its like they are just trying to get whatever parts at a bargain and put something together. That' can't be good for design consistency and by extension reliability.

Well looks like I'll end up skipping the GTX 3000 series entirely and hopefully buy a 4000 series next year, assuming their easier to find a year from now than a 3080

So a paper launch by Q1 2023 with a comparable 3000 series "launch" by Q2/3 2023?

Nvidia releasing Ti SKUs that jacked up the price for barely any improvement while the normal SKUs were still perpetually out of stock really pissed me the hell off. Let's take our already impossible to find product, and divide our production into a new higher priced SKU with tiny performance bump, so now we're producing even fewer of the original SKU which were already good enough for the majority of consumers who wanted them.
