Specifically though, 400W on a Titan RTX. Where did that happen?
For the 3080, there appear to be some OC tests showing 1920MHz or so. That is very weak, especially for a supposedly smaller lithography node.
Give the man a little time, the story is only 4 hours “old” by now.
When Roman overclocks something he usually does it thorougly

look here somewhere from 2020

Wich Story?
Ich kann Dir gerade nicht folgen
Thought you were speaking about der8auer’s shunt modding attempts on the 3080. Think he is the first one who made a video in that direction(?)

we talked about the 420w mod of the Titan RTX
at the 30xx, have you seen Igor’s IR images? For my taste, Nvidia is already pushing some things to the limit.
Let’s see what more extreme countermeasures can do - 0°K is the limit 
For me these videos are only entertainment anyways, would never consider to power mod a card or even use one - disproportional waste of energy.

superfluous with the poor efficiency in the upper end of the 3080.
With other cards it is worth points. a volta really gets going.
Might be, no data yet, right? Let’s see…

just noticed one of the shops here is saying that they have an unverified stock inc for Nov 1. Looks like the scarcity rumors were true. one and a half month for new, very limited, stock.

EVGA shared a picture of a 3090 on a huge OC, I was hoping 3080’s might be similar but it appears not so.

Supposedly overclocks over 2000mhz and better than the FE.
The better overclocking cards are due to come later as well. They need more time and those will have the best samples. Guess time will tell, though.
I think i’ve since sold myself on a RTX 3090, the 8KX is so awesome, might as well get the most out of it. Should be a nice upgrade from a 1080ti. Just don’t tell anyone I know I spent that much on a graphics card!

Even at $1/hr electricity costs, running a 5kW refrigeration system, per flight hour, it’s more than 1000x cheaper than typical aircraft.
An extra 10-100W to add 20% performance? It would be downright silly not to go for that.
Link, please.
This is more encouraging. Still, we need to see around ~2380MHz. Hopefully some of the vendor cards will be prebinned high enough for this.
EDIT: Found this. Hardly meaningful, and much less than even 2200MHz at that.

Good luck grabbing a 3090 , there are thousands of ex 2080ti owners who can’t get a 3080 who will also have drawn that very same conclusion.
So much for the £650 FE edition there must have been at least some up for grabs lol
Next month the prices go up

The mining kids’ buybots will clear all stock before a gamer has a chance xD
Don’t panic, enough on the market
The 3080’s are not so efficient for ruthenium , those guy’s are better off buying 2000 cards
Although to make money mining you already need cheap electricity so maybe 3000 are fine
20xx 50,
30xx 75 Hashs, 50% more efficience

Cryptocurrency mining will not be coming back as a driver of huge GPU sales volumes. The economic payoff would need to be much higher than it will be.
Datacenter sales for other purposes may drive some demand, but perhaps not for the gaming cards.

tell this people from Eastern Europe, where electricity is almost free from the socket.

But is that true for wholesale users, consuming megawatts? That was what really drove the GPU shortage, in turn, the subsequent GPU surplus, and ultimately, the stagnation of better GPUs being released.
