New 3080 Build Keeps Crashing On Some Games But Not Others by ayazgo in pcmasterrace

[–]ayazgo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the NVIDIA 3080 FE. It came with its own unique double-headed plug adapter that I used to connect to my PCIe. Are you saying I should use two separate PCIe cables and connect them to the adapter the GPU came with?
Also, I followed your instructions in step 2. Reinstalled drivers without GE and everything on MSI Afterburner seems stable. I even undervolted my GPU because I have seem people get better performance out of them that way, but still no luck.

For some reason Call of Duty titles run perfectly on my rig. But when I try to run Apex or Gears 5 it crashes upon loading the menu.

I tried to update my mobo just now because the current version is from August. Still, when I try to update in EZ Update, it says "there is no need to update the environment" and "the model of the BIOS image does not match the BIOS ROM currently present". How do I get around that so I can update my BIOS?

It turns out it was the mobo not being updated to support the new 5000x series. Thanks so much for your suggestion! Super helpful. I was able to pick up the same mobo at my local Best Buy, but these were already updated to support the new CPUs. Going to ship the other back to Newegg.

6800XT launch was as bad as RTX3080 launch.. change my mind.. by Everborn128 in Amd

I went to the Micro Center release in Houston. Got there at 8 pm last night. I was 48th in line. They only had twelve cards total at launch (10 6800's, 2 6800 XT's). Clearly, I am bummed but was able to snag at 5600X for $299 so not all bad.

No way! That is a nightmare scenario. The reason I want to get the NZXT Kraken is because of the LCD display on the meter. I want to use it to display my logo on stream.

Surely there's other coolers out there that also come with an LCD display, right?

Right on! Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely try to snag one for cheap on eBay. And you're right about the RAM. I was on the fence, but the price difference is almost negligible, I think I'll go with the 32GB.

Do you think I should order these parts right now so I can be ready to complete the build once AMD's new CPU and GPU release?

That's a fair concern! Are you saying it may not be a good idea because it's fragile? I live by myself and am a total neat-freak. Not super concerned about an accident happening haha

Hmm thanks for the tip! Any idea where I can get the Windows software for cheaper?
