Bought 2 RTX 3080s on ebay, received 2 3090s instead

By

both had bent backplate and run a little toasty in the upper 70s but passed a quick test in 3dmark timespy

bent the backplate back and applied some new thermal paste and both works perfectly fine

    Btw you can tell its a 3090 and not a 3080 because only the 3090s had SLI, and can clearly see the gold pins for SLI.

    All other RTX 3000 series did not have SLI

    Are you going to use that for what i think you are going to use that for?

    Be a dick, message them and demand your 3080’s.

    You don’t need 2, I’m running a gt1050, would very much appreciate it please and thank you.

    So they both show up as proper bios for the 3090 24gb cards they are in GPU-z..? If so and they are not crippled mining cards you definitely got a great score!

    Send me one, I’ll send you some chocolate brownies in return.

    Upper 70s is not bad for 3090s. My 3080 12GB FTW3 always ran pretty hot.

    One time I rented a pc at a lan tournament, was meant to have a gtx 1070 but had an rtx a6000

    daaamnn boiiii..you looking for a boyfriend? cuz i been needing a daddy with a couple of 3090s to punish me >.<

    I remember when the 3090 was all the rage. Like everyone wanted one cause it was the first time we could push raytracing to its “max”. The 20 series didnt quite have the effect most were looking for

    I had the same thing happen to me on ebay. Bought a 2070 but got a 2080 ti oc lol. Enjoy your rig my friend

    This would make for an AI *heaven* rig… shame you don’t got the PSU to support it, though.

    Why’d you get two cards, though? For two different systems?

    This happened to me when I bought a TV. I sent it back. It’s theft, knowing that I had stolen it would have ruined any enjoyment for me.

    You should do the right thing and tell the seller and work something out.

    You sOnOfAbItCh, JK that’s awesome!

    “Returns not accepted” Damn, sorry man.

  31. EstablishmentOnly929

    this kinda stuff NEVER happens to me

    My suggestion will be

    It will be even better if you repaste with PTM 7950 and Thermal putty on vrms and memory

    Buy a new 1200watts PSU

    Buy loseless scaling on steam use dual GPU mode it will be amazing

    Or with 48 VRAM run good size local LLMs

    Or render crazy shit
