That's the way.
Does this mean I need to retest this weekend?
Boosted Cinebench R23 from 9649 to 11537
And now 91st in the world on TSE for my specs.

Nice.
Best I achieved was 11600. But it was unstable on light loads.
Light load instability can be relatively easily tuned out, especially if you're not gunning for absolute max efficiency. My 5900X will hit 5.15GHz 2 core max, and 4.65GHz all core, all day long with zero stability issues. Tuning out the lower end instability with curve optimisation took maybe 15 minutes of guesswork using an online guide.Best I achieved was 11600. But it was unstable on light loads.

Just did a undervolt, maintaining 4.6Ghz with a max of 1.28125v

I think you would get so much more pleasure eeking out the last scrap of performance from my 2070 Super rather than that stupidly powerful card you currently have. No challenge at all ! Boosted Cinebench R23 from 9649 to 11537

Drop me a pm and I’ll let you know where to send it for the exchange !

I bought one for my lounge PC gaming box and it under-volted and over-clocked like a dream.
My 3950x work machine was a lot harder to coax into running cooler and stuff… got there in the end but yeah, hard work.
Those new 7600x will be a no brainer if they’re just as quick/cheap.
I can’t see why anyone would want more unless they have specific use cases.
I decided to finally do some basic CPU overclocking with my new(ish) 5950x to see what I could get my Time Spy score up to: https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/80236759
20,575 with PBO enabled and a -10 all core curve optimizer negative offset. That's the best I can do without spending hours manually tweaking things I think.

£929 for a 3080ti is pretty damn cheap. Remember when 3080s were two and a half grand?!
Only for some extreme board partner models.The FE ones (like those in the picture) were all sold at RRP, so my 3080Ti was £1049 in July 2021.

Still signs of Nvidia's over purchasing of 3000 series wafers. Everything but 3080 & 3090 founders editions available still on their own site.
Wasn't that long ago that people were yelling at them for not making enough and creating deliberate shortages, thus causing higher prices.Looks like they were pumping out as many as they physically could but Cryptomining (and scalping) demand was swallowing it all up.
Edit: I should add that it looks to me that they are going to keep selling the RTX30xx cards as 'low end' options until they have shifted the stock, then they will start to being out RTX40xx at similar pricepoints to replace the '60 and '70 models. Probably 3080 like performance for 4070 at a pricepoint halfway between the prev and current generation.
They are set on pushing prices up and of course the collapsing pound vs dollar is going to mean higher prices too,

The FEs were sold at RRP thanks to NVidia teaming up with partner retailers (Scan in the UK) and controlling sales very tightly. Random, surprise releases and one FE (of any type) per customer plus really looking at the credit card/address info to stymie scalpers.The FE ones (like those in the picture) were all sold at RRP, so my 3080Ti was £1049 in July 2021.
However, they were selling on, at huge premiums on eBay. I remember 3080FEs at £1.5k asking and going for more in the hysteria.
THe 3080Ti FE was actually Nvidias attempt to get some of those higher prices for themselves as the premium of the 3080FE was way beyond any performance increase.
Some people still haven't received the memo.
