Works a treat.

They will sell like hot cakes 25% more perfomance than the 3090ti that released for £1879

But the 3090ti is now £1149.

Ah the 4080, will be the least talked about gpu for years to come... except when it comes to memes .

 

[rumple9]

But the 3090ti is now £1149.

So? 4080 costs 25% more, for 25% more performance raster, plus you get DLSS3

dlss 3 is an urban legend so is frame generation

So you're saying its an awesome buy then and you agree with how its being priced?

The biggest issue is they can't sell these "cheap". Imagine if the masses get their hands on these, they wouldn't sell a GPU for years with the way the software is stagnating. They need to drip feed the performance by keeping prices high hoping the software starts to demand faster GPU's. Most are only just going to 1440p and my 3060Ti handles that easily. The same issue would affect AMD. Who wouldn't buy one for £650?

You will be fine. I also have a 4090 FE. I have the older HX750i (More like the new HX850i) - I'm using the two type 4 cables that have the daisy chain twin 8 pin PCIe plugged into the octopus adaptor. Even when maxed overclocked and pulling well over 500W, my adaptor doesn't get that warm to the touch.
On Corsair's HX PSU's the type 4 12v rails can pull upto 300W per rail, which is the same as the powerdraw as to the CPU EPS connectors.
This is why the new Corsair's 600W PCIe 5.0 cables only have two type 4 8pin to 16pin 12VHPWR.

​

Yes I have that corsair cable on order. My concern wasn't the Corsair PSU or Cables, rather whether or not the crappy adapter can take upto 600W through just 2 of its connections rather than spread across 3 or 4.
Very happy it fitted though, didn't even have to force the panel on so I still have my compact unit with a Dark Rock 4 pro CPU cooler in there too.
Was actually an easier fit than the 3090FE it replaced and what a cooler design...there is ZERO flex in that thing.

how can a 4080 be barely better than a 3090 at ray tracing.

Huh? Isn't this the norm? Where a new X0Y0 card gives about (within 10%) the same performance as a (X-1)0(Y+1)0 card? I expect the 4080 to be about the same as the 3090. Indeed, if we look at performance over the past few generations we see that the RTX 3050 (GPU Benchmark 12710) gives about the same performance as the 2060 (13999), the 1070 (13499), and the 980 (11227). Or the RTX 3060 (17,084) compared with the 2070 (16120 / 18,196 Super), and the 1080 (15,350 / 18,395 Super).

So glad I picked up a 3090 for £650, I was actually getting worried that I made a mistake

For anyone running an LG OLED i highly recommend you download the new Windows HDR Calibration app, it has made a noticeable difference to the HDR presentation on mine and no longer looks overblown when using Auto HDR etc

The Windows HDR Calibration app is here - DirectX Developer Blog

The wait for the Windows HDR Calibration app is over! If you're on Windows 11 and want to calibrate your HDR-capable device, you can now go to the Microsoft Store and download the app.

devblogs.microsoft.com

One way to get people to test win 11 for them

If it's ok with everyone -

I will start building an owners thread later.

Please, please what ever you do dump the "Roll of Honour" name rubbish. There is no honour in spending money on a product, and a roll of honour is supposed to be a respected list of heroes or those who lost their lives defending against tyranny in a war etc.


Rename it to "Owners list" there is no need to make it anything more than that.

Great software OpenRGB, nice and light to control my Razer keyboard and mouse RGB without the Razer bloatware. (Why Razer decided to force you to download their software to change RGB, rather than have Keyboard Shortcuts, is beyond me...)

4080 is DOA lol. What a **** product hahahah. Needs a price drop to 900$ max like yesterday…
Real 900$ proce too, not fake.

Yeah, I just order one as their instock now.

Does someone from overclockers want to defend the fact that they have the ASUS 4090 Tuf OC at £550 above MSRP? TBF ASUS themselves are selling their own card at £380 over their own MSRP, which is kind of funny.

I'd buy one at up to $900 easy. A quieter and coaler running card than my 3080 Ti undervolted, yet still pushing more frames. A win win especially after selling the 3080 Ti FE and just adding a few hundred on top.

But not a penny more lol.

3090 is a fantastic card, had one since launch and monsters pretty much anything. It's sat next to my keyboard now ready to replace the 2080ti in my second rig.

 

[zebsmattz]

Probably not allowed to ask, but where (in general) do you get a 3090 for £650? Second hand I assume?
