Yup, at 1440p I'd be going for the 4070S (if it's gotta be a Nvidia card) and then deal with any future vRam issues down the road. Ultrawide complicates this somewhat for me but still a v viable option if you don't mind tuning settings for fps!
Nope, still sounding salty....... I mean, under that argument, is the majority of things we own in our lives a "want" and not a "need"?...... Getting a "want" on credit is surely up to the person who "wants" it and their financial situation, and not some person being salty on a forum?
I would wait on the PSU the ATX 3.1 versions coming out soon, have the update 12+6HPwr cable.
PSU would be fine, the 4080 uses less power than a 3090 but I do think waiting for 50 series is sensible. Imagine buying a 2080S in early 2020 then seeing it get destroyed by the 3080 later that same year.
Do you not understand his point? I could get a 4090 on credit, I could also buy one outright. But that's a want and not a need, so I'm still running a 3080. Because it's not sensible to either buy outright or tie yourself to a credit agreement at these prices.
Hopefully enough MSRP stock. I'd still pay £50-60 extra for an ASUS TUF if not grabbing a Founders Edition.
Doesn't seem to read that way in his original comment (quoted) though, does it?......Where he's advocating that someone should only buy one if it can be purchased outright, and not on credit, regardless of the price...... So yeah, doesn't exactly match up with the point you seem to think I'm misunderstanding, nor the comment he originally made.
Buying a 4090 now for £1600 is daft because in 9 months it'll only be worth half that, if your going to buy a high end GPU regardless if its on credit or not then at least buy at the start of the cycle to get the full value out of it.
I will say at least £90-100 extra for the 4080 TUF and both Kidneys for the Strix.
Again, this point you're making isn't something I'm disagreeing with, and is certainly not the point of the original comment I questioned "Only if you can afford to buy outright in one go, should a 4090 be an option for you."
I bought the Corsair cable for £20 much neater. Two plugs in the PSU, one plug on the GPU.
Or the CableMod, 12VHPwr to 3x 8pin adapter/extension cable, if your current PSU manufacturer does not offer a cable.
