    *** NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 4090 STOCK SITUATION & OcUK YOUTUBE REVIEWS - NO COMPETITOR DISCUSSION ***

    Damn, I was going to list the Irish retailer here but I think that breaks the rules. They had 3 inno3d cards in stock and very few people knew about it.

    Will you be able to get a refund on the UK VAT? One Irish retailer actually had 3 4090s in stock, took about 24 hours for them to sell. And there were a few German sites that sell to Ireland.

    It pretty much is, if you can get electricity for less than $0.08 KW/H you can turn a small profit.

    If there were stock of the FE people would be crazy to go for anything else.

    If you look at this adaptor from Corsair, it would seem that they rate each PCI-E cable at 300 watts. That would mean it is safe to use the y splitter on the cable and only use two of them to draw 600 watts...

    Will the 4080 have the same cooler? A quick google shows the 4090 and 4080 as the same size. Crazy to put a 450 watt cooler on a card that many only need 250w to get loads of performance. No ITX builds? :(

    It's a GPU on a leading edge TSMC 4nm node not a space heater, 600w on the 4090 is pointless.

    Undervolting is what the smart people will be doing. 90% performance at 60% power https://youtu.be/60yFji_GKak?t=941 The 4090 should have been a 300w card out of the box.

    20%?? There is no state with a sales tax over 10% and some have no sales tax.

    I keep thinking that Nvidia are trying to take a larger share of the market every generation. They give the FE every advantage and put the squeeze on the AIBs. But then when it comes to they don't put many up for sale. Weird.

    At least it was more than the stock alocated for the Irish market. Customers from Ireland are expected to order from the same supplyer as UK only that supplier does not ship to Ireland.

    Only 4 scalpers made a sale so far on the UK auctions. I think many will have to lower prices. The demand is not the same as 3000 series was.

    It only makes sense if it is true that the AIB coolers were desidnded when Nvidia was still considering going with Samsung. TSMC 4nm is a major efficiency improvment over Samsung 7/8 nm. Maybe the 490 is pre overclocked to justify those coolers.

    It's like they decided to come with the high end overclock out of the box 40% more power for 10% more performance (which in this case will work for undervolters in reverse) People will have to pump an insane ammout of power to get a 10% boost over stock speeds. I do wonder why they went with...

    Just because the website can't keep track of the number of orders?

    Very efficent card, the sweet spot seems to be around 300 watts and with such massive heatsinks should be almost silent. Do most people plan on undervolting?

    No crypto demand and higher prices, the perfect combination.

    The TUF was listed as £1,699.00 on the Nvidia from other retailers. It was listed as £1,999.99 from OCUK but of course was much more expensive once the link direted you to the OCUK site. I'm unsure what made the price jump from it's original lising on nvidia.com, it could be based on demand.

    Yes it's the software that is at fault if it is selling stock they don't have. This happened for the 3000 series launch too.
