30xx Series Founders Edition

Bit of a mixed bag. I found it can help in some things like modern warfare 2/Warzone 2, but do nothing in a lot of titles or even cause a small performance regression. I also found it could sometimes cause certain games to crash. If you use Nvidia inspector you can just enable it for certain titles which seems the best approach.

LtMatt providing Nvidia support. Never thought I would see the day! :p

I honestly think we may soon find out he is now a Nvidia rep :cry:
 
Not too much difference in WZ2 for me (I enabled rebar manually) but it’s hard to do a consistent comparison. I did however see a decent bump in HZD, which is one of the approved games.

Hmmm tough one. I'd look at some 4090 benches with that resolution in your regular games, and weigh up what you'll get 2nd hand for your 90ti. Are you going to get the added performance. If your 90ti runs most of what you play 100fps+ then maybe. It is MSRP. £300 less than my FOMO purchase on release. If you ar ean avid CP2077 player or your game has low FPS anyway (like MSFS) then yes.

You dont get anything free with a 4090, you are paying for that extra performance this gen, is your 90ti struggling with your favorite games with your monitor.

90ti will only keep reducing in price, so if you jhave money burning a hole, 2nd hand 90ti's on auction sold prices seemto be £850 minimum, some selling for £1k. So £6-700 extra for a 4090............ need to study benches with that resolution as it's 62% of 4k andI think in some games the 4090wont be doing much. My main game, Insurgency Sandstorm a 4090 is at 60% @ 4k 120fps.

VR headset (nearly forgot) with 2x 5M pixels - that'll require a 4090 for sure - you'd see the benefit there, your monitor I feel, in most games, 4090 will be twiddling it's thumbs. I'm sure an UW owner will chime in with real world experience.

my 2 main games are MSFS and call of duty, with a little 2077, VR wise, half-life alyx, star wars squadrons etc, to be brutally honest(with myself as well) i havent played any of these games on the 3090ti yet, previous build was an NR200 with a 5950x and 6800XT AMD card, and whilst a capable system with all the above games, struggled with all the bells and whistles especially call of duty (single player) and MSFS,

newly build system has a 58003XD and the ti, but probably a week away from real time benchmarking! but you you know how it goes, these cards arnt laying around to be bought, so thought if i could snag a 4090, i will probably be happy for the next 4-5 years where as with the ti maybe year or 2, obviously it will be better at maxing out 3440 x 1400p games
