That’s mostly rubbish from my testing of 5x 4090s. The GameRock I am using is faster than most other 4090s out there (including a Suprim X and Trio I tested) and top of a few 3DMark threads on OcuK despite all those supposedly superior PCBs out there. In short it makes no real difference (unless using liquid nitrogen perhaps) still comes down to silicon quality and cooler performance for the post part.

"As much as I dislike this PCB it's not like it's not gonna run just fine, and it should be designed to last at least the warranty period"

I can assure you, in 2 years time a second-hand 4090 will still fetch a lot of money.

Not that much relative to the purchase price, maybe £650-£700 like the 3090 now if you're lucky. Also consider that used 3090's are higher than they really should be at the moment because there was zero improvement in performance per dollar with the 4080, and AMD's cards aren't out yet.

*at least*
In 2 years time when the warranty ends most people would have moved on to the 5090, and the card wouldn't be worth that much anyway.

he only said the 'at least' part due to it being awkward otherwise, which is correct. so the *should* is a pretty important emphasis.

anyway, it's obvious that it is a poorly built card from a tech standpoint on someone who knows their circuitry - sure, im guessing teardowns on a lot of other hardware would yield similar headshaking, but we are talking a lot less money.

if some people are happy for an almost 2 grand card to not be built to last then that's fine, but i find it disheartening and a bit scummy from the manufacturers esp when you are buying 'the best tech available'.

If it wasn't designed to last the warranty period then Palit would be in big trouble. The 'should' part makes me question his competency to make that judgement, it either is or isn't designed to last at least the warranty period, not 'should be'.

Reports from WCCFtech say that only the reference cards will be available on the 13th. With AIB cards available later.

So likely the reverse then.


They peddle this as "news" but in the past it's usually been the case reference only then custom a week or two later. The reference looks to be a beast with the cooler anyway so doubt anyone will be disappointed with it.

The other, more important takeaway:

AIB partner cards will be much more expensive than the reference variants. We know that the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX has an MSRP of $999 US while the Radeon RX 7900 XT has an MSRP of $899 US. If we are looking at a $100-$200 US bump for premium AIB variants, that will end up in the same price range as the RTX 4080 which has an MSRP of $1199 US.

This gels with past rumors. Ironically, most people will be paying 4080 MSRP for a 7800xtx it sounds.

This statement makes no sense, they are complaining that AMD aib cards will be more than the reference model, ignoring that Nvidia 4080 aib cards are basically the same price as 4090FE's
like following that logic chain they are essentially saying "customers want to buy a $900 graphics card, but you may as well just spend $2000 on a 4090" like these two things are the same proposition.

Another way of looking at it, is close to 4090 raster and better than 3090 RT for the same price as a 4080. I’m not defending these prices but if 4090 is seen as “great value” and 4080 is seen as “bad” value. Then something in between by some paradoxical logic, at least based on tech site 4080 and 4090 reviews, must be seen as “good” value.

You literally can’t make this **** up.

The real problem is that if the 7900xtx AIB card is $1200 then it's 100% price increase over current 6900xt card ice for 80% more performance, better than rtx4080 value for damn sure but still not great value as performance per dollar is going down
