Poll: BROWSE THE NVIDIA RTX 4000 SERIES AT OcUK !!
Soldato
Don't understand the OC models being quite a bit more cost, probably not much in it anyway? They trying to pull the same thing again by having little stock of the regular models to get more money?
I'd rather buy an "under volted" edition tbh
£ back up to $1.08, panic over 
Speculators make money by trying to have the largest possible movements.
Remember with the tax cuts and caps on energy prices, many of us on here (well paid) will save more than even the 4090 cost. So consider it a free GPU

Once upon a time they would just sell the thing and you could overclock stuff for extra performance, now it is all binned for speed you pay more for it and there is so little headroom to overclock it is barely worth trying overclocking anymore

Undervolting is the way now.
My 3080 Ti FE has spent 99.97‰ of its life like this.
Not saying that could or could not be meIMO 4090 buyers will have large cases ready for such large cards. Of course there'll always been that one guy who'll try and fit it in an ITX case
Although there are a lot of larger cases with restriction of 330mm out there when I was having a glance around some ATX solutions.

Poll kinda sums up a lot of the feeling about nvidia at the moment. Skip for me too - unless I genuinely need to upgrade for something in which case second hand 3080 seems like a good take.

Eventually they were always going to take that "free perfomance" off us, and they did.
I think getting 4090 may not be a bad idea if one could sell 3090fe at a decent price. 3xxx series will keep falling in price as the gap in new games will likely widen later down the line.
1679-700 for 3090 doesnt sound that bad, its what I've been doing every gen.

Only way I might be even slightly tempted is if the new gen somehow dont have the coil-whine of the 30 series.
The only thing my current card annoys me on is that.
Would I pay £1600+ for that silence.... nope.
However with power draws only going up, I expect coil-whine will be ever present.

Yes, the more and more I think about it and looking at the utter stupidity of prices, it is batten down the hatches for the short to medium term and drag out AM4 for as long as possible I'm going to get an 8 core 5700X/5800X, go to 32Gb RAM and now mining is dead, go back to buying used GPU's, I reckon at 1440p I'll be good for another 5 years.
A grand for a 3060ti now (basically what the 12GB 4080 is)...I actually bought a 3060ti, it cost me £480 2 years ago, and that was £80 at least more than it should have been, now it's a grand...

FE cards are great, the 3000 series was much better built than the majority of AIB cards IMO and I expect the same from the 4000 series.
With an AIB costing up to £500 more than the FE, there is just no value in the AIB cards IMO.
My only worry is Nvidia might change the price of the FE to £1800-£1900 before the 12th.

New FE cards already run at 2800 so way more than Nvidia states. I expect it will be quite easy to get 3ghz from an FE or AIB card if the cooling is sufficient.

I was gonna go 1679 not gonna spend more money for a card ...

I keep telling myself a good few of those 4090 votes will be "troll" votes but I think nVidia really has convinced people that it's better to buy the best on release.
It's quite surprising that percentage of people (even with the skew towards higher earners on this forum) have that much disposable income at a time when money could likely be much better spent elsewhere.

Still plenty of time for FE prices to be adjusted to £2k, just have to hope our new clown chancellor doesn't announce any further tax cuts in the interim
Also, 3090 FE cooler was trash, inadequate cooling for VRAM on backplate. Rest of the 3000 series FE coolers were very good though.
jesus christ, if gibbo is confirming this then the 4090 will be £2000 quid, I thought it will be £1600 tops, pushing it to £1700
So how much will the founders edition be on the Nvidia website, do we know?
I mean if i sell my 3090ti for seven fiddy, Im looking to add another one thousand quid for the extra fiddy percent in performance..
Trying to see if there is any sense in that, i mean if its truly 50% extra in performance then maybe it can be justified
Maybe it best to wait for official benchmarks?#.....
