Agreed, I fancy a 4090 but can't help but feel it will be complete overkill for my needs.
I too fancied a 4090/Ti but I just can’t justify it when I only turn my pc on once a week now.
The games you listed run great on a GTX1080, why should anyone upgrade. People must be proper crazy on marketing to be buying new GPU's to play these games that have mobile phone graphics
True, I play warzone maxed out on a 32” 4K 144Hz monitor and average around 120-130fps and it dips to low 90’s in heavy gunfire but it’s never stuttered and still feels really smooth no matter what FPS is showing.

Unless a 4090 was going to double the FPS in games then I see no point spending £2000 to give me 10-20 FPS more when I can put the money towards more unneeded motorbike accessories :p
 
What's a bigger joke than the actual size and stupidity of the 4090.....that's right a GPU at £2k lmao. OCUK having a giggle. You've all lost the plot anyone contemplating buying this, 103 people need to be checked in to the local nut house somewhere.

It's £279 more than the 3090FE at launch. Is £279 the difference between sanity and insanity? :cry:
 
Hi there


Several 4090 Series cards are now live at OcUK, with more been added, this beast features 16384 Cuda Cores, a whopping 384-Bit memory interface with 24GB of GDDR6X:
NVIDIA RTX 4090 Series - Browse NOW!

There is no pricing yet, prices in product descriptions are a "GOOD GUESS" but by no means a guarantee, they could increase or drop, nothing is final until 2pm on October the 12th which is when you will be able to order cards, we expect to have several hundred cards in stock for the launch. The £1679 MSRP will only be for basic AIB cards in very limited quantity, so order with caution as these will sell out and over sell. The OC models will be shipped in greater numbers with far better availability but of course cost more.




4080 16GB Series cards are now live at OcUK, with more been added over the coming days and weeks, this amazing card features 9728 Cuda Cores, 256-Bit memory interface and 16GB of GDDR6X:
NVIDIA RTX 4080 16GB Series - Browse NOW!

Again there is no pricing yet, prices in product descriptions are guess work and not a guarantee of pricing which can change, the 4080 Series will be available sometime in November which is yet to be confirmed. The £1269 MSRP AIB cards which will be available in limited quantities no doubt with OC models costing more and having better supply. Again nothing is yet confirmed, keep checking NVIDIA website and this thread for further updates.




4080 12GB Series cards are now live at OcUK, with more been added over the coming days and weeks, this card features 7680 Cuda Cores, 192-Bit memory interface and 12GB of GDDR6X:
NVIDIA RTX 4080 12GB Series - BROWSE NOW!

Again there no pricing yet, prices in product descriptions are guess work and no guarantee, we expect prices to start from around £949 for none OC models, with OC models costing more. Keep an eye on NVIDIA website and OcUK forums for further updates.



NVIDIA RTX 3000 series remains running alongside on the 3060 upto 3080 12G, anything above is now on final deal sell out and once gone is GONE!

@Gibbo How is the website setup for this launch? Lets say I order a 4090 AMP Extreme from Zotac when it shows "in stock" - if I'm able to successfully check out, does this mean I've secured a card? Or will it queue up a pre-order for me if the stock runs out while I put my order in?

Thanks

I’ve just ordered a new case from the OC store and asked the same question, and was told if there’s no stock then it’ll go onto back order.

Cheers for confirming. Bit of a lottery then - as there'll still be hundreds of people wanting to buy on release, which will be enough to exhaust stock of some models.

Pick the wrong card, and OCUK's system will then take payment, preventing you from quickly cancelling to order a card that is in stock.

Hopefully @Gibbo will give us a more accurate idea of which card to order if we want one on day one :)
 
Not FOMO for me - just itching for extra performance. Had a 3090 for best part of 2 years at this point, I have games that need more performance at 4K and in VR, so excited to get an upgrade :)
Closer to 18 months... you had a 3080 at launch no?
Either way, 2 years is not a very long time for a top-tier GPU. My GTX970 lasted 6 years before felt the need to upgrade.

Im curious what games your 3090 isnt delivering enough performance in? Esp when the 4090 at 4k is likely to be offering single-digit FPS increases anyway. Maybe double digit on some titles, but in those its likely already well past the point it makes a difference.
Like would getting 70FPS in Cyberpunk instead of 62FPS really make any difference?
Is getting 165FPS instead of 155FPS in CoD going to change anything?

Considering its likely to cost £2000 for this upgrade, each of those extra FPS is costing you £££.

I think anybody claiming to be buying a new 4090 when they already have top-tier 30 card is kidding that its anything but a weird flex, or FOMO.

If the card is used for work, that might be something else. But even then... how long to recoup the money?

Single digit increase? Spiderman alone in 4k Native with max settings and ray tracing goes from 55-65fps to 115-125fps from my 3080 to a 4090 (with a 3090 only been 5-10% stronger than my 3080).

Tons of games cant reach native 4k 120 which is what I want out of the card.

The website updates typically every 60s so if 100 people are all ordering the same card within that 60s window and we say only have 50pc then of course half the customers won't get a card even though it showed in stock. I think this is an issue on website as they simply don't update in realtime and even when they do if the customer load is so high it is causing slow downs then of course the website is also slower in updating.

As these cards are near as dammit £2000 were not expecting total chaos this time round and we expect at most to sell 1000 cards on day one, whereas I think on the 3080 10G we had pre-sold like 14,000 cards in first 24hrs as NVIDIA literally shocked the market with both performance and price.

This time round performance is insane, but price is also very high, it totally depends where you sit, the kind of customer buying a 3090 or 3090Ti at launch will of course feel the 4090 is an absolute bargain due to how much quicker it is for relatively not a lot more but I doubt miners will be attempting to buy and I doubt scalpers will want to risk it as well, supply is also pretty decent for this first wave of stock, we have no idea on second waves yet however so we shall see.

My advice is be on the website from around 13:50 and be ready to buy we will do everything we can to ensure website handles the load and we get orders out, but I have no crystal ball how the day will actually go is an unknown.

Cards in stock will show 10+
Cards not in stock will remain as pre-order.

I shall post up which brands to focus on buying for forum members in the morning next Wednesday a few hours before launch to give forum members the heads up on which cards to be buying.

it is fair to say any SKU listed at MSRP anywhere will be a major issue regarding wait times, they are typically just a handful of units and of course 100's of people will attempt to buy them, scalpers will also target MSRP SKU's as well, so my advice if you want MSRP buy an FE, if you want an OC card then order one as supply on OC models from AIB's will be vastly superior to MSRP models.

I just want a better gaming experience i.e. in msfs with vr i struggle to get 30 fps, i think a 4090 will increase that to atleast 45 fps, that extra 15 fps can make a difference, it makes it playable.

You do realise this is what people say EVERY single generation of cards? I've seen this statement (though it was about 60FPS back in the days) almost since first 4k monitors shown up on the market. And it turns out quickly after release that no, newest gen still can't do it in newest games. So, people wait for another and another and another... and meanwhile stuff is being added to newest games all the time to make them look better but also work slower and slower in 4k on Ultra. There's really only one cure for that and it's not a new GPU usually, but instead to drop the settings a bit lower than Ultra. In most cases there's min. difference in image quality but FPS can shoot up by even 100%+ at times. It's that or spend (soon to be the norm if NVIDIA has their way) £2k+ every 2 years chasing that goal which always runs away soon afterwards again and again.

You have a source for any of that? While I dont doubt it might indeed be a bigger uplift in some titles, Id be amazed if its more than double as you claim here.Especially outside of RT and without DLSS 3.

Why are people so allergic to just turn a couple settings down if you absolutely must hit 4k 120? Or let Geforce Experience do it for you.
