NVIDIA 4000 Series

Sorry I'm not saying it is the average I'm saying that the average pc bar is so low that 1 in 400 users having a 4090 doesn't seem right. Wasn't there "only" 100,000 4090s rumored to be sold by mid November?

Perhaps the Steam survey is just that highly engaged portion of the market likely to submit results? And hence more likely to have more powerful hardware?

They randomly select people for the survey and they know who submits when asked from their history.

It's like any survey, you take into account some people are more likely to agree to the survey.

Who gave you this 100,000 number that you trust more than Steam?

0.24% of 120m is 288,000.

I don't know what to think but 1 in 400 users are willing to pay for a £1600+ gpu seems insanely high. I thought the average PC was pretty much a calculator that would play Minecraft lol.

How many people in your friend group pay paid 1000+ for a mobile phone? Is it more than 1 in 400?

Hi all. I haven't really been following the 4000 series launch or the equivalent AMD launch.

Can anyone give me a TLDR?

How were prices?
How was FE availability?
What's the general performance uplift this gen?

Thanks.

Read some reviews and check OCUK prices. FE availability was poor but better than the 3080 series. :)

I've seen some reviews and prices, I know prices were high, but I haven't followed close enough to see whether the FE was reasonably available to buy. I was more interested in the overall lie of the land this gen which one doesn't get very easily from the individual product reviews.

Benchmarks and comparisons in reviews will tell you the generational differences.

Yeah check reviews. As a very rough rule of thumb uplifts are in line with price increases over last gen.
 
Where is the best place to buy the cable mod adapter? I won a 4080 in a raffle at work and whilst it fits in my pc, I have to currently leave the panel off due to the cables.
