NVIDIA 4000 Series

[Lightnix]

It's not really a smart choice because it's outrageously expensive, the smart choice is taking the £1500 you would spend on a 4090 and investing it into Nvidia, then waiting for the 50xx series, then selling your Nvidia profits to get the 50xx card for free

I did have the idea of just buying what I'd be interested in spending on a card today in bitcoin, then when the time looks right cash it out and buy the best MSRP release drop card I can snipe with it in the midst of the next GPU drought.

But this would be an unhinged level of forward planning for a piece of consumer electronics which I could have afforded anyway but chosen not to buy because of a strong sense of value.

Since when is gambling a smart choice.

MSI have come up with a novel idea for the 12VHPWR cable, kinda simple yet effective no brainer. Surprised this is the first OEM to do this.

When you win.

Ah yes true, nobody ever loses, especially not in the crypto sub

4090 only smart choice this gen, disregard all others.

Poor people not allowed.

Depends how prices are around the globe. Running a 4080 for a few days now; 4090 would have been around 60% more expensive overall for about 30% more performance. Add on top more potential noise and heat and high energy bill.

if its 30% more performance it can do the same task as the 4080 for 30% less effort so uses less power

Yeah, that can be a way to see things, but still... there are many other things that build up and the final price would be significantly higher.

Once graphics engines start to tax cards more then that gap will widen, the 4080 is a solid card though

Does this problem really exist, are people really that thick they can't tell their cable is all the way in or not that they literally need it drawn in figurative crayon to show them ?

Any idiot can buy a GPU as this issue has demonstrated

But I thought it was understood from the bloke who's been repairing the cards who did that video about the problem that it's not a user issue and a manufacturing defect ?

What's 4090 should I be buying?

Suprim x/liquid/waterforce? Weighing up my choices.

I heard they have better cooling and overclocking capabilities? or should I just get whatevers available and spend the savings elsewhere?

Get the cheapest one you like the look of and has a decent pcb/components and cooler. Performance wise there is nothing in it from basic model to top models.. just a factory oc that you can do anyways on a "basic" model.

 

[RSR]

4slot THICC coolers incoming!!!

 

[StriderX]

So when will they consumerise Grace/Hopper?

The nvidia faithful seem to put it down to user error, the shouty repair guy even done a video about that msi psu and pointed out a few things about their fix. IMO the cable just seems far too fiddly, it doesn't seem to take much to rock it out of position even when its supposedly plugged in properly.

Not that I give a flying **** one way or the other really, nvidia just seemed to use this ***** wee connector as the sight of 4 pcie 8 pin power connectors was unappealing to them.

I like your trolling style.

"1440p is horribly pixelated" bit of an odd thing to say IMO, the way some people talk is like as if even DVD was completely unwatchable.
If you wanted a high hz screen the earlier ones were 1080p so you didn't even have a choice between 1080p or even 1440p anyway.
Obviously higher resolution will be better up to a point, but "horribly pixelated" is clearly untrue.

Probably. But until then, as per TPU general scoring, now is about 25% faster. 4k is 24% faster raster and 33% in CB 77 4k RT. PT and CB77 seems pretty advanced, so we'll see... Not to say that the price of 4080 could also go down further...

@4GB means 4GB Not sure that the 4090 really struggles in many games as you put it. Sure without DLSS things like CP2077 would have low frame rates but it’s pretty respectable with DLSS and every card, Nvidia or AMD has low frame rates with that game.

In general the 4090 barely breaks a sweat with most games at 4K.
