Haha, I don't think I'm really disagreeing with you, it really depends if you're defining 'good' as purely performance based - or price to performance.Feel free to explain your logic.
Do you think the 4080 is good at £1200?
Yup, my room is getting very toasty now in the heat, dropped back to my original undervolt of .825 @1800 from .875 @ 1915 on the 3080 fe and it has helped a good bit but still not great. Ada is a beast in this department, nvidia should have marketed this given the forum decided that power efficiency/consumption was the most important thing and by a good chunk at that too especially when Lisa/AMD made all the efficiency claims of chiplet/rdna 3 and it was lapped up, power efficiency/consumption probably isn't a factor now though.
Oh so true mate, im gonna undervolt my 3090 later like i did last year, that extra 60/70w off that gpu makes a hell of a difference!

Purely performance based. Value seems to no longer exist in the GPU market and I have now accepted that if I want to keep gaming at the bleeding edge (which I do as I now play VR a lot) that it will cost me around two grand every couple of years unless I skip a launch.

Use HWInfo, not Afterburner.

Is getting toasty here too, just put together a new rig with a 4090 so I'll try and set it on fire later as it's downloading jedi survivor at the minute ( freebie with ryzen ), I'll have to play on my 3080 peasant edition in the meantime.

GPU Z has a spot in the sensors tab for hot spot
in this recent warm weather the asus strix is reaching 91+C hotspot
This is where watercooling comes in on its own! hotspot and mem junction temps are sitting around 68c and below! Core still sitting under 48c, normal climate for uk would be around 40-42 so not staggering higher despite the increase in ambient temps.
Only problem is, the radiator literally becomes a radiator and the whole room becomes a furnace

as for myself i wouldnt expect to see 91c+ hotspot (non hotspot is 73c) with 27.8c ambient temp considering the strix is supposed to have the best non water cooling

4090 FE finally out of stock.
Think it was out of stock for a couple of days? I looked last night and it was anyway.
EDIT:
Showing on the main tab, before when you clicked on "buy now", it brought you to another page but was saying out of stock there.

How bad the 4000 series line up is - they could easily add a grand to the 4090 price and probably sell just as well, while the cards below that need about a third knocked off the price and then they'd probably sell as many as they could make - and it isn't like there are production issues of a scale which would dictate higher prices and if they can't make them profitable at around 2/3rds of the current prices they are really bad at their job. Whoever was product manager or whatever on this line-up needs firing.

Is the 4060 really the 4050 in "Nvidia disguise" or was the 4060Ti the 4050
