NVIDIA 4000 Series

Supposedly, but I've seen FE cards in repair shops for connector repair and I can't imagine the owner would be paying for that if they could have got an RMA with nvidia?
This was the only article on their website that I could find:
NVIDIA Support
nvidia.custhelp.com
Which is definitely not true in regards to the "our partners" part, since AIBs do deny RMA if you don't use the octopus.
I could have RMA my melted 4090FE with Cablemod adapter to Nvidia if i needed to and they would have accepted it but i chose a repair as it is a brilliant bin card ( very high oc ability ) and wanted it back rather than taking my chances with another which would very likely be a worse bin . As the repair was paid for by CM i chose that option but had that not been there then would have RMA it back to Nvidia for free which i have done with my 1st 4090FE
.Their "Partners " do indeed need to take note of what Nvidia are doing about the situation rather than passing the buck

I went for the 4090 so I can skip next gen
I get the feeling next gen may become an afterthought as Nvidia are making so much with AI now. Hopefully by the 6000 gen Nvidia will have some competition in AI so add some focus back to gaming again

Won't the warranty be void now if any future issues crop up as the card has been repaired by a 3rd party? also OCing is a pretty pointless on GPUs these days outside of benchmark scores.I could have RMA my melted 4090FE with Cablemod adapter to Nvidia if i needed to and they would have accepted it but i chose a repair as it is a brilliant bin card ( very high oc ability ) and wanted it back rather than taking my chances with another which would very likely be a worse bin .

4070ti is the worst value GPU this gen with limited bandwidth and just 12Gb vram, the 80 isn't much better at its pp either.
I doubt it will be an issue with warranty as i have already RMA one GPU that had been removed from the original cooler fitted to an EK waterblock which then had lm applied and the smd painted with varnish ( technically the warranty should be void at this point ! )... when it came time to RMA i put everything back to stock and sent it away and had no issue at all , received the new GPU . If i had to RMA it again i doubt it would be an issue that the plug had been replaced and tbh it probably won't even get checked just chucked on the pile with the rest . Lastly if i did get stuck with it i can get it repaired myself as a last resort
I do enjoy benchmarking which is why i want a card that can overclock rather than not but yes outside of benchmarking will not notice the difference

highly recommend the 4070, best bet at just over £500 and will do nicely until 5000 series.

Cheapest 70@ocuk is £570, when did the 70s hit just over £500?
Not nocking the 4070-it's decent@£580 but a bit overpriced-not massively overpriced like most of the range but at £500 it becomes a much better gpu.
If you look around can be found just over

Ah, found them, it's still £30 to high, more so if the Starfield code is of use to a buyer, another £30 less and the 78 would be irrelevant imo for NV's superior feature set albeit it's only got 12Gb.

How is a 4070 decent when a 3060ti was 7% faster than a 2080 and cost £369 yet a 4070 is 6% slower than a 3080 and even at it’s current pricing is around a +44% price increase and a -13% performance swing.

Couldn't care less tbh, if I want something, I'll buy it.
And this is why the gpu market is a mess as people don’t care if they are getting ripped off.Couldn't care less tbh, if I want something, I'll buy it.
They've been available at some points for slightly over £500 and there are some around not much over £500 - but still a horrendous price for what is essentially a x60 class GPU and not much of an upgrade if you come from anything recentish.
Soldato
That's not quite why it's where it's at, but one thing's for free, I'm not not buying a GPU or two per gen to make them cheaper for you to buy one.

£529 is the cheapest I've seen them here and everywhere else but (out with Asus) they've been the cheap 2yr warranty RMA to Asia ones, each to their own.
Agree it's not much of an upgrade over the 3070, historically it should have been as fast as a 3080Ti, but your paying for DLSS3 and the extra 4Gb, which probably makes it the relative bargain over anything else in the 40 stack.

Just bought a brand new Asus 4070 for £529 which is an acceptable price.
If I need and want something I buy. Not going to waste time and energy whinging about prices on the internet.
