NVIDIA 4000 Series

Earliest we'll be seeing the 5000 series is October next year, Latest is likely February 2025... more than likely the latter as unless AMD can pull a magic rabbit out of a hat, Nvidia are in no rush to release anything.
Sales will plummet by the middle of next year as people will wait for next gen and hold off buying “not that sales have even been great so far” so unless they plan to slash 4000 prices then I can’t see them delaying till 2025.

Nvidia aren't hurting for money, Gaming makes up an absolutely tiny number of their sales right now, As opposed to the past when it was different, As it's mostly huge orders of AI focused hardware for various companies so they aren't in a rush unless AMD pulls a Ryzen with their 8000 series GPU's then they'll want to get something out.

While they are doing well on AI right now shareholders won’t want to see a drop in gaming especially if next year also sees a drop in AI.

True, Still though my non existent money is on a January 2025 launch unless AMD can drop something surprising then it'll be October.

Trouble is with AMD atm is that their software is still sub-par in certain areas, until they sort that (which will take some time) then they will continue to struggle with market share imo.

The brief amount of time I had the 6950XT I had more driver crashes than the karcrapians have had plastic surgery... and that's a lot.

I think you mean Intel and Arc Battlemage. Rumours are of 4070-level and 4070 Ti-level performance; if they get to 4080 performance then the gloves are going to come off. Nvidia had said that they were moving to a 3-year cycle, but I'm sure they can change that very quickly.
 
I have a question regarding the 4090's power consumption.

Everyone talks about the headline 600W figure but, from what I understand, they ship with a 450W power limit. In order to pull the full 600W you have to increase the limit to 133% in something like Afterburner?
Is this correct?

If so then I'm curious about all the melted connectors out there. Were these people who had increased the limit to the full 600W or are 450W cards also susceptible?

Even if you set power limit to 600w, there is few scenarios where the card will pull that. In many games the card just sits around 300w. I'm currently playing lies of P at 4k 120hz and the 4090 is doing between 240w and 290w and the GPU temp 41c

Hahaha


I always knew that GeForce FX 5800 would come in handy one day...

I just don't get nV and VRAM. What's the point in giving one variant of the 4060 16GB VRAM and sticking with 12 for the 4070 Super. Really? Just don't get it.
 
Interested in an upgrade from a 1080ti for gaming + stable diffusion. Where's the sweet spot on the 4000 series and is it prudent to just go big on 5000 series?

Budget? 4070Ti Super w/16GB due soon to drop according to rumour (towards end of Jan), might give you an option.
I can stretch all the way based on current gen prices. Historically the big boy card was always a mugs game. However, the 1080ti I got not long after launch for under £700. Just seems crazy the equivalent top card has over doubled in price but it's all relative to the cost of the mid tier hence the bang for buck question
 
The way nVidia are going is likely just going to develop more problems for them; more people only buying second hand or waiting for inventory clear outs on older generations, more people holding on to GPUs 1-2 generations longer than they would have so effectively spending the same or even less money with nVidia over time, etc.
