NVIDIA 4000 Series

I was boring and went with a RM1000x instead. All installed now, complete with Corsair 12VHPWR 180° Power Bridge which means I don't have the GPU power cable crushed up against the tempered glass panel of my O11 Dynamic case. No melting cables .... yet !AX1600i - you know you want to
If you have the disposable income, go for it. It's expensive, for sure ... but performance is unquestionable. I have no regrets ( unless my power cable melts ! )

Which models have you tried and which was your favourite?I’ve got a 4090 now, I’ve had 4 of them but I like changing
I’ve had the Gainward phantom, the Aorus xtreme, the MSI Suprim X and the one I’m using now is the ASUS TUF. I’d say so far my favourite was the aorus xtreme waterforce.

Are you @JediFragger in disguise?
Nope, just money waiting to be spent

I think you and he have bought about 50% of the 4090's sold in the UK between you!

This is definitely skewing the demand at the high end, but drives Gibbo's "selling fast" statements.

The 4060ti altogether? Better getting a 7700XT or 7800XT instead or if you must go with Nvidia then 4070/4070S is the bare minimum really.
Bare minimum based on what, exactly?
Apart from the fact that it seems the 4060 is so tiny nobody bothered making water blocks for it.
At least they'll have the handy tub to keep old random PC bits inRumour is that it is all ran by a single Hyper Type R 580W PSU
8gb cards are pretty much EOL now especially if buying new, ok you can get the 16gb 4060ti but at those prices there are much better options like the 7800XT which is 40% faster.
Ah ok. Much appreciated. When you step away from this part of things for a while everything moves along and the gap between my rebuilds is getting longer with every one. Once upon a time it was every 12 months. Then the Q6600 happened and I think it was 5 years, and now the 6700k. Was looking at an AMD CPU too so maybe I see what I can find used for both and hope someone is ditching a couple of water blocks too.

Is funny, because some of the standard physics or effects you'd have in games where not implemented at all to make the PhysX look better.
) We can go back further, to AMD's Froblin Demo where you could have thousands of AI accelerated by the GPU. That didn't happen as well.
Thing is, looking from the outside, is much more difficult to have advanced physics and AI that eats into your dev time than go for RT/PT which can lower production times...
At the end of the day, players eat up what devs throw at them and defend what they're attached to emotionally. I mean if I said the gameplay from TLOU and HZD is kinda "cheap" people will probably be real mad!
. But at the end of the day, they don't inovate, just have a nice story and decent implementation. Until devs push physics, ai and gameplay elements more towards realism, we're not gonna see much more than the same ol' concepts rehashed over and over again. Akin to just playing more advanced modded version of the same thing.

I didn't like physx at all for this reason especially since it was locked purely to nvidia. Physx was in very few games too, IIRC, the main showcase for it was the batman games.
I also miss the days of proper destruction i.e. bc 2, red faction guerilla but with raster lighting etc. this really was very time consuming to do and very static looking in a lot of ways, at least when games start to use RT/PT more, we should start to see this level of destruction come back again and look much better/realistic, at least in larger scale/open worlds anyway.
