NVIDIA 4000 Series

Going to echo that, but Nv's feature set is growing fast and with NCP getting replaced at long long last, it's even more reasons to go NV.

Need to wait and see what 5 series brings, if they finally decide to actually put ample equivalent vram to end the overspill/shared system ram/planned obsolescence shenanigans without being 25% more expensive than AMDs equivalent(4080 V 79XTX), they might get back to two GPU sales off me again.

Nvidias feature set has been superior for a long time and the gap is only getting bigger now with RTX hdr. The only thing radeon had over nvidia in terms of drivers was fancier ui and built in clocking (this was never good for me though as it would always reset the settings every now and then) but alas how often are people really going into their drivers? AMD will need to catch up and get the following sorted if they don't want to lose what marketshare they have now:

- competitor to dldsr
- competitor to rtx hdr
- competitor to reflex/low latency (their anti lag as evidenced is not a patch on reflex)
- allow gamers to update fsr to better and newer versions themselves (nvidia are going to be implementing dlss tweaks and swapper functionality)
- competitor to upscaling iq still, the gap is further than ever before especially at lower res and with lower presets

But like anything with these features and so on, I suspect now driver control panel and so on won't in fact be an important thing to have....

Also.... cheapest 4080s vs cheapest 7900xtx on ocuk is currently a 7900xtx on offer from £990 to £950 and the cheapest 4080s which isn't on offer is £960..... Seems like it is amd who need to get everything sorted on all fronts now tbh. They should be at least 20% cheaper than nvidia.

Software feature set improvements are great and all but..

I wouldn't pay for 16gb GPU in 2023 at the price back then and I still wouldn't in 2024.

Nv can ram their tiny planned obsolescence with the vram/bandwidth allocation where the sun don't shine.

Considering AMD likes to "eat" more vRAM, it should still be fine
BTW, don't tell me that 414W is for the 7900xtx!
:D

:cry:




Funny thing is though, the 4080 beats the 7900xtx in avatar when you look at fps :cry: Seems silly to overlook the arguably superior overall package just because you have to have 24gb vram which to this day still shows no benefit over 16gb in gaming outside of extreme heavy modding.

Considering outwith the 90 series, Nv like to "share" more RAM, it should still be fine streaming reduced textures popping in with increased Frametimes.

BTW, don't tell me that 500W+ is for the 4090!

So pleased I got a 4080 OC Super! It overclocks like a beast too and playing Skyrim with all the mods, masses of tree and grass over 100fps is something else!

Couldn't afford a 4090 especially with a new PSU to go with it, this was the right decision :)

The 4090 is the card everyone would like, but the 4070 to 4080 are the cards that most of us actually need.
The 4090 is really for the best 4K experience, abut 4K gamers make up a very small percentage of gamers, 2% on the last Steam Survey, with 1440p growing, though 1080p is still by far the largest.

For me the 3090 and 4090 were just Nvidia squeezing a bit more money out of gamers, with the buy the best gimmick, after all until the RTX 3000 series ther were no 90 class cards, but cyrpto and Covid shortages showed people would pay high prices.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Before it spirals down the rabbit hole and Neil puts me on ignore if he hasn't already:p

I don't have an issue spending 70 money on 12Gb that's arguably not/enough as I'll possibly upgrade it next gen anyway.

If not I'll live with it as I'll live with the XTX as it was the right decision.:)

Thankfully as mentioned ages ago, I sold the EVGA FTW OC 3070 TI for just over £310. So the cost wasn't bad in the end :D

Would a 750 watt PSU be adequate for a 4080 super?

It's the minimum recommended but best to have 850W, as a minimum, though it does depend on your other components.

I would try using one of the PSU calculators that Seasonic, Be Quiet, and others have on there sites to give you an idea on you overall power usage.

I’d imagine so providing you don’t have a 13/14900k cpu, running a 4090 fine with an EVGA 750w psu and no issues whatsoever even if I crank the GPU to 550w.

Have a 12900K at 5.2Ghz. :cry:
