NVIDIA 4000 Series

The 5090 has a challenger

Meet Cerebra's WSE chip, obliterating Moore's law with a huuuuge 5nm chip that packs 44GB of cache and 900,000 cores across 4trillion transistors , compare that to an Nvidia H100 with 14,600 cores. The WSE is over 44 thousand mm2 of silicon compared to 814mm2 for H100

Just ordered a 4080S FE and I can literally feel my wallet crying. IMO the recent ~£200 price cut has made it a realistic alternative to the 7900 XTX.
I just got a Asus ROG white 4080 super and my wallet is not crying one bit as I love the card I got . Be happy you can afford a 4080 super and enjoy it you only live once ......

Was going back an forward for a few days thinking should I wait for the 5000series

But kept thinking it could be close to another 12 months before I could get my hands on one and I have 4+ weeks holidays to take off work, plus all the bank holidays this year

and also the load of money I spent on my 14900k/Z790/DDR5/New PSU/ Two 4TB m.2 upgrade would have been partly wasted without the new GPU

Finally managed to get a 4090FE due to a part alert to replace my 3090FE. (And I've already got someone who wants the 3090 off me which takes the sting out of the cost a bit).

Some things I didn't realise, it may be chunkier than the 3090 but it's shorter and actually a bit lighter.

I only have a 750w PSU, but it's a good quality Seasonic so I intend to power limit the 4090, which apparently drops performance about 5% but can save up to 100w.

Interestingly in the Gamer's Nexus 4090FE teardown an Nvidia Tech says that if your 3090 is working fine, so will the 4090 on the same PSU as they've reduced the transients. So fingers crossed.
