NVIDIA 4000 Series

I’ll eat my hat if 5080 are less than 1200. Questions how will it compare to the current 4090 and what will you pay for either.

I am a bit concerned about the RTX 5070 price and performance. The 5090 might be the only worthy card at it's price point. Maybe when the Ti's launch things will look a bit better.

Surely if the light was powered from the third fan then the light would get dimmer the slower the fan speed and be off at fan stop :confused:

Depends how it was powered - may be a wide input fixed output voltage regulator to support the LED connection, or the fan may be regulated by PWM (constant voltage) and the LED have a capacitor to smooth over the duty cycle.
 
Think I'll have to accept that this 4070 ti super solid will have to remain on air. I already have the rest of the loop (for many years now) so that's why I'd want to put a block on it but not spend the extra on a higher card that a block is available for.

What can I say. It doesn't. It's a 4 wire fan so I'm guessing it is as Rroff said, constant 12v and the PWM controls it.

Possible the fan duty cycle Hz is so high the LED is simply turning on and off so fast the eye doesn't see the flicker or dimming at different rates, personally not an approach I'm in favour of but uses minimal components.

Why is the resale of the 7900xtx so low compared to 4090.. literally hard to get £600 for it

That is not new. Radeon almost always have had poorer resale value relative to GeForce.

It is something I factor in when buying a GPU.

It doesn't help that the 7000 series did not review well and not perceived to be very good GPU's by most.

I personally felt the 7900XTX should have been £800 at most on launch.

I would not buy a 7900XTX used for £600 right now, so not surprised it is not shifting.

AMD need to factor that in to their pricing, because their potential buyers do. You can't get away with £50 less new versus your competition if resale is £300 less.
