NVIDIA 4000 Series

4090 8 times more performance than a Xbox series x GPU.

The question is, do you actually need 8 times more performance and what will do you do with it?

People need to seriously ask why they want or need a faster GPU cause I imagine a lot of people really don't need it

How are you getting 8 times more performance? A 3090 is about 2x Series X and a 4090 is about 2x 3090.

Just gonna keep my 3080fe 10gb now. I'm out of this game. Will let my lad start using my pc more and more for gaming and call it a day myself.

He and his mate (their 10/11) were blown away with my pc and the graphics when they used it at the weekend. That was the fun for me once. But I don't get that when you're paying a over inflated prices.

The value proposition is completely imbalanced.

Get a steamdeck, revisit all old back catalogue in all its handheld glory. Forget chasing FPS and tinkering. Get back to relaxing, value gaming again

Using estimated compute performance. As the 4090 runs between 2.6ghz and 2.8ghz under load, together with its core count it will produce an estimated 100 teraflops of FP32 compute compared to 12 teraflops of the Xbox Series X and 10 teraflops of the Playstation 5

I can't wait for Gibbo's post 12 months from now: For those of you still waiting on a 4080 order, I suggest phoning support and cancelling, as Nvidia have informed us they have stopped making the card. We can offer you an upgrade to a new 4080Ti for an additional £500. :D

Who ?
 
It never surprise me how little memory Nvidia have on their mid-high end cards, shocking, and the prices this time around, yeah im out lads. One less person fighting for one on release, lol.

Also, will 4000 series require a new PSU? If so, F me sideways.

They're completely different architectures so that doesn't translate to gaming performance.

Was there any update for NVENC announced?

Yes

RTX4000 has dual new NVENC encoders and can encode/decode 100% faster than RTX3000

"GeForce RTX 4090 and GeForce RTX 4080 graphics cards feature two of our new eighth-generation NVIDIA Encoders (NVENC), now with support for AV1 encoding, enabling a raft of new possibilities for livestreamers, video editors and video callers.
For livestreamers, AV1 improves encoding efficiency by 40% - your livestreams will look as if you were using 40% more bitrate. OBS Studio, the leading streaming app, is collaborating with NVIDIA to enable AV1 encoding within its next software release, expected in October.

For video editors, the dual encoders are up to 2X faster, saving creators hours upon hours each week. We’ve collaborated with DaVinci Resolve, Voukoder - a popular plugin for Adobe Premiere Pro - and Jianying - China’s most popular video editing app - to enable this feature on the top video editing apps. The updates will be available in October. And if you are interested in capturing high-res content for your videos, GeForce Experience users with GeForce RTX 40 Series graphics cards can now use NVIDIA ShadowPlay to capture gameplay at up to 8K at 60 FPS, in HDR."

Wow $900 for a xx70 card disguised as an xx80 series. What a world we live in.
Surely these prices are to try and get people disheartned, so they give-in and buy the large amount of 30x0 inventory sitting around?

You can use an old PSU with an adaptor. The new atx 3.0 PSU can take transient power spikes though that would shut down an older one.
