NVIDIA 4000 Series

Exqueeze me! I loathe Vsyn, even though my current GPU can maintain 120+fps on a 144Hz display setting in most games, the sponge effect introduced by vsync even at these high frames is just terrible.

This is why Gsync ultimate/vrrr comes into its own.

I'd rather be without DLSS 3 if having it enabled brings about vsync-like mouse movement latency elastics!
Is not for everyone, but I'm fine with how v-sync works in current games and if the performance is truly there... I'm in. In theory, 'cause at those prices I'm very much out! :D
 
If only all the big reviewers sent their review cards back and told Nvidia where to shove it at the current prices.

The reviewers are part of the problem and the "reviewers" love freeloading off these companies and getting free hardware and money in their back pockets. Even LTT admitted to being part of the problem with their 3090ti review as LTT doesn't give a damn about free hardware.



Like I said only the freeloaders and paid shills will be playing Nvidia is god and all the blaa blaa

My guess is most big reviewers will say how it's expensive but look at the performance not realising that price/performance has basically remained stagnate for the last 5+ years and won't even consider that your average American Jo would have to work for more than a week to be able to afford what they've been given for free.
 
Latency remains to be tested, but, if it is about the same as v-sync, probably a lot won't care that much if it brings up the frame rate.

There shouldn't be any increase in latency, since it should only be inserting extra frames between existing ones: before you had input every frame now you have input every two, but in both cases the time between input polls is 25ms (or whatever). But I also don't see how that's ever going to improve the experience. A fraction smoother but at the cost of artefacts just seems like it's a trade-off that is rarely going to improve the experience. The upscaling DLSS seems a much better prospect.
 
So the 4080 12gb is essentially a 4070 but they knew they couldn't possibly try and sell a 4070 for $900 without being **** on? So by pretending it's a 4080 they think it's a-ok.
Not quite... the 4080 12gb is a 4060, the 4080 16gb is a 4070 and the 4090 is a 4080... the real big chip, the 4090ti will be what the 4090/titan would have been.

Every SKU has been rebadged one level up.

At least the 4090ti will be a proper performance jump from the 4090 haha.
 
Anyone expecting future price cuts may want to rethink that...
During the Q&A session, Jensen Huang was asked about GPU prices. His response was very telling.
“Moore’s Law is dead. […] A 12-inch wafer is a lot more expensive today. The idea that the chip is going to go down in price is a story of the past,” said Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang in a response to PC World’s Gordon Ung.
While he's not wrong he's being extremely disingenuous.

Yea a 12-inch wafer is a lot more expensive today and the chips you're getting from them is more expensive but 20 series chips were estimated to cost almost a $100 more than 7-5nm so unless TSMC's 4nm chips are costing $500 and wafers now cost $32k he's trying to pull the wool over customers eyes.
