NVIDIA 4000 Series

At least £100 over the 3080 MSRP I reckon.

Agreed. Would be happy with that considering inflation and general hike in manufacturing costs. Needs to be under £800 though the FE for me. They should milk the people buying the 4090 by charging £1999. You know many here will pay so they can happily stick it in their sigs. For some like Grim5 that is not much money apparently and he might even smash his 3090 with a hammer for the lols :cry:

I'll happily give his 3090 a home, as long as I don't have to admit to being in league with the dark side :cry:

Am i the only one here concerned about the power draw and the fact that energy costs are no double since the beginning of this month and could further increase in October?

I'm not so much worried about that but I don't like sitting in a small room in my pants, sweating, because my GPU is trying to give me heatstroke :cry:

Yeah, it's certainly something I'd weigh up when buying my next GPU. I'd be interested to see how well they do when undervolted. And I wouldn't be surprised if water-cooling gets a boost in popularity!

Just add a SAD lamp in the middle of winter and it feels like you have been transported to the Med

They only draw that power under load - so unless ur gaming 24/7 you probably wont notice too much difference from games.

For example: ~200W higher power draw, 2h a day and 200 days per year it gonna be an extra £20 or so per year.

Energy costs are a consideration, but the main concern is heat output because in the summer a 300w and above card plus 100w or so for other components will be very uncomfortable. I'm hoping for a 4070 with GDDR6 memory that has 3090 like performance for around 200w. The node jump alone going from Samsung 8nm to TSMC 5nm should be a massive leap in efficiency.

It normally would be, however as AMD have them spooked they will be pushing hard the clocks which were already pushed to where they should be (for efficiency) so when your ragging it an extra 20% or so this is why they have changed the power cable for the higher end sku's. Maybe the lower stack are easier tamed but its certainly going to be interesting!

that is also a concern.

Rumours are both are going to go crazy with power, although I suspect that something has Nvidia spooked this time so maybe AMD's cards will have another huge perf/watt leap.

The obvious thing is to go mad and buy the top-end card and massively underclock and undervolt it!

Poor value, but should be very efficient.
