NVIDIA 4000 Series

Feels like nvidia doesn’t want us seeing to much of that at the moment
You mean 35 vs 60fps so 72% faster with dlss off when comparing a 4090 to a 3090ti in cyberpunk 2077

Unless it has a dark obelisk support stick (13:40), I am not buying it

In reality, anyone dropping £1,500 to £2,000 on a new 4000 series card, WILL be looking a new power supply (with the new 600W connector cable type.) Even if they are daft as anything to P away that cash on a GPU, they won't risk their current high end PSU and multiple adapters, to try and get enough juice to one of these cards. It'll be another £150+ on a new PSU on top of the money for a GPU, to get the card working with a suitable power source that won't make them always having that niggle in their heads about power draw.
I bought my current car for less than this total, taxed it and insured it too
It's just madness now with PC's.To me the fun element has been sucked out of it by greed from companies like Nvidia....

Shame really. When you slow down the video they are "showing" it's clear there is disocclussion, etc issues. I wonder if they will get in trouble with nv for showing that?
I’m looking to spend £2k on a 4090 and about £300 on a new PSU.In reality, anyone dropping £1,500 to £2,000 on a new 4000 series card, WILL be looking a new power supply (with the new 600W connector cable type.)

People may say this is nuts as you can buy a car for that price but I look at it like this….it’s cheaper than the ongoing cost of my wife.

Corsair just announced a $20 cable with no adapters required to make the new GPUs compatible with existing Corsair PSUs. The cable is a 16 pin to 2x8 pin single cable that plugs between the GPU and PSU and can support up to 600w

Fixed that for you a bit. At least they can come to the forums and get told again about it.
Would that be one of those threads that starts, "so I got my new GPU at last but my pc now smells a bit burney like there's smoke or something..."

As much as that comes off as a joke we know we get "Help Threads" on every GPU release.

CORSAIR Announces Compatibility for NVIDIA 40-Series Graphics Cards
CORSAIR, a world leader in enthusiast components for gamers, creators, and PC builders, today announced the wide ranging compatibility of its array of PC components with NVIDIA's newly announced 40-series graphics cards, including the revolutionary RTX 4090. From power supplies able to drive the...
Hopefully can get a nice sleeved one made up to the same spec using some mdpc-x stuff.
PCIe-5 Connector 12VHPWR
This original 12VHPWR connector by Amphenol is compatible with 12VHPWR (PCIe-5.0) and 12V-2x6 (PCIe-5.1) PCB-headers on your GPU. The difference…

"CORSAIR’s existing power supply lineup is already fully compatible with the new Nvidia 40-series. There’s no need to wait for future PSUs to support Intel’s new ATX 3.0 standard and CORSAIR’s power supplies already provide the needed reliability and quality components to support the higher power needs of the next generation of PC hardware. Whether it’s an RM1000 that’s seen many builds, or a brand new HX1500i, you can depend on your CORSAIR PSU to power your graphics cards into the future.
Additionally, customers can now order official CORSAIR 12VHPWR 600W cables compatible with all CORSAIR type-4 PSUs, connecting directly to the PSU via the existing PSU-side connectors for unfettered power straight for your new graphics card - no PCIe adapter required. With sense-wires configured to 600W, your graphics card will know it’s able to draw its maximum power load*.
*600W load requires a 1200W rated CORSAIR PSU or higher. 450W load requires 1000W or higher. 300W load requires 750W or higher."

Just to clarify, this is not a second hand build - everything new? Inc PSU, Case, Mobo etc still came to less than £1679?Just finished an RTX 3090 build, 12700K, 32GB DDR5, and 2TB NVMe in a lovely 4U rack chassis, total cost less than an RTX 4090...
Not saying that the 4090 isn't worth it, just highlighting what you can get for the money.
Edit: I ask because choosing the lowest price CPU, GPU, worst DDR5 32GB and worst 2TB NVME gets me to £1662.46 not inc case, mobo, PSU etc All from different sites not inc P+P
