NVIDIA 4000 Series

It's what I have and I think so, even if it means no heavy overclocking.

It is risky with atx 3.0 as atx 2.0 PSUs have no load sharing… the 4-1 power cable could pull far too much power from a single port and you’re at risk of destroying psu and more while melting a cable or even starting a fire.

Be very careful operating on the border of usability this generation.

The transient spike control is much much better than 3xxx series… but power distribution is needed.

It does not depend on the psu. If the card is correctly designed, it will not be pulling much more from a single port - even with an adapter.
Also, they couldnt just make card that only works with 16pin correctly - the only native psu ready for launch is garbage Thermaltake.

But isn't it the only one with 2 12vhpwr outlets, I am sure we'd be needing both in next 5 years.. seasonic has nothing similar in the new lineup

Also how would the card know that it's pulling more than rated power from those dongles.. it can only monitor the aggregate power delivered at the connector

Good video from Adored - but it won't matter 4000 series will still sell in droves, wouldn't expect RDNA 3 to save us either as AMD will probably just offer small discount - its not worth their while as people still just buy Nvidia even if AMD offered same performance for half the price.

Haha So you think if AMD offered the same performance at half the price people would stick with Nvidia? No chance as it wont be just a new 4090 its a new PSU as well. I hope AMD do bring some performance because thats where my money is going, not these Nvidia cards with silly prices.
 
Not everyone ofc but it would barely make a dent as they cant make enough cards and Nvidia mindshare is too great muh DLSS and AMD still has people thinking they have bad drivers blackscreen etc..
 
What's the TLDR for the new Nvidia cards, it looks like 4080 & 4090 are releasing soon, is the performance a mystery until NDA lifts?

Apologies as it's no doubt in the thread but I've tracked back a few pages with no joy.

TIA

You will be waiting a long time. Plus you know you want it. If willing to pay such sums in the first place, why not a few hundred more? :p

The card I want is now over £2000.
I can buy the latest UST projector for that or even a VividStorm S Pro 120 inch self rising projector screen for that money.

My 3090 OC will do for a bit longer till reviews are out.
