I think what you game on depends on the game. I play anything where a gamepad can be used on my OLED TV while sitting in my comfy recliner chair. However, if I am playing anything that needs a keyboard and mouse then I am sitting comfortably at an ergonomic desk setup.

The way it goes with me is normally if I'm playing a single player game or playing warzone with randoms then I will be on the tv and surround sound on a pad but if I'm on with a bunch of mates on discord then will be at the monitor with headphones kb & m

how can it only be 61c at 500watts, the sensor is on the end of the heatsink?

Fans could be on full blast which will have it sitting around that temp I imagine

nVidia reported 55c in that Cyberpunk benchmark when it was running at 2.8Ghz or something - it's weird that everything we've seen so far shows low temperatures but the memes, wattage, coolers and everything else says the opposite.

Wondering if nVidia and benchmarks so far are running at 100% fan speed or something lol

500 watt is like 1000 transient no? In addition to 250 watt CPU that needs a thicc cooler and it's becoming a bit ridiculous.

Presume max fan speed and a temperature controlled room, Nvidia are very very slippery generally but esp with this sort of stuff.

benchmarked inside a freezer

I think some are hoping Nvidia used LN2 or air conditioned rooms, though it could just be good engineering

JediFragger · 4 Oct 2022 at 16:06

Nvidia are scummy ****ers, they'll use any trick they can to give a better impression. Always have been and always will be.

Cablemod have released the 3x 8pin to 12VHPWR for a number of different PSU including Corsair , Evga, Asus and seasonic and seems to be around £25 ... can be found on their website or hopefully @Gibbo can order some in for us

WCCFTECH has their sample already

the gpu has a lot left in the tank, nvidia seems to be pretty confident, leaving such a big headroom unaddressed.. and it all seems to be tying up well with reported thermals

DJJEZ · 4 Oct 2022 at 16:52

Prices gone up again on the asus 4090s

srekal34 · 4 Oct 2022 at 16:56

2100 for TUF :eek:

Thats batpoop crazy if true. Someone will need to get his mind checked if chosen over cheaper AMP AIRO

I think the 3.45 mentioned by Kopite was the max core clock in bios - so may not translate to actual clock. Would be great if it does

Prices are way out of control.

Unfortunately the pound went up against the dollar which means that overclockers raise their prices

arknor · 4 Oct 2022 at 17:10

Can you imagine the prices if it was 1gbp=2usd

Griffildur · 4 Oct 2022 at 17:13

so, anyone up for the £2300 card?

lmfao

Back to scalped prices in 2020, will have to see how far they go upon release date. Can imagine these hitting 3k easily and sit for months without a sale. If the economic recession is true, it's gonna be some time before anyone should consider buying one.

Well last week Gibbo said if the pound to dollar went back to 1.14 then the lower end cards would be at MSRP and the top end cards would be 2k. Pound to dollar is climbing now and at 1.15 and if this keeps going then the cards should be topping out at 2k not 2.3k but what will the prices be on release? My money is on a healthy price increase irrespective of the pound being higher.

This, companies need to line their pockets at the end of the day or they won't stay a float or grow. No one will like it and plenty will talk about it but high prices are gonna be a thing from now on unless something major changes.
