NVIDIA 4000 Series

Watercool

Same. Watercooled closed loop. I just have to decide if I wait for the MSI, plunge into giga, or settle for inno3d.

Keep flipping between "it's only money, get the giga" to "it's lots of money and the card is in a case so you won't see it...get the inno" haha

Did a bit of measuring and can confirm a Corsair K63 keyboard and a PS5 both fit inside a Lian Li 011D XL so i will assume a Strix should fit as well

The Asus ROG 4090 is comedy sized. Won't fit in many cases and is longer than the STRIX 3090 Ti which was previously the long card benchmark.

Madness.

I checked the measurements and it'll even fit in a o11 air mini... Barely lmao

The closer we get to launch day the more and more I'm tempted to get the 4090. Damn I'm a sucker for new shiny tech. I want to see 120fps in 4k on my OLED with RT cranked!

They're saving that bombshell for the the RTX 6000 series. It'll be 8~12X faster, need dual 1500w PSUs and have exclusive access to DLSS 6.0 which injects 10 frames for for every 2 rendered.

So is the maths of that 12 / 2 so already x6 times faster just from DLSS 6.0 alone. Then some multi chip setup for the other 200%. All running at or above their max frequency to help out the PSU and energy companies plus prevent longevity.

Since cheating, I mean "creative" solutions, are becoming the norm, could screen manufacturers not help out by releasing fake, I mean "enhanced", panels which add a blurr coating so that the input only needs to be 1080P but when viewed with the Emperor's New Glasses looks like 8K or 16K.

When everyone is faking stuff, it is important to not be left behind.

Some time ago the consoles were laughed at for implementing this technique. How the PCMR has changed its tune!

You think so?

I would have thought (or hope) that with the prices it would put off a lot of people

I think all the stock will sell out day 1

It was quicker for me to put the PS5 in which confirmed it fits no problem In all honesty unless the Stix is under £2000 which it wont be then I'm getting the FE card

Then you will need a new OLED that can handle over 120fps as your wasting frames!!!

God damn that is one expensive waterblock. I know the rear memory is also water cooled but damn! I'll be water cooling mine but will wait and see what memory temps are like before deciding whether to go for the cheaper block from EK. €327 vs €201

No memory on the back on 4090 mate you want this block

Am tempted to preorder a block now as the arrival date has slowly been creeping up no doubt due to orders already placed ... just need to make sure i can secure an FE card first

So what are they cooling on the backplate? Seems ridiculous if there isn't any memory there. Its made my decision for me though.

Basically an FE 4090 if prices hold at the MSRP Nvidia gave us and a water block = £2k... what a joke. We all know they will end up being hard to get and the AIB prices are made up and will all end up over £2k and £2.5K for any decent model.

The Nvidia fake msrp games again and the fake shortages coming soon to make sure you buy the AIBs. ..fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me, comes to mind..

Because the cards get stupid hot thats why, have you not seen the size of the AIBs and the FE that will be limited to 450w or 500w max and the AIBs all decent models will do over 600w and soon the dual power connector models will be out that can take 1200w input power but limits yet unknown.. They are coming and you will see that on the 4090ti too when that appears.
