This is what I mean - on typical psu you have shared 8 pin thats universal for cpu and pcie. Cpu 8pin is rated for 366W - hence each of these is rated for 366W:

I know exactly what you mean and that’s why Corsair has only two connectors but if like you say, every PSU for the last 10 years looks like the one you showed, why is everybody else doing 3 and 4 connectors?
it’s likely if your PSU is so old it’s only has 150w pcie connectors then it’s going to be time to upgrade it as it isn’t going to handle supplying 600w.

Here we go, guys. According the Moore's Law is Dead, who's discussed performance with reviewers, the 4090 is 80%-100% faster than a 3090 at rasterisation at 450w, and more, maybe even a lot more, when properly overclocked. Definitely worth the money if this is accurate. He says reviewers are very, very impressed, basically:

I'm more interested in the FE fans and possible coil whine, than performance now, with the price disparity!

This. I tried a 3090fe and the cooler was nice and quiet but the card produced so much coil whine. Sent it back and tried another one, same thing. Ended up getting an MSI card and has no coil whine at all and is nearly silent.

That's my experience too. Two Strix terrible with coil whine, two MSI Suprims silent.
Bit disappointed the Gaming Trio SKUs don't have vapour Chambers. The Suprim does but no announced price yet... expecting the worst.

Wasn't his source referenced for saying it was 60-80% faster? He was an AMD source too and said it was "below our current estimates for top RDNA3".

GN also mentioned this as well , said there is a metric ton of 4090 stock in warehouses ready to go ... let hope this pans out to be the case
Think I've talked myself into buying one so that's good news. Hopefully holds true for the founders edition.GN also mentioned this as well , said there is a metric ton of 4090 stock in warehouses ready to go ... let hope this pans out to be the case

So any more anecdotal evidence? Coil whine is a real bug bear of mine, even though I'm old enough that I shouldn't be able to hear it much longer

AKA they don't expect it to sell that well given there are no miners this time and most potential buyers are priced out.
Yep, hope this is true for the UK tooGN also mentioned this as well , said there is a metric ton of 4090 stock in warehouses ready to go ... let hope this pans out to be the case
Apparently they have been building stock for months now as this was rumored to go on sale July/August time but then got pushed back to October, but yeah the lack of miners wanting them and the ridiculous AIB prices means they ay sit around for a while . Hopefully they have been stocking up them FE cards

Sod it... just bit the bullet and bought a MSI MPG A1000G PCIE5 1000W 80 PLUS Gold Fully Modular ATX Power
sold my 1000w superflower leadex platinum for £100
Just incase because its knocking on a bit now I belive the pcie's on it only kick out 100w each
Better safe than sorry I suppose
Not looking forward to re wiring my pc tho
