NVIDIA 4000 Series

[Griffildur]

Leaked 4080 benchmarks over on videocardz website today. 50-60% improvement for 70% increase in price, although drivers aren't released yet

I am confused, how are benchmarks run if there are no drivers ?

I had 4 3080/90s and here was my experience

TUF 3080 worst coilwhine I have ever heard

EVGA FTW3 3090 minor coil whine under heavy load

Gigabyte Gaming OC 3080 no coil whine

MSI Trio X 3080 no coil whine

My worst was by far the Strix X 2. I'll definitely avoid Asus cards.

MSI Suprim was the best (again x2). I'll keep an eye out for the Gigabyte cards as well.

Out of interest to the people who are interested in actually buying a 4090, considering the news that they wont sell out fast, are you still going to buy them day one, just a month before the competitions announcements? It seems a bit crazy to me to just drop £2k like that when the competition could offer the same or similar performance for potentially £100's cheaper. Don't get me wrong if they're only £100 cheaper i'd probably prefer a Nvidia card.
It just seems insane to me with the competition announcement only 3-4 weeks after these release.

That's a good question - I might be tempted to wait to hear about potential issues with certain 4090 cards (mainly if there is coil whine) if it looks like there's going to be plenty of stock, and to wait on the 7900xt performance, but I suspect the FE will sell out first given the price difference to AIBs, so may just cave next week, as I want to get a card to last some time at 4k, and suspect the 4090 will be significantly better than 7900xt:- From the Moore's Law is Dead Vid the other day the AMD source says they expect top RDNA cards to be at the level of the 4090, but that's presumably going to be the 7950xt (or whatever they end up calling the card above the 7900).

Not had a Nvidia card for at least 9 months, looking forward to that WindowsXP-type experience again

and doom 1 hehe and diablo 1 hehe

Isn't it weird, barely *any* chatter about the 4080s, makes you wonder how they're gonna sell...

It's not supprising though when you have £450 and £700 cards priced at £950 and £1300.

I'm pretty sure last gen the 3080 was the most wanted card.

Do you know what the FE cards have been like for coil whine previously?

Then you Sir are worthy of the name donk

I have a 4k/144Hz 32" atm and I think the 4090 is overkill even for THAT!

im running 4k/160hz but only 27" might finally be able to max out my frames on newer games with max settings if im lucky

been chasing the 4k dream since i was trying to run a 4k 60hz acer predator when they first came out with 2 x 980's lol

I don't but I am definitely interested too given the price difference.

They really should have a vender that prioritises silence in its builds, think it would sell really well and stand out from the pack.

Get a Valve Index and try saying that

I was all like "Can't justify it and definitely will not buy this overpriced corpo milking machine!", then my wife just today "I heard new super fast GPU is coming but cost close to £2k? I think you should buy it, you like toys like that and it's not a problem for us. " - women... Now my mind is struggling to stick to my convictions! xD

Happy wife, easy life!

 

[Kelt]

Has anyone had a FE card without coil whine? Feels like playing the lottery with anything but a MSI card, and even then I know there's a small chance of getting a dud.

None on my 3080 Ti.

oooo this reminds me.... i need to upgrade my VR my old skool Vive is gonna be wasted on a 4090

how does the index stack up against other headsets? was thinking index, vive pro mk2 or a pimax

I don't think my 3080 has any. However I should get the kids to come listen as my hearing isn't the greatest.

Didn’t have coil whine on my FE 3080, 3080Ti or 3090.

 

[Hostile_18]

That's quite a few without it. Thanks guys, think I might roll the dice on a FE. Failing that a MSI, or Gigabyte (bearing in the lower and mid entry MSI cards don't have a vapour chamber).

Last gen 3080 is *still* the most wanted card

It seems insane to me AMD letting people go to their competition unchallenged, you can't tell me AMD don't know right now where the Radeon 79X0 XT is going to land and if they are bringing this multi-GCD sku into the frame... they will have known this months ago

Does the Trio? Not looked into it tbh.
