Don't worry most will end up returned, ebayed or stuck on the members market with the typical line "I realised I don't need such a card and want to downgrade or it was an impulse buy" etc etc etc ... I bet you in first week this will happen if not sooner, it's that FOMO and once in your hands and tested and not seeing a massive difference that will make many regret purchasing them. Reality is most people after one from what I see are on 3090,3090ti, 3080ti and 6950xt, 6900xt and cards that don't need updating unless you do VR or have a 4k monitor that can do 120FPS+ and a cpu that can deal with such a card.

Is that strictly true though? Difference with older gen CPUs but the testing results for 4090 at 4k res showed only small diferences of around 1-3 fps or 1-2% generally in most titles between say 7600 and 7950. Could be game engines not fully utilising all the CPU cores I guess.

This is a wind-up right?Add to cart button appeared, went through checkout and all worked
Someone commented the other day they were going to run it with a 7700k!
But cpu and motherboard with pcie 3.0 in your 3090 build in your sig is how do i say it... not that great for such a card to get the best out of it.
Nope, I have PCIe 4.0 and I game at 4k 120 Hz so I won't be CPU-limited.

ahh ok cool. whats the benchmarks saying compared to the 3000 series?
You will be in certain titles, the evidence even from initial benchmarks is clear as day.

Nope, I saw the same thing - It was the Asus ROG OC.
I got it in my cart as well but couldn't justify £2400 on a card so I didn't go through with it.
Was tempting though.
Never seen so many GPU's listed on first page of MM for a while.
Surprised no one has added a review as a wind up

For anyone unsure if an FE at least, will fit into an O11D Evo, it seems to fit just fine.

Shame it didn't show if it works vertically.
I wanted to potentially go for the Strix, maybe, but I’ve got an evo, it legit just won’t fit, it will hang out the caseI want to see how many people buy one of these cards and then find that the thing won't fit in their case

I don't game as much as I used to and even with a bump in resolution to 1440p a little while ago the games I do play run fine on my 1070 so unless it blows up *touches wood* I won't be rushing to splurge any money on a new one.

Hoping prices are released soon.
Also see **** had a special registration event, where people who registered will get first dibs on the cards.

no one will sell b4 2pm, nvidia god rules, unless he bought it on action for 4k haha
Yup you're right the cpu is pcie 4.0 and I got confused as B560 chipset is pcie 3.0 on the motherboard but the gpu will be using 1st slot to cpu at 4.0.
Make sure you are on latest BIOS for that motherboard when you install the 4090 in case it doesn't get recognised correctly on POST.
