NVIDIA 4000 Series

[keyser van someone]

If we go for a low number card and it’s out of stock, in guessing we go straight into a back order?

Humans have learnt nothing

Maybe , I hope they are put off and people that want them get them this time, but time will tell.

Hope so, but so far the consensus is scalpers and miners aren't interested. There's usually a lot of noise surrounding a new release like this but its been awfully quiet on that part except from the people who actually want them for the performance bump from last gen.

 

[Purgatory]

People are still sore from the being fingered for the 30 series

Very true and the 4090 has annoyed a lot that only got 3090ti recently too at £2k+ and now the £2k+ game is being played out again while their 3090ti is now half the price...

 

[hobib_ali]

People where scalping 3060ti's to make £30-50 and people think that it wont happen with 4090 FE because insert reasons here.

If one cant sell them on they can just return them.

fees are like 10 or 12% so thats like 200 quid, they would need to sell at £2800 to make a mere 200 quid

^... scalper alert he's working out the profits.

You need a very high end system to get the best out of this hardware, along with a high end 4k monitor. CPU bottle necking will be forcing more upgrades along with PSU requirements and bigger case's to fit them in. For many unless already running high end hardware its the start of a BIG spend to get the most out of it.
credit cards will be taking a bashing for sure and the credit card companys will be increasing the interest rates very soon.

Miss leading information , Most Games still use single Core ! I have i7 8700k and I won't be upgrading no point, if anything ill maybe lost 10 FPS MAX in 4k Gaming maybe not even that! 4k gaming is mainly GPU bound you can see that if you go look at the Benchmarks

 

[markthechef]

this will get scalped hard, maybe not all cards

I agree this card will be scalped hard , there is profit in it just wait for ebay prices !
As it will sell out

Too much hassle no doubt you will be able to buy AIB from retailers for less

I don't want to assume everyone thinks like me but I certainly feel different than last launch. I want one enough to open my wallet, but not enough to put in more effort than that.

The idea that I may not get one today doesn't motivate me to do anything extra. I care enough to buy one if avaliable and that's the full extent of my motivation.

I think the lack of excitement is due to my current hardware doing great for most of what I use it for.

This new shiny isn't going to change my gaming life.

Be interesting to see benchmarks at 4K with older CPUs to see the difference

I mean AIB's have already pre-scalped it at your convenience so there really isn't much in it.

plz dont say that

if it wasnt the scalping then everyone who genuinely wants to buy a 4090 would be able to get 1

I was on about people trying to scalp the FE which would make the most sense probably need to scalp it to match the AIB from retailers

And the 2000 series, but people learn nothing, over the cliff like Lemmings on day 1.

Oh yeah true, the FE card is the only one worth scalping if it came to it but its a hard push. With the current state of the world economies i don't think people will be more willing to fork out 2k+ for a gpu. Just my thoughts anyway.

Joker used an I9 9900k in his 4090 review.

I'll post up my results over the coming week if I get 4090 to prove my point..... CPU doesn't change the fps much at all in most games at 4k hence why I still have i7 8700k

Doesn’t make sense unless a scalper thinks there will be zero stock. If there’s 4090s available then a scalped FE isn’t going to fetch much.

 

[keyser van someone]

My theory on the 4070 to 4080 12GB (and 4060 becoming 4070 I guess) rebrand is the performance was too good they don't want to 'give them away' as a mere 4070 !!

That and trying to sell the 3000 series stock pile.

One really heart-warming thing about all this is that a lot of forum members seem really concerned what others spend their money on. Looking out for one another, brings a tear to my eye.
