NVIDIA 4000 Series

I do hope my Zotac Trinity turns up tomorrow and not Friday as I've got an important meeting that day. Sometimes it takes an extras day to reach Aberdeen for some reason.
 
I have OLED 175Hz (Alienware) and I can definitely see tearing if I run out of refresh rate. I have always used vsync with Freesync and G-Sync, because it does nothing in the range of adaptive sync (which both AMD and NVIDIA confirmed many times) and it only kicks in when you go outside range (working as frame limiter). Though if you enable low latency in NVIDIA drivers or Reflex in game, it will cap your FPS even below that (167FPS in my case max instead of 175Hz), just to be sure you never spike outside refresh rate and vsync never kicks in.
Hmm interesting, so does that mean you have vsync enabled at a global level in NVCP and leave the vsync option disabled in games?
 
Hoping the Zotac amp can do 600W

Sorry to disappoint it cant, just read a review and its locked to 455W max, the lowest max power of any 4090. But it wont matter as so far in reviews the fastest overclock has been from a cheapo colorful card with the same max power and the worst has been the stric OC which can pull 600W. Its a silicon lottery as normal. You just just pick the quietness/coolest cooler and thats it. Pay nothing more for overclocked cards.

For most of us that are playing at 4K 120 what will happen is the card will downclock itself as will be under utilised at that framerate in most games ( excluding cyberpunk ) and power will drop down with it , on my 3090 playing 4k Elden Ring as its locked to 60hz the card only uses 150w-250w and declocks itself where as something like Resident Evil 2 would have it flat out at 520w where it struggled to hit a constant 120fps at native res with RT .

An extra day isn't so bad, If Sturgeon gets her way come next the 5000 series you'll be paying import tax and it'll be stuck in customs for 3 weeks.

I've had this same oddity with X4 Foundations, card will flat out peg itself to 99% and draw max power.
 
Same as me , my 1st Zotec card having previously owned Asus Strix cards but that 5 year warranty is nice touch ... i think Zotec are ok with you watercooling it as well but will have to recheck that . Yeah would like to know what the basic one does also but if the amp does 495w then i cant see it being higher than that tbh .
It depends - if Trinity is reference card then we MIGHT be able to flash bios from another card with higher PL that uses the same PCB.
I got Trinity as well, lets see.
