NVIDIA 4000 Series

So my Zotac amp ex has a 495W(techpowerup) board :(

I was hoping for 600W for the top Zotac!

Its also got dual bios - you will almost certainly be able to flash it with a 600w bios once they start getting listed and people try the bioses. Unlike the older zotak cards which were 2 pin you were limited, but with this 600w connectors i cant imagine it will be a problem if you really want to.
 
Other places many cards available, maybe all rich/mad enough to buy £2k cards have already got one?
Pretty much anyone whose got money to burn will be buying right now so in 5 or 6 months once sales have dried up and the recession starts to bite I'm expecting similar price cuts like we saw with the 3090ti on the 4090 and nvidia will then probably slot in a 4090ti at its old price point or slightly above to milk the double dipper who can't sleep at night knowing their card is only second best.
 
I’ve got a HX1000 platinum PSU, and each PCIe power cable from the PSU is split in to two 8 pin sockets at the GPU end.
Can I just use 2 of these into the 4 power connectors from the 4090 cable, or do I need to use 4 PCIe cables from the PSU?

Use 4 separate cables if the psu has them. Which I'm sure that psu does from memory. That way you are balancing the load on more rails on the psu.
 
Will the 4080 have the same cooler?
A quick google shows the 4090 and 4080 as the same size.
Crazy to put a 450 watt cooler on a card that many only need 250w to get loads of performance.
No ITX builds? :(

The 4090's aren't going in seconds, the other retailer had a batch up for a good 20 mins only just went out of stock on the last card.
 
Just out of interest, does anyone know, or can check, if the Inno3D GeForce RTX 4090 ICHILL X3 is a 450W or 600W board? Not sure where people are going to check
