Well chuffed got my inno 3d x3 ichill today managed to get it plugged in & run furmark peak power draw at the socket is 660w whilst running that and other benchmarks, the GPU is about 460w max. This is with a12700k and 32gb ram. Haven't even looked to undervolt yet to reduce this.

Do you guys think I need to upgrade my tx750m PSU which is barely 2 years old (got it for 3080 launch which I never got lol) or if it works, it works?

Also pulled together this chart for size voltage and boost clock speeds for the various cards if it helps anyone.

If your pc isnt doing odd stuff like shutting down then it should be fine just be careful about adding other sources that will use the power

Nice one I did have an MSI 1000w ready to install but thought I'd try it with the old one and it works. I'll monitor usage but I think I've just saved £150. Sending it back to Amazon.

I must say I am pleasantly surprised by Zotac Trinity OC. Its quiet, cool and no coil whine. Decent PL for a basic card(495W). No void warranty stickers. 5 years warranty on top. It was a good choice over TUF or Suprim(considering lower price).
Can't wait for the waterblock from Aliexpress to arrive.

Anyone else in the same position that they have the card but don’t have 4 pcie slots on their PSU? Eek

If im honest I have not looked lol ! but its 850w Seasonic so my guess is it should.

So any tips on getting rid of resedue left behind by a sticker?

Can get 'sticker residue removal spray'.

yea 2k for a 4090 is madness... bet they will be 1400 in a month

I've seen Suprim X as low as 1850 but most places charging 2100, the margins must be huge

Knowing NVIDIA and AIBs I suspect just now they get any margins at all and to MSRP they actually had to come on 0 or add to it. It was similar with 3k series, to the point that now with bit lower prices they already are losing money apparently. The only real winner in 3k and 4k series is NVIDIA - they indeed have huge margins.

Not sure we’ll see prices drop below the MSRP any time soon, depends if nVidia will be sneaky and release a 4090Ti for the same price as the 4090 to sting all the early adopters.

Considering Jensen H. said publicly not long ago that 4k series are already too cheap as is and the future series will be even more expensive... No way they will drop below MSRP in the next 2 years. Unless competition will force them, that is.

Oh that's good to hear! Glad someone at Zotac saw the light and changed the colour!

Got any photos? Beautiful card!

That's good to hear as mine is arriving tomorrow and happy to hear its got no stickers stopping you taking it apart as i plan to get an EK block for it once they are announced / released ... until then will run it as is on air

whilst I respect the performance and technical awesomeness, I am not sure they are what you could term 'beautiful'. Michelle Keegan is beautiful

these cards are pretty industrial looking, at best but i can respect that, from an engineering standpoint.

Well I got my Inno3d Ichill X3 installed and have tested Far Cry 6 maxed out in 4k and Spiderman with max raytracing GPU never went above 63c at stock fan config lol and GPU mem temp never went above 66c haha, I'm impressed, The inno is a cool card and it was inaudible fan speeds never went above approx 46%.

I then tested a fixed 65% fan speed in Far Cry 6 and GPU temps were 45c lmao, Unreal temps this was locked at 117fps on my 120hz panel.

My only issue I'm having a problem putting the side panel back on my O11 Dynamic XL the glass is bending the cable too close to the connector for my liking.

I Hate this new connector I so wished they'd have put it straight on the end of the GPU coming out straight with their own extension instead of just following the FE location, It's really annoying.

I know @Gibbo said this was the smallest and lightest cards of the 40x series but don't let that fool you it's still big and heavy and still 3.5 slots.

I can't get over this connector it's doing my head in!

I'd keep the 1000w PSU, as it gives headroom for future upgrades, and your 750w won't cut it forever, particularly when it degrades over time.

DanF · 13 Oct 2022 at 19:34

the 600w power cable is so thick I've had to snake through the chassis, normally it would all hide in the gap and side panels hide stuff

I'm thinking I'll send it back if I do upgrade I may as well go for a full jump to say 1200w+. Also get one with the new PCI power connector when they finally become available.

some of the 4090's only require 3 pcie 8 pin connections, just a thought in case it's relevant.

8 Pack · 13 Oct 2022 at 19:42

I tried a couple of different cards now and using an ATX 3.0 power supply didnt improve the performance of any of these either stock clocks in terms of more boost or give extra headroom for OC. Exactly the same with Adapters vs ATX 3 cable.

I think they are using the 850w as an average because some people still use CD Drives or have loads of Fans ect ! Even water-cooled system will use more power so they have just come up with what they think will cover most people.

That doesnt happen a lot of these 4090 are in high demand and will be until next year so that price if anything will be more.
