For those with the new Suprim is the new RGB logo on the heatplate meant to be brighter at the right, dimmer on the left by default? 90% sure it is and it's meant to fade across, but just wanted to be sure.

You can see the logo has a gradient of light brighter on the right at 7min in this video. So, yes, it's normal.

Is it possible to use https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32907954506.html 2 x PSU-PCIE that has a double end to connect to 4090 ? Or does that not work.

Personally i wouldn't buy psu cables from aliexpress with no awg rating for the cable given. Amazon has those cables with awg ratings (you want 16). You want a single pcie port on your psu to connect to just 1 4090 gpu adapter, so you need 4 x pcie cables (or 3 if the 4090 uses a 3 way adapter, like mine). Cablemod sells cables too (but expensive afaik).

You can still use an 8pin pcie cable that goes into 2, but only use 1 of the connections on the gpu adapter connection end. I bet you're tempted to just daisy chain 2 cables (giving 4 connections). I was told this was not ideal. My gpu also came with a warning leaflet in the box against daisy chaining.

has anyone found a review that compared CPU's using the 4090 to see which CPUs are best?

I know the answer to that, my i7 7700K paired an msi 4090 is best :D
Seriously, it's what i've done. At lower resolutions i'm cpu bound, but at higher resolutions i'm gpu bound.
Someone tested msfs for me at the same settings i use, we get similar fps, he has a 5900x.
 
So you just registered and got an email. I'll try thanks. I was just wondering if you needed to have a Nvidia card at present.

If gross margins are staying the same (and indeed falling in 2022) it means that at the aggregate Nvidia aren't pushing prices higher relative to the cost of making the chips. If you plot a chart of shader flops per £ generation on generation over the last decade you're actually seeing the cost of compute go down considerably. GPUs have become a lot more powerful and cost a lot more to manufacture.

I know it doesn't feel great to see a flagship card released at £1,699 though.
 
I keep records of my cards with Heaven 4.0 as a benchmark for each, I have been doing this since my 660 back in 2013.

Putting all these together I have made the following to see the performance increases over the last 10 years specific to my PC.

I did change resolution on the test so have split it to compare but for me the 4090 is a decent 61% bump in raw GPU performance, excluding the dlss3 capabilities. I only saw a similar gain from 670 to the 780.

The recent score with the 4090 is 10x my original score 10 years ago on the 660. 10x the performance in 10 years. Wonder what it'll be like in another 10.

That's normal what you are seeing as all the leds are on one side as a strip and then they use a light diffuser to move the light to the other areas of the designed logo, always brighter at the LED end when they do it that way.
