NVIDIA 4000 Series

[Black Noir]

I hate the fact Nvidia are starving the market of stock - its utter BS

Do we know they're deliberately starving the market of stock. The worst part of this (in my eyes) are the retailers reserving stock for the GFE invites and made-to-order builds, although that isn't so bad.

*wonders if OcUK will sell me a case with a Motherboard, CPU and GPU without anything else and call it a bundle*

No drops today then by the looks of it.

I really thought I might have got a look-in with the GFE redeem but no luck despite owning a plethora of GeForce cards over the years, got a 3090 MSI Gaming X Trio in my rig and a 3080 FE in my sons. GFE installed on both and account says I've gave them my details first in October 2016.

Are the redeem invites only for the recipient or If anyone has a spare redeemable link going I'd much appreciate it!

unless you actively used Geforce NOw then it seems they don't care.


Glad I got a car don day 1 locally now, had it in my hands 1 hour after release

Mostly only played league of legends on it too lol.. my old card couldn't even do HDR though (980ti) so everything looks way better


although I have a stuck pixel on my monitor that never bothered me but with HDR on it's a really bright green dot

Similar situation here - frustrating. I would love to second the 'if anyone has a spare link; after user2000!

Yep, don't really like begging for links, but if they only have a limited time before they expire then maybe my luck will be in on the GFE invite. No idea what their criteria is though, I'm pretty sure I've had one of every generation of Nvidia cards going back I don't know how long! Not to mention 3 x Nvidia Shield TVs going until recently - it can't be based on brand loyalty anyway lol.

I wondered if it might have been something like that. Got a years free Geforce Now with something or other a couple of years ago, might have been the 3090. Installed it on the Shield TV and maybe used it twice!

That's a good point if the link is time limited. Shame to see them go to waste. I recommend a fight to the death for an available link page.

Oof, what motherboard and CPU are you rocking if you came from a 980Ti?

 

[Rup]

I've got two 30-series FE cards and no GFE invite. Have rarely used GFE in the past so presume they are sending to those who did use?

Check out some Frame Chasers youtube, he shows DDR4 as being the better option (for now) over DDR5.

Ok thanks Yes I am not seeing many Benchmarks for 4k ultra gaming showing what's better out DDR4 /5 so not sure what to do lol ! If I can save myself £500 then that would be ideal....
I did find this online and it says average 1% boost if using DDR5 ram at 4k gaming so that answers my question

Taking the Average​

In total we spent a few weeks testing 41 games and we'll take a look at the side-by-side comparison across all those games in a second. But if we look at an average graph, calculated using the geomean, we see that on average DDR5 memory offered just a 3% boost at 1080p, 2% at 1440p and then one percent at 4K.

12700k, z690 tomahawk and 32gb ddr, I upgraded the rest of my comp earlier in the year but didn't see the point in getting a 3000 series gpu

If you have (good) DDR4 already, I wouldn't be investing in DDR5, personally.

So 4090 is now going to cost you a new monitor as well!

Because if I know enthusiasts and I do, that bright green pixel is going to drive you batty and wear down your resistance in no time!

Well its DDR4 Corsair RGB 3200mhz
Should I get a faster speed or will that be ok ?

I would have thought that would be OK.

With a 13900K and a 4090, you're not going to be struggling with FPS, what's a few more here or there?

Can some-one help, just install my Asus TUF and max power draw is around 308w in furmark 4K. I'm using 2 PCIE type 4 cables so 4 8pin into the adapater so believe this would be good for up to 600w??

How many PCIE connectors does the GPU have?

 

[Curtis vincent]

Its sooo frustrating as I would buy one in a shot if I got the email.

same here, I've still had nothing come through

 

[Born_2_Kill_83]

It has the Nvida 4 way connector with it

 

[Kelt]

It has the Nvida 4 way connector with it

So you need 4 PCIE cables connected to it?

In other words, you're not daisy-chaining?

 

[Born_2_Kill_83]

Yes I am Daisy chaining 2 PCIE cables which are type 4 so 300w per cable (150w per 8pin)

Daisy-chaining is always a no-no with GPU's, particularly with these power hungry 4090's.

You'll always get someone saying they daisy-chain with no problems, but generally, it is not recommended.
