NVIDIA 4000 Series

My go to card has always been around the 80 series, now with the price ranges being bumped up… It’s forcing me to look lower, at the 60/70 series.

If this trend continues… I am priced out of the 80 series. I can afford it… but I am no sucker to pay the price difference from the 3080 FE to the 4080 FE.

Hope AMD provides some needed competitive pricing.

Seems Nvidia have made sure this time that the price differences between cards will be more in line with performance maybe. 3090 was twice the price for 15% more performance. The very hefty 4090 price gives loads of room to adjust prices more in line with performance gain so maybe no card looks as good a value as the 3080 was. And that supposedly was a 'promotional' price.

I'll feel sick if one of the 4080 devices delivers most of the 4090 performance for loads less, but looking at that pricing it's 15% of the £1700 MSRP of the 4090, looking like price/performance ratio maybe much more in line this gen, meaning that 4090 owners wont feel as sick as 3090 owners.

4090 is a beast of a card - cant see needing much else for 4k for a while. 5000 series will be for high end VR, multi monitor high res displays for simmers and the like where a 4090 still cant deliver res&refresh fps.

To pull 3080/6800XT and above owners away from their very capable cards - they had to deliver something with whopping performance. If AMD manage to release in the same performance ballpark as Nvidia then it is evidence that they have been drip feeding performance all along as how would two competing companies manage to stay so close performance wise each time?

Tbf this time I don't see how it possibly could. 4090 has almost double the cuda cores of 4080 the difference between core count of 3080 and 3090 was a fraction of what its like this gen

You're right, forgotten about the obvious physical difference, though plenty of room to bring the 4080 prices down to still 'a lot of money' where the price/perf aligns. Lots of room to still charge a lot for 4080 even after a price haircut.

For the 4080 then to sell at £1450. it NEEDS to be 85% of 4090 performance.

So do many other retailers.. They are now doing the 3090ti trick.. sitting on shelves until normal prices kick in... £2k for a gpu is just daft really now in the state the economy is in.. Even the MSRP is daft now. It's all going to come crashing down soon for Nvidia.

The 40 series will be famous for the straw that broke the camels back...

That is because we have had more Palit stock come in and more Zotac is due tomorrow and Wednesday. :)

You do realise it is our job to try and keep product in stock.

By some peoples logic on these forums, our entire website must not selling anything as majority of product is in stock at all times. :D

That is the whole idea of website and purchasing team to keep product in stock always, so that availability is always in stock, it is bad when stock runs out. ;)

A little like 5800X 3D and 13600K is in stock, yet both are selling 50+ a day, but by forum logic the sales are zero, because they are in stock? ;)

Oh no, I dread to think of the issues you will have. I’ve been trying to prove that Palit are the premium brand 4090!

Am I missing something, it should be issue free!
Yes Palit have not bothered with additional VRM's and power phases, because is not required, but cooler is very good. The GameRocks are very marmite though, you either love or hate the looks.

No, it’s just a joke based on that users post history. I’m using a GameRock myself, and out of three different AIB 4090s I’ve tried, this has the best cooler.

Is the warranty two or three year Gibbo?

Palit and Gainward use the same coolers, just different designs and the coolers perform extremely well.

I think it is 3yr just been a lot of confusion as I think they changed it sometime back but the suppliers still believe its 2yr, when it is in fact 3yr.

P.S. Palit confirmed warranty is 2yr, no idea where 3yr is coming from.

That's a shame it's only two year, that's the only downside of this card for me.

The cooler is excellent though.

Let's see how long the FE stays in stock when/if they drop again. :)
Inno's and Palit's at hundreds over the FE price will obviously sell less and be easier to keep in stock.
