NVIDIA 4000 Series

No regrets about my 4090 FE, monster of a GPU. Also frame generation works great on F1, dont think AMD has anything to match that.
I've had at least 4 AMD GPU's so I wish them well. But if you want high res/high detail/ray tracing, think 4090 will be much better than anything AMD.
Also FE's have good re-sales as per my 3080 FE.
However if I'd bought all the plastic/ugly 4090's at £2k+ I certainly wouldnt be happy!

So anyone here with a 4090 thinking about returning or regretting their choice? I still feel the 4090 is the more powerful card if you want the absolute best but it’s just the price that really is the kicker. I am nowhere near as pc savvy as a lot of you guys on here so much of the tech stuff on these cards ‘ launches goes over my head so the launch last night left me with more questions than answers as to how the two cards (4090 v 7900xtx) actually stack up. I think I am still leaning to the 4090 but it’s hard to really know I guess until the 7900xtx gets into hands of people that can put it through its paces.

All these high graphics cards need a almost perfect setup to be worth it, otherwise you are doing what we always did which is push around unrequired high frames rates and quality that if you are actually playing you probably won't notice. I suspect if you can afford to splurge over £1500 on a single component you probably have the other parts to make it worth it.

For me frame generation on F1 is absolutely ruined by the fact you cant run HDR with it on.

1000 dollars before sales tax? which exchange rate it will probably be a £1400 card and slower than a 4090 which isn't costing much more.

probably be scalped to hell an dback too when it finally launches, hope people who want one can even get a card before christmas

$1,000 plus VAT is ~£1,070. Even at £1,400 a 4090 is 20-40% more depending which model you want/can get hold of.

Yeah this is why I havem't unboxed my FE yet. Its really hard to say but it looks like its gonna come in about 15% less powerful. But its over 500 quid cheaper. Seems more of a competitor to 4080 16gb on performance but beats both on value for money. idk 4090 will definitely be better, question is by how much in the real world, and is that difference worth spending extra for. definitely wont beat it in ray tracing at all or come near, but everything else looks not far off

Only had a quick look but more than 15% in RTX/DLSS applications, I think? Was a bit underwhelmed.
The whole event seemed a bit lifeless too.
Even the 4080 will probably outperform both of the AMD offerings in certain games I think.

I missed out on the 5 or so seconds they were available, so it's a miracle you got one. I'm still going to wait until I get a founder's card. Whether it's a 4090 or 4080ti 4090ti. I'm only going to be happy with the AD102 GPU. And I agree the partner cards are tacky looking. I wouldn't be surprised if Palit made a pink one for girl twitch gamers.

only in certain games wouldnt that not be disappointing ? when the 4080 is priced higher , nvidia priced me out of the 4080 16gb for £1269 currently have 3080 FE which cost £650

Whilst I'm not happy about the 4090 price there is nowt I can do about it. You pays your money, you makes your choice. My money my spends.

What I don't understand though is some of the folk complaing, have sigs with £500-£700 mobo's, £500-£700 CPU's, very expensive RAM (low latency DDR4), Top end PSU's ~£250+, top end NVME's etc. But cant stretch to the most important part of the system, the component that will make the most difference. If you didnt spend so much on the other high end stuff that will make a few % difference and spend it on the component that makes the most when gaming - then I don't really get it.

All those components have risen massively and no one is moaning about those.

OK, the 4090 is comparatively £3-400 more than the 3090 MSRP. But seeing what 3090's are now EOL, this card is plenty for non 4k, VR, multi panel sim setups, as is the 3080ti and 3090ti. All within near as makes no difference gaming wise.

Match your GPU to your resolution and hz you are trying to drive. You dont need a 4090 unless you are 5m pixels or greater with high hz panel. Anything less - a waste.

High end VR setups are the same £ as a 4090, racing sim setups, cockpit setups can be in the 10's of £1000's and everything in between. Normal, 1440p (even 144hz) a 4090 is a waste. Unless you are driving 5m+ pixels get a 3090 or 6900XT..... they are still very capable cards even at 4k. Just not as good as a 4090 - which is made for gamers that have very high end setups.

The PC MASTER master race. :D

I think its more about value for money. I don't have an issue spending 1600 quid on a gpu if the performance per pound adds up. if theres a card though that's significantly cheaper and almost as powerful then that changes things.

Wait, HDR doesn't work with FG? Uuuufff, that I did not know about! And if it is across all titles, it makes that tech dead to me instantly. HDR is the main thing I bought my OLED monitor for, even if just autoHDR - if HDR doesn't work I would never use this tech. :/
