NVIDIA 4000 Series

I don’t think people are going to be bothered that a 4090ti is faster than a 4090.

Anyone into this hobby knows full well there is always something newer and better just around the corner. It’s best not go get to hung up on it otherwise you will be upgrading every six months!

Is like the justifications about coil whine. Oh just get some headphones, I mean really? On 2k card you are happy with this solution?
Then there's the whole cable melting situation, with no statement from nvidia.
I swear there are a lot of deluded people on here.

You'd think with all these billions of dollars in R&D they keep saying it costs to develop these GPU's they'd have chucked a few dollars into ways to limit or mitigate coil whine by now.

I mean they can design chips that can do things from play games, to help solve some of the most computational intensive problems at the nm scale, but have yet to solve it whining like a banshee on crack

Indeed, the 4080 needs to be well below a grand before it makes sense.

If they hadn't got greedy, a 4080 16GB priced at £899 would have been acceptable to the majority of 3070/3080 owners looking to upgrade, who do recognise that costs have risen a in the manufacturing/shipping of these things as well as exchange rate movements since 2020, then Nvidia could have avoided 95% of the bad feeling now swirling around them on cards below the 4090.

Why do I get the idea that people are accepting the higher prices. It seems that 35% performance increase for 100% more money is acceptable to people. No wonder NVIDA's pricing is out of control. To my mind the 4080 is NEVER a good choice! But I guess I must be just a cheapskate - not wanting to spend £1200+ every few years.

Your numbers aren't right. It's 50% faster than the 3080, not 35%. Price is high of course; what my post was trying to say yet is that if you must have Nvidia because "reasons" then the 4080 is a better choice than the 4090 if they don't have a top cpu as the 4080 doesn't have much cpu bottlenecking like the 4090 suffers from

Not when you factor in the the $200-$300 price drop these things will get early next year...thats not just a reduction for new buyers but a significant drop in value to existing owners on the 2nd hand sales market.

4090 prices will remain static, no need for any Nvidia movement on them, but the 4080 is going to lose a lot of sales to the competition this time.
 
The FE drops seem to happen every fortnight so wouldn't expect one till next week at the earliest , so far they have been on 18th Oct , & 31st Oct ....

Unless you use RT. Then say a 3600x or greater should be enough for RTX 4090.
Think the 4090 is also better on fps/£ than 4080.

get a decent case and don't put the case on your desk at head height :D

seems coil whine is a side effect off using good quality whatever the individual component is called on the cards.



someone posted a video about it in here at some point, seems zoltac uses lesser quality component that doesn't buzz, but maybe wont last as many years

You seem to be defending it ? I don't care what the reason is shouldn't be expecting coil whine when paying this much being such a lottery within the same card

And I returned 3080 Fe for coil whine and that was when cost £650 I like my pc on desk I also enjoy building for aesthetics and for silence sometimes I don't want or need headset, replacement still had it but much better gets drowned out when fans speed up didn't like the idea of it being lottery when someone could be paying the same for the same card but getting no whine or getting much less of it
