There is pretty much no meaningful performance gain from any additional overclocking headroonm, and the FE/Zotac/Strix all have the same 450w power envelope, so what you are doing is a pointless exercise and yes, dumb. It is classic irrational FOMO. :D

Pretty sure the FE and Strix can go to 600w?

In any case i'd say other factors are more important. Build quality, fan noise, RGB, warranty, thermals and re-sale value. All important to consider when buying any card.

Not only is your ultrawide monitor likely of a lesser resolution than standard 4k, there is pretty much no meaningful performance gain from any additional overclocking headroom. The FE/Zotac/Strix all perform within range of each other and all run cool and quiet, so what you are doing is a pointless exercise and yes, a bit daft. Classic FOMO. :D

Well I can always return it :cry:

I've been checking the website every few minutes for over a month. I literally had a dream about buying a 4090FE last night. This is so unfair.

Ask Einstein aka @Purgatory to get one since he claims there is no shortage ;) and 4090 owners with buyers remorse are stuck with cards they wouldn't be able to sell :D
he must love me tagging him to say this, done it multiple times now :p

Quick question, so my motherboard is PCI 3 so how much of a restriction will I find that with a 4090 card?

Also depends what CPU and resolution you are playing at if will be bottlenecking the card

How many do they have on each drop ? Of course the FE are gonna be in demand they are high quality and cheapest . I see few retailers with 4090 stock for over a week some not much over FE

I am still on a i9-10940X CPU (so my mojo is running the X299 chipset) - I was going to upgrade to 13th gen but then realised that is an end of the line product so will wait for the 14th and then upgrade my mobo and RAM then.

It's more that, I play on an ultrawide and am looking to hold on to the 4090 as long as possible, so I want the overclocking headroom (even if it's marginal) to stick on a 4090 as long as possible. And the Zotac Trinity is a 450w card and my particular card has no overclocking potential. I know it sounds dumb.

The strix will offer you nothing over the FE apart from a bigger dent in the pocket, very little difference between any of the 4090 and will mainly boil down to silicone lottery :)
