NVIDIA 4000 Series

Yeah, certainly. I’ve not said it’s required for AMD to have success in the GPU market, I said it’s something I wish they would put more effort into…

On that we can both agree. On mainstream VR AMD works perfectly fine and as far as they are concerned it’s mission accomplished. For the very high end VR they need to get more involved.

also iirc on Quest 2 headsets nvidia does hardware encdoding (or something) better than amd. but apart from that yeah amd is fine for mainstream vr, i used amd gpu fine with my 1st ever headset (rift DK).

@Jay-G25 This looks incredible! Whats your delta to coolant temp? Which paste did you use? Have you ordered from EK directly or OCUK? Still waiting for mine from OCUK :(
Click to expand...

Thanks mate :)

Room temp is 21 deg , water temp 25 deg , GPU temp 38deg at 380-400w . Pump speed at 100% on this test . Used Conductonaut Liquid Metal for the die ( paste ) . I ordered this direct from EK on 11/11 and was delivered 18/11 but got stung with a £75 customs/ import fee , OCUK are getting the blocks in and was apparently by the end of the month but i am impatient so ordered direct :cry: Few pics of temps in heaven and HWinfo showing hotspot :)

Ive noticed my Corsair RM850 psu only comes with 3x pci-ex 8pin cables. Will this be ok with the Nvidia adapter? as I know its has 4 connections.

Edit: I've just googled it and i can just use 3 as they can deliver 600 watts.

Crazy how much the RTX 4080 costs and yet in some cases it's almost $100 cheaper than 4090.

Maybe see the RTX 3090 cheaper or sale one day that's under £1000 then that's a good deal to go way down

you will need to buy a aftermarket cable like the corsair one or a cablemod . If you have a 4090 with a 4 plug adapter if only using 3 of the 4 i member hearing you will be limited to 450w only not the full 600w

Ive got a cablemod cable on order however again its only the 3x 8pin. Ill cancel and order the 4x one.

Yup thats totally fair enough. All preferences. For me, I wouldn't feel comfortable chasing FPS for £1500 - £2,000. I don't mind for £500-£800 getting a nice increase in FPS but above that price range, I want something trans formative to the experience which both ultrawide, VR and triple monitor setups offer in my experience. 3D gaming also did the same but its a pain to get working with Geo-11 drivers.

High FPS is nice.. its noticeable but its not trans formative. As I said, at 3440x1440, for 99% of games, a 3090/3090TI would have definitley done the job and got you to a decent number FPS-wise. Its simply not a demanding resolution.

I'm not sure why you keep talking about OLEDs. As I said before, I only game on OLEDs and I'm well aware of their positives (and negatives). I hate VA & IPS panels.


Where the 4090 comes into play is at much higher resolutions IMO.

An upgrade path for the alienware ultraide IMO is triple 42/48/55 C2 OLEDs. They have a few drawbacks but in the right space, they're going to look downright cinematic and ridiculous compared to the ultrawide you have. For me, the 21:9 Alienware felt like a monitor. The big OLEDs feel like an insane experience - nearly as cool as my projector - but each to their own.

I have the alienware QD-OLED, just tried doing the upscaling using DLDSR, I wouldn't say overall picture quality has improved massively, but its there, what is noticeable is how little pixelation I can see now, although at the cost of a little sharpness. But I'd say its worth turning on. My dream panel would be a 240hz 4kUW QD OLED

mine would be 3 triple 4K OLEDS fused together in a massive curved fashion or even better 3 65''s...

I am so tempted if I get a bigger office to try and pull off 3 77'' tripl emonitors in a few years. but then the entire 'desk setting will be lost as the desk will need to be a couple metres away from it.
 
Ive just bought...

Corsair 600W PCIe 5.0 12VHPWR Type-4 PSU Power Cable - CP-8920284​


Should be ok with 4090 mays well if the cable mod cable isnt up to much cop. Its a spare anyway. :D

It has a larger impact depending upon the game. Cyberpunk sees massive improvements in shimmering which is a key issue with DLSS as the AI gets more pixels to work with but on games like God of War and Dying Light 2 it isn’t as huge.

The best way I would put it is the image is more crisp and stable any while you may not notice much improvement right now, try playing with for a few hours enabled and then disable it. You will notice the image feels lower resolution easily.

What did you put round the GPU mate?
 
Haha brilliant!

What’s the longevity of the Liquid Metal like?

Block and system looks incredible btw!
