NVIDIA 4000 Series

I'm at a point where I need a significant performance jump to notice a difference. My 3080Ti can run my driving sims beautifully on my HP Reverb so long as I am racing in the daytime. Another 10 or 20% would only allow me to turn on a little more eye-candy that I probably wouldn't notice while racing anyway.

-But racing at night requires me to render at a lower resolution altogether just to hold 90fps.
An extra 50% performance might get the job done, but I am looking for 60% or more if either Nvida or AMD can offer something up.

If they both offer hardware that can do the job, pricing will tell me which company really wants my money. I doubt either company will sit on their hands and allow the other to go unchallenged.
 
Don’t believe any of the crap TBH.

It’ll be the same biannual release as always, I’d bet money on it. Well a little bit!
 
They often say there is no smoke without a fire, and while the saying cannot be applied to all situations, it does create an interesting thought experiment.

What if the rumour was half true? What if top end dies so XX102 die are the only ones that are released this year, while for some unknown the reason (COVID or development issues), meant that lower end die, so XX104 and lower are delayed by an entire year. What would happen if Nvidia simply tried to repackage 3000 series cards at a lower price point to cover the missing part of the product stack? So shift everything down one. 3080 -> 4070, 3070-> 4060 etc..
Do you think they could get away with this or would they get **** on from gamers?

If AMD have new cards , then nvidia would run into problems with this i would think

Many of the lower end 600 series cards were actually Fermi not Kepler cores, the lower end 200 series including up to the GTS250 were G9x cores rather than GT200 and they've done similar in the laptop space.
 
I'm quite keen on an upgrade (because shiny) but realistically, all I'm playing is Flight Sim at the moment and until I go VR I don't really need more performance after the CPU upgrade. Maybe an £800 3090 would tempt... Probably not though.

I find that hard to believe it’s a year away tbh, despite it coming from Jay.

This guy is so dishonest.
Cryptocurrencies have collapsed, GFX cards are still hovering around MSRP, and we know they're sitting on mountains of stock now.
Scalpers are going to have to buy a hell of a lot of stock to affect the GPU market going forward.
We all know the 18-24 month cycle of GPUs, and the 4000 series release will occur in the next 6 months, so this guy is just way off the mark.

Is he though? I'm not convinced that he's correct on this, but I don't get the impression that he's maliciously lying about it.
