NVIDIA 4000 Series

To save me trawling through page after page. Is there an ETA for the 4070, my rx6800 decided to die one month after the warranty ended and having sold my backup gfx card, I’m in desperately in need of something new.

4070ti looks like it's coming in Jan but no mention of the 4070 yet but most likely launch is around Easter.

Outside of RT I think the 4070Ti could be slower (not by massive margins admittedly) than a 7900XT.

Nvidia already published some numbers before when it was named the 4080 12GB (lols). And that shows it being at 3090TI levels or below when DLSS isn’t in use.

Nvidia Benchmarks Show 4080 12GB Up to 30% Slower Than 16GB Model

Nvidia's GeForce RTX 4080 16GB is 24 - 30% faster than the GeForce RTX 4080 12GB.

Would I be better just getting a 3080?

The 4080 12GB is now going to be released as a 4070Ti and was just about 20% faster than a 3080 from Nvidia's slides and they tend to be a bets case scenario. So a 4070 being another tier down will be about 3080 speeds and probably worse price/perf.
 
The 4070ti looks to be around 10-20% faster than a 3080 for £800-900, the 4070 non ti will likely offer 3080 perf for £700 and the 4060ti will probably offer 3070ti perf for £550.

With the exception of the 4090 ADA is shaping up to be worse performance upgrade at each price point we have ever seen from a new architecture on a supposedly cutting edge node.

This is Turing-level fail.

It sinks below Turing levels as those cards did at least deliver a positive uplift.

It makes you wonder why Nvidia are bothering to use TSMC N4 for cards other than the 102 die if it means the added cost is raising the prices tiers so much it's wiping out any gains vs the previous generation.
 
I'm planning on making a new build in Jan '23 built around a 4090 but really struggling to decide which variant to go with...

I was leaning toward a Zotac due to the 5 year warranty but then have read some less positive comments. I'm not fussed about RGB/looks so tempted to get one of the cheaper models, Palit, Gainward, PNY.

Given I've convinced myself that it's worth pushing up to the 4090 at that point an extra £100 for a better model seems worth it but if the only difference is really superficial and not noise, reliability, performance etc I might as well save what money I can.

Anyone able to give some suggestions?
 
My Aorus Master 4090 has great temps accross the board. (GPU, hot spot, Vram) and no audible coil whine. It also offers a 4yr warranty with product registration.

The RGB software is evil though. It runs a "monitor svc" at startup without me clicking anything (and it doesn’t show up in task manager startup tab to disable). That svc program causes constant dropped frames in VR.

You can rename the service so that it can't run and your settings will hold...until you unplug your PC from the wall or have a power outage. -Then it cycles all the colors and the screen reverts back to the hatching cyborg battle chicken.

fe if you can get it otherwise the cheapest one with the longest waranty

I can't say about 4090s, but I've had mostly Zotac and Palit cards over the last few years, and have nothing bad to say about them. My Palit 2080Ti is still going strong, as is the Zotac 1070Ti.

Warranty length, and maybe RMA policy/speed, really is going to be a good metric here.
