NVIDIA 4000 Series

@thewanted - Here's some data. Kitguru reviewed the stock MBA card here with a power limit of 355W. They tested Horizon Zero Dawn and scored 193 FPS at 1440P Ultimate Quality.

Spoiler

Here's a 7900 XTX TUF OC video I recorded (FPS hit from recording is 2-4 FPS). The TUF OC has a higher power limit of 375W stock, with +15% enabled in AMD Software that takes it up to 431W. With +15%, the power limit was high enough that at no point throughout the bench was the GPU held back by power limit unlike all MBA cards which are power limited.

Proof.

Please note, this was not a unstable overclock. This was a overclock that is 24/7 stable. Technically, the core clock is running stock (3Ghz) and only the memory is overclocked 250Mhz from stock which is 2498Mhz. The power limit was increased from 0% to +15%. To summarise, stock MBA = 193.6 FPS, tuned AIB 7900 XTX scores 242 FPS. An increase of 25%+ in a power limited scenario. 242 FPS puts it 4 FPS short of a stock 4090. Without the recording cost, probably even with a 4090.

EDIT - Realise I am verging off topic here, so will leave it there...

Why are you benching at 1440p, the 4090 is well bottlenecked at that.

I was testing the performance increase from MBA 7900 XTX stock vs AIB 7900 XTX without power limits, and that increase is 25%+.

I used this test because Kitguru used a built in benchmark scene and preset settings that are easily reproducible, ensuring accurate data as there is no player input involved.

This is an ideal scenario to test a performance tune.

I appreciate the info. Thanks @LtMatt

They shipped the cards. How many are actually sold though.

Well it's an obvious consequence of massively increasing prices, the only hope is that lower sales offset the increased profit per sale.

Guess they'd sell plenty if it was for pennies on the dollar!

Sure it's an older game but Arkham Knight still looks great but I find it quite amusing that even a tweaked and tuned 13900K with tweaked and tuned memory is bottlenecking a 4090....... at 4K !!!!

Sorry but that water is too reflective, you shouldn't be seeing any of them houses in the reflection of water!

Sorry but that water reflective is perfect and correct like in real world, you should be seeing any of them houses in the reflection of water!

Had you been visited Westminister? Water will be reflective when it is calming but when water is too shallow, it will not be reflective.

If you undervolt the 7900XTX MBA I guess it would also get a massive gain if its being power limited at stock? Not much info out there.

Considering the CPU usage is just 1%, I suspect it's more likely to be a game engine problem than the CPU - the game is either hard capped to around 240 something FPS or that's just as much as the game engine can handle and will never get any faster.

Many older games have issues with framerates just hitting an engine cap and then they stop getting any faster with new hardware.

Looks like the 4080 FE is finally out of stock.

It’s still in stock. I can add it to the basket and it says in stock on there as well.

Oh, weird. The button was green but when I tried to add it to my basket it threw a big red error at the top of the page stating “This product is no longer available to add to basket”. I refreshed the store page and the green button had changed to “Out of stock”.

Shop probably being updated as 3090ti out of stock.

Good. I am looking forward to the "Ampere friends, it is now safe to upgrade" speach in 2024

As for AMD. LOL. Soon Intel will have higher market share if they carry on like this. Nvidia gave them a bloody open goal and they missed it again. They should have named the 7900 XTX the 7800 XT and charged a reasonable price for it. But nope. They wanted to help improve the utter terrible 4080 sales instead
