NVIDIA 4000 Series



Interesting to see with ada and rdna 3, nvidia is using less vram this gen. as well. Would be interesting to know what causes that i.e. better driver optimisation by nvidia in this regard?

4090 really is excellent at the power efficiency/performance per watt.

I bought a 4090 because it accomplished a very niche task that nothing else on the market could and I didn't want to wait another generation or two for it to be cost-effective.

I don't kid myself that it's a good value. I'm not even swayed by "it's the best", because that's very temporary.

It allows me to do night racing in VR without down-sampling. My mother-in-law bought an expensive refrigerator because it can hold a larger turkey in the freezer before family meals on the holidays.

Now we both own oversized appliances that, on rare occasions, do something that a more reasonable purchase couldn't do.

Similar here. I can finally turn on post processing in AC for the G2 at 90hz while keeping super sampling at 100%+ no matter what. Stunning experience.
 
Well, finally 4090's have reliably come into stock in the Euroriver and prices have dropped a littlem so I just ordered a Palit RTX 4090 GameRock OC Midnight Kaleidoscope, which gets good reviews for being cool and quiet. I am really looking forward to it getting here in the next week and yeah, the disco lights RGB will definitely not be connected. :)

You can turn the RGB Off via Palit's software.

Yeah I didn't want that. Plus I had a bad experience with the 3090 FE cards (had two of them) with the memory hitting 110c and the fan speed ramping to 100%. Since then I stopped using the FE cards and went AIB, Gigabyte Gaming OC 3090 TI (wonderful cooler) and now the Palit GameRock 4090. Also a great cooler but not quite as good as the previous Gigabyte. Funnily enough it seems like the Gigabyte Gaming OC for the 4090 is not as good and slightly worse than the GameRock.

The cooler on the palit is pretty good yeah, but the fans man, do yours make a whining noise as well at specific rpms? Mine do, as they ramp up or down. You need a quiet enviroment to notice it but it's there

Very nice, Welcome to the GameRock club :D

Just curious as an outside observer... did any of you that bought a 4000 series card have to change case to accommodate it, or were you good to go?

I didn't, but a friend did. He had an older case with a fixed bay for mechanical drives at the front, blocking space needed for the 4090. He was upgrading from a 2080 Ti, which had just about fit. In fairness, he'd worked this out in advance and ordered a case alongside the GPU (though the case took several days longer to arrive).
 
How do I buy a 4000 series FE card in the UK?

Is this being done partly through the Geforce experience app, by offering upgrades to previous gen Nvidia customers?

Or, is it all through the Nvidia FE shop pages?

I have to remove my CPU cooler to fit my Aorus Master 4090 into my 500DX case because it needs a ~45 degree angle to go in before rotating it down to flat. (And my D15S totally blocks the card from making that angle.)
