I was starting from nothing though and I am trying to limit the next time I need to change parts, I say this as someone about to buy a new AMD 3D cpu but tbf that was always my plan, I just built the PC in Nov as it suited me.



Yeah the 16 (12VHPWR) into the GPU, off that is an adapter with 3 or 4 PCI-E x8 male connections. It is really unwieldy so many opt to get a nice braided cable from cablemods.

Hmm would have to check my PSU it's knocking on a bit now, old EVGA G2 850, sure it would have enough mind, only got 2 years left of warranty..

3080 12GB model, which is like 2-5% faster than the 10GB model.

Essentially don't get ripped of especially if you got your one for MSRP ;)

Wow that really shows how bad value the 4070ti and 7900XT are. Much worse than I first thought
I have my 3080 at 2050mhz core (undervolted) and 10k mem speed 24/7 so there is no reason to even look at these GPU's for me.. (not that I would)

That's a different matter, you had no choice but to buy. That's one of the main gripes at NGreedia, people who have to buy because like you, they don't have anything yet, or their card has died, or they haven't upgraded for 4 or 5 years and waited until now.

It's a bad time to buy if you had to buy. It's also a bad time to buy if your last upgrade cost you 159 quid net after flogging your old card.

But you said in the post before that there wasn't an issue? You also said that Warhammer was the reason the card was hot but I tried it and I couldn't get similar results although we do have different cards.

Also totally different cases etc etc.

I was wrong and spoke too soon, temps went back up and I am way above the average temps I have read for RTX4090's. I think there's a problem but if the new card is no different then I am going to be a little stumped.

Ah ok. Yeah worth trying another for sure.

Cheaper versions of 4080/4070ti.. new core stepping that reduces need for onboard components. The boards going to look more barren

Nvidia said to be shipping newer, cheaper GPUs to partners for the RTX 40-series

Whether we'll get cheaper graphics cards out of it, we're not so sure.

I'm guessing these are the same chips that were heading for the laptops as they normally use less components too, so they stopped production of the old chips for these and sticking them in the desktop gpus now to save a buck but as we know prices won't come down with even these reductions being done as it will be used as another way to make profit and the general public that buy gpus will never know it was done anyways and another game from nvidia and naming, these should be then named something else to make it clear on the packaging and the graphics card.

Probably fine, I think a lot of reviewers used one that wattage.

I'm planning on an upgrade from my amd 5800x and the 3070 setup, thinking of a 4090 because I do a lot of flight VR stuff and I run triple 1440p monitors for sim racing.

I have a Corsair RM 850w and I think by all acounts with the research its enough for a 4090. Will probably undervolt it a bit as well.

TBH I'm happy with anything over 60, I just got the 4090 because I'm a ******* idiot.

I've discovered I'm the same since finally getting a 4K screen worth gaming on, for single player 60+ is fine. My 6800 XT is just about enough (plenty for NG+ in God of War, Spider-Man Remastered and Falleon Order) but I can't help but look at the newer cards.

Unfortunately both the XTX and 4080 cost too much but price being equal for the AIB models I think the benefits of the 4080 outweigh the small raster advantage the XTX has in a number of cases.

I'm just doing mine now...got the Afterburner Graph set to 0.993v@2070 +200 on the memory (it boosts up to 2055 but often a little bit lower when temps rise a bit) How does that compare to yours?)

Mine boots to 2055mhz and holds @ 925mv but it's under water so the temps usually at 40 to to 48c depending on load.
