NVIDIA 4000 Series

[NiteSurfer]

Can't believe people get so wound up over not being able to get a new graphics card.

Have some perspective.

Who is getting wound up, I've had a look at previous posts, not really found any. Only Discussions.

I see OCUK had the Gigabyte Gaming OC in stock for a short time this morning at a good few hundred higher price. More like the price the Strix came out at!

Pre-scalped, like the 3000 series.

Nvidia is offering a product with the performance I have been waiting for to max-out my VR driving sims, so I am willing to open my wallet. However, there are a couple things keeping me from getting too anxious. My current equipment runs my sims well in the vast majority of circumstance and, since I'm only shopping for more raster performance, there's a good chance AMD could make a better offer soon.

What headset and game are using that a 3090 can't give you the full experience? I do AC with my Quest 2 on a 3090 and its buttery smooth with a consistent high frame rate so im curious.

I've had my MSI 4090 Suprim all weekend just sat on my desk as I don't have a 3rd PSU-GPU power cable lol ! Just waiting for a complete new Antec 1300 PSU to arrive today! & then I can test it all out.

Supply and demand, prices of the stock won't have changed since the exchange rate hasn't really moved. They will follow what everyone is selling at, it makes no sense for them to promote them at the starting MSRP when they could make several hundred more on each line.

So new 1000w PSU has arrived but sadly the board is still dead. looks like the MB has **** itself. Have a new one arriving later today, hopefully it didn't take the 10900k with it

Keep us posted matey. Hope it's all ok in the end.

HP Reverb + night racing. PC2, AMS2, iRacing.

I can race at night at 90fps, but with a full grid I need to lower resolution and it softens the imqge considerably.

I can't max-out day time racing either, but I can run day time racing close enough to maxed that it looks great.

That's why I'm not desperate to buy. Night racing is not a common thing for most of the leagues I have ran in.

Appreciate the concern, I did test it without any adjustment on the GPU and it ran within limits anyway when my cpu had an overclock. That's when I sent the other PSU back. I'll keep an eye on it though.

In preparation for the last mess which was the 3000 launch which I missed out on I had so many tabs open I manage to nab two 4090s. The ichill and the Asus tuf oc. I think had I of kept the tuf oc with the 1000w limit I would have definitely needed a bigger PSU but kept the ichill it was 300 cheaper and saved a 150 on the PSU upgrade. I sent the tuf back.

So far MSFS with my 4090 in vr with my g2 has been fantastic, I can now double openxr to 200% and it's clearer and smoother than it ever was with my 3080ti. Very happy with the upgrade and actually only using about 50w more than the 3080ti was.

Can you post up your MSFS settings for your VR as going to setup mine today and give it a blast on 4090.

Watching this whole stock fiasco being drip fed by Nvidia is allowing scalpers to take advantage again. This will never end, i feel like the days of gpu's being an item you would look forward to buying is gone. It now feels more like a chore and especially the price you have to pay, doesn't give you the same feeling i once had when i unpacked a shiny new gpu.

It's a real shame what's happening to the pc market.

The buying process isn't nice at all. Customer experience is dead and irrelevant seemingly. But the shiny shiny has had me majorly giddy. What a step up 16k cuda cores @ 2.9ghz is as my daily driver vs 10k cuda cores @ 1.8ghz.

Invite only based on some loyalty criteria might be the way forward on launches. Nvidia with the FE has it right and a step ahead of all retailers.

There are other ways too..like restocking fees

My 4090FE arrived safe and sound just now. My psu leads still havent though

 

[hobib_ali]

I think these are old quad series, 4 are faulty, the rest work, was wet, so cleaned and dried.

Found it in a box behind some rubbish on a industrial park, can i do anything with these or put on MM for 50 quid each.

Imagine if they were 4090s

Are you guys using 4x dedicated PCIe cables from the PSU or 2x cables with daisy chain?

I'm using 3 x 8 pin to 1 x 16pin and has no issues reaching the 600w .... which I thought was weird as thought it had to be 4 x 8 pin

you might want to check the temp on the cables, better safe than sorry

I'm guessing no word yet on more stock of FE cards?

 

[Rup]

Bet will be GFE invite only.

Do they need to be 4X 8pin? does this cut down on able power draw?
