I wouldn't get too carried away Dave Lol, it's just a 'good' graphics card.How's everyone finding their cards after a few weeks of use?
Had my Strix 4090 since the 13th. Done a load of gaming, absolute pleasure to play almost all titles @ 4k near or above 100FPS without DLSS. Must say it's been quite strange seeing Nvidia/4090 critics/AMD fans spend so much time on forums whining/complaining about 4090, 16 pin, price, 4080, meanwhile the owners are just gaming away in GPU heaven
Settled on a power limit of 70%, this decreases power consumption to 320-350W and I only lose 1-4% performance, which is not noticeable to me the vast majority of the time. Definitely the sweet spot for my card.
I'm happy with the looks and acoustics and cooling performance of the GameRock, now having tried a few different 4090s.
It runs MW2 very nicely at high FPS, the only downside was the Nvidia driver issues in that title. However, I see a driver came out to address those issues specially which I will try later today.
The connector issue is definitely a concern though for the money the card cost and that should definitely not be downplayed. No issues with it at my end though so far.
Having tried frame generation (FG) in Spiderman 3, that's also a nothing burger. Would rather play the game native as the added latency just feels like you are playing at lower FPS than what is shown on screen. Not sure why there is any hype surrounding it tbf, but I guess people see the higher FPS counter and that's all that matters.
The card is powerful enough that the need for DLSS and FG is removed, which is great as I'm not a fan of image/latency degradation which those technologies cause.
