The Ada Lovelace RTX 4090 Owners Thread

Similar story here, I bought my 4090fe Oct 22, and paid £1700 for it (which still surprises me that I paid that much) and I definitely feel its been a great purchase and has given me a fantastic time gaming at 4k.

I came from a 3090, and a 3080 before that. Made money due to the stupid GPU market, but also spent money. I've not done the maths, because I still feel the 4090 has been a solid purchase, even now with the 50 series release.

My biggest gripe would have been if the 5090 had been priced at the £1k price point, making the 4090 look silly........ No chance of that happening :D

I would've sold my 4090 even with a loss to get a new GPU that's faster (like 5090 but with much more sensible power use!) and cost £1k. But I don't see that happening even with 6k series, judging by what NVIDIA is doing. I am happy to switch back to AMD though, if they release good GPU in sensible proce at that point. :) CUDA translators already exist and things will only get better.
 
I got my 4090 in October 2022 for about £1700, if I deduct a pound for every hour I've spent using it on games that my iGPU couldn't handle, I've probably dropped down to about £1670.
 
If I checked just on Steam my 4090 gaming hours, I'd probably pass out..... Elden Ring alone has been over 300 hours. :eek:
I wonder if steam can generate those kind of stats?

Wait… couldn’t?

As in, you’ve only used your 4090 for 30 hours of gaming that your iGPU couldn’t handle? :o :p
 
I got my Suprim 4090 in early November 2022 (which doesn't feel like it was that long ago) for £2000 and handed my Strix 3090 down to my son. This 4090 has put in some serious gaming graft over that 2 and a bit years. From being on for hours on end (doing 6, 10, 12 & 24 hour races on iRacing) to weeks wasted on the likes of CODs and iCarus. Its been a blast.

As of last week it is now paired with a 9800X3D (replacing the showing its age 12700k) and I hope for the card to last another 2 and a bit years. Imo, its the best looking 4090 also.

Nah, I'm with the flying fish, the 4090 FE is the best card both in terns of build quality, performance and looks.

I'm in no way biased by the fact that I own a 4090 FE. :p

I was... But selling it for more than I paid, making the upgrade to a 5090 cost no more than £300 also made me feel smug :D
