The wife has signed off on me getting a new 4080 & I was wondering whether there was a trustworthy site with decent reviews? I used to use Tomshardware but they seem to have stopped doing their individual reviews at some point over the last decade or two.

I just bought a Founders 4080, upgrading from a 2080ti. The performance increase is noticeable, temperatures are MUCH lower and the thing boosts high with no overclock applied. Other opinions may vary, but depending on your upgrade path I doubt you will be disappointed

You think the 4099 is worth £400+ more?

Depends on the resolution you're playing at I guess, or how long someone plans to keep the card in use
Absolutely, Its a generational performance gap in front of a 4080. The 7900XTX is also an option offering slightly better raster than the 4080 for £200 less.

18% is a generational performance gap?
It’s 33% in raster and 39% in RT.
Source please? Is that at 4k?
Yeah 4k.
This site takes an average of multiple reviews.

Guru3D and Techpowerup are the one's I normally go to so points to those two
TPU tested the 4090 with a 5800X so its review was flawed as that CPU will bottleneck the 4090 even at 4k in some games.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Founders Edition Review - Impressive Performance
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Founders Edition offers huge gains over its predecessors. It's the first graphics card to get you 4K 60 FPS with ray tracing enabled, and upscaling disabled. Do you prefer 120 FPS instead of 60? Just turn on DLSS 3.

Didn't know that, will keep an eye out for the system specs more in future so thanks Jox!
They retested with the 5800X3D and gained 7% even at 4k over the 5800X
RTX 4090 & 53 Games: Ryzen 7 5800X vs Ryzen 7 5800X3D Review
How much performance can you gain with Ryzen 7 5800X3D over the non-3DV Cache Ryzen 7 5800X when using the mighty GeForce RTX 4090? Our review has the answer, we test 53 games at three resolutions.
RTX 4090 & 53 Games: Core i9-13900K vs Ryzen 7 5800X3D Review
Intel's new 13900K offers amazing gaming performance, thanks to improvements to caches, IPC and higher operating frequencies. But is that enough to beat the 3DV Cache-powered AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D? What about platform cost?
saw that which was different, then go for individual reviews from there...tbf, most are ok, as all were built with massive over the top coolers as they all thought the 4090 would be 600+w power use, and a lot of 4080 cards use 4090 coolers also as plenty spare and economies of scale in building...so they should all run cool and quiet then
Yeah 4k.

Thanks mate.
Same for me.

If you look at the 4070 review he's using a 13900. So the relative performance tables are more accurate in the review.
