Very nice build. Is the nitro worth it?

Thanks!
I bought it on release for £1300, definitely not at that price- but I bought it because I was eager and wanted to treat myself, so don't regret it. If it could be gotten closer to £1k I'd say go for it.
I play at ultrawide 1440p and there's so much extra power under the hood I'm supersampling most games (I set trixx boost 4k scaling option down to 80-85%, 4096x1728 currently).

Should last a long while before I get an upgrade itch again

I'm surprised at the amount of 4090's people have , after all the far too expensive fanfare I wouldn't have expected so many, so does that mean that in effect it's actually good value?

I have a power colour red dragon 6800xt bought a couple of months ago at. Though seeing the prices of them now which I'd hung out a bit longer lol

I had a 4090 FE but realised its way overkill for what I play these days so sold it along with my 13700k and the Z790 motherboard. Had enough from the sale to buy a 7800X3D, B650E motherboard and a 7900 XT and still have a few hundred quid left over!

What did the 4090 go for? I can't imagine there are many on the second hand market.

MSI Rx6800 gaming, had it 2.5 years now and showing no real signs of being an issue.

3090 fe. It's a beast of a card and just eats everything you throw at it. 5090 will be the next upgrade though

Nice, what did you get it for? Was it before the crypto boom?

Na I payed the 1349 price. I don't regret it in the slightest though

Still cheaper than a 4090!

True but the 4090 is more powerful

Yeah but in fairness at the time it was just an experiment to see if you could heat Jensen's aga with a single GPU.

You got most of it back then!

RX580 8GB, just about gets by at 1080p on the games i play. Waiting for something to make it a worthwhile upgrade or until i decide to go 1440p.

Zarax · 8 Jul 2023 at 18:11

Rx 590 and wife got an Rx 6600, both cards do a decent job for what we play.

RX 7900 XTX 24GB in main rig (for gaming and AI/DL stuff that doesn't need CUDA)
An RTX 3060 12GB in a secondary machine that I use for AI/DL stuff that doesn't have non CUDA options.
