What does this mean for my 3090?

[Zeebedy]

You'd be a fool to swap a 3090 for a 4070Ti. 12GB VRAM is just not enough now for enthusiast gamers and high settings, and certainly won't be going forward. Nicely confirmed by this recent HWUB vid below.

Much as I like Nivida GPUs and have had them for years now, they suck balls with regards to VRAM vs AMD cards. If the 5000 series has the same VRam specs as the 4000 series (which solid early leaks suggest) that is so ******* tight and stupid of Nvidia.

How Much VRAM Do Gamers Need? 8GB, 12GB, 16GB or MORE?

yeah, like i said above, firing up res evil 8 it was using 13gb VRAM in settings as default! before i changed anything!

Daniel Owen on VRAM:

And here's him on the 3090 vs 4090

Playing at 2560x1080 at what hz? Seems you should've just kept your 3080 until the next AMD/Nvidia cards came as your already have concerns over the 3090's power consumption and exploring options for a 4070Ti.

Yes it will set the defaults based on GPU/VRAM as it set it at around 4.6-4.8GB for my rx6600 when I had it and around the same for my 3060ti.

Well, I just played Dead Space (2023) there, and on my old rig i had a few (4070, 4070 Super) and they had a lot of micro stutters..and this one today, none i could see! plus ran really cool on the GPU and CPU!

My only issue is I cant tell me FPS on that damn EA app, but it was looking sweet at High settings, DLSS set to Balanced.

thanks for the reply..

just to clarify, its only PUBG that has had the minor stuttering, the SOTTR benchmark was smooth all the way through..and the only other games i have tried is CS2 and RE2, all no stuttering?

Could be the server your playing on

 

[Zeebedy]

Hmm.. my mates didn’t have the issue though? Surely they would be experiencing the same if it was the server?

i have an option to get a 4070ti for an extra £30...would that be a worthy upgrade? the only thing bothering me is the 12gbVRAM??

Also the power draw is concerning me on the 3090 at up to 380W !!

4070Ti is barely an upgrade

Having issues with my gpu screen. So considering returning it.

Question though, if I went for a gpu with the new 16 pin connection.. can I plug the Corsair 2x8 pin to 16pin directly from psu to the card? Or do I need to have 2x8 pin from psu, then go into the 16pin, then into gpu?

Corsair's native cable (i.e. made specifically for Corsair PSUs) is directly from the PSU to the card without any adapter.

It could be the DP cable/port amongst other things.
