What happened to the 2x jump?absolutely monstrous gains. 45-80% increase in performance over 3090Ti
and this is doing it at lower power consumption. I expected these huge cards to use more power proportional to their increase in size but they use less.
This totally worked out. Showed up to MicroCenter at 8am, bumped fists with Austin Evans, and snagged a Zotac 4090.
They go back in stock but it is random. They also only allocate so many units to a given store. It is overly complicated and bullshit because unless you are shopping a popular store, you might not see any. Trying for a 4090 when the 4080 launches is a good option. Try for both if you want because maybe only one will show for you.
Seeing the power adapter has me wondering when Corsair is actually going to have their 600w cable in stock: https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categ...0-12VHPWR-Type-4-PSU-Power-Cable/p/CP-8920284
I think the hardware unboxed guy used an 850 watt psu I think, he said something about not having to uprade from his 850 watt psu at some point in his review.
It was at the end of the Gigabyte Gaming OC review he mentioned that 850 was good enough for even that model and overflowing as well.
I got 15619 on a 5800x3D
Not bad at all. What is the rest of your specs?
I also sported the same ancient NH-D14 for more than 10 years across multiples builds. Noctua are just the best IMO Finally, I am currently looking for a new case and the Torrent is among the short list. I've heard that the Phanteks P500a might be a better choice for me though as I am rocking the Galahad 360 and the Torrent is apparently best when coupled with an air cooler.
Lol you should take this opportunity to become a Youtube legend.
Why ? It wasn’t really hard to get . I am assuming next shipment it will be available in all stores in the next couple of days . Maybe not FE but yeah
Everything was gone in minutes where I’m at and now they’ve removed delivery dates for the next batch. It’s the 3080 launch all over again. Haven’t checked if scalpers has started selling them at higher prices yet though.
I have a different one - the Phanteks P600s and it’s fabulous. Just can’t complain about it at all. Marvelous case.Nice setup! I like that 64GB of sweet trident royal
Anyway, mixing manufacturers does not matter. As long as you're running the exact same speed and timings on every stick, you're good to go. Of course, those timings have been carefully picked after hours of stability tests!
outside of CA but shipping was free so it came in at just under 1700.
Which game? Cyberpunk 2077 fps nearly doubled for me at the streetkid bar intro.
20-30% over what?
Nice. One thing I noticed is the GPU brace Asus supplied is too tall, so I'm ordering another from Amazon (and you will need a GPU brace for these monsters...)
Looks like mines ready to ship, upgrading some other stuff (so I can make a 3rd pc with left over parts for my brother). Hope everything arrives by next wed.
Cyberpunk gets me about 20fps more than I got with a 3090
a 3090, dragons dogma with my enb I go from 60fps to around 90fps. other games not so much, like 60fps to 75-80fps
Nice looks like the one I got came with one or I’ll get one off Amazon if does t work. Use a old acrylic tube off cut till then if needed.
Not played much Cyberpunk 2077 yet(waiting for more fixes), but I'm coming from a 3090 TI and that bar scene nearly doubled in fps for me with a 4090. This is in ultrawide 5120x1440p. Will see how it fares in 4k/8k on my QLED later on.
Looks like the card is sagging a little in that picture.
