[badbad2000]

i am waiting for 4000 series. I skipped 2000 & 3000. Currently is vega64.

 

[Yongkit]

Will be observation it's 4k performance and power consumption taking into account possible new PSU standard upgrade

 

[NightRaven49]

thread name like q familiar eh

 

[KYZT2021]

I think the second flagship in Nvidia's lineup the 4090 is confirmed to run at 450W TDP. Only the 4090 Ti with 48GB VRAM will be a 800W TDP board. Realistically, I don't think even the hardcore gamers will even look at that card especially with a US$1,999 price tag.

Honestly, I think you still can run a splitter to use 3x8pin into the card. Same way they supplied one with the 3090 Ti. Of course this has to be confirmed still too early to tell.

From what I observed, the hardcore gamers are not exactly chasing after the highest-end hardware, much less tweaking and tuning stuff. As long as the game is playable and smooth, they are able to game from morning to night, not doing anything else.

The ones buying all these high-end flagship components usually don't spend as much time gaming. They are usually busy taking screenshots and videos, tuning and tweaking settings, running benchmarks, etc. Not exactly a hardcore gamer IMO.

I'll have a look at prices first. Very happy with my current setup so won't be rushing in too much. Would upgrade if price/performance is good. This round no more mining alr so can't recoup costs, got to plan wisely.

from 3000 series onwards many perspective on GPU performance and usage have change with undervolting popularity, and not to mentioned some only buying high end gpu for media consumption like YouTube or Netflix

ya good to know for the 450w TDP GPU still exists

somehow I think there are group of users might thinking of switching to RDNA3 gpu because of the lower TDP and also performance uplift.

I just got a 3070 after nearly 6 years with a 1060 so nope... not looking to change soon

Don't forget most of them run super exotic cooling setups. Most of them are just interested in numbers.

Esports becoming more like pro sports... their rigs not for ordinary ppl lah

Ya boy. I think my psu might not keep up. Which model are you looking at? Haha... 4080？

I wonder how the 3090/Ti will compare with 4080. If similar and the latter is a bargain, why not?

4080 will obliterate the 3090 Ti no doubt. I was only comparing the power delivery and I personally think untill 450W, you can still use the 3x8pin to 1x16pin connector. The problem comes when you need to use 2x16pin connector on the cards which is 800W. I don't think 1x16pin is sufficient for a 800W TDP board.

ya should be 4080.

i think from 3080 performance wise really no point going below xx80 series as side upgrade since for the game I play mostly single player offline game easily at High setting 4k60fps~4k120fps on my main PC

Have to be careful with power hungry cards when using adapters.
