Will You Buy An RTX 4090?

12% @1080p ,31% at 4k and up to 470 watts at stock with RT on, yeah massive strides like 2/4X the performance.

Great.

Ampere got shrinked and we get an equal amount of extra perf as efficiency gained. For 1600+

Yay? Peak power is still way beyond sane and its still a brick

Massive compared to what? Did you forget AMD also exists in the same universe :rolleyes:

I am considering it heavily, I kept either waiting or not being able to purchase a card from last generation so decided to just wait. Big thing though I am waiting on is the RX 7900XT first to compare performance and price then decide (May also just get a RTX 4080).

AMD is perform to price/watt king. Nvidia is king of performance cap.
What you waiting for?

So cyberpunk is 43fps with rt on dlss off @4k. Not the 22fps Jensen showed
22fps is 3090. He was comparing dlss 3 of 4090 with no dlss of 3090 (weird, comparing lowest you can get from 3090, to highest you can get from 4090)

phanbuey · Oct 11, 2022

I mean $/performance it's actually not terrible given the last 2 years. Let's see this market drop tho.

I am waiting to see, yea I believe the RTX 4090 will probably hold the crown but by how much is what matters. If the 7900XT is sitting at same price point and is between the RTX 4080 and 4090, I will probably pick that up just for the fact its a better value overall. If it's seated at the 4080 and same price, well I will probably look at spending the extra and getting the 4090 or deciding if I am ok with the RTX 4080 performance range (Since we have not seen tests yet that remains to be seen).

Get a 4090 now, scalp it, buy two 7900XT

Quite a milestone in performance increase, its a hell yes from me, but definitely not any time soon

Nope. Also, why TF does the 2070S have a USB-C (latest and greatest port) but the next two generation FLAGSHIPS do not?

USB-C was pushed as a connector for HMDs, apparently that didn't work out and they were dropped with Ampere. AMD supports them in some RDNA 2 designs, oddly enough.

AsRock · Oct 11, 2022

Nope, don't even have DP 2.0 on it which is like a big FU.

4090 price reaction

the price is good actually, except outside of US.

3090 was 9500 yuan, 4090 is 12500 yuan
30% increase

while in US, it's a 100$ increase which is 6%

I voted Yes, Eventually - this will likely be in about 1.5-2 years when I can pick up a used one with a full cover waterblock on ebay for $800-1000.

Again, I'm not arguing about the price here.

I'm confused about the complaints of its size though - is having as small card as possible really a such a desirable feature? Something that produces a lot of heat should be cooled appropriately and according to the reviews it very much is. Do people also complain about the size of Noctuas or Dark Rock cpu coolers?

I have a feeling you have misread this table - it is actually proving my point.

RTX 4090 you can playing max settings in 4K at least 4-5 years all upcoming modern games.

Really?

arczi19 said:

Yes. Or at least small enough to fit into an average size chassis. Personally, I like placing as little weight on the PCI-e slot as possible and cooling-wise feasible.

arczi19 said:

That's one of the reasons why I prefer AIO liquid cooling.

Not if you play CP2077 with RT on....

Those are MSRP... last 2 years good luck getting a GPU at MSRP.

Also 4K performance is on par with a 3090, and 6950xt even in current market.

We just discussed in this thread not too long ago that in the US, you can get a 6950 XT for $800. Even if the 4090 sells for MSRP (which is doubtful), AMD's got you covered for half the price (unless you really need that 4K+RT performance).

The cheapest 4090 in Denmark is going for 2.5k USD , its insane !!!!!!

Are you camping out / lining up for an RTX 4090? | TechPowerUp Forums

That was a question for camping out to buy one, not a question as to whether or not someone actually wants one. Context is a thing.

Will You Buy An RTX 4090?

Yes, on release even if I have to buy one from a scalper

Yes, on release if I can get one at close to MSRP

Yes, eventually

Maybe

No

Yes, I will buy one for other uses than gaming
