NVIDIA RTX 4000 Ada Lovelace GPU Roughly Equivalent to GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, Consumes 65% Less Power

I’ve got a SFF with an i7 12700k and an A2000 12gb. It’s pretty good, honestly. Work stuff, and some surprisingly reasonable gaming performance.

But, I can aspire in a year (or two?) to drop in a 14700k and an rtx 4000 ada, once the prices have moderated.

I’m new to pcs and components; any ideas on what the (downward) pricing curves will look like for these components, gpu especially? Say, for that gpu to hit sub-$500 — are we talking 12 months? 18? Longer…?!

I built 3 rigs at work with 12600K/A2000's. Looking at the same upgrade later this year. CAMWorks toolpath simulation is an absolute slide-show at 4K on those machines, I didn't expect that at all.

I found this thread trying to justify getting a new RTX ada card vs a new gaming card for home so I can have my cake (CAD/Pro features) and eat it to (respectable gaming performance). If they made a Titan class card again I think I'd snap it up without thinking about the price.

Since I posted above, two interesting things have released…

• The Intel 14900t chip, which is *exactly* what I need for my SFF, which is already heat and power constrained.
• Nvidia rtx 2000 Ada — at $650. Not as big of a delta over my A2000 as the 4000 Ada, but less than half the price.

The 14900t should still be pretty significantly faster than my 12700k, which I power limit anyway. That’s a no-brainer.

But the rtx Ada 2000 vs 4000 is a more interesting question. They are both too expensive now. And I’m afraid the existence of the 2000 will really handicap the 4000 falling down to a price with which I’m comfortable, like sub $800?

I wonder if they introduced the 2000 because no one is buying the 4000 at that stupid price?
