Rumor: NVIDIA likely launches GeForce RTX 4090 first then later RTX 4080/70

yeah from you

 

We back in middle school?

 

Maybe it's my imagination and I'm mixed up, but it always seems to be you who chimes in and says people are "whining" when they're expressing any negative opinion about these giant companies.

 

It is something that constantly happens, no matter the news, good bad or neutral, all people seem to do to come and post is whine and complain about unknowns rather then talk about the actual news archive. That being said, i don't recall the last i called it out, just stating the facts either way.

Since the pandemic and supply issues and the cost of things increasing, all people seem to know how to do no matter the news is find some reason to whine and complain no matter if its relevant or not.

To be clear: if the complaining was pertinent to the topic, such as lets say the RTX 4090 was announced and prices at $2500 and people complained about the price increase, absolutely, but that's clearly not what is happening here lately, people are just simply finding something to post and complain about when it has nothing to do with the topic.

Not once was pricing stated in this rumor, yet look at all the posts complaining about it.

 

oh bro, I wish you could see the irony, you are the same but thinking "you re different cause you re seeing the big picture blah blah"
let people vent, when you tell someone even face to face about your disease money problem or a situation you dealt with other person gonna want to talk about his/hers too cause it reminds them their troubles even there is little similarity thats how they relax and try to get a sense of control over the uncontrollable seeking affirmation or another solution or at least acknowledgement

 

Why? Surely people considering buying highend gpus have an equally highend psu.

 

Chances are if buying a 4090 you need a new psu too.

 

Not at all. Often people also upgrade their CPU at the same time.

When I went from a 2080 Super, (2nd best card of previous gen.) to a 3080ti, I had to get a new PSU.

What I didn't bargain on, and might catch out people who jump from 2000 or 1000 series, is I also needed a new case. My old case just wasn't able disspiate the heat from a 9900k and a 3080ti.

 

And what exactly would upgradring the cpu change? Power consumption for cpu's has been more or less the same for a veeeeery long time at this point.

2080 aint comparable to the 3080... 2080 is a medium sized chip, while the 3080 is the big chip. You'd have to assume that the people buying the 4090 are ones that already have a 3090, just like the ones buying the 3090 already had a 2080 ti.

My cosmos 2 will do just fine.

 

According to Steam, nearly 70% of users use 4 or 6 core CPUs.

You might be assuming that but it doesn't mean it's not complete nonesense!

 

Naturally.

In most cases, a new high end GPU warrants a new build.
Pretty common for entusiasts I believe.

 

Ferrari has made a lot of extremely well performing cars. For a very long time.

 

I assume a 3080 isn't high-end since 3090 and 3090Ti exist but I'm sporting a 850W which is enough for both 3080 and 3090. If the 4090 would be an energy munching machine then past rumors said a 1200W PSU is required (as 1000W is required for the 3090Ti today). I don't think everyone owns 1200W PSUs, do you?

 

And your point is? Cpu's of the same tier from the past 10 years have all used about the same amount of power... the amount of cores has zero relevance in this context.

Sure, people go from a 1050 to a 4090... come on, use your brain a bit. The people buying bleeding edge products are more often than not people that did it with the previous gen aswell...

 

Yes, i do have a 1200w psu, as most 3090 owners do. Aka it will be a non-issue for most 3090 owners, who are the most likely to buy 4090's.

 

True but anyone else deciding to buy a 4090 will have to change the psu. Thats additional cost to already expensive product.

@fantaskarsef mentioned he'd want one upgrading from 2080ti he'll definitely need a new psu.

 

Yes I absolutely plan to get a new one under any circumstances. Even if my 1kW PSU would probably be able to deal with a rig even if it has a newer CPU and GPU inside, I'd still buy a new one just because it was running for a few years by now, and I wouldn't risk new hardware that way.
Also, I don't fancy doing cable work twice

 

Why would 3090 users need 1200W for when a non-OC standard computer including a 3090 draws around 500W? I understand that some want the overhead or have watercooling setups or OC a lot but that cant be the majority of 3090 users?

 

His strix 3090 is drawing 450w by itself and he showed it in cyberpunk.

 

1. Highend 3090 models pull 480 watts steady load, with spikes up to about 700 watts. Highend oc'ed cpu's can spike well above 300 watts aswell, which put together with everything else drawing power in a computer, is why even with moderate overclocks on air people have had issues with 3090's tripping the overcurrent protection on 1000 watt psu's, meaning it would just turn off the power.

2. Psu's are most effective at 50% load... so people buying a psu that can just barely manage the load are doing themselfs a disservice.
