It's funny you mentioned clock speeds..

If any of you lads who don't want a 4090 get a founders invite code in geforce experience at some point I'll give $100 for said code
Meanwhile I'm still using a 1060 6gb lmao.
I'm way behind times
got my 4090 installed and wow was that more of a chore than it needed to me. I don't really like that it only has 1 screw at the double bracket installed, the top most screw was grinding against the backplate & pcb so..... that's not getting installed. It did have a bracket that used riser screws installed to the motherboard with an arm that a brace installed to the GPU would slip under and could be screwed in for additional support.
I don't think I'll be moving my pc around with this thing in it and feeling comfortable at all.
I had to remove my watercooling loop cause it wouldn't fit with the res/pump. Gonna have to replumb and everything when a block comes out for the MSI cards (or if I get an FE to exchange with)
Man, I was expecting another scalper fiasco, so I spent all of my fun money on gun stuff and can't justify doing a new build but I reaaaalllly want to lol.
Oh well, maybe I'll do a full build in the spring with new monitor and peripherals. I'm sure there will be great options for cases that account for the new card sizes by then.
13900k reviews dropped today and GOD DAMN.
With no gpu load it's hitting total system power around 500w full load.
Also hitting 90c while gaming with a 120mm aio and getting throttled....
Damn and from the GN video it's also crazy inefficient
Jesus fuck, that CPU I think draws more power under full load then my fucking gpu.
This is just retarded now. It's almost like utility companies called Intel and said, "These nerds are saving to much on their electricity bill!!"

got mine from BB this morning. All I need to do my new build is a new MB. for some reason hardly anywhere has MBs or they did not release them yet.
ridiculous power draw and nothing to really show for it. AM5 + X3D is still going to be the play in a few months
the power draw is obscene but ~20% generation over generation improvement is p typical and they outperform AMD's 7000 line which held the crown for the briefest of moments
would only recommend to enthusiasts but it is the fastest horse in the stables
Information has been getting to be a hot topic but for 4090 bros who aren't in the know: setting your card to a 60-70% power limit will cut power consumption by ~100w and lose you only a couple percent in performance. Talking 1-4fps in just about any game. You can bring it down even lower too but the performance loss gets a bit more precipitous as you go down. Lowest I'd go is 50%. 35-40% is around the limit where it starts to really tank. I'll prolly keep mine at 60% and call it a day. Have also tried manual undervolting curves but they really didn't make any difference.
It's really weird that nvidia didn't just ship the cards this way. Would've looked a lot better in the press if they put out a monstrous card with the efficiency that it is actually capable of achieving while leaving that bit of OC headroom for people who care. Personally don't mind losing such a tiny amount of performance in exchange for massive energy savings. AMD did the same thing with AM5 too. Ignoring the horrible price to performance of the ecosystem right now, turning on eco mode for zen 4 cuts power consumption in half for a nearly imperceptible degradation in performance. Wonder if Intel 13th Gen is the same.
Really weird stuff.
From what some of the benchmarks implied I don't think that will hold true for the 13th gen Intel. It seemed very inefficient
Looking at caving in and finally joining the Ultrawide family. Currently looking at the ASUS XG349C. Seems to have the best price to performance value, and while it can't charge my work laptop, has a USB C Thunderbolt hub to quick switch between that and my desktop.
Anyone else have any recommendations in the 800 or less range for an Ultrawide? Current rig is a Ryzen 5900 with a EVGA 3080TI.
Wait for Black Friday and hope the Alienware OLED goes down a couple hundred. The jump to OLED monitor is one of the all-time best performance improvements in hardware. It is up there with the HDD>SDD jump, 1080 release, etc.
Yeah. There's already slated to be an $1100 model of the AW3423DW without a Gsync module either this month or next (Nov. 8th apparently). Sales/Dell coupons could bring it below 1000.
When it comes to something like a monitor I'd always advocate saving a little more to stretch a budget rather than settling for what you can get right now, if you're able to.
