PC Graphics card discussion

I gotcha. Makes sense. That's one huge card. lol.
It's a hoss, yes. I was hoping for grandiose but it maybe leans closer to obnoxious haha. I haven't found anything yet that dips under 60 in 4k, ultra everything, so I can overlook it.
 
So our cards require a 16-pin cable that pulls power from 3 8-pin PCIEs. Currently, and to the best of my knowledge, there is only an adapter for this connection:
GeForce RTX 3090 Ti comes with 3 x 8-pin to PCIe 5.0 16-pin adapter | TweakTown
My 3080 ti had a 12-pin adapter that was powered by 2 PCIEs and eventually Corsair made a single cable that went from GPU to PSU and looked much, much cleaner. Look at that zoomed out picture of mine a few pages back and see that mess under the GPU? Picture one single cable replacing all that mess lol.
I just got three 8 shielded with the braid stuff from amazon comes in saturday. Got my card in today.......OMG its so big TWSS

So apparently Best Buy has removed all non ti cards from its inventory. Speculation that nvidia may be manipulating the market.

Where do you guys think the 4080 will be priced? Any thoughts?
 
I think its beyond speculation :)
Why do you play on PC Bearcat? I see you playing the show and seating on ps5. What are your PC games? What games are you looking to improve with your new card?

Flight Sim, Forza Horizons, Forza 8 when it comes, FFXIV, Moving all my Destiny main stuff to PC, and you know how it is having some disposable income and being a tech lover lol. I plan on playing most of everything on PC with exception to PS exlusives and Madden.

I wouldn’t mind getting back into destiny but I log in and I’m completely lost. Lol.

Me and two of my friends have played every season lol. I dont know how long ago it was when you played, but they have done so much with the game and made so many improvements. Might want to watch their last viddoc on the new expansion that comes in Feb of next year.............its incredible.
 
"Benchmark" may have been a bit of a misnomer. I'm hoping to hear about performance gains in games you've been playing.
Well I found two PCIe cables and they have the pigtail on it so I went ahead and hooked it up. Crazy, its so quiet and even when it was chugging at the most load point in the benchmark, I really could barely make out the fan sound. My 3060ti FE (I did love that card) would get pretty loud under a heavy load. Of course the gains benchmark wise were pretty great. Gonna try it in a few games and see how much I can push it. Really happy right now and it looks so good and super quiet.

The graphics card scored 20192 points in 3DMark Time Spy Extreme, so just a bit more than rumored 19K for GeForce RTX 4090 GPU. The overall score is low because the sample was tested with Core i5-12400F processor. With such score, this GPU is 78% faster than RTX 3090 Ti, the current flagship of the NVIDIA Ampere series, and 90% faster than its predecessor, the RTX 3090. :D
 
$3K was going to be my guess. These things are out of control. Hey Freak...what are you using now? Maybe I can buy it for cheap? j/k. I don't play games currently.

Sept. 20 will be interesting, if we can get some prices. 3k is crazy high.
