Nvidia RTX 4000 Launch

[FourWheelDrift]

Never realised there was a little light ring on the top fan surround.



Just got to order the Seasonic 12VHPWR cable now for my PSU.

Finally got the build done. Just a few teething problems like no Internet as the network adaptor doesn't seem to be working.
Looking forward to making the rgb light blue once I'm up and running

Who's 12VHPWR cable is that, extension or PSU replacement?

PSU replacement from Cable Mod. Still not sure if I should also get the 180 degree adaptor

Thanks.

Ps. Their adapters have had a few failures.

Just ran the Horizon Zero Dawn benchmark to compare it to my 3080. Averaged 204 fps at ultimate quality and only pulling between 180w and 210w.

52 degrees was a hot as it got, and the fans didn't start until it hit 48.

Odd that the top light in the surround is RGB but the Geforce RTX on the side is white only.

I found it really awkward to aesthetically route those chunky GPU cables - should really have got a bigger case than the iCUE 220T

Think I'll have to transplant everything over to a Streacom SG10 passive cooling case.

Hadn't seen one of those cases before, but looks like a great bit of kit!

I just had a look at activating resizable bar and it's not activate on my 4090 and the resizable bar update tool only mentions 3000 series cards, is it the same tool for 4000 as well or is there a different one, as I can't find anything else.

^ Just talks about 3000 series.

I think it was a firmware update to enable it on the 30-series, but is baked in to the 40-series.

So there must be a BIOS or Nvidia control panel setting that's not enabled...as mine (4090FE and 5800X) has it enabled.

I've sorted it, I was being an idiot. Where it said Rebar - No on control panel I had read it as not present, rather than not activated. I activated it in the BIOS and it's now Yes.

Just hope that your favourite game is not one of those that doesn't benefit from it

[FourWheelDrift]

I've run it on and off with my 3080 and the only differences were better 1% and 0.1% lows when on. So with the extra headroom of the 4090 if it drops a little on some games it doesn't matter.

Forcing it through Nvidia Inspector can make it work on unsupported games too.

What's everyone doing with their old cards? I have a GTX 1080 I want to replace

Do you mind me asking what screen you are using?

Sold one on here, and the other on ebay.

Completed sales of GTX1080 8GB seem to be around the £90-£150 range on ebay (CEX offering £75 cash). Completed sales of the 11GB version of £130-£200.

Looked at CEX, but their prices were awful (i.e. £400 for a RTX3080Ti FE), and after ebay fees I got over 50% more than that on ebay (although more worry about being scammed).

Ps. G-Sync compatible.

Thanks for that. I have kind of lost touch with the GPU world. The 1080 (8gb) has been rock solid to be fair but feel it's getting a little wheezy playing Diablo 4 these days. The rest of my specs are find, ryzen 3600, 32gb ram. The gfx card I kept when I upgraded as was fine at the time.

Yeah, I wouldn’t bother with the CableMod right-angle adaptor as they’ve had loads of problems with them.

I do however use a standard CableMod replacement 12VHPWR cable and have done for the past 9 months without issue.
