Good idea.

PSA: how to overclock + undervolt your rtx4000 to get the best Performance, Thermal and Frametimes Consistency

Here are some Overclocked+Undervolted benchmarks at various Freq/Volt, I personally use 2595mhz/900mV profile for 24/7 usage

You could add it to the OP, if you no longer have edit ability on that post, asking a mod can resolve that issue fast.

Ayo, I'm in the 4000 gang now!

 

[BarbaricSoul]

scored a 4080 FE from Best Buy on Christmas Day

That is a Deep Cool Assassin III cooling the CPU. Don't worry, I have the GPU support bracket installed in the case. It's just not present in the picture.
(excuse the dust, case is old)

The 4080 compared to my previous EVGA RTX 3070 Black

 

[Super Firm Tofu]

I guess I've joined the club.

Arrived Saturday. (Shipped Friday - Newegg steppin' up their game )

W1zz's review was spot-on -- I can't believe how quiet it is.

 

[Arco]

Never thought I would get a card on Newegg due to bots. The Gaming OC card is very quiet, has no coil whine, and is super powerful.

PSA: Techpowerup now also host new DLL for Frame Generation that you can swap into existing game folder for better IQ

NVIDIA DLSS 3 Frame Generation DLL 3.7.0 Download

This download provides various versions of NVIDIA's DLSS 3 DLL for download. In this one file, which is bundled with all games that support DLSS 3

www.techpowerup.com

On the other hand, DLSS2 version 2.5.1 is the best right now, according to peeps who like to pixel peep, DLSS Performance with 2.5.1 look very good.

Not happy about it. But it's at the absolute limit of what I'm willing to spend. Got my eyes on a 4070ti that is at the base price in the UK (£799). At 1440p, the old MSI 2080ti Duke, is showing it's age when I'm looking at performance in new games. The power budget is good (draws less than my Turing card), and it's £100+ cheaper than any 7900XT card. Plus, I'm using a hardware implemented GSync monitor. And you all thought I was a hater (well, I am with regards to the pricing BS). Well, I'll sleep on it and pull the trigger tomorrow, maybe. I'm still in indecision limbo... FWIW, I jacked in my paying job, so this comes out of finite savings.

I completely agree on the pricing. Nvidia watched what the market was willing to pay during mining/covid and adjusted accordingly. Unfortunately, it is what it is and the choice is to either give up PC gaming or accept the new cost of admission. I am extremely fortunate that I am able to accept current pricing, but am well aware this is pushing a good number of people out of the market. That sucks not just for them, but as less and less people are able to buy GPUs, they're only going to get more expensive for those left. It's happened before - The mid and upper end of hi-fi equipment is now mostly boutique level pricing. The same with camera gear. The cost of lenses now forced me out of that hobby.

As for your decision to grab a 4070 Ti or not, for what it's worth, the 4080 that I bought has been a huge surprise. It's probably the best piece of hardware that I've bought in the last 10 years. I have zero regrets about the card itself.

 

[gffermari]

I'm on the same page as @Super Firm Tofu

The 4070Ti price is tempting but the performance increase from the 2080Ti is....nearly acceptable.
While the 4080 performance is what I would like to upgrade to. About 2x the 2080Ti.
But it's nearly 400 pounds more!!!!

Still trying to justify the cost of the 4080....

I think it's time to wake up and order that sweet juicy 4070Ti .

I bet some sweet gaming session will boost your productivity, or turn you into a weeb, who knows

Thinking about this right now, to be honest. I can go pick an Eagle tomorrow and it'll save me $50, just gotta send the XT right back to Amazon afterwards.

There's a lot to like about the XT, but the performance in old/light games is so bad. Either 90W idle, or terrible performance from VRAM downclock.

Originally I did mostly justify the XT on DCS, but as soon as I bought the XT Eagle Dynamics dropped the bombshell that Vulkan and DLSS are both coming to DCS. We knew about Vulkan, no one knew about DLSS. XT performance in DCS is actually very good, but there are many others that are dealbreakers. It's a shame, the XT was actually a pretty lucky deal at ~$850.

I'll be joining this club soon. Can't fucking wait.

Here I thought how dead the rtx3000/4000 clubs are, because no one really has anything to complain .

Maybe some competition as to who can get the most FPS out of Frame Generation can spite up the thread a little

at least with nvidia I can watch fucking youtube all day without worrying about a fucking power bill increasing vs a XT or XTX 7000 series. absolute nonsense they released it in that state.

hell with as much youtube as I watch, that alone will make up the different in cost LOL

The 30 series club was like

How is frame generation so far? I don't play anything or plan to play anything with it but only heard less than positive feedback about it. More input lag and hitching would be a no-no for me.

I sold my 3070Ti before DLSS 2.5, so kinda excited to get back to swapping dlls. Anyone using the Cablemod 12VHWPR extension?

It may work well but is what you paid for? In other words, is it value for money?

FG kinda changed my mind really, before I was happy playing at 60-80FPS, but now I get spoiled with 100FPS+ at all times with FG .

I just played the ending of CP2077 again with FG enabled, butter smooth ~100FPS with good input latency

I use Corsair 12VHPWR cable, I think getting the cable from PSU maker would be better option than Cablemod

 

[Super Firm Tofu]

I’m using this one (well, the all black version):

https://www.amazon.com/CableMod-ModMesh-Sleeved-12VHPWR-Corsair/dp/B0BJ2DL87S/

No complaints. It’s a bit longer than what I need, but it’s still cleaner than three 8 pin cables. The connection at the card works well and the three 8 pins to the power supply are easy to route.

I guess I will pick up the all-white one to match my corsair kit:



Didn't realize until now these go all the way to the PSU, that's a plus.

@nguyen I saw the Corsair one too, same price. If it was CM's regular sleeving job, for sure, but the Pro seems worth. I use Corsair's own Type 4 kit, cables chunky as hell but the 12vhpwr connector looks a bit cheap

That will look really nice in your setup. I really wanted to go with a few connections as possible so I was pretty stoked to get from PSU to the card with one cable.

Are there any issues getting back over the border with stuff shipped to the US? It's been forever since I've shipped anything to Canada and always wondered if it's feasible to do so with duty/import fees.

I remember when I lived in Bellingham that going back and forth was pretty easy, but that was a long time ago (pre 9/11).

Super convenient since Blaine on the border and I'm 10 minutes from the border, closer for me to go to the US of A than IKEA......it's mostly small value stuff that I bring back so it's fine.

If I brought back a GPU I would probably need to pay GST. Otherwise CBSA does not care about 3 digit value

The most annoying thing is border waits, so I book an after hours locker and go pick up my stuff at 10pm when it's deserted lmao. Haven't been in nexus for a couple years, applied to renew but there's like a 6 month backlog

Ordered my card. Cheapest I could get but I'm hopeful the triple slot, extended height translates to quiet. Same TDP as my 2080ti but fatter and taller. Was almost put off; I've got a 3700x but looking at TPUs charts, at 1440p, on games like Cyberpunk, the CPU is irrelevant to a degree. I've got the bios update prepped if I choose to upgrade the AM4 again (to a 5800X3D).

Arrives tomorrow.

Awesome! Which 4070 Ti? I'm sure you can get by, but the combination of it being Nvidia, gaming at 1440p, and your RAM kit methinks a 5800X3D would be an even bigger jump in performance for you than most others.

This is the first time I've been able to run a game without the fans ever coming on. Loving it.

 

[the54thvoid]

It's a Gainward card. Never bought from them, always seemed the lesser AIB. But tbh, with a warranty, and bought from UK's biggest etailer, I'm cool about it.

This one.

Galax = Gainward = Palit iirc, all the same company.

I still feel like brits get better warranty support and return policies than we do. But then again, maybe that's still EU-centric thinking from 7 years ago.
