I would never buy ZOTAC or Palit.

My Zotac 3090 ran hot... but had a tiny cooler on it which allowed me to squeeze it into a 4u rackmount case which no other 3090 could fit. No issues and It was still going strong when I sold it last week.
Palit has sub brands like KFA2, Gainwood, Galax etc. They're like the largest GPU manufacturer. Not sure what your issue is there?

 

[Pagusas]

Never understand anyone who would go AIO Water hybrid with the GPU, it’s too expensive to rely on an internal pump. Go custom loop like I do, or stick with all air.

 

[MiguelItUp]

I would never buy ZOTAC or Palit.

My brain associates them with them being low quality.

Asus and Gigabyte have never caused me issues when it comes to GPUs.

Palit I've never heard of, lmao. But I guess I'll be more cautious about ZOTAC.

I've always loved Asus, Gigabyte was hit or miss with me.

What are you guy's thoughts on PNY cards?

Not everyone is experienced/confident enough to go custom loop but want the benefits of water cooling.

In my case, when looking at these 4090's the air cooled versions are all just too big and heavy so going for one of the AIO editions if I can find one is a much better fit for my case.

What are you guy's thoughts on PNY cards?

PNY are solid, they are a big AIB partner for the quadro cards. Just check reviews for the specific card you're looking at of course.

Less than Asus, MSI and Gigabyte cards.

 

[GHG]

Less than Asus, MSI and Gigabyte cards.

I'd say they are above gigabyte and MSI tbh. They have really solid reliability (they need to given thier main focus). It's just that they often get overlooked due to not being as flashy and typically "gamer focused" in their marketing. Availability is also an issue in some regions for non enterprise cards of course.

I think they might be the exclusive provider for Quadros. That, or at least a heavily preferred partner.

I don't think they are exclusive, I've also seen HP and Lenovo Quadros before but they are definitely the most popular option in that space.

If this starts to become a reoccurring problem then expect these cards to have a slight redesign and a standard 3x PCIe setup before the 5xxx series is out.

Someone pointed out that Corsair hasn’t had any of their new pcie 5.0 600w cables in stock since launch and wonders if they discovered an issue. I’ve been checking their website every day trying to buy one and I’ve also noticed that they haven’t been restocking them. Hmm…

I’m shocked we haven’t seen a flood of quickly designed 90 and 180 degree adapters. The fact we haven’t makes me believe it’s not a simple thing and likely people are running into lots of issues making them (I was thinking of trying to make my own and 3d print it as I already have the terminal pins, but I have a lot more research to do before starting the project)

Interestingly he has said AMD will be using the same 12VHPWR connector too. It looked like AMD photoshopped the power connectors out of the RDNA3 image at the last presentation but I have not seen it confirmed anywhere else yet that they would use this new standard over 8pins.
I kinda hope they don't tbh.

It's going to happen, or the port itself will be redesigned.

Honestly, who the fuck was even asking for this?

Everything so far indicates 3x8.

they'll just change the cable to one with an L shape connector which won't bend and allow connectors to come out of place.

 

[PhoenixTank]

Right? That was my understanding too but he blurted it out so casually

Edit:


Mild panic averted, AMD are not using 12VHPWR, and Jay was just wrong on that point.

That’s exactly my thinking as well.
Turned out the non-liquid Suprim X was nearly idential to my 3070ti though, just a bit thicker which isn’t a problem. So I went with that one. It’s actually less noisy and runs cooler than my old card, so it’s an unreal upgrade tbh.

They use two cables to the PSU, that’s 300W per plug into the PSU if they follow the spec.

I’m guessing it’ll pop up in stock eventually with 4 cables to help spread out and lower the current per connector pin.

 

[b0uncyfr0]

It was probably answered somewhere but i missed it ..

Can i turn the 'Optical Flow Interpolation' feature in DLSS 3 off? If i wanted to go back down to better quality of DLSS 2, do i at least have the option to do it.. preferrably per game..?

frame generation is its own setting, you enable it seperately

it has actually nothing to do with "DLSS". NVIDIA did it wrong. they simply should've named it NVFG (nvidia frame generation). dlss by meaning is deep learning super "sampling". it literally does process with pixels, sampling them

frame generation has nothing about sampling. dlss 2 meant that you supersample a lower pixel count to a higher pixel count. frame generation has nothing to do with it.

hence it is not bundled or packaged or tied with DLSS 2 "super resolution".

The fact the port itself was considerably smaller raised alarm bells in my eyes.

More power, smaller port, less surface area contact. What could possibly go wrong?

This should also send a message to NVIDIA and AMD that if your card requires more than 3x 8 pins to power, there is something seriously wrong. The push for power hungry cards isn't something that should be celebrated IMO.

The PCIE affords 75W + 450W from 3x 8 pins. That is MORE than enough to design your GPU as per power budget.

But we know that applying a 60% power limit to the 4090 actually saves a ton of power with not too much of a performance impact.

Can you actually buy them from a shop or like they only come in their systems.
Cuz ive never seen any A series cards NOT built by PNY for sale.
All the other ones are OEM only so they dont really count cuz if you are a system builder or hobbyist builder youve got nowhere to "officially" buy such a card.

I wouldn’t buy this ever. 300w on each pcie 8 pins ???? Like wtf . Even if it was 4, it really has to be properly graded for me to even trust it. Not saying what nvidia is using is the best in the market but .. does anyone know how much really is a 600w to toy with weird cables ? Lol just no

It's the same with this PSU which is ATX 3.0, it's legit, I'm using it with a 4090.

Yes maybe if it’s pcie 5 atx 3.0 PSU . But shouldn’t be used on older psu . If u r using it on old psu the. Stahppp

For science! Some heat camera pics when playing the new A Plague Tale.

Just booted it up:

A couple minutes later, stabilized for awhile with 99% GPU usage

Bonus pic. If anyone ever wonder where the heat comes from in a PC

The heat on the 12VHP connector was building up over time but stabilized just under 50C, I couldn’t see that the heat comes from the actual connection, or a specific spot on the connector, it looked like it slowly spread from the graphics card itself and into the cable and became cooler the further away on the cable I looked, the 4 adapter plugs were cool all the time.

Are you sure they just arent rebranded (reNumbered) PNYs?
Cuz PNY is the "official" supplier of Nvidia A series GPUs.

Bet if you open them up they are identical to the PNYs
i.e The reference which PNY makes.

Ohh yeah.
That looks like the reference design.
Theres probably some regional licensing shenanigans that leads to multiple companies selling the exact same thing.


I just checked the Lenovo A6000 and it looks to be the exact same thing as the PNY A6000 and the Leadtek A6000.
Im sure for compatibility and quality control reasons Nvidia doesnt allow manufacturers to really mess with their Quadro cards.
Cant have a Quadro fail when its supposed to be rendering a million dollar movie or something.

[Scotracer]

I had a Zotac 3070 Twin Edge. It was a great card.

I sold it and picked up a Gigabyte 3080 Ti for just £100 more. It's a monster of a card. And less than half the price of a 4080. Boom.

Some of the AIBs are $1549 (not a typo, yes thats $50 less than a 4090), and the majority of stock will be $1299+ OC models. You would have to be retarded to buy that shit. Demand for 4090s will double over night.

I have no doubt whatsoever this crap will be sold out within hours. at leas the MSRP models. Models which will never be restocked for that price again, unless you're going for a 4080 FE.

Then they'll be available within a few days, depending on your region, like the 4090 (they're available in the UK, but none for MSRP).

I'm thinking that's just a "Corsair thing". I say that as I tried to get a front panel for the 4000D case (i.e. something that should easily be in stock), and it was perpetually out of stock.

What a rip off the 4080 is.

 

[Sanepar]

Man! What a bad deal this gpu. 4080 would be on a good spot at $899.

It will tie with a 7900 xt in raster and probably be beated by 15-20% in raster by 7900 xtx.

Nvidia doesn't want sell these gpus.

Wonder what the 4060 will be priced at yeeesh.

 

[Pagusas]

God I love my 4090, its the most amazing halo product ever...

But that 4080? Holy shit what a horribly priced product.

I dont get Nvidia's branding choices. This is how things should have been:

4090 should have been called a Titan - priced as it (performance to price is actually a great value)

4080 should have been called 4090 and priced at $1000

4070 TI should have been called 4080 - Priced at $800

The 4090 should not have been advertised in the same line as the rest, the Titan name should have stayed and allowed them to not have the 4090 just embarrassing the 4080 in price to performance ration.
