    Zotac vs Gainward?...

    Ended up picking up a ASUS TUF GAMING 4070ti SUPER. Coming from a GTX 1060 6B, its an upgrade to say the least!.... Sick of waiting around, lifes too short, should it be less than £830?, sure, but I can afford it. Was originally intending on getting the 4070 SUPER, but I decided I wanna hang...

    Zotac vs Gainward?...

    Any experience from the above two manufacturers would be appreciated, looking at the 4070ti SUPER models they both do, same price currently, was also interested in the MSI SLIM GAMING X, but thats £80 more and cannot justify the extra cost. I know Zotac is 5 year warranty compared to Gainwards...

    Founders Edition cards from UK.

    Only reason it went our of stock is because they ship limited numbers to their "retailer of choice", so I am sure they are just busy shipping them more. The 4080 SUPER is garbage tier offering. Only reason the FE is out of stock on that is cause its a paper launch, limited stock for 3rd party...

    Founders Edition cards from UK.

    Yeah its all a scam, paper launch BS....to just sell 3rd party crap for £1100+, there was no boost in performance, there was no price drop, its just a maketing gimmick to get their name out there again.... ONLY card SEMI worth considering, as a tide me over, and its STILL a con job, is the 4070...

    Yeah sorry, 4070 SUPER FE or a 3rd party 4070ti SUPER, even considering the 4080 SUPER now too....

    Founders Edition cards from UK.

    Hey guys, just wondered if anyone knows where the FE cards are shipped from that are sold directly from Nvidia online store? And where their warranty is dealt with if know. Cheers. Thinking of getting a tide me over card, but I will probably make it last until next full build, waiting on new...

    NVIDIA 4000 Series

    I think another perspective that is often missed, is the fact that even today, our CPUs are too slow to fully take advantage of a 4090, sometimes still bottlenecked even at 4k... I game at 1440p, because its 240hz, curved and I love my Samsung G7, never enjoyed a monitor as much, and 1440p is...

    NVIDIA 4000 Series

    Yep, this is what I am doing. Because even if you "only" spend £600 now, for example on a 4070 SUPER, and spend £1000 on a 5080, it will still be faster than the 4090, by some margin too... This is assuming it will be £1000, but I reckon Nvidia learnt their lesson and will price it same as the...

    NVIDIA 4000 Series

    If the 5080 is at least 30% above the 4090, and no more than £900 I will buy it. If the 5090 is 50+% above the 4090 and no more than £1500 I will consider that too. But more like the 5080, as I expect because the performance gains will be smaller this coming nextgen, they will do the same as...

    Indeed me too, I had the money 10 x over for a 4090, I refuse on principle, to refuse to be part of the problem and reason we have rising prices.

    NVIDIA 4000 Series

    Waiting for nextgen, no way these super cards offer enough value this late in the game.... The "BEST" choice by far is the 4070 SUPER at around £600, but the issue with that is, at this point in time, I know 100% when I see what £800 gets me performance wise nextgen, I will have buyers remorse...

    NVIDIA 4000 Series

    Overpriced HOT garbage, the original 4080 was £400 overpriced and should have been no more than £800. We are now coming way too close for comfort to the release of the 50XX series, meaning we need even better value. This card needed to be below where the original 4080 should have been, since...

    NVIDIA 4000 Series

    Going from a 3080, which is still a great card, to an overpriced 4070 ti Super is a SERIOUSLY bad "upgrade", for £800 you want nothing less than a 5080 which is 30% above a 4090, or at WORST a 5070 which is on par with a 4090 for around £600, anything less than that, and you just mugging...

    NVIDIA 4000 Series

    Exactly the situation I find myself in, and have been in for years now, I have waited so long to upgrade, while putting up with an old GTX 1060 6gb, that at this point I am so fed up with dGPU prices and AMD & NVIDIA greed, that I simply do not care anymore, I just will not buy anything that is...

    NVIDIA 4000 Series

    Personally, If I was buying an expensive, upper midrange GPU, I would want it to focus on how it compares to previous generations of expensive GPUS, could not give a rats ass what is going on with an OLD tech based PS5.XBOX, if I did, guess what, I'd own a console LOL.... But I do not, this is...

    The better late than never OcUK RTX4070 Super review thread!

    Not posted in a while lads, had some health issues during 2023 after a car accident... But here is my take on the new 4070 "SUPER". Firstly, the performance is what the card should have been on release, but for an upper midrange card, it is lacking in VRAM. Bearing that in mind, the...

    Any news on 7800 xt?

    Nvidia is just greedy, AMD are stupid, they don't want to grow their business. They literally push people to either just end up buying Nvidia or wait for new gen.... They do not want to grow their GPU market share...

    Any news on 7800 xt?

    AMD decided to name it the 7800XT, meaning its meant to be an upgrade to the 6800XT, its not, simple as that. RDNA3 is a massive fail generation. I will NEVER be hyped again for any AMD GPU release, 100% scepticism until an AMD release is proven a genuine, solid upgrade. If a card is not an...
