Replaced by 12V-2×6 in ATX 3.1 CEM 5.1 specs are out. You won't need a new PSU if your PSU didn't use a 12+4 on PSU side. So Corsair are fine. https://hwbusters.com/news/no-more-12vhpwr-connector-say-hi-to-12v-2x6/ I wouldn't want to be holding a 4090 with a 12VHPWR right now assuming Nvidia...

at 4k you might get away with it. But you do you game at 4k with a 4070? I remember upgrading from a 2500k to a 4790k and I thought, 'meh'. But I then I got a 8086k and it blew the doors off at 1200p.

Have the scheduling issues with the 7950x3d been fixed yet?

Annoying issue with the S24, the 'vivid' screen mode does nothing, its the same as natural. I hope they fix this the next update.

I remember the glory days with when you'd get 2x the CPU performance every year, or even less than a year, and with a GPU treble the FPS in Quake 2/3 every year, and now you have to wait 8 years for a doubling of performance, lol. I kinda liked sticking it to The Man with my SL2QG @ 448mhz

So I bought the bequiet! adaptor, got the 4080, and it works fine. The only problem is the card is so huge there's little horizontal clearance for the cable so I can't put the side of the case back on, but I don't really mind that. I don't want to bend the cable given the issues with this new...

Yeah, I said in this thread or another thread that there's no difference at 4k between a 5800x3d and 7800x3d. But that cache helps with old RTS and MMO games like WoW. And the 7800x3d uses much less power, which is why I lean toward it.

My Dark Power Pro is still going strong after 9 years. It's a beast. Money well spent.

7800X3D hands down. You won't notice the different in productivity compared to say a 14700k.

from a 5800x3d to 7800x3d at 4k - no difference whatsover. get a better gpu instead.

its a mid range PSU, Tier B. 850w is fine for a 4080.

Cheers, this cable is precisely what I need. I just wish it was in stock! https://www.overclockers.co.uk/be-quiet-12vhpwr-pci-e-adapter-cable-cb-000-bq.html

well, I won't need a new psu, just a new 8xPCIE cable from somewhere.

Dark Power Pro, but its old.

PSU isn't ATX 3.0 so doesn't have the 12VHPWR. if the Palit gets away using 2x then so will this. I mean my 3080 currently uses 335w.

yeah I'm looking at the MSI GeForce RTX 4080 16GB GAMING X TRIO which I think comes with a 3x adapter but I'm 100% I'll be fine with 2 since its 2x150W + 75w from the slot.

Thinking of getting a 4080. Does it require 2x8 pin PCIE (via the adapter) or 3? Because I can't find the second PCIE cable that came with my Dark Power Pro, which I bought about a decade ago. I run a 3080 fine with 2 and I know the 4080 uses slightly less power.

and the issue with MSRP is miners bought the cards no matter what the price was because it was all profit. It didn't matter. Gamers are different. We won't pay *any* price for a 4080.

Prices are hitting MSRP for the first time since 2019, then factor in the 8 million used cards to hit the market in August - yea I think we will see 3080 <£500. its already £700! It's going to be interesting to see how NV price the 4k series given it will be a buyers market.

No point switching, they are all charging the new cap.
