Have you considered a 30-series? Probably a better value -and- you won’t need as much power.
@amarand I was looking at the 30 series when I noticed the price on the 40s. I'm gonna be torn for a while.
@amarand nope, closest store to me has a 4070 cheaper than a 3090. Darn it all to heck and back I'm gonna HAVE to get a 40 series.
Not an on-line shopper?
Just remember the 40-series is going to have potentially increased power requirements and also alternate cabling. It’s a whole thing. Good luck!
@amarand it sounds like a thing. I'll weigh my options and see how much I want to mess with.
The 40-series had, in the beginning, such high power requirements that they had to design a new power connector, which melted...and caused fires. I'm sure they fixed that, right? 🙀
@amarand that would explain why they all came with 8 pin to 16 pin cables. Also, that sounds like Crysis 3 and their melting video cards thing.
Yup. Be extra extra careful with the 40’s if you decide to go that route. Only use certified cables. Fire and melting sucks.
