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.
@amarand ill definitely keep this in mind. Thanks!
@amarand the guy at the store said that was just on the 4090s, and it was an issue with the connector that he swore has been fixed. But juuust in case, I went with a 4080 and now I'm going to play all my games on max settings.
Awesome! May your rig stay fire-free! 😹
@dr_zooks
Yup. Be extra extra careful with the 40’s if you decide to go that route. Only use certified cables. Fire and melting sucks.
