Nvidia 4000 series cards

Don't hope. Open and check after half an hour of furmark or few hours of gaming

Not gonna try furmark lol. I have been gaming albeit only fifa for hours now. If its to happen it will happen eventually.

I did benchmark the card quite a bit few days back with lot of games, 3dmark stress test, at absolute max settings and power draw did reach 550w at max with 133% power limit.

Also could psu be at fault for burnouts like these?

If the connectors are burnt at the PSU side then there is a chance but so far all the connectors that has gone bad are at the gpu side so the fault is at 12VHPWR side. And also each pin of the 8 pin PCIe cables is rated for 7A, 7Ax3P=21A, 21Ax12v=252W, so there is ample room to draw more power as 8 pin connectors are generally restricred to 150w and PSU(Seasonic, EVGA and other quality ones) are known to provide up to 220w.
 
Warning: Those who are using 2k or FHD monitors will actually see, a dip in FPS with RTX 4090. My BF 2042 frames have dropped by 30-40 and so has the power consumption as Ryzen 5900X is not able to push adequate number of frames.

RTX 4090 is strictly a 4K gfx card and it will bottleneck almost every processor(Intel/AMD) at 2K resolution or below.

So an impulsive upgrade like me, will ultimately force you to upgrade to a 4k monitor. So, plan your upgrade accordingly.

All reports so far point to connector. Technically each PCIe lane from PSU is able to handle much more than 150W

Why did you upgrade(though impulsive) if you are gaming at 2K are below? Starting from 3090 it was known that these cards make sense only at 4K

This was shown in all reviews of 4090. Thats why i upgraded to 4k along with the 4090.

How about 2k with full blown RT?
Try it with share some numbers this time.
Cheers,

My 3.5 yrs old Acer Predator Z271U was acting up with random scan lines. So, Monitor upgrade was due, even placed order for Samsung Neo G8 for 72k, from Flipkart during Sale, but it was not a full GSYNC monitor, so cancelled it and then suddenly invites for RTX 4090 popped up. No reasonable 4k GSYNC Ultimate monitor is available atm. Will wait.

BF 2042, I am playing at all Ultra with RTX, but the fps hover around 90-110, in place of 110-140 earlier with 3080 Ti.

But I am saving on power though ;), max power is around 160-180 Watts in place of 300-340 on RTX 3080 Ti. At least some solace.

I will happily swap my 3090 for your 4090. Win win for both :p

Makes even lesser sense. I know you are no novice but did some one mess with your power profile?
The same CPU is yealding higher Fps on the last generation of GPU. The only other logical explanation is poor driver support for the newer generation.

Yup, a bit abstruse, but what I construe is the number of times RTX 4090 knocks door of Ryzen 5900x for data is beyond is the capacity of processor.

That's a CPU bottleneck but that doesn't mean it won't give at least that much performance as last gen.
You need to use Display driver uninstaller and then clean install new drivers. All while being offline (otherwise windows update will shove an old driver) and don't run any tools such as MSI afterburner/EVGA precision etc. while driver is installing.
Seems like it is an issue with the dongle that NVIDIA is supplying. Bad quality control on it.
Issue is that the solder joints are not of good quality and hence prone to breaking/loosening when bended sideways.


This issue doesn't plague 30 series which uses a similar connector as per looks but also runs dedicated wires for 12 pins which are clipped as compared to a few wires in the new plug for 40 series which are soldered.

In addition, if your current monitor supports it, you could also set a custom 4K resolution and play at that @sstiwari .

(Nvidia Control Panel -> Display -> Change resolution -> Customise... -> Create Custom Resolution... -> 'Display mode'.)
 
Anyone has any idea about the mobile side of things? Any ETAs or information of what's gonna be shipped in upcoming gaming laptops?
