Discussion The Nvidia 4080 GPUs will be released in November 2022

So....cut costs on the adapter, and charge more for the card. Yea, that's not corporate greed rearing its ugly head or anything. F*** you, nVidia.

All corporations are run by greed. The goal of any company is not to have morality but to try to make money. Companies don't have morals, people have morals. The issue we get into is when the market is not allowed for one reason or another to balance that out. This is usually the case with monopolies or duopolies. This is why competition should be fostered and encouraged. AMD needs to gut punch Nvidia right now and Intel I hope comes into their own with GPUs. These things will rein in Nvidia.

That's why I want all these 40x0 cards to sit on the shelves. To teach nVidia and scalpers a valuable lesson not to take your market for granted. Burning down your prospective buyer's house is not a way to endear them to future purchases.

Well said and agreed.

AMD has already started they're not going to use that crappy connector on the 7000 series gpu's. But that may also permit be sure to potentially lower TGP. We'll have to wait and see.

The AMD GPUs, don't even draw 400Ws, you can use the PSU you have

 

[Ch3vr0n]

Yup, but their drivers suck donkey balls and don't work with Clonebd. I'm team green all the way

Will wait for the new Intel Arc to be released here.

 

[SamuriHL]

That Intel gpu is going to be a short lived experiment imo.

yup, they're gonna have to step up performance real fast, real quick if they want any chance of taking a piece of the pie away from amd/nvidia and step up their drivers too. But i hope they succeed, it can only be good for competition/pricing with the other 2

In my opinion, if gaming is going to survive, Nvidia will always have the best available. This is the first launch I can remember that they screwed up. I still have the Geforce 256 from the olden days in my GPU collection.

Ask Jensen if you can hook your rig up to Selene and then you will be the best gamer in the world. Then you will be a Rockstar.

4090? 4080? 7000 series?

ppfftt I have a "Bitchin Fast 3D 2000"

Different cable gauges used with different voltage rating between the one IL disassembled and GN got, as well as different soldering techniques. So while IL may be on to something, it may not be the single cause.

Not even ATX 3.0 native PCIE 5.0 direct cables to 12VHPWR are safe from the meltdown @RedFox 1!

There seems to be some serious issues with the power draw and the cabling. For me personally, that just solidifies the decision to stick with AMD. I will buy a 7000 series within the next few months assuming they can be found and for near MSRP.

 

[Ch3vr0n]

The power draw isn't much of the problem. It's that stupid connector design. Put 4 8pins on it for all i care, at least that's a solid connector and not a fire hazard

I personally think all they have to do is stop soldering the connector wires and start crimping them and the heat issue would be a moot point.

Perhaps, but this does seem to indicate that your statement (and i wish it was true) of "Just use an ATX 3.0 PSU and you'll be safe", is now out the window

My source at Nvidia is changing his stories day to day. I have to say I honestly do not know, he is sending a crimped connector, his exact words to me were that solder is very heat sensitive and crimping is the way they will continue into the future, if the solder melts we have issues, a good crimp is much better, they are developing a tool now for a highheat passthrough.
