4070Ti SUPER $799 4080 SUPER $999 Hey everyone should I grab a 4070Ti Super now? Or wait for 4080 Super? 😁 I am really tempted to grab a 4070Ti Super right now and just run that lol. I hate to save $140-$200 and lose 15-20% performance though by being impatient.

Ohh that’s so lucky! Maybe I can get a 4080 Super. I’m not very good at buying stuff fast on launch days though so I’m worried.

I really want a 4080 Super FE preferably. I’ll try my best to get one.

@electrosoft you seem pretty tech savvy with picking up launch day toys @Talonyou as well. What do you think your chances would be at getting a 4080 Super on Launch day? Or at least ordering one on launch day? From maybe Bestbuy or Nvidia? I keep hearing people say that bots are the only way. Is this true?

It would be fun to cook a 4090M in a desktop though. Shunt mod, and cold water. And then go race some laptop guys and tell them you too have a “laptop” and it’s the fastest Dell you’d ever seen 😂😂😂

I know I have been tempted to buy it just to have as a spare chip or for 2nd build. I can’t stand a low bin chip my self. And finding good chips for retail pricing is not very common.

The iceman ram blocks are nice! Much better fitment and easier assembly. I may grab some. The supercools are nice, but installation isn’t exact everytime.

Wow! I’m impressed 15K in PR out of a 4070 Super for $599.99?. What a value! I might grab one of the 4070Ti Supers since they are 16GB. Or just the 4080 Super. Either one is a great value for $799 and $999 though. I just want less power consumption, for less burden on my chiller. My 3090kp is fast but it’s a total power hog.

Yes!!! YES!!! YES!!! That is a good one for sure! I tested one similar to that, and it was a mean chip! Here is my 14900KF R-batch chip I got from Germany; this is actually the very first time pressing the gas on it. Chip is 100% stock and not delidded at all. I love it so much. This is also the first time buying a binned CPU and actually being 100% pleased with it, even after paying through my teeth. I have hundreds of hours on it already in my daily work rig, and I just love it lol. 6.0P/4.8E/5.0R @350 watts on a stock CPU. 🤩

Wow! That’s a really good buy! I don’t think my Apex has a U.2 though. Maybe there is an adapter. I really want one of those. I’ve consolidated down to a single Gen4 2TB M.2, and I find my self clearing clutter to add more clutter sometimes. 8TB for $400 is amazing.

Hey I would totally rock one of those Yeston 4080 Soops. 🤣

Yes, it’s very clean when mounted to the motherboard, just make sure you set it to 100% in the bios. It has its own designated PWM plug right on the motherboard. I’m excited to get one! I’m probably just going to grab a 4080 Super FE if I can get so lucky. I’m selling my 3090 KP HC. And I’m genuinely excited to try another GPU. I just hope I can acquire a 4080 Super on launch day. I feel like if I don’t acquire one I’ll end up having to spend more money on a used 4090 instead. And I really don’t want to exceed the $999 budget because it kinda defeats the purpose. I really just want the new frame gen features, slightly better performance, on something more efficient.

Hey! You should mount the Encore ram fan on the motherboard and reverse its orientation. It will blow air on the back of your new 2080Ti. That little fan at 100% is actually very very powerful. It’s actually more powerful than some 120mm fans I own 😂 and it looks clean and hidden. It works great for the backside of GPU’s. That small ROG ram fan will surprise you.😁

Thats because this is one of the last GPU’s that are not limited by power or voltages. It has full voltage control over the gpu, ram, and other rails like even the LLC. All of these benchmarks I ran last night are going to be the #1/100 scores for a 14900K/3090 combo or even #1/100 scores compared to a 14900K/3090Ti combos. So you’d want to compare that to #1/100 or at least #2/100 scores with a 14900K/4080 combo as well. Just for equal measurement of the 4080 gains then you will see a larger performance gap. Last but not least, I would not upgrade to a 4080, but a 4080 Super which is only $999 and a little faster. 😁 this makes it a much more reasonable transition.

I swear this thing gets faster and faster as time goes on with driver optimization alone. My current windows is a sludge fest! My 14900KF is totally stock. Besides an extreme ram OC.

I think it would offer a nice boost! First thing I’d do would be install water block, and flash the extreme 480 watt bios or whatever high power 500+ watt bios is available for the 4080 Super, next would be to overclock the new Super’s ram and core as far as it can go. I think 12-15% minimum can be pulled from one of these new GPU’s pretty easily. So in rasterization the 4080 Super will probably be 22-25% more powerful at least. And then with frame gen it’s gonna be about 45% faster I think. Not 4090 levels or even close, but definitely perfect for an Intel 14th gen. I don’t think I need full fledge 4090 power. I just want my own performance and frame gen really lol. I am excited for the Intel B980 too! That would be cool to have a Intel/Intel build 😂

@Mr. Fox You ended up selling those unicorn rams?

So, with my daily profile I get 6,600 in 3DMark Speedway. So, it’s about 10% slower (In this test at least) than a stock 4080FE. But, since the 4080 has Frame Gen that is a technology I just can’t possibly keep up with. Not to mention the 4080 can be squeezed some as well, and the 4080 Super being a little faster on top of that, and cheaper, then there is less power usage etc. I think it would be good enough improvement. I play games in 4K so I’m hoping it will at least compete with what I have (I’m sure It will), and offer some massive boosts with the frame gen tech. 😁

Time to retire the 3090KP! I work from home, and after 2.5 years averaging about 200 hours a month this thing has north of 6,000-7,000 hours run time on it easily 🤣 Im kinda amazed it hasn’t broken on me. Or maybe that’s not much usage at all. I’m not sure.

I think I’ll buy a 4080 Super for $999! If I can get my hands on one. I like some fast graphics memory. And I would not mind giving one a try to take advantage of the new DLSS features too. And for $1,000 bucks it is not that crazy.

Im just gonna stick with balanced or high performance power plan. Problem solved though. She is bad too! 8533c36-49 with a 262k tREFI with 1.350v IMC. 🥹(I have a 240-250 watt cpu power limit in place for safety during this test on a stock CPU) Now that I solved my problem, I can seriously start pushing it though. Or leave it be lol. 1.332v load IMC voltage 1.350v in bios 1.300v IVR tx

I’m just glad I found the problem. I have been like thinking something is seriously wrong here. It’s insane when you spend hours or even whole day(s) to stabilize peak performance ram profile and timings. And you finally got it done, and out of no where it’s no longer stable. What OS do you use?

You guys are not going to believe this. Okay, so since getting my 14900KF I have been dialing memory just about daily. I have always had the issue of maintaining that true ram stability after rebooting or powering off my PC, I could get something crazy lkike 8533c36-49 100% stable for hours of stability testing, turn PC off and back on and fail in minutes. Last night I finally discovered what the problem was. I was able to repeat the problem right then and there. Windows power plan (Dynamic Boost with Disabled Core parking) this power plan will error out TM5 in 27 seconds flat. Whereas High performance mode or even balanced mode work perfectly fine for however long. This is not an included power plan for any Windows. So just a heads up for anyone running Specter OS. I have been chasing my tail and causing my own problems for the longest time. My mind is literally blown right now. I would avoid the power plan below with 14th gen.

No kidding, it looks good. I may give it a try on my other bios switch. I always heard it was good. I’m still using 1501. I got this profile reboot stable, with fast boot enabled for the IMC. So, quick boot up, no training. And it’s stable at any given day/time of the week. That seems to be a difficult task with these c34/c36 profiles.

How is that bios 0071 on the APEX working out? I have never tried those my self.
