I assume the FE waterblocks will fit this one.

Dang. I already bought the Expert though. It’ll be here tomorrow. It looks kinda nice man.

I woke up late at 9:14AM lol. Best Buy inventory was already gone, Newegg was loaded up, and I took forever deciding which one. Then they started dropping like flies after trying to check out with some of them. So I got a MSI 4080 Super Expert, it’s like a FE model. I just feel bad I got scalped for an extra $149.99 by MSI/Newegg.

Does not count. Totally worth it!!!. 🤣 But I know what you mean, spending 4090 money on a CPU with a retail value of about $500ish 🫠. I'm the worst of the worst when it comes to performance per dollar. On another note, I have not been that interested in super high-end GPUs lately. There is no tuning aspect like CPU and DDR5. I love CPU and memory overclocking more than GPU's. Just going to grab a 4080 Super and enjoy a new GPU and features. Hey its 01/31/2024!! Thats 4080 Super launch day. IM READY! For $999 it's not a bad deal. I miss the days when a xx80 series GPU was $649.99 though!!! However, back when that was a thing, I was too young and poor to afford that lol 🤣

Those comparisons are kinda bad, hopefully we’ll see some better ones soon. 😂 the first tell tell sign it looks like the old 4080 is faster in one or equal to in others to the new 4080 Super. The RTX4080 Super isn’t really anything special or mean’t to be much faster than a 4080 to begin with I guess though, the biggest thing is it’s $200 cheaper. But not just that, they have the fastest GDDR6X available today, and better silicon than standard 4080’s. 😁 I’m gonna guess and say they will overclock really well with new improved GDDR6X, and better manufacturing process. The RTX4080 Super will essentially offer 65% to 70% of a RTX4090 for almost half the cost of a RTX4090. I say “Almost half” because I haven’t found a RTX4090 for any less than $1800 USD. Thats a pretty good bargain! With current market though we’re forced to take the cut and pay $999 for a 2/3rd RTX4090 🤣 The used RTX4090 market is literally MSRP +20% on top. So really, the 4070Ti Super and even 4080 Super are strong values in comparison. Even the worst and most expensive 4070Ti Super, the “Asus ROG STRIX 4070Ti Super” is probably the worst value at $949.99, however it’s still about half the performance and 43% the cost of a Strix ROG 4090, so then again it’s not necessarily the worst purchase in the world.

I sold my 3090 Kingpin just a few minutes ago 🥲. I’m really just wanting to try something new. And something more efficient. No going back now. I’ve got to grab a 4080 Super, or 4090 either way. I will say this though. I game pretty casually lately. So a 4080 super would be good I think. I really can’t afford a 4090. I have a limited budget of about $1200 ish dollars for a new GPU.

You guys do not think the 4080 Super is a worthy upgrade? Should I wait until RTX5080? Lol

Do you have (2) 4090’s? You were planning on replacing one with a 4080 Super? I hope the 4080 Super is about 18-20% faster than the 4070Ti Super. It should be.

Im wondering why the RTX4080 Super FE clocks higher with less peak power consumption than the standard RTX4080 FE. Nvidia must have improved their manufacturing process some? The 4070Ti Super STRIX is a poor value. Funny thing is, I was actually considering buying one if only for a millisecond, and realizing how large of a mistake that would have been. But it’s the false feel of “Luck” or “Opportunity “ you feel when you see these actually in-stock and available for normal pricing. It’s this silly GPU market has conditioned us to feel like poor value is acceptable I think. Those seem to clock the highest, I wonder if ASUS has improved the Strix cards any? Don’t think the 4080 Super Strix is worth the premium price? Inventory levels will probably be good for 01/31, so I might just have a chance at selecting between a few good models.

The card is like 30%+ faster in practically anything than a stock out of the box RTX3090FE from launch day lol. Sometimes a little more than that even. It made it a great long term option. But I am cheating with every advantage, 10 gallons of a constant 15C coolant temp year round, I run (5) D5 pumps with crazy water pressure, and the GPU has full voltage control in its favor with binned core and memory IC’s.

I’m gonna wait for the 4080 Super and buy it! It will offer at least equivalent or better performance in 4K (I hope, it will lol🤞) my 3090KP does have 1KW power limit and huge bandwidth at 23,500gbps GDDR6X so it’s a really a killer in 4K. But the 4080 Super is a little faster and has new frame gen features so it’s gonna offer a nice up tick in performance at half the power consumption. 😎 Whether I sell my current GPU or not, I’m still gonna grab the 4080 Super. I would splurge and get a 4090, but I’m in the process of buying a brand new house (First time buying a home, we’re excited 😆 ) and me and my wife are saving money like crazy. I haven’t bought a new GPU in over 2.5+ years though. So no worries there. I am excited about the 4080 Super though. @Talon I am going to water cool it right away (Within a week) and squeeze it for all it has performance wise🤣. I bought a 2080 Super around launch day, and I really enjoyed it. Especially the new faster ram they incorporated. I only considered a 4070 Ti Super because something new to play with water cool it etc lolz

Okay. I think you’re right. I really like MSI. And I was eyeing this bad boy lol. And I saw it’s in stock already so it kinda got to thinking is all. It looks nice. Inventory is LOOKING GOOD THOUGH!!! Nice to see we can actually buy stuff. https://www.newegg.com/msi-geforce-rtx-4070-ti-super-rtx-4070-ti-super-16g-gaming-x-trio-white/p/N82E16814137859

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.😁
