Yep, it looks like 4080 Super will get closer to 4090 performance (screw those 4090 buyers that paid +$400 in price premium). Looks like Nvidia prefer the Super branding over Ti. And 3080Ti vs 3090 performance was quite close. Hence they need the 4090 Super to be able to sell xx90 cards. In the end... Maybe the better custom 4090 Super AIC cards will land around 2300$. Some maybe even 2400$. Its amusing you have to pay 66% more for maybe 20% higher performance (4090 Super vs 4080 Super) so nothing new here. Both SKUs got one price tier up from previous gen cards. The Super cards should never have existed and the new 4090 Super should have been branded Titan.

@VasudevMaybe add this video in OP post. Der8auer Rants About Misleading W/mK Marketing (Thermal Conductivity)

What rubs me hard the wrong way.... I haven't seen many melted cables/adapters from the OEM or the pigtail cables from the 4090 package the last months (one or two cases I think the last 5 weeks). Remember etc CableMod have sold around 55.000 units. But 4090 more likely sold in the 300-500.000 cards now. And the nvidia 12VHPWR connectors is mostly soldered on all 4000 series cards. So well over 1 mill cards is already sold. So see it this way... CableMods new modern adapers go into the whole stack of the different 4000 series cards. Not only for the 4090s. Many want them due design/and because they have small cute PC boxes (you can't even lock the chassis door due the space the 12VHPWR cable need). And be you sure.... If many of the OEM cables or the Nvidia pigtail mess melting/burn up... We would have seen it on etc Reddit. And you don't find them there only the CableMods adapters that melt up in fire and smoke. Yep, not everyone will tell about their burned up cards on forums/social media, but we should at least have seen some cases if it was a major problem also with the OEM cables/pigtail box adapters. More of same messed up from todays tech world.... This is only rumors... Now its the xx90 cards turn to get the price hike the lower end SKUs got when they launced. 25% up for 10% higher performance. Of course Nvidia won't increase the prices for the other Super SKUs. They just price the top end SKU up $400. Then 8 months later we will get 5090, same as for the 3090Ti. https://www.pcgamesn.com/nvidia/rtx-4000-super-leaked-specs Edit. Forgot. Congrats with the new screen bro @tps3443 🙂

HaHa. So Cablemod have now made the new fire-adapter avaiable for their Store? Could be a better choice if they have improved their QC on newest products. See bolded text. I think I'll stick with the PSU manufacturers own 12VHPWR cable. And they are pretty enough for me. And with a big black box you shouldn't be afraid for the bending cable requirements. Yep, isn't it nice with a big PC chassis?😀 With a small box you risk have to buy those new modern toy adapters to be able to connect the power cables to your nice new GPU. Yep, I'll stick to the best from both worlds😁

Where is the quality control? This is todays normal.... QC issues = CableMod and AMD. I wonder how many got melted connectors/too high voltage drop due bad quality/or their QC issues. A seemingly nice looking adapter can have inbuilt issues that willl pop up and bite you later. Not sure whats best between immediate fire or getting a ticking bomb. What you prefer bro @electrosoft?😎 Ticking bomb, so you can have a nice looking adaper in your pc box a few months forwards? Issues with 40 Series Card disconnecting and Angled Adapter (GPU Disconnects) We both have found that removing the angled adapter helped us und we both are going a few days without the issue, usually it would happen more then once in 3 hours.

Dell Australia found guilty in federal court of deceptive sales practices Ordered to refund monitor purchases, with other possible penalties to follow The company also said that it is considering refunding customers "with interest" to make up for its blunder and is taking measures regarding its pricing procedures to ensure that the mistake doesn't happen again. Dell said a pricing mistake on the website was to blame, which was its defense when the ACCC filed its lawsuit last November.

Sum up: Finally had some time check after reviews. The little 750W SFX I bought in the used market a few weekes ago is quite good. And works perfectly as second PSU for powering more internal peripherals and my older GPUs when the HOF is disconnected from the black box. Happy with the purchase. Everyone should buy a big enough big box. Highly recommended😀 Cooler Master V750 SFX Gold Power Supply Review Performance As this is a small factor power supply, there will always be some limitations if you directly compare it to standard full-sized (standard) models. Put simply, there’s only so much performance you can cram in a space as small as this. Despite that fact, however, Cooler Master has still done a really remarkably job here. Not only did this pretty much easily handle all of the tests we threw at it, but in many instances, it did remarkably better than it had any expectation to. The clear highlights come in the fact that this nearly achieves a platinum efficiency level, and providing some of the lowest ripple results we have seen from a small factor design, Cooler Master has packed a lot of punch in this small package!

And don't update. See bolded text below. Newer doesn't always mean better. Btw. Did you test out some claims... They got back Cpu performance with Nvidia's latest drivers. But I doub't that being real for the Cpu.

Isn't it cute. It seems Igorslab editors/employees avoid commenting on the ongoing smoke with the HW they have tested from CableMod (gave their thumbs up for the buyers on the fence). Even Igor Wallossek avoid the 90 degree smoke Hell topic as cancer. That understandable, but not very adviced if he still want some credibility. Igor Wallossek also avoid commenting in his own created review thread for the 90 degrees adaper. Oh'well, not nice if your advices pans out into smoke and disaster for some. When you meet yourself in the door..... 12VHPWR 180° adapter melted tight! igorslab/forum

Thats great. Rounded corners is probably one of the worst I see with the new and shiny. I really really hate it. A such minor difference to the better is major if I want Win 11 or not on my PC. And I don't want to test out new Win 11 versions before I see a real improvement. No point in spend time with it now. GTX 580 - 3DM 05. Got a few more points 🙂 https://hwbot.org/submission/5289230_papusan_3dmark05_geforce_gtx_580_86217_marks?recalculate=true

Nice write up bro Fox. I have seen people enjoy the Ghost Spectre custom OS. And many get bad results. Those that can make it run better have probably done some changes. I hate the rounded corners.... You have it probaly. But here it is Win11DisableOrRestoreRoundedCorners.exe

See the bolded text below in my older posts below..... Then compare with the video title... Spot on... The Worst New Trend in PC Hardware

This one is for my old friend @electrosoftwho hate the whining sound ringing in his (small and cute?) ears. You're welcome my friend🙂 https://www.computerbase.de/2023-06/spulenfiepen-was-tun-wenn-geforce-rtx-4000-und-radeon-rx-7000-fiepen/

Will Asus do as Gigabyte and make revisions number for the "new" Strix cards so people can avoid buying their old cards that struggle with coil whine? Or will this also be one extra part in the lottery when you buy their Asus Strix cards? See it this way.... You can loose in the silicon lotter, vram lottery and now the coil whine lottery. I wonder how many will win in all 3😎 My best guess... Nope. Asus don't want loads of RMA cases due people try feed +1.5v to the GPU cores.

GTX 980Ti - 3DM 2001 https://hwbot.org/submission/5287966_papusan_3dmark2001_se_geforce_gtx_980_ti_214790_marks

Yep, because the highest boost clocks they want massive premium. https://hwbot.org/submission/5287902_papusan_3dmark03_geforce_gtx_980_ti_332710_marks?recalculate=true Thats a grea price and a nice PSU. Close to 250$ on Evga. But out of stock https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=220-P3-1000-X1

Here as well. Most of the new 850W PSUs haven't enough 8pin connectors to power up 7900 series AMD graphics cards. What a failure. You need buy their top end models if you want to go with the new and shiny AMD graphics cards. Isn't that cute? bro @Mr. Fox😀 You go with AMD because they offer the cheapest new graphics cards but you have to buy the more expensive PSUs to power them up, LOOL How dificult was it to use the head? You need 3 power connectors for the CPU/MB and 3 for the new AMD cards. And yet, the overpaid enginners couldn't do the math and see this. Blinded by own talent?😕 @ryanwhat is a genius? Some sorts of stupidity? ENERMAX Brings New PSUs and AIO Liquid Coolers to Computex 2023 Seasonic Shows ATX 3.0 and PCIe Gen5 PSUs, MagFlow Fans, and Goes Industrial at Computex 2023

Put it this way. Asus said they have saved up the best chips for the coming collector model +2500$ Asus 4090 Matrix cards (AIO). In short... The Strix is in the lottery and the low end models get the worst chips. So the best chance to get what to expect is in the low end 🙂

Two in a row. This one on top looks quite bad. I would avoid use the 90/180 degrees adapters. Almost all reports of smoke and fire the last month is with those custom adaters. I don't see burned custom/vanilla 12VHPWR cables anymore. A real waste of money if you think such adapter will reduce the chance for fire due because it offer minimum bending of cables. And the aesthetics (form over function) won't be as hoped once the smoke have run out. Save your money and rather buy a PSU specific cable adapter from the PSU manufacturer😎 12VHPWR 180 Degree Angled Adapter Melted. 90 degree adapter melted In short... The CableMod custom adaper is a ticking bomb in same way as the AMD server chips😀 AMDS Epic moment.... AMD's EPYC Rome Chips Crash After 1,044 Days of Uptime

Isn't that better than none of the chips being binned?😎 GTX 980Ti - Hwbot Ungine Heaven https://hwbot.org/submission/5287282_papusan_unigine_heaven___basic_geforce_gtx_980_ti_11968.46_dx9_marks

Regarding binning... I think people get it wrong. They bin "out the worst chips" for the better models. They don't bin for the best chips. Thats a major difference.

Yep, the shrinkind trend continue. This time Gigabyte. Or shall we rather say cost cuttings to increase profits. I have my doubt this new change from Gigabyte will offer same cooling as the older model. Skinny and thinner design usually come at a costs. This trend have we seen from Apple. And this won't bring any benefits. Maybe for those with the mini PC boxes that will run even hotter now with graphics cards that is adopted for the box design. Making graphics cards that fits the smallest PC boxes will never be a good thing @Mr. Fox Is smaller better? Why not shrink it further and make it a real 2 slots design? Nvidia allows up to above 80C so that don't stop them from more stupid design solutions. Gigabyte Shrinks Cooler, Relocates 16-Pin Connector on Revised RTX 4090 Gigabyte (via Twitter user Vectral) has quietly revised the brand's GeForce RTX 4090 WindForce 24G graphics card. The V2 model features a more compact design, with the 16-pin power connector transplanted to the rear of the graphics card instead of the side placement. Why use the space for more cooling? More metal and longer heat pipes will only increease costs. In short what Gigabut say... Less metal and shorter heat pipes don't make worse cooling capacity... Why not remove even more of the metal and use even shorther heatpipes? They can even save more $$$.... And modern VC cost more. So why spend more money than needed for the cooling?

Yep, you get normally less old connectors and you get the tiny nvidia connector even on the PSU box side. Both is worse solutions than the old ATX 2.0. You get of course more 8pin connectors on the best high end ATX 3.0 PSUs but many of the so called mid end (now high end) 1000-1350W PSUs barely offer many of those good old solid connectors. Remember you only need 2x 8pin connectors to power the 12VHPWR connection on modern nvidia graphics cards if the PSU is of decent quality. Look at this mess below(same pict as in my older post). If you buy the new AMD AIC 7900XTX cards you can't even use the new and modern 1350W PSUs that cost an arm and a leg. You'll lack one power connector for the 6/8pin connector for the Asus MB. Red box for the GPUs and red cross for the CPU power. The rest is connectors for Sata etc. And those ain't meant to power PCIe 6pin. 5 CPU/PCIe connectors on new modern PSUs is a Joke. You don't need any of the new modern ATX 3.0 PSUs as long nvidia don't require the PCIe 5 connector glued on the PSU shroud. Doesn't matter what GPU brand you go with. Best of both worlds 🙂 The Boat - GTX 980Ti https://hwbot.org/submission/5286632_papusan_3dmark06_geforce_gtx_980_ti_87900_marks?recalculate=true https://hwbot.org/submission/5286583_papusan_3dmark03_geforce_gtx_980_ti_328868_marks?recalculate=true

Even AI can't save or change Microsoft. They feed the data with stupidity. Windows update installs old AMD drivers Software today 14:28 The latest Windows 11 update is giving a lot of users with AMD graphics cards a real headache

Yep, this is very needed. If they can't compete in raw performance, then compete on price. They could win everything up to 4070 performance and destroy for Nvidia and AMD in mid tier segment. If Nvidia and AMD was forced to reduce prices on mid range this would also drip on high end. Below is the status for mid 2023. Tragic! Not much gain vs two years old graphics cards. Only more expensive. RTX 4060 Ti review roundup depicts GPU performing 12% better vs RTX 3060 Ti but failing to offer any performance/price advantage In other words, the 4060 Ti is essentially a US$399 RTX 3070 when it comes to rasterization and ray tracing performance at FHD resolution. RX 7600 review roundup demonstrates disappointing performance/price vs RX 6600 despite RDNA 3 GPU performing 27% better 3DCenter has now published their launch review roundup of the RX 7600 allowing us to confirm that the RX 7600 indeed offers no price/performance benefit over the RX 6600. The new and modern will easly stop Intel from offering GPUs with 4x 8-pin power connectors. All too many will have the modern PSUs that don't support it. See etc this one.... You have zero 8 pins connectors after you connected the few 8-pins to powering up your Cpu/MB. Nice, with new and modern. You can't even power up your old or almost new graphics cards.
