Gaming Nvidia debuts its new RTX 4 series cards

I mean, for example. Even running at 5120x1440p HDR with Gsync enabled the 3080ti and Ryzen 5800x lets me do Cyberpunk 2077 around 60fps average with DLSS enabled. I'm not a competative gamer so thats plenty for me. All my other games run at or above 100fps average, and some like iRacing will lock at 240fps and just hold there.
240fps for a racing game is NICE. 4ms frame times and that HUGE wide monitor make for an amazing experience.

Oh I agree. My 3090 rocks with my 3440x1440@160hz setup. But I want more. And was kicking around jumping to the 4k ultrawide but at 120/144. I can just every so slightly touch 120fps with max settings but no post processing or RT with warzone and all the cod MPs at true 4k ultrawide.. But I want to crank them and get the 160+ and let gsync to the rest. No DLSS bs. And setup correctly, there wont be any bottlenecking of the CPU.
If I press my 3090 hard enough with all settings maxed including RT but no DLSS, I can get the CPU usage of my 10850k down into single digit percentages. I watched several 4090 reviews today and they are saying it can bottleneck even a 12900k at 4k in some instances. I find that VERY hard to believe. There is no way you should be bottlenecking one of those using max settings in 4k. Hell that that point, raise the resolution scale in game or enable higher DSR resolutions if the nvidia control panel to push that GPU. I can bring my 3090 down to 50fps in COD19 MP by running it 5120x2160 with all settings maxed and RT enabled. Then from there I can raise the resolution scale to 200 and watch it turn into a 2fps slide show while the CPU sits at 2 percent utilization.
I'm still rocking a 1080 GTX, so I really need a new card. Can't really do 4K at any decent frame rate with this thing.
I had two in an SLI config, but one fried, so now I'm running at half power with games that support SLI. Unfortunately, most new games don't support SLI and apparently, it's a dead technology.
I've been trying to get a 3080, 3080 TI, or 3090 for years, but almost none were ever available. The few that were eventually available were marked up 4X the list price, so fuck that. Then when prices finally started to come down, the 4000 series cards were about to be released, so I figured I'd just suffer a little more with my 1080 GTX.
I'm ready for a 4090 at this point, assuming I can get one and assuming it's not marked up into the stratosphere.

Yesterday, I got an e-mail from Nvidia stating that you'd be able to order a 4090 from their site starting at 6:00 am PST.
This morning, I got another e-mail from Nvidia stating the cards were now available to order!
So, I go to the site and everything is listed as "Coming Soon". Still not available. Nvidia fail.
Checked out Microcenter and you can only purchase the cards in store. Another fail.
Newegg says they have them in stock, so I tried to buy three different ones with the same result. You can add it to your cart, but when you go to check out, it says they're out of stock. Fail.
So far this rollout looks like a repeat of the 3000 series release. Maybe worse.

Just checked Newegg and now they're showing one I tried to buy about an hour ago.
It was $1,599 back an hour ago and is now $2,556. They're marking shit up again.

Went to check and it's gone from the site. Either someone bought it or it was removed.
Nvidia cancels RTX 4080 12GB card
This was a good move IMO.

NVIDIA cancels the 12GB GeForce RTX 4080
NVIDIA is 'unlaunching' the 12GB GeForce RTX 4080 in recognition of the confusion the GPU caused.

Managed to score a Gigabyte RTX 4090. Totally lucky timing.
I found two for sale, but by the time I checked out, they were both sold and my order was cancelled.
Then, about 2 min later, one came back as available. Maybe someone cancelled their order?
I managed to get though the checkout process fast enough and it went through.
Got the card a week later. I guess I should feel lucky since these things are now going for $2,400 on the low end for a shitty Zotac, all the way up to almost $5K for something decent.
The card is fucking huge and I had trouble getting it into my giant, full size gaming tower case.
It came with an adjustable support bar that you must put on one end to prevent the card from sagging.
The thing is basically one giant heat sink and is probably almost twice the size of my old GTX 1080 card.
The placement of the power connector with the fanout power cable prevents me from putting the side cover back on my case since it would bend / stress the connection too much. I'll need to wait for someone to make an elbow connector before I can seal up the case again. Not a great design.
I tested it out with the game Control with all the graphics settings cranked up, but only at 1080p.
It ran perfectly smooth at 144 FPS to match my monitor's refresh rate.
It was showing 100% GPU utilization, which seemed odd at first, but on closer inspection, it was running at less than half its maximum clock speed and only drawing 34 watts at a temp of 44C max. Basically, the game Control with all the settings cranked didn't even phase it. For comparison, on my old GTX 1080, it would be running at only about 80 FPS with NO raytracing and at 72C.
It really needs a 4K monitor, which I will probably get since I now have a graphics card that makes it worth getting.

Control uses the fantastic Northlight engine and is a terrible test at 1080P since just about anything will run good frame rates at low resolutions. Even a 2080 is a waste at 1080p gaming. For 3000 series and above you really need a 1440p or 4K monitor to stretch its legs.
If you got a nice 4K OLED TV, you should try it there.
Remedy really needs to update Control so it supports HDR, it would look INCREDIBLE with HDR.
