Its impressive like Console performance is impressive.
Closed systems performance per transistor should always outperform open systems.
I like being able to do all my power flow analysis, gaming, and modding on my PC. Highly targeted specialization is for robots and insects. I like being a human, thank you very much.

I've never purchased the top-tier card from any generation. Having almost always gone with whatever the '80 (980,1080, 3080, etc), but I'm 95% sure I'm going to buy a 4090.

Its the only one worth it , if you actually need that power. Gaming at 4k or other software. The others below it feel like they are just afterthoughts, named higher to charge more. Its fucking greedy as fuck, the inflated pricing and what they did with the 4080 and below, but I can at least give them credit for the power behind the 4090.

Im pretty much in the same thought process. Not only was I disgusted with the possible power draw, but the sheer size of that thing is monstrous and then trying to find a way to support it properly? Ill wait for next gen.

Just because you screw something on one side does not mean the other is somehow supported. Especially with a 2-3 ft length or howerver long this fucking thing is. Go and screw a 2 ft board to your wall on one end and put some shit on it and see how long it all stays there on that diving board.

my biggest concerns would be
(1) in 1-2 years the size/heat would show up in problems that aren't obvious now, like warping, thermal paste issues, etc. This card is far beyond what we've seen in the past in pushing the envelope.
(2) i would feel retarded if a 4070ti that is fairly close in performance and half the size/TDP comes out in a year for much cheaper. I can't think of anything I am going to play in the next 12 months that needs this performance, but then again i'm more enjoying my steam deck which is lower than a 1080. Vampire Survivors or N64 games don't need a 4090.

I'll probably wait for the Water blocks on the 4090.. have my 3080 already water cooled and it seems that the 4090's actual PCB is about the same size. Just the problem is all the heat the fucking thing has too get rid of cause it can pull a whole power supply, by its self..
And also I would wait for the ATX 3.0 supply's coming out, that squid dongle seems like problems just waiting too happen..

This is how I feel on both points. I look at the thing and it makes a great case for just water cooling your video card. Having done my own custom loop I feel like you don't really need it for CPU's as much these days (though delidding new Ryzen chips seems like a great idea) but it makes a huge difference on GPU's.

Yeah I'm only talking about FE cards, most of the partner cards look like fucking jokes.
