Why would you do this to him? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 na even vic is done with that madness, sli was the WORST. rumors are for pretty big gains for the 4000 series (even if it’s going to slurp power to do it) so this is of course a waste with that on the horizon probably later this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4090 Ti will retail for $8K and will deliver. It will also render Alan Wake at frame rates so high that players will immediately go blind.

The real savings comes at the point where your system becomes a perpetual motion machine. Rendering at 8K / 120+ fps, your system puts off a lot of heat. You use the exhaust to power micro windmills that generate power. You use that power to run your system. Then you take your house off the fucking grid and coast. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Vic20 Posted June 6, 2022 Author Share Posted June 6, 2022 Here's the thing. They actually have to release games to make the purchase worth it. I FULLY recognize that my history gives you little faith that I'll hold to this logic, but, we are living in a time of great delay and frankly I can run anything at 60FPS, and with a little tweaking most games run 100+ fps. So there is VERY little incentive to latch on to 10% more power. Additionally, SLI is dead. And, despite what the SLI community said, it kind had been dead for years before it officially died. I'm going to sit on my 3090 until I can get a 4090 and that's it. Then there is 8K. I'm not moving to 8K until 65" OLED panels are sub $4,000. I happy to pay 3500 for a high quality 8K OLED, as I see that as being very balanced pairing with the 5090's roll out in 2024. But who knows, that could be a money pox pandemic away! Point is, PC is in a valley of diminished returns right now. We are still a full 2 years away from a matured understanding and implementation of UE5 and rival next gen engines. 8K TVs are crazy expensive unless you are willing to get a non-OLED, and I'm not. So here I am, twiddling my thumbs, waiting for Dragon Age Dread Wolf to disappoint me in 2024 and dreaming of the next Elder Scrolls, which I assume will land in 2026. In the meanwhile, the only thing exciting is Direct Storage, which will start hitting games (Forspoken being the first) on PC this fall.

SLI has about zero support now and is really regulated to user-made profiles (if you can find any) and older games. It's meant more for custom workstation projects at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn’t want to run near capacity all the time, so probably more like 1600/2200? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair had DDR5 on sale the other day and I didn’t pounce since my previous attempts to get the FE were failures and I didn’t think paying up for the 12GB or other flavors of the 3080 had a good enough price / feature ratio.
