October 7, 20223 yr And the best reason for not buying a 4090... They are now listed on a local website here and this is the cheapest option (although showing sold out) for $2,823 incl tax !!!!!

October 7, 20223 yr A 13900KS at 6GHz with some really fast DDR5 and a 4090 might be my next build...I have a 1600W EVGA Platinum PSU still sitting new in the box (I picked it up at a deep discount bundled with a GPU some time ago), and I have several monster-sized cases (Coolermaster HAF-X/HAF-932) available, so the 4090's size shouldn't be a problem. That said, I'm happy to wait and see how the new generation of CPUs and GPUs shakes out in real performance. My 10900K and 3090 are still rockin' the sim quite well at 4K, so there's no rush.

I suppose that is true. I honestly haven't done much performance testing in game except to find airport specific issues. AMD 5800x | Nvidia 3080 (12gb) | 64gb ram

The supplier for the guy who's building it for me is receiving 200 RTX4090 units next week so getting one should not be a problem. We'll figure out the manufacturer when he gets the pricing. The other components are: 2 x SK hynix Platinum 2TB PCIe NVMe Gen4 M.2 SSD 2 x G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB Series 32GB Samsung 870 QVO 4TB MSI MAG Z690 Tomahawk Intel Core i9-12900K 5.2 GHz Unlocked Corsair RMx Series 1000 W Power Supply Fractal Design Meshify 2 Liquid CPU cooler Looking forward to getting it all assembled next week. Mike Gutierrez North Hollywood, California Hope to be doing the same soon... I'm also from the N. Hollywood area.

Same here. A friend of mine uses a "Flowbee". Combination mini shop-vac and hair clippers in one. 😁 I tried it, works pretty good. https://flowbee.com/

Just for sake of reference. Edited October 7, 20223 yr by Waldo Pepper
October 7, 20223 yr I drive my 3x1080P screens because that's all the 1080Ti can handle. They really are 4K 65" screens. Hopefully the 4090 will be able to drive them all at 4K at a reasonable frame rate, or frontal at 4K and side at 1080P.
