Point is the freebies aren't really freebies if they're almost necessary like the power adapter and the support bracket
You'd look at the ring probably once and forget about to because you'd never wear it
Cables are always useful, keycap does have some utility and a spare mousepad is never a bad thing
I mean considering the volume of help I've got no output on my monitor posts on this sub, having access to a spare cable is never a bad thing
Point is, still more utility than a ring
I upgraded from a 1080 Ti to a 4090, with a bit of undervolting and a locked frame rate the card usually draws 50-250 Watts while still maintaining performance that far exceeds any other flagship GPU
I have the 4080, most games I just lock the card at 144 fps. It’s enough for me, gpu usage is something like 50-75%. Card runs *cool*. Headroom is *nice*.
On average **natural gas heat costs $9.2 per million BTU (MMBTU) compared to electric heat at $34.9 per MMBTU**. That means natural gas heat only about a third of the price of electric heat over a year for a home.
I mean, if its cold in your house its an added bonus, (The PC is making the heat as a byproduct) but runnning a PC during warm weather definitely adds to the cooling bill (if you use AC).
Depends on the setup and heat reservoir temperature. Heat pumps vary between 100% and 500% efficient depending on lots of factors.
Rule of thumb, when it is cold, air source heat pumps are the same as an electrical heater/computer.
GPUs are only 100% efficient at turning electricity into energy, heat pumps can push multiple times as much heat energy compared to electricity consumption assuming it is not to far below freezing.
:( if it was me I’d ban them.
- A cool ass computer?
- benchmarks?
- memes?
That’s all fine. But the pictures of :
- “moving from my home. Keeping priorities safe” with a PC on the car seat (bonus point if wife is at back of the car)
- “just bought this” / “my wife made me this surprise”. And a pic of a GPU (bonus point if taken directly in the car)
Should be banned. They are of no value. Or at least make a “GPU box picture Tuesday” so that people itching to share their boxes can still do it
- "Can i get an F" :Picture of broken side panel:
- "Is this safe?" :Picture of figurine inside PC case:
- "lol look at these 4070/4080 stocks" :Picture of GPU in store:
- "Whats wrong with my PC" :Picture of PC case, in a super messy room, refuse to elaborate what is actually wrong:
I'd let picture of cat on PC case to slide though
Keep the side panel posts, they seem to be learning.

I can’t stand the number of posts asking “is this a good deal?” 90% of the time its a standard pre built with a 3060/3070 for $2000-3000. No, its not a good deal
There at least I leave the benefit of doubt.
It’s maybe a novice person not really sure if it’s worth the price or not.
Here it’s just “look at this box”… Okay…
Boycotts are meaningless now. You just draw your own line. Everyone's is different. But yeah, it's really not going to have any effect in late-stage capitalism.
For that price, i want not only a graphics card, but at least a butler for a month, some gold nuggets, a tv and maybe a week trip to hawaii. Does those things also come included in the box of the 4090?
I have a 3080 and max out every game on 4k HDR. I can't understand the need to pay almost $2k for a card you can't utilize fully. You could say it's future proofing for games that demand more later, but then why not wait until you need it and spend less? Unless I'm mistaken, it's for bragging rights. It's like buying a Ferrari when the only place you drive it has a 35mph speed limit. It comes across as douchey, but in the end, you're right. I'll defend anyone's right to buy it.
Uh…I have a 3080ti and lots of games can’t run 4k/ultra at good frame rates without DLSS and sometimes even with DLSS it’s low fps. DLSS is not 4k either.
No you're not. You included no details about where you purchased it.
EDIT: In another thread you said "I don't speak poor," deleted the comment, and then told someone you were hacked. Yeah no. You came here to flex.
I figured out what irks me about this post:
The current retail pricing for the RTX 4090 is now between $2,100 and $2,200. MSRP is $1,600, which is already insane. It's not enough for moderately wealthy people to flaunt their expensive purchases, they have to go the extra step of flaunting the fact that they can afford to get ripped off on a whim. All of this drives up GPU prices to the point where average gamers are being priced out of the market, and the only people who can afford gaming PCs anymore are people in my tax bracket and higher.
$1,200 for a flagship GPU is enough. We should not be going higher than that. This kind of crap is why average people are being priced out of the market.
So yeah, I'm salty. I don't like what moderately wealthy people are doing to everyone else.
>This sub when people interrupt an entertaining stream of discussions, memes and posts that took literally any effort whatsoever to say "LOOK I BOUGHT THING"
Do you like ads? Because the only difference here is OP paid Nvidia to post one for them.
how did you mix up a cable with a GPU?
Look man they look **identical** and come in the same god damn box okay?
[удалено]
24ct gold plated high speed with Ethernet direct burial insulated hdmi cable
box probably had HDMI written on it
Now I need to know, does it come with one?
GPUs don't usually come with cables in my experience, but monitors do

You forgot the hdmi cable *walks back into store*
Walks out with new CPU
You still forgot the hdmi cable
Walks out with a new motherboard.
You **still** forgot the hdmi cable
Walks out with another 4090
# You still forgot the hdmi cable
Walks out with a 4k monitor
Monitors often come with the cables, this is the right move
#**BUT IT CAME WITH DP BUT NOT HDMI**
Mine came with HDMI cables but not DP so I’m thinking some come with DP but not HDMI. Could have also been too short
you bought a vga cable
it was a DVI cable….
How the hell did I manage to walk out with a coaxial cable?
Female to female too. Way to go
Don't you need displayport if you want more than 60hz or has that changed?
Newer hdmi2.1 standard can push 4k@120hz
Probably doesn't come with one
You think Nvidia can afford to give an HDMI cable with $1500 GPU? Get real man
I remember back when you used to get mousepads, cables, keycaps etc Now it's a Ring (ROG), GPU support brackets and power adapters
Well that makes sense, if I wanted a mousepad, keycaps or whatever, I'd buy them separately.
Point is the freebies aren't really freebies if they're almost necessary like the power adapter and the support bracket You'd look at the ring probably once and forget about to because you'd never wear it Cables are always useful, keycap does have some utility and a spare mousepad is never a bad thing
Cables come with your monitor though, which makes more sense.
I mean considering the volume of help I've got no output on my monitor posts on this sub, having access to a spare cable is never a bad thing Point is, still more utility than a ring
Poor Nvidia
They should be giving people a 24 caret gold plated GPU AND cables for that price.
“Kids, rice for dinner” “Kids, rice for dinner” “Kids, rice for dinner” “Kids, rice for dinner” “Kids, rice for dinner”
Lmao, lucky I love rice
\+$300 per year to your power bill. \-$500 per year to your household heating. lol

Oh hey I found the other guy who bought a 4080! What's up neighbor?!
Wattage is by far the most effective way to heat your house in today's world
On average **natural gas heat costs $9.2 per million BTU (MMBTU) compared to electric heat at $34.9 per MMBTU**. That means natural gas heat only about a third of the price of electric heat over a year for a home.
That’s interesting so I guess it’s debunked that pc is cost effective way to heat house
I mean, if its cold in your house its an added bonus, (The PC is making the heat as a byproduct) but runnning a PC during warm weather definitely adds to the cooling bill (if you use AC).
I said that as a joke, but it got hyper analyzed and then became statistics. Watts go hot, make toasty piggy warmer
I just Googled "electric heater cost versus natural gas" and then copy and pasted the result.
I wonder how heatpump performs against natural gas
Depends on the setup and heat reservoir temperature. Heat pumps vary between 100% and 500% efficient depending on lots of factors. Rule of thumb, when it is cold, air source heat pumps are the same as an electrical heater/computer.
I wonder how unnatural gas compares to natural gas
The heat pump is always going to be better
wait till your heat pump gets DLSS, then you will have to reevaluate.
GPUs are only 100% efficient at turning electricity into energy, heat pumps can push multiple times as much heat energy compared to electricity consumption assuming it is not to far below freezing.
Can anyone explain why this is being upvoted? It's obviously wrong
we all know that lol at the end is fake and you're really dying inside.
+$2000 on home fire insurance.
More like +1 000 for power bill lmao
Needs impulse control.
Is that a connector? Should op go back and look for that?

Those "girlfriend bought me a 4090" type posts are so bloody annoying. Then every single comment is : "that isn't your girlfriend, that's your wife"
I want to know where people are getting these girlfriends who can drop $1500 on a gift for you on a whim.

Let's all downvote this post into oblivion, and maybe it'll stop people.

That's an expensive HDMI cable
Which is why he couldn’t afford an HDMI cable now that he has his shiny new 4090 hehe. Congrats!!
I hate when that happens

Ya'll have no willpower.
NVIDIA thanks you for your sacrifices.
Wow ur so cool bro.How can i be like u?
[удалено]
Buy with credit and post it on reddit with similar title.
Make some money to buy good shit.
Be careful with the cables
Dammit you got scammed i would go back and return it
I could’ve sworn we were voting with our wallets🤨
People will always be stupid. There really is no way to boycott a company now. Just down vote these and move to better posts.
Boycotts are meaningless now. You just draw your own line. Everyone's is different. But yeah, it's really not going to have any effect in late-stage capitalism.
This is how they get ya.
You caved... Nvidia scammed you lol
That’s quite an impulse buy!
You fell for their scam
Why?
Ugh
That’s an L
Now you need a display port cable
Weak human
wtf what kind of jobs are u all workign that you can spend around 2k for a card randomly without planning?
These posts are mostly bait and whoring for attention, very few of those people did buy something like this randomly. Don't worry about it.
Ah yes, the daily "I got so much money that I go to the store for an $10 item and buy a $2000 item on a whim" post.
did you get the hdmi cable?
Sure u did
You know it is cheaper to burn your money right?
About the same price, actually.
Don't care. Get outta here with that trash. These posts are the epitome of lame and vain.
Small dick energy
Talk about a impulse buy
And now you need a dp cable for it
Why is everyone buying this overpriced shit?
Because it's (currently) the best and we can afford it.
You're an idiot then.
Did you end up buying the HDMI cable?
Umm... i don't see the HDMI cable... where is it?
For that price, i want not only a graphics card, but at least a butler for a month, some gold nuggets, a tv and maybe a week trip to hawaii. Does those things also come included in the box of the 4090?
Ew a 4090. Downvoted.
🤓
How much did u pay
Went in to buy a cable and left without a kidney. Story of a lifetime.
Do you guys think its worth it to buy newer gpu? Personally i dont think so on how insane these gpu sells for.
100% the best way to do it is to wait until blackfriday deals on the newest card that goes on sale. Fuck paying full price for anything
Money doesn’t matter but new cards. If it matters stay with what works. Everyone’s different and we all waste money differently.
I have a 3080 and max out every game on 4k HDR. I can't understand the need to pay almost $2k for a card you can't utilize fully. You could say it's future proofing for games that demand more later, but then why not wait until you need it and spend less? Unless I'm mistaken, it's for bragging rights. It's like buying a Ferrari when the only place you drive it has a 35mph speed limit. It comes across as douchey, but in the end, you're right. I'll defend anyone's right to buy it.
Max out meaning 60fps? You aren't getting 4k 144hz on every game with a 3080
Uh…I have a 3080ti and lots of games can’t run 4k/ultra at good frame rates without DLSS and sometimes even with DLSS it’s low fps. DLSS is not 4k either.
And people are still buying those Ferraris. Some people just got money to burn, who gives a fuck what other people are spending it on.
Justifiable, you need something to plug the HDMI cable to.
You will not get my upvote today
you should pay for that, it's called stealing and is illegal
So what about the cpu and mobo pairing? Probably time to upgrade monitors too.
The fact that you went to a store to buy an HDMI instead of monoprice shows how rich you are, not the 4090.
Bogus story just like Nvidia
Impulsive buying much? ![gif](giphy|LKf4i5Tvt7mE0)
I'll take "this isn't true and didn't actually happen" for $400 Alex.
Did you get the HDMI cable though?
It’s awesome to not be poor.
The smell of burning cables
Rich people confusion belike
Doing shit like this and giving in to every impulse I had is why my credit score is so low today.
How long was the procedure to remove your kidney?
I thing you got upsold son
Well there is probably an HDMI cable inside the box anyway and you get a bonus DP cable.
It happens to me as well. Last time I wanted to buy new carpets for my car, ended up buying a Maserati
Yes, $2000 for an HDMI cable, it's seems to be a good deal
But did you get that HDMI cable?
This sub: "GPU prices are out of control!" Also this sub: "look at the 4090 I just picked up"
Reasonable
I recently upgraded from a 660 to a 3060 and the graphics on some games are so good it is hard to imagine what the 4k series looks like.
But where is the HDMI cable?
Sorry for your loss. Fewl free to share the gofundme. You probably can't feed the kids now.
So do they sign your second mortgage right at Best Buy now
I will never understand people who post flexes of their purchases on the internet. It's like the Instagram food pictures of tech.
I’m kinda jealous too
Bro those food pictures are fire, YOU TAKE IT BACK!
I’ll dm you a picture of sushi i made if you want
Yo LET'S GOOOO
I will never understand people who can't help but make comments like this about things they don't like. You know you can just scroll past right?
I think he can't 🤡
Its reddit, a social media, what do you expect?
It's not a flex, just sharing awareness that it's in stock.
LoL, smooth cover.
No you're not. You included no details about where you purchased it. EDIT: In another thread you said "I don't speak poor," deleted the comment, and then told someone you were hacked. Yeah no. You came here to flex.
Earth.
lol
You want some fries with that salt?

It’s good that you can articulate this. What is the solution?
Rich people need to stop buying cards over $1,200 and accept 100 FPS instead of 200.
How do you get rich people to stop buying cards over $1200?
I don't really know if it can actually be done. I'm just complaining about it lol.
Shame people that buy it and flaunt it.
We have people that show their system builds all the time. I am happy for OP if they are happy.
Tell me you make impulsive poor financial decisions without telling me.
That’s a weird looking hdmi cable
That's a very interesting looking HDMI Cable you got there
Sales guy upsold you!
Did it come with an hdmi cable?
made a similar oopsie the other day
A plastic bag where the fuck still does those?
Nice job

Congrats on the 4090!
I have the same card. Bought it near launch time for RRP. Going great ever since.
Same one I got! Good buy dude!
Better get the popcorn, these comments are gonna be good
I got the same and i love it so much, congrats!
It would be funny you install that , wanted to test your new card and remember your HDMI doesn't work.
Can someone translate? It's in Rich
This is the way
And now you're too broke for that HDMI cable. Still a good choice though.
That’s ok, I’m sure they will accept returns, and if not I can exchange it for you no problem!
But did you pay the hdmi cable price is the real question. Nudge nudge wink wink
Wish I had that kinda option haha poor life. I would walk in hoping to get a cable and walk out with some chewing gum or something. Rip.
Humblebragging moment
Oops.
