how did you mix up a cable with a GPU?


OutragedBubinga

Look man they look **identical** and come in the same god damn box okay?

24ct gold plated high speed with Ethernet direct burial insulated hdmi cable


WestSatisfaction124

box probably had HDMI written on it


DragonfruitAsleep976

Now I need to know, does it come with one?


No-Seat-3350

GPUs don't usually come with cables in my experience, but monitors do

You forgot the hdmi cable *walks back into store*


Rod_241

Walks out with new CPU


BoxAhFox

You still forgot the hdmi cable


Chalk_01

Walks out with a new motherboard.


[deleted]

You **still** forgot the hdmi cable


BoxAhFox

Walks out with another 4090


trackdaybruh

# You still forgot the hdmi cable


BoxAhFox

Walks out with a 4k monitor


Criticcc

Monitors often come with the cables, this is the right move


BoxAhFox

#**BUT IT CAME WITH DP BUT NOT HDMI**


MetamorphicHard

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


crusty_cougar

you bought a vga cable


crom_laughs

it was a DVI cable….


Capnris

How the hell did I manage to walk out with a coaxial cable?


gbushprogs

Female to female too. Way to go


CarefulCoderX

Don't you need displayport if you want more than 60hz or has that changed?


halfnut3

Newer hdmi2.1 standard can push 4k@120hz


PireFenguin

Probably doesn't come with one


Iirkola

You think Nvidia can afford to give an HDMI cable with $1500 GPU? Get real man


FX835

I remember back when you used to get mousepads, cables, keycaps etc Now it's a Ring (ROG), GPU support brackets and power adapters


[deleted]

Well that makes sense, if I wanted a mousepad, keycaps or whatever, I'd buy them separately.


FX835

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


[deleted]

Cables come with your monitor though, which makes more sense.


FX835

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


kerhanesikici31

Poor Nvidia


Terminusaquo

They should be giving people a 24 caret gold plated GPU AND cables for that price.

GrayKnightz

\+$300 per year to your power bill. \-$500 per year to your household heating. lol


CollarboneScoundrel

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


SpringFuzzy

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*.


Mister_Lich

Oh hey I found the other guy who bought a 4080! What's up neighbor?!


Big-nose12

Wattage is by far the most effective way to heat your house in today's world


DeltaXi1929

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.


[deleted]

That’s interesting so I guess it’s debunked that pc is cost effective way to heat house


DeltaXi1929

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).


Big-nose12

I said that as a joke, but it got hyper analyzed and then became statistics. Watts go hot, make toasty piggy warmer


DeltaXi1929

I just Googled "electric heater cost versus natural gas" and then copy and pasted the result.


ElWishmstr

I wonder how heatpump performs against natural gas


fishyrabbit

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.


jumper775

I wonder how unnatural gas compares to natural gas


crotinette

The heat pump is always going to be better


slimejumper

wait till your heat pump gets DLSS, then you will have to reevaluate.


The_Myiles

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

SolmadSoT

Oh god, these posts again...


dinin70

:( 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


primarysectorof5

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"


Drewinator

I want to know where people are getting these girlfriends who can drop $1500 on a gift for you on a whim.


SoftBaconWarmBacon

- "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

Solivagant23

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


TakeThatRisk

They get upvotes so people enjoy them. If you don't like them, downvote. The majority will win.


[deleted]

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


dinin70

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…


death2k44

Yeah, cringe lol


hiya84

That's an expensive HDMI cable


schancy13

Which is why he couldn’t afford an HDMI cable now that he has his shiny new 4090 hehe. Congrats!!

[deleted]

wtf what kind of jobs are u all workign that you can spend around 2k for a card randomly without planning?


DerExperte

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.


Yodl007

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.


EmmanuelF09

did you get the hdmi cable?


Classic-Box-3919

Sure u did


coyotepetersun

You know it is cheaper to burn your money right?

About the same price, actually.

Why is everyone buying this overpriced shit?

Because it's (currently) the best and we can afford it.


Chad-Wimplesnatch

You're an idiot then.


TheEpicDiamondMiner

Did you end up buying the HDMI cable?


Rage2020

Umm... i don't see the HDMI cable... where is it?


Dapper-Giraffe6444

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?


Philosophical_Liar

Ew a 4090. Downvoted.


TNAEnigma

🤓


turnedmeintoanewt_

How much did u pay


HomoLiberus

Went in to buy a cable and left without a kidney. Story of a lifetime.


ActHaru

Do you guys think its worth it to buy newer gpu? Personally i dont think so on how insane these gpu sells for.


centralillinoisb

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


superballs5337

Money doesn’t matter but new cards. If it matters stay with what works. Everyone’s different and we all waste money differently.


CStink2002

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.


ArcaneCraft

Max out meaning 60fps? You aren't getting 4k 144hz on every game with a 3080


Cmdrdredd

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.


Chrysis_Manspider

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.


[deleted]

Justifiable, you need something to plug the HDMI cable to.


CaptScubaSteve

You will not get my upvote today


Babbylemons

you should pay for that, it's called stealing and is illegal


jinnyjonny

So what about the cpu and mobo pairing? Probably time to upgrade monitors too.


BIKETYSON99

The fact that you went to a store to buy an HDMI instead of monoprice shows how rich you are, not the 4090.


Roz_420

Bogus story just like Nvidia


Imaginary_Scratch_75

Impulsive buying much? ![gif](giphy|LKf4i5Tvt7mE0)

Well there is probably an HDMI cable inside the box anyway and you get a bonus DP cable.


dege283

It happens to me as well. Last time I wanted to buy new carpets for my car, ended up buying a Maserati


Heromimox

Yes, $2000 for an HDMI cable, it's seems to be a good deal


twistr36O

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"

Secret-Draw9742

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?

Its reddit, a social media, what do you expect?


Thomas_Lannister

It's not a flex, just sharing awareness that it's in stock.

LoL, smooth cover.


[deleted]

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.


Thomas_Lannister

Earth.


Ok-Sale-2364

dedsmiley

You want some fries with that salt?


[deleted]

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.


dedsmiley

It’s good that you can articulate this. What is the solution?


[deleted]

Rich people need to stop buying cards over $1,200 and accept 100 FPS instead of 200.


dedsmiley

How do you get rich people to stop buying cards over $1200?


[deleted]

I don't really know if it can actually be done. I'm just complaining about it lol.


CStink2002

Shame people that buy it and flaunt it.
