My feelings are that NVME 5.0 is about as relevantly useful as PCIE x16 5.0. ie Not. The only difference for me (and why I prioritize PCIE x16 5.0) is that over the lifespan of the motherboard there is a realistic chance that I upgrade the video card 2 to 3 generations from now (5-6 years)

Going to tag on here since its right in the wheelhouse of a question I had.... Is there a consensus as to which kit would be better (both EXPO kits from G.SKILL).... 64GB CL32-38-38-96 or 64GB CL30-40-40-96

Ideally a FE, but realistically I am looking at either a Gigabyte Windforce or an MSI Suprim X which have much better (but not good) availability.

Just start socking away $50 a month...:p

By and large, no. There may be an application or two that benefits from the massive cache but they would be few and far between. In fact, in general these processors will very likely trail the non 3D parts, just like last gen, for productivity apps.

i have to ask... why do you want a 4080 class card for 1080P?

guessing you’re in Europe? 4090’s are non-existant in Canada and not much better in the USA and it’s rather frustrating.

A little disappointed if I am being honest. Was hoping/expecting it would distinguish itself by pulling a little further away from the 4080 and more firmly entrenching itself between the 4080 and 4090 in raster. As it stands its basically 4080 tier raster (faster in a couple of outliers...

Cheaper and better is a thing of the past my friend. Pick one.

haha dont look at the new unreal engine 5.1 benchmarks... fortnite bringing a 4090 to 60fps... (granted it looks amazing)

Kind of mind boggling how this game can eat a 4090. As a prospective buyer of a 4090 i kind of now find myself stepping back and maybe considering a cheaper/stop gap card if UE5 games are going to make me want a faster(?!!) gpu in a couple of years. Or maybe the problem is I shouldnt buy a 4K...

Just supply and abiliy to resupply. Neither amd nor nvidia have a strong track record of this over the last few years obviously…

Wonder if the AIB's are going to muck this product launch up. AIB Card costs out of China are putting the XTX within a few hundred of 4090's. Which would be a complete non-starter if that holds true here in NA. If a 7900XTX is going to cost me $250 to $300 under a 4090, I'm just going to get...

Short answer: No Slightly longer answer: https://www.dough.tech/pages/spectrum-monitors but not sure if they are actually shipping product yet and the company has a bit of a history with regards to failed promises, constant and significant delays etc.
