Tips on actually getting a 4090?

Kinda sounds like the 4090 is memory bandwidth bottlenecked, eh?

It sure seems like it... give that GPU faster access to memory and it sure seems to use it.

Maybe a little late, but Nowinstock.net has a listing of what's in stock for the 4090's (Plus other things) Been seeing quite a few in stock the last few days on Newegg and some on Amazon.

So does anyone even OC these things? I just got like 36K+ TS score without OC'ing, changing power limit or even touching a fan profile... lol

Yeah, at stock, this thing is running cooler and pulling way less power than my 3090 was. On TS Extreme, power was maxing out around 460W roughly, default power limit of 480W on my card.

I tried +1000Mhz memory, +200Mhz core, and 520W power limit, it was hitting 3080Mhz core, but craped itself on the 2nd run, so not stable that high for me sadly.

Seeing as every game I play at 4K right now is double the frames easy, not sure I even care to try again until I get bored one day... lol. It seems to be on par score wise even with people who OCed theirs, so im happy.

Try 105% power target, +150 core, +1500 ram.
Or 100% power target, +140 core, +1500 ram.

These are stable on mine.
I tried 133% power target but even +175 core wasn't stable. 133% power target added 0.9% performance (timespy extreme total score) over 105% power target with the same +150 core, +1500 ram. Haven't tried higher on the ram. 105% is the sweet spot for highest performance.

For reference, I was able to get core stable at 3030Mhz, memory at +1350Mhz with a Power Target of 108% (Max on the Suprim X vBios). My issue was there was conflicting control of my video card fans, once i fixed that, I was gold! Still not the best memory OC possible as i did not win that lottery, but very happy with the core speed.

The Gigabyte gaming OC has been in stock for over an hour at Best Buy at least in my area. I really wanted the founders edition but after several months I don't feel like waiting anymore so I went ahead and ordered the Gigabyte.

I've been enjoying mine for months now. I'm happy with it.

Anyone found a way to totally disable the Gigabyte LCD screen without covering it? Every time I reboot it's back on, just with a blank screen.
