Any happy 4080 owners here?

[Treeckcold57]

Will a decent 850w be enough? Or is that too risky? Corsair RM850x....for e.g.

Yes, should be fine. Corsair RM850x is a very good PSU for price. But make sure it's 2021 model, not 2018 model. Any good quality PSU will do and 850W is definitely at very minimum at least for 4090. But 4080 should be perfectly fine with either 750W or 650W PSU as long as it's quality psu, not cheap 750W PSU. I've used a Corsair HX850 for many years and worked fine with my old Vega 56 that is over 300W TDP card. Heck, 4080 don't use much power unlike my Vega 56. So I could imagine it would works with low wattage PSU like 650W. Again, just make sure it's a really good quality PSU. Never get any cheap PSU. I plan to undervolt my 13900K and 4090 eventually...just need to find the time to do it. haha.

I've been tempted by LG's C-series OLED HDTVs for a while now, but I've been concerned about the burn-in risks for something that's mostly going to be used as a giant computer monitor. That's the only thing really holding me back from OLED at the moment.

Honestly, I've had it for a year now, and never could be arsed to not have desktop icons or hide my taskbar. I don't see any burn in whatsoever.

I bought my FE open box for 1019 and I am very happy with it. Its pricy at 1200,but not outrageous by any means, imho. Everyone is free to disagree. My issue is that a narcissist (watch Jensons Taipei presentation this year for full confirmation) worth 26 BILLION USD is the sole decider of video cards for the working poor,and everyone else ,full stop. Jenson would rather destroy the PC Gaming market then lower prices 10 or 20% on cards, during the 1st few years of what is very clearly the start of a decade+ long Worldwide financial Depression,not a recession. His decisions also fully effect AMDs pricing decisions as well ,that's clear as day.

Video cards are a luxury, not a right. You can always buy lower on the stack, or older cards used.

P. S. You might be a little conceited too if you'd built a net worth of $26 billion.

I agree , you might, I still firmly believe the man is a narcissist pure and simple. Conceit does not begin to come within a lightyear of the behavior he has shown in the last few years,publicly; especially exhibited by Jenson at Computex 23. Your free to disagree. I am a longtime ( 2007 ) share holder, but strongly feel of late Jenson is a detriment to the companies face overall. He is extremely abrasive now. Still enjoying my 4080 FE.

LOL. He's taken Nvidia to the top of the heap and as a shareholder you think he's a detriment...cognitive dissonance at work.

Jensen is brilliant and he's why Nvidia is a trillion-dollar company.

Nah. He's a greedy jerk but AMD almost appears to be colluding - with their own high prices. Also, their tech. is up for debate. I've read some complaints that they are reusing previous tech. hardware (I assume they mean RDNA 2).

AMD could sell more cards if they'd lower the price. Ppl want a competitor to Nvidia but AMD is content to just sit in the weeds and sell the few cards they are selling at the higher prices.

 

[Skott]

Intel was working towards being a 3rd competitor but I wouldn't put it past them to do the same high pricing bullsh!t Nvidia and AMD are doing. Assuming they can get anything better than they have done out the door.

 

[Gideon]

Is 4k worth it ?

I would say no unless you have a very large screen your sitting close to, otherwise get a nice 1440p monitor and get yourself a decent video card and your good to roll for years vs having to chase gimmicks to get to get good frame rates. Plus if you like ray tracing and such it's much easier to get decent frames on a lower resolution. Under 30" inches I think you would be pressed to notice any difference, at least from what I have seen.

You're probably right. They are '3rd' right now - and I don't think their cards are priced all that competitively, right now, are they? They're not really expensive because they are not in the ball park of the flagship AMD or Nvidia cards. If they ever get there - are they going to be cheaper than AMD or Nvidia cards. I would not make a bet on that.

I agree and never said he didn't greatly help take the company to its heights ,but NVDA has tens of thousands of brilliant engineers ,Jenson is the face,little more at this point,a very bombastic tone deaf one. He doesn't design the chips,or make them. AI, I predict ,is just another dot com bubble about to happen. Humanity will sour on it very badly. Its driven heavily by greed and Malthusian multi billionaires,who do not have our best interests ,but our worst.

O11D XL - that's the largest version of that case, too, isn't it? I currently have a Phanteks P500A - it's black and I really wish I (saved up for) got a white case - but, the cases I like - G500A and Lancool III - also have a lot of room for large video cards. I think I'll have enough room/space. But, I see how the amount of space the card takes up - 3/3.5 slots or whatever it is - can be a problem or annoyance.

I'm glad that the card is quiet and there's no coil whine, though. The Zotac cards are usually the cheapest here - I've even found some ads for 2nd hand Zotac Trinity and AMP cards. So, it makes it easier if they're decent cards since the prices would be way more 'affordable' - if you can describe any 4080 that way...haha.

Yeah, it's the XL for a reason, though it's actually smaller than my old Corsair Obsidian 800D in every dimension except width. Much of that is likely due to not having 5.25" bays, so they can cut down the depth while still having plenty of room inside.

If anything, I'm kinda used to stonking huge full-towers, be it the aforementioned 800D, the totally-not-a-Lian-Li-PC-V2000 ABS Tagan Black Pearl that it replaced, or some of those truly tall monstrosities you'd find back in the AT form factor era when clock speed LCDs and turbo buttons were still expected.

Actually, microled burns down too . All self emissive techs do.

I suppose on a long enough timeline, burn-in is going to happen, but I should point out that CRT monitors from the FD Trinitron/Diamondtron NF era often didn't leave me staring at burned-in UI elements, even used ones.

If OLED and/or MicroLED can accomplish that for a solid decade, I'll be happy.

Honestly, I've had it for a year now, and never could be arsed to not have desktop icons or hide my taskbar. I don't see any burn in whatsoever.

And that's exactly what I'm looking for right there, enough peace of mind that I'm not seeing left-over taskbar or icons even when used extensively as a PC monitor, though I'd still have the sense to turn the ol' screen saver back on again.

Oh I definitely have a screen saver come on after I think its like 10 mins of inactivity and then the screen shuts off if still inactive.

But yeah, I like having desktop icons and the hiding taskbar is too much of a change from my normal habits, it felt like adding an extra step and I didn't like that, so it stays. I'll have to see if there is some sort of test or something to see if you have burn in, but just in my day to day of using the PC, gaming, streaming movies/tv I don't see any burn in at all.

Really my only complaint with the LG C1 is the auto dimming when you are on say a white Word doc, or web page and it auto dims the screen. This can apparently be solved by a service remote and changing that setting with it, so I need to look into that.

Just got an MSI Suprim X 4080. It's beautiful, and so far performance is fantastic. Nice aesthetics, too.

It's one of the few cards that has decent RBG on the side of the shroud. I always have the Lightning theme on or Twisted or Marquee.

Not even tried that yet Just been testing out some games. Cyberpunk 2077 maxxed with DLSS3 on quality is ridiculously beautiful. Even at 1440p.

*edit* Marquee is excellent

I enjoy my 4080 but I'm looking farther into the future and excited for the 6080 series so I can upgrade to a 5080. Just got to wait another 2 or 3 years.

Yes it does. But the MicroLED tech uses inorganic materials which means in theory that will have a much longer lifespan than the equivalent organic LED tech.

It's still far off from mainstream consumer use though. The Samsung Wall using MicroLEDs retails for a cool Half MILLION dollars. So if you're a Saudi Oil Prince by all means just buy it now.

The rest of us will use the available OLED tech which still looks gorgeous and is relatively affordable today.

Honestly, I've had it for a year now, and never could be arsed to not have desktop icons or hide my taskbar. I don't see any burn in whatsoever.

I use a free software called AutoHideDesktopIcons.

I can set a timer for how long the icons and taskbar appear. All I do is click anywhere on the desktop and the icons appearr then it autohides after the set timer goes off.

I set it to 5 seconds but if you need more time to hunt for your icons you can increase that timer easily to any amount you please.

What I really don't like is how Windows doesn't fully hide the white line on the taskbar when it hides and this app gets rid of that for me in addition to the icon hiding function.
