Hi friends, thanks for watching! I'm looking forward to putting this beastly card to work! If you'd like to save some money and help me financially recover while you're at it, you can save up to 80% on rad graphic tees & more from INTO THE AM during their Black Friday sale, and save an ADDITIONAL 10% at bit.ly/INTOTHEAM-theASMRnerd
@@MartInIutherKlnG I upgraded from a 4770K to a Ryzen 5950X in 2020, just before my RTX 3080 upgrade. Now, with the 4090, I'm sometimes CPU-bottlenecked, but I also tend to run at 4K with everything cranked to the max, so in most cases I'm still GPU-limited.
Congratulations on finishing your PhD! I remember watching your 2016 video where you prepared soil samples while discussing your research. I think it would be cool to do a video discussing your PhD.
honestly, that was the perfect example of how to make a product placement! Open and straight forward - appreciate it! (talking about the clothing brand in the beginning, not Nvidia btw)
Love soft t-shirts and I've been meaning to update my old worn out ones. But it's also hard for me to drop cash on more expensive shirts. Been wanting to try Into the AM ever since you first started raving about them, and finally bit the bullet with this sale. Looking forward to trying them out. Thanks for the 10% off!
I've been waiting for this video since you posted about the power supply upgrade a little while back! To say I'm jealous is quite the understatement! I just pulled the trigger on the new (ish) LG C2 42" OLED TV to prepare myself for a much-needed GPU upgrade in the near future. Guess I'll have to start saving up now for that 4090 myself lol 😅
@@saintallison Awesome! I absolutely love mine! The 42" size is perfect for my desk, and the deep black levels and pixel response time are certainly beyond any monitor I've ever used. Gaming has been a blast on it with my 3080 Ti, but I can't imagine how phenomenal a 4090 would be to enable me to really push all my games to the absolute limit. Since I run everything maxed out in 4K, I still don't maintain a stable 60fps (let alone being able to take advantage of the OLED's 120fps) in more demanding titles even with my 3080 Ti, so a GPU upgrade in the near future is definitely something I'm looking forward to!
Considering the 4090’s performance, honestly the price isn’t that insane. This is definitely out of reach for most gamers yeah, but it’s also the highest end card on the market. Most gamers are still playing at 1080p and can max out AAA games with way cheaper/older cards
This might sound odd, but could you please make a playlist with your pre-stream videos? I find them very relaxing and nice to listen to the background. 🙂
Congrats on the card, i also bought one last week. It's an absolutely beast! I personally bought an aftermarket Corsair cable to replace the adapter that it comes with, as the standard adapter is just silly and bulky.
I just got a 4070 with a 12 pin.. I am bit nervous, I really hope it is because they weren't plugged in all the way. Which is odd, I really doubt people have forgotten how to plug in power cables.
I can see you started raking in the big ASMR money 😁😉 Good video and enjoy the 4090! I got an RX 6900 XT in August as it was discounted in the UK and I thought that card was very big. Boy, I was so wrong. The 4090 is such a massive chungus 😁
It's kind of an unbelievable card. Usually there's some kind of tradeoff or compromise, but the 4090 just...does everything, quietly, without a single issue so far. Honestly amaszing.
At about @25:00 I really hope that magic upscaling you're thinking of there is a reference to the demonstration they had of Morrowind - If so, I too am very curious to see how that works. It looked amazing.
Just ordered one of these -- is it still treating you well? Any issues with coil whine? And if so, did they subside after a few days of use? Thank you!
No issues to speak of other than a bit of lingering coil whine at very high FPS. I rarely notice it though, and I generally game with headphones, at which point it's inaudible. Overall I've been extremely happy with it!
I have a asus gtx 1060 its good for its price becouce i can play minecraft at 60 fps with shaders (but they don't work propely) so i would want to buy a rtx if i would afford it
I have my 4090 and I love it. The feeling of knowing I can play any game I want maxed out at 4K is glorious. Witcher 3 netx-gen coming soon. Going to be awesome to play again after 7 years. Updated graphics and I can crank it to the max. 😁🤩
You ALMOST had me going for a second there, but deep inside I knew it couldn't be true 😂 I bet it was an AMAZING show, last time I saw them was in Vancouver with Katatonia, probably...8 years ago?? Too long!

Be careful with the cablemod adapter, nvidia are reportedly saying that using 3rd party cables/attachments voids the warranty. I would just use it and deny it tbh.
I'm honestly not sure what the 3080 market looks like right now, but the 10GB model launched with an MSRP of $700, so I'd think that with the crypto crash you could probably hope to find one around that price? I'd do some research before pulling the trigger, though.
Honestly you earned this GPU and deserve to splurge after finally getting your PhD. I'm excited to see it put to use in future videos! Just one of those things where you buy once cry once regarding the price. This card should last you no less then 5-6 years if not even longer because i dont see GPUs getting much powerful or needing a reason to be beyond this one at the moment. Video games are not fully up to par taking advantage of what a card like this can offer
@chrisd6736 I know right!!?? its seems alot but literally a couple weeks or months later they released an even more juiced up and expensive graphics card that exceeds most of the performance capabilities of games released nowadays
I totally understand what you were going for with this purchase, my only issue is that you knew that the new AMD cards were going to come out, and they were going to be pretty much as close as one can be to these cards as you can get for like $500 less. So I personally would have waited for that, because the thing about AMD that Nvidia will never have is that they sync up with the AMD CPUs to boost their performance by 30%, and in the current generation especially that extra 30% is enough to put it well over the top of the 4090. The other thing is the melting connectors, there's no nice way to put that other than to say if you're paying $1600 for a card, there's no reason in the world why there's even a 0.1% chance that it will melt.
@@tactrix1h are you talking about smart access memory? Cause my reading seemed to suggest zen 3 architecture and 500 series mobo. Or is the boost something different?
@@tactrix1h I guess I didn't realize am5 had come out. When I said latest I meant buying the best in the last couple years. I have a 400 series and don't have access to SAM.
SAM (Smart Access Memory) basically does the same thing as NVIDIA’s Resizable BAR. It isn’t like AMD GPUs have access to a technology that NVIDIA doesn’t have an equivalent of. It’s hard to say since they aren’t released yet, but I highly doubt that even the upcoming flagship RX 7900 XTX will be able to go toe to toe with a 4090, let alone surpass it. It’s more positioned to trade blows with the 4080, which is notably weaker than the 4090 anyway (and a much worse value). Aside from that, NVIDIA’s Ray Tracing performance in their 40 series is still far superior to even that of AMD’s RT performance claims for the upcoming RDNA 3 cards. While AMD will be undoubtedly providing excellent value with RDNA 3, for the ultimate performance a 4090 is still going to be the king.
Sorry, do you mean the ads RUclips runs? Or the sponsored integration I do in the video? If it's the RUclips ads, those should only show up at the very start of the video, not during or afterwards. I specifically turn off those ones so they don't wake people up.
Congratulations on the PhD Nick, that's an absolute gamer W! Just about to finish my bachelors and move into my masters. Regarding the 4090, I see you're preparing for the Wicther 3 next gen update 🤣🤣

Be careful with the cablemod adapter, nvidia are reportedly saying that using 3rd party cables/attachments voids the warranty.
I would just use it and deny it tbh.
Honestly, the stock adapter seems to be working well so far, so...I might just keep using that 🤷♂️
U would think it’s just drawing too much power and they under sized the wires.
I'm waiting for a cable fix.
That's fair! Mine's been okay so far, but the worry is always in the back of my mind...
I'm still running a 1070 ti. Holds up surprisingly well. (no ray tracing but oh well)

Great purchase! What do you think is a reasonable price for a 3070-3080? I am looking into one, but don’t want to overpay.
600-700 is good for 380 3070 is like 500
