I'm always looking for an excuse to upgrade but it would have to be an insane increase in gaming performance to feel bad about having a 4090. Even then I still couldn't justify upgrading from a 4090. Of course it depends on what you're playing and at what resolution. I play on a 1440p 240Hz...

After reading this I'm glad I've stayed away from the Nvidia app. I liked some features of the GeForce Experience and used it for a long time but it did give me issues at times. With my newest build I decided to skip the GeForce Experience and the Nvidia app altogether and haven't missed it at all.

I haven't used one but just looking at these types of adapters seems like a bad idea to me. I have the white Corsair Premium 12VHPWR on my white Strix 4090 OC. With the angled adapters I'd be worried about any kind of "settling in" of the cables after awhile, allowing the connector to lean...

They claim to be up to 4K120, which we all know is only achieved on the boot screen.

The performance to price ratio is pretty good as everyone knows but i question some of these claims also. Benchmarks with my exact setup only achieved 5 to 20 more fps when switching from the 2080Ti to the 3080. This along with the software in the chart and not more information on actual gaming...

When I installed my 970 EVO three months ago it was running 3.0 x4 and speeds were as advertised and I never bothered to check again until last night I noticed in Samsung Magician it showed 3.0 x1 and speeds were ~900MB. I moved it from the bottom m.2 slot under the heat sink on my motherboard...
