sorted bySurprisingly, the FE model is still available after a week of coming into stock. Normally it sells out fast. I guess anyone who wanted a 4090 and could afford it have already bought one.
Runs 100+ degrees but great in the winter
Got 6 for my full tower case
I’m tempted to pay HALF of this deal and get a 7900XT at this point just to give AMD a sale then go back to Nvidia if and when things get more sensible.
Thoughts?
If you are going to spend £1.5k on a GPU and then play 5+ year old games (or much more) you've always played, likely it'll be a huge waste of money.
If, however, you have a high refresh rate 4k monitor and play new games / do work based productivity, sure, that's a perfectly reasonable case for this level of card.
The AMD card you've mentioned is perfectly capable in everything but 4k high frames RT. Does that feature on your wish list?
Kind of wish I'd waited for the cheaper FE, but the gigabyte seems good.
Fans only spin at over 60°, so on some games they don't even need to start up, though they're silent when they do.
Apparently the Gigabyte cards don't have coil whine, no issue here. Heard a lot of bad things about Asus and MSI on that subject.
Main problem I had with the GPU is that my RAM is no longer stable on its XMP or with any overclocking, so have to run my DDR5 6000mhz at 4800mhz to boot the PC.
Not an issue for gaming, but not ideal. Will have to try some different ram sticks. (edited)

First review is interesting esp. as I really don’t want to have to replace my Sea-sonic 850 psu.
“At 70% power limit uses the same power as a 4080, whilst performing virtually the same as a stock 4090 (70% pw limit never went above 313W, cannot recommend this simple tweak enough).“ (edited)
NVidia GPUs are all DP 1.4 max. This means they can only do up to 4k120hz. Despite calling themselves future proof this means there’s no 240hz display output unlike the latest AMD and Intel GPUs. Obviously another part of NVidias planned obsolescence.
The connector supplied with these to work with standard PSUs is pretty bad and you’ll need to spend further money lol to get something from cable mod.
If somebody is happy to spend £1.5k on a GPU they should buy a compatible PSU as well. I know not everybody will, but they should. As you say, the supplied adapter is poor but so are the cable mod adapters. The only 'safe' way is to use a compatible PSU and the supplied cable that comes with the PSU.
I don't think anybody should spend this much on a GPU, it encourages Nvidia/AMD to keep releasing overpriced cards. Top of the line cards used to be less than £500. Adjust that for inflation and that's where they should be... Not £1000-£1600
