that's the theory where I live. Say, if the MSRP is 900€, then the actual price in stores is going to be around 1100€ 'cos of the VAT.
On another note, GTA V running at 4K, 8K, and 16K
on the 4090.

"with great power comes great power consumption"
New drivers for the GeForce RTX 4090 also eliminate the DX12 bottleneck of the GeForce 3000 series - so our launch test is right | igor´sLAB
I have been asked by some readers why our test results from the launch review were better for the GeForce 3000 series cards, especially in WQHD, than on quite a few other sites. Others…

I feel like costs will be a much bigger issue for next gen consoles than power consumption.
You can still get a sizeable performance gain inside the same wattage, you'll just need a bigger chip (and this includes a possible system-of-chiplets with several processing dies too).

usualy we have 6-8x jump in performance in consoles generation so for sure not two, but having this performacne in 2022 when nextgen will be around 2027 is impressive
Two console generations is 12-14 years. This definitely isn’t two console generations or even a single one.
The PS6 is likely 5 years away at the earliest and that’s two generations worth of gpus at least. An RTX 6060 Ti could realistically come close to a 4090.
By then it should only cost a paltry 1000$!
Can it? Best question ever that classic one. That being said, Crysis once again holds a record, 505W of power consumption.We can also run Crysis. Barelly

Unless Nvidia gets spanked by AMD by that time, or consumers seriously wise up, then probably yes
I did some small experiments overclocking my 4090 (it's a Gigabyte Gaming OC version, BIOS set at OC).
It's default OC setting is not very high, boost clock @ 2535MHz. In normal workloads I observed that its actual GPU clock max @ ~2720MHz.
I use Cyberpunk 2077 1.6 with all settings to the max (RT Psycho) 4K DLSS Quality and the built-in benchmark. I use this game because my CPU is a 5800X and it's obviously CPU limited in many situation. Cyberpunk 2077 seems to be most likely to be less CPU limited. The settings are also what I intend to play the game with (though I'm also looking forward to the "overdrive" mode).
The tool I used for adjust OC settings is MSI Afterburner 4.6.5 beta 2.
I tried four OC settings:
- No OC (factory default): 69.38 fps
- Voltage +100, Power 110%, OC Scanner (curve): 70.72 fps (+1.9%)
- Voltage +100, Power 110%, Core +125MHz, Memory +200MHz): 70.98 fps (+2.3%)
- Voltage +100, Power 110%, Core +150MHz, Memory +1000MHz): 71.70 fps (+3.3%)
I didn't try to increase power more as I only have a 850W PSU, but from the numbers I guess it's not going to be much higher anyway, as the clock is already near 3000MHz when running the benchmarks.

Efficiency graph clearly shows that 4090 is already overclocked out of its optimal power/clock point so yeah, further OC will likely give little in terms of added performance.
Has anyone “reviewed” the overdrive mode yet? Seems like it might actually bring visible improvements.
- Nvidia RTX Direct Illumination (RTXDI)gives each neon sign, street lamp, car headlight, LED billboard and TV accurate ray-traced lighting and shadows, bathing objects, walls, passing cars and pedestrians in accurate colored lighting.
- Ray-traced indirect lighting and reflections now bounce multiple times, compared to the previous solution’s single bounce. The result is even more accurate, realistic and immersive global illumination, reflections, and self-reflections
- Ray-traced reflections are now rendered at full resolution, further improving their quality
- Improved, more physically-based lighting removes the need for any other occlusion techniques
It's not available yet to anyone outside of CDPR and Nv I think.

Presumably it will arrive with 1.7, which could be several months out.
