Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 Reviews

I can't tell what is shown in that page - all four results appear to say the memory clock is the same (2235MHz - is that right?). And no frame rate or power - so hard to compare with what you showed before...

But it's interesting that you're apparently reporting that performance appears to scale best with memory clock in what seemed like a compute-limited benchmark.
If you check the graphics card info memory clock speed is clearly displayed

Framerate is also shown, the score is basically based off of framerate.
 
this solution would be perfect for me in order to have a 4090 on my PC with a 550W Gold PSU.


Other than that, Seasonic PSUs are really good. A couple of years ago I got a Seasonic fanless 600W Platinum PSU with a 12 years warranty, and in a distant future computer I might use it for sure.

Always have had Seasonic or seasonic-build psu's, (FSP-group) not any of them failed on me.
 
IgorsLab has found that Nvidia's power adapter [that is packaged with all FE and AIB 4090 models] has problematic construction. That's the cause of melted connectors that are showing up on reddit these days. They recommend using cables made by PSU manufacturers until Nvidia fixes this mess.

 
Even situations where I wouldn't describe as "bent" seems problematic. I don't know if I'd even describe it as "slight lean".
 
Looks like the cable isn't being bent at all, no-one said there would be issues when everything sits straight - it's the bending that can cause issues and most cases force you to bend the cables pretty close to the plug.
Bending won't cause issues by itself, only in addition to a badly soldered wires which will break off and then either short or overheat because of smaller point of contact.

Basically it's not a connector issue.
 
Four 14 gauge wires soldered to tinfoil is a recipe for disaster, this was a totally avoidable issue and the people who designed/made that connector should be held accountable and if I had my way punished by being lashed severely with a wet noodle of shame!

They have big wires soldered to tinfoil inside the connector, it is most definitely a connector issue even if most connectors aren't affected.

It's a 4x8pin to 12pin adapter design and/or production issue. The connector itself is fine. Basically just avoid using the adapter included with this first wave of 4090s or make sure not to bend it too much near the plug if you're out of other options.

My bad, the adapter is an affront to my past life as an electrician. The connector itself is just fine. Also it doesn't really matter if you bend them or not on the ones they're talking about, they could fail without any bending or stress. Just the heat of going from fatty wires to little strip of metal to distribute the load is where the fail point is.
 
Maybe they should start using external power bricks with simple industrial plugs for these beasty products?
There would be problems with that too. Try googling running your GPU on a separate PSU, the load balancing can do bad things sometimes. Even I wasn't crazy enough to play with that.

I know about that, having done dual PSU setups when running H2O Cooling and SLI with dual CPU and all that jazz. I'd expect they would resolve that issue with some sort of Pci-Express Power Isolator plug etc.
 
I've got both CableMod and Corsair cables and have 0 issues the past 2 weeks I've been running this card. Never used the included adaptor though.

Out of curiosity, how far out would "35 mm" be in that picture from where the wire braid starts? [Google says that's about 1.38 inches]

Just about where the white plastic cable guide is, I just measured it.
