Whe the case was opened, the 4090 was connected through a adapter by two 8pin PCIE only.

Wanna ask you guys, can the 2x 8pin PCIE provide enough power for RTX 4090?

RTX 4070 TI super or wait

yshiuan — Tue, 31 Dec 2024 10:29:37 +0800

I've built a new rig, now only left the GPU. I saw on Shopee that rtx4070ti super is less than 4k after discount, it's cheaper than 7900xt.

Now I'm in a dilemma, should I wait for the announcement of rtx5070ti or just close my eyes and grab the 4070ti super?

Currently I'm looking at Mi TV P1 55" and A2 58", with cost below 2k.
Now i have another model in mind which is TCL C635 55".

My usage is mainly movies and youtube. Will play games as well if the tv is not occupied

Will accept other model as well if the cost is less than rm3000
