Product Manuals

Q: Why doesn't Best Buy do in person purchases only, 1 card per person. You're literally catering to bots and scalpers and have been since 2020. You're so pathetic BB.

A: they actually seem to be the only company doing something to combat scalpers. the last drop they had i believe was on 10/19/22 you were put in a que to buy the product and you were only allowed to ship to store and pick it up in person

Q: Are these cards even real? At this point I dont think they actually exist. Its either that or best buy is just hording them.

A: I'm pretty sure it's a marketing trick to increase the value and status and demand of these GPUs. They aren't actually high demand. How many people spend that much money on GPUs? 3 out of 10 people that want an upgrade. Cause these are for enthusiasts, no average gamer would pay more than 500 for a computer part. So the "high demand" is either created by the scalpers, or the factory only makes a few of these little by little to create this problem. They benefit cause their cards become more popular.. So to answer the question, WAY more of these exist in scalper stocks than inside actual computers from gamers. The scalpers use this as a business. It's like the mafia. They go buy every card that exists from anywhere to make sure that people HAVE to get them from them so they can make easy quick money... It's sad

Q: Anyone know how to get a bot so I can purchase a card? Im done with waiting in line just to lose to a bot.

A: You can enter nvidia's priority program that allows you to have nvidia reserve one for you and nvidia will ship it directly to your house. Then you won't have to deal with this horrible shop called best buy because it is not best buy, it should be worst buy.

Q: Definitely tired of trying to get an actual GPU from Best Buy. Went to my Toledo store they said they never got a single one. How is that? I get online at exactly 9am and they were already sold out? 4090 Hype train scalper endorsing company.

A: Nvidia is actually doing a pre-verification process that you are selected if you run Geforce Experience and you have a certain GPU generation. Once you get pre-verified, then you will get a custom link to Best Buy to see if there are any stock available. I actually just received my pre-verification from Nvidia and just got done ordering my 4090 FE from Best Buy about an hour ago. They still have stock and they are actively fighting s GPU scalping.

Q: How often they go into stock

A: Never

Q: Why doesn't a simple waiting list exist for high demand items? I have tried all morning to buy a $1600 gpu. They come up . Add to cart to only find out the gpu is not available at my store. Scalpers are winning.

A: All morning? Ive been trying all month. Totally sick of this considering i have $1700~ for this jags and all i see is scalper bs pricing, which i refuse to particpate in. #Salty

Q: Why is BestBuy not managing sales of this better? 1 per person, pre-orders, only in stores? By selling only through bots to scalpers, BestBuy is creating a PR nightmare. I spend a LOT of money each year on electronics - it won't be from BB in the future.

A: Same issue this morning. Its the bots reminding us that we are not worth of this purchase.

Q: when are these going to be available to actually purchase ? I use GeForce don't get any invites yet, is there another drop date SOON where itll be available? this is getting ridiculous

A: It is all a big joke!! We mean nothing to all these distributers!! Let the big wheels get the cards first so they can sell them for even higher price. We sit around and wait 2 years and still get screwed!!!

Absolute 4K High Refresh Gaming Monster!!!
I typically buy the latest and greatest PC hardware as soon as it’s released and having done this for awhile, I’m not easily impressed. But the RTX 4090 Founders Edition has me in awe as one of the best generational upgrades ever seen in the PC gaming space. There’s a lot of reasons for this which I’ll cover below, but let’s start by saying this GPU is only going to show significant improvement over a 3080 or 3090 at 4K and high refresh rates above 60Hz. I’m gaming on a 3840x1600p 144Hz Ultrawide monitor so even in some games I’m not getting as big of a % gain compared to 4K. One of the biggest upgrades on the 4090 is the GPU chip itself is being made on TSMC 4nm instead of Samsung 8nm, which is at least a 2 process node improvement. We saw what 6nm did for AMD GPUs allowing them to hit clock speeds over 2.5GHz while Ampere was stuck around 2GHz again. So expectations were high from a clock speed improvement and that certainly is the case with the 4090 able to hit clock speed around 3GHz!!! The change to TSMC and node shrink also allowed improved efficiency which even caught Nvidia off guard as the rumors of 600-900W power consumption were probably based off of Samsung expectations. This also explains the massively over-engineered block coolers you see from Nvidia partners that are not only very long but also 4 slots wide. The 4090FE is actually shorter in length than the 3090FE but it is 3 slots wide instead of the 2.5 slots on the 3090. It is also a little taller (closer to the case) so make sure you have enough room in your case. The good news is the length is much shorter than any other partner designs which allows me to keep using my same case. As mentioned the beefed up cooling and improved efficiency allows the 4090FE to actually run cooler and quieter than the 3090FE even though it can be “unlocked” to use up to 600W of power or 133% of its official TBP of 450W. You can do this by enabling in an OC software like MSI Afterburner and increasing power limit and voltage along with clock speeds if you are OK with overclocking. Also you must have 4x8-pin power connectors at 150W each to enable the 600W power limit, only 3 connectors will limit you to 450W as there is a component in the adapter that detects how many 8-pin adapters are connected. More on the adapter later. So yeah this is an extremely impressive GPU that offers sometimes double the performance for me having a 3090FE. The difference isn’t as big as with the 3090Ti as that was around 15% faster so it eats into some of those gains. If the 3090 was the first true 4K/60 GPU, then the 4090 is definitely the first true 4K/100+ high refresh GPU. It’s truly amazing and just chews through all games at max settings and even maintains high FPS with demanding Ray Tracing effects due to the upgraded RT cores. Now onto some concerns and news headlines: 1. The 12VHPWR connector has some issues with potentially catching fire and apparently there are 2 issues, a cheaper quality cable rated for 150V vs 300V and more recently, the adapter not fully being inserted into the GPU 16-pin connector, causing resistance and extra current to flow through other wires and causing the burning. Make sure to seat your GPU adapter fully!!! The cable adapter is kind of ugly and also comes straight off at a 90 from the GPU, the old method angled at 45 degrees was a better design on the 3090. I plan to get a better quality cable from my PSU maker or cablemod when they become available. 2. Yes, these GPUs are still hard to get even though there is no crypto market to compete with. Part of this is because it seems like the only “real upgrade” in the 40 series lineup and it didn’t come with the crazy markup compared to the 4080. For those getting antsy I would just wait it out and see how the 4080 launch turns out and also see what AMD’s 7900 series turns out in a few weeks. I was very lucky and got an invite through GeForce Experience a few days after launch so I was able to get one about a week after launch. 3. The GPU is very expensive, which is true, but if you’re not on a 4K at 100+ FPS or doing some advanced computing you really don’t need this GPU anyways. But that isn’t expensive nowadays??? 30 series prices are falling and 2nd hand units are going for amazing prices so take advantage of those while you can if you don’t need the latest and greatest, especially when you know the 4080 and 4070Ti are kinda meh in terms of price and performance it’ll be awhile before 40 series prices make sense, if at all. So that’s it in a nutshell, it’s one of the most impressive upgrades I’ve ever seen from an Nvidia flagship and a GPU I could be happy with for a few generations if I really wanted to. Ah who am I kidding, I’m going to want the next 50 series flagship when it launches too!!! PS: I think if you’re willing to wait, a cut down 20GB 320-bit AD102 chip sold as 4080Ti for $1000 or so will be the GPU darling of this generation. Just don’t know how long it’ll take for us to see it, if at all.

Great 4k graphics card.
Easily runs call of duty modern warfare 2 at 4k ultra around 130fps. It is surprisingly cool and quiet given it's power draw. (250-350 watts running mw2 at 4k ultra) I bought a new power supply with a native 12+4 pin connector than never even felt warm to the touch while running benchmarks. It's pretty thick and heavy but the three slot design keeps it in there steady. It's a beautiful card that does everything I paid for.

Amazing, but may not be for everyone.
I consider myself extremely fortunate to have secured one from what seems to be the last restock on Best Buy in 2023. With a 10% coupon + a 10% rewards bonus and a complimentary copy of Alan Wake 2, this graphics card exceeds expectations. But beyond the bundled perks, it stands out as an exceptional piece of hardware. Given its price point, it's undeniably the most powerful GPU on the market today, and the Founders Edition version is my personal favorite. From the premium packaging to the unique design with fans on both the top and bottom of the card, it exudes quality. What pleasantly surprised me is how quiet and cool it runs despite its immense power. The performance is, without a doubt, top-notch, and in terms of both aesthetics and industry-leading capability, it's a solid 5 out of 5. Now, let's delve into some lesser-known facts. Firstly, there are two LED RGB zones – one being the 'GEFORCE RTX' logo on the side that glows in white, and the other is a 'V' shaped light on the top and bottom of the card. Both sides constitute a single RGB zone, controllable with third-party software like Open RGB. It's a bit peculiar that Nvidia doesn't offer its own software for controlling these lights. Secondly, to fully leverage the GPU's potential, pairing it with the right CPU and likely a 4K monitor is crucial. Bottlenecking is a well-known concept, and having components that can't keep up might not only hinder performance but also introduce stuttering in some games. Despite using a 12700K with a 1440p monitor, I occasionally had to tweak settings for a smoother experience. However, the upside is that the 4090 is future-proof and will likely remain relevant for several CPU and GPU generations. Lastly, there have been concerns about power connector melting issues. Nvidia has quietly addressed this by updating the power connector, and reports of melting on FE cards with the new connector are scarce, if any. Cards manufactured in the last six months or so are likely to have the updated connector, ensuring a safer experience. My personal advice is to avoid random power cables from sources like Amazon and opt for reputable brands or use the provided adapter. Considering the state of the GPU market, the 4090 shines as a standout among the current offerings. While new SUPER level cards are on the horizon, the 4090 remains a solid recommendation if it's in stock. For those willing to wait, the refreshed Nvidia cards in the coming months might offer more options. As for the competition, my loyalty remains with team Green, as I've had consistently positive experiences with Nvidia cards (and not so much with Radeon offerings). Bottom like, don't get this card just because "it's the best". If you don't have the hardware that can keep up with it, you will end up wasting money and possibly getting some headaches in return. Don't forget the PSU requirement of 850W, which is what I use with no issues. If you have a computer that can match it closely enough, and maybe planning on upgrading in the next couple of years, the 4090 is a solid choice. For 4K, it's the obvious choice. For 1440p, it's a great choice with some level of future proofing (even though I know people hate this term). It's a cool product all around.
