By the way, those of you with Nvidia's 4000 cards should start paying attention to your card thermals and performance. There are cards with problems with the thermal paste used:

The original article is from Igor's Lab, but the PCGamer article checked his cards and found the same results.

Pat Gelsinger: My new update on the CPUs make them lose 9% performance.

Jensen Huang: Hold my leather jacket

Looks to be more like a case of "Nvidia is crushing us with their rates, let's see how cheap we can make the GPUs to make as much profit as possible". And, to be honest, it wouldn't surprise me if AMD cards were also affected by this given how some of the manyfacturers caught in this also make AMD cards.
