NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - Technical/General Discussion

The money I'll save if I don't buy a 5090 can go towards the imminent Switch 2 and an OLED 4k monitor (I've been holding off as I would need to use for work as well, I really like the Dell AW3225QF)

Sorry to go off topic for a moment. I have the AW3225QF and love it. Not too fussed about HDR, but going from 144hz IPS to 240hz OLED is unreal. I may have a 10% code for you if interested. If you catch it on sale + use a code it is pretty good value.
 
If a Titan/5090ti is in the works, it needs to come out soon. A year from now, and you'd only have to wait another year for the 6090.

It's also the cost. I could easily see nVidia absolutely rinsing people and pricing it at £3k. That said, the 6090 will probably have another £500 bump over the 5090 so...

As someone with an OLED monitor I can tell you the upgrade was well worth it (coming from a 144hz IPS no HDR monitor).

You’ll notice the visual jump to an OLED (depending what you’re coming from) whereas the novelty of the new graphics card wears off quick, obviously.

You know you'll order one come the 30th when the big green button appears :D

I think most going for the 5090 just want the best no matter what. If going for the sensible choice, the 4090 wasn't sensible either, none of the high end cards are. They all depreciate very quickly and give limited image quality gains compared to cheaper alternatives.

Sensible choices are the PS5, 4070 series in terms of performance per $ and bang for buck etc.

I know… because you’re speaking to an idiot who paid over msrp (first time ever i’d like to add, haha) to upgrade from a 7800X3D to 9800X3D. What muppetry. Of course I will do it all again when I see the FE in stock.

Thank you for the offer, really appreciated. I'll give you a shout if I decide to take the plunge.

so to sum up 310 pages of this thread. 40 series owners are happy and laugh at the pitiful generational up tick and won't be upgrading and will wait for the 60 series but keep coming to the 50 series thread to let us know. 30 series and below will be buying and look forward to the big jump in performance.

Spot on :cry:

3090 release date: September 24, 2020
4090 release date: October 12, 2022
5090 release date: January 30, 2025

It's taking Nvidia longer to launch each generation. 6090 may take even longer, as I doubt Nvidia have any more power envelope to use, 5090 is probably pushing it for what they're comfortable with.

They also have less incentive, with AMD practically giving up competition wise.

Getting 30% performance over a 5090 with same power consumption, so just efficiency and architecture improvements, could make make the 6090 release 2.5 to 3 years after the 5090.

+1!

The amount of time invested by 40 owners stating they won't be updating to 50 series every 5 minutes could have been used as labour to buy several 5090's :cry:

Thanks, I currently have a 4k 144hz IPS Dell G3223Q (and a 1440p second monitor). I'm just worried an OLED would be be a problem as I am a Statistician/Researcher and I would be using it for work with lots of data and static screens. But it looks like the OLED technology is much better nowadays and Dell give you a 3 year warranty which includes burn in.

Sorry, I'm getting off topic here, so I'll stop. Anyway, I'm edging towards not buying a 5090 to replace my 4090 with the lack of demanding games that I care about on the horizon being the main driver.

Absolutely insane. Also it would be a missed opportunity for Nvidia not to bring out a 6969 card, just saying..

I suspect that what they are releasing now has been limited by using "only one" of the 12vt cables.

If the 5090 required two of those cables on launch, everyone would be having a fit as they'd probably need to upgrade their PSU.

For what it's worth, when I bought a new PC for my new build I did deliberately choose a PSU with 2 native 12vt cables for exactly that reason. But really not sure if that would have been a viable thing to go with for Nvidia's "5090" launch? Might also make them wait and do that for the 6090.

lol - it is kind of funny.

Clearly we all have different perspectives on it because we have all just bought things at different times and have different 'timings' for wanting upgrades. The older your current card, the more you stand to gain. Whoever is in the market for 'the best today' probably isn't going to be looking at the previous gen, if they don't own it. They also haven't spent any money on the previous gen so won't be 'invested'. Meanwhile people that have the current best are going to be more sceptical and have higher thresholds for warranting an upgrade. It's as simple as that.

I'm also sort of reminded about people being smug about their mortgage rates before they all wildly increased... as if it had everything to do with their 'astute logic' and 'playing the game'... rather than (in reality) just making a reasonably informed decision at the time their existing mortgage was up for renewal.

Personally, I tried to buy a 4090 to try and get 120FPS native for my LG TV, but all the cards I had were duds so I've sat and waited for the next (better) thing... looking forward to it!
