NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - Technical/General Discussion

Sparx said:
Agreed. My FE 5080 is running brilliant, great upgrade even from my 3080. The reviews have crapped on it unfairly tbh.

I'm also achieving +2000 Mem and +450 Core without any issue or artifacting, done a few hours of stress testing and temps are great, not exceeded 72c.

For day to day I have clocked it down to +1000 Mem and +300 Core just to be safe however.

No one said 5080 is crap. But they said that its priced unfairly and nvidia is overpricing due to monopoly

I said it's crap (relative to previous-gen performance uptick, and the down step in chip specs, and the ridiculous AIB and reseller markups). It's ok-ish in complete vaccuum; it's an absolutely shameful product all things considered.

Would it be crap for 749$?

No, because that would be within the normal spectrum of expected gen-on-gen price/performance improvements that we've seen since GPUs have existed. Add a "real" 5080 card in the line up (35% faster than 4080, 20GB VRAM) -- not the little-baby weakly card that nV is currently pushing as the 5080 -- for £1000 and the world would be put right.

You probably still dont understand that nvidia released 5070ti card and called it 5080.
What you describing is what 5080 should have been if nvidia wasn't tryng to scam consumera and play on market like a greedy snob.

I have seen 2 go for £1350 in the last week on this forum. I have not had a single graphics card, new or used fail on me since my Ti4600 in 2004.

Seems strange people would sell a gpu for several hundred below what it's worth, and what it constantly goes for on eBay. That would be another red flag for me. Especially the 4090 that was notorious for melting...

Has anyone else had the PCIe Gen 5 issue with a non-FE card? I installed my Palit card yesterday and found stuttering in Windows. Assumed it was a quirk of first boot, so I clean reinstalled the drivers, rebooted, and the problem went away. Yippee! However, I came to my PC this morning and the stuttering was back. I ran Indiana Jones which immediately hard-locked my system. Having read about the FE issues, I changed my PCIe slot to Gen4 and was able to run with zero stuttering or crashes. My 3DMark score even came out slightly improved (albeit by, like, 0.8%).

I have only read sporadic reports from randoms on Reddit etc. about third party cards having this issue also, and wondered what people here may have experienced.

My pny 5080 is working perfectly on pcie5.
No stuttering on kingdom come 2 etc.

Sweeping generalisations are always bad, whether it will or won't kind of depends on the game.

Well I never once had any game that my 3080 with 10gb couldn't run at 4k over 60fps, many near 100fps if I just reduced a few settings,
Most games were high settings.
(Not including path tracing.)

Yes I know - I was being facetious. They're doing the same thing with 5080 that they tried with "4080 12GB" aka 4070 ti, only this time they are sticking to their guns and don't have a true 80 card.

I have bought things from here before for less than on places like ebay and had no problems, honestly I would probably trust this place more than ebay. Your money is your money though.

You just brought up nightmares of me snapping off a capacitor on my 4600ti when I was installing it ~26 years ago. No amount of soldering would fix it, and this was loong before you could readily buy components. $450 down the drain -- a lot of money for a working college kid back then. Done did taught me to be careful.

I have unfortunately had a few cards go over the years across the ~60-70 card I've owned sice Riva TNT days. It's given me a strong understanding how valuable a warranty is, and how not having one needs to be considered when buying used. People spending £1800 on used 4090s now are out of thwir GD minds (although I suspect many will return them to sellers once they get a 5-series).

Plenty of companies around that would fixed that. Probably £30 repair

That's a real shame. Mine never had any issues like that it just started black screening when it was only 2 weeks old and got more frequent until I returned it and got a 9700pro instead.

I personally don't need to buy a 4090 or a 5080 as I have a 7900XTX and am happy with it but if I had money sitting I would at least strongly consider the used option. A decent amount more card for not a lot more money if you look in the right places.
