NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - Technical/General Discussion

muon said:
I've been following tech pretty closely since 2006. I think the 5070 might be the worst (non-rebadge) GPU product to ever have been launched.

I'd still say that still goes to the GeForce FX series, at least the 5070 can actually run games. It’s close though.
 
Had e nuff of waiting.... but foooookkkks sake - anyone have a PCI-e riser ?

I'm sure I had my measurements right :cry:

I loved my 5950 Ultra, although anti-aliasing need not apply. :D
I could never justify buying a 5070!

Really hope we see some with missing ROPs just to fully cement it in at no.1 worst card of all time.
 
so I bought a 5080 and within 1 week OCUK sent my preorder for my 5090 Amp Extreme, so now I'm left with an extra 5080 GPU that I dont need, so I wacked it on the bay and priced it 5% less from the RRP I paid for it, its been 5 days and no one has given me a offer let alone sell it, plus i'm not scalpn lolz that shows the 5080 demand has gone and the same will happen on the 5090

Someone would buy it at FE pricing, just not AIB

yes true but that will be a £300 loss for me, I paid 1350 for it, FE is £999 so Ive just emailed the retailer and asked for a return, its only been 8 days since ive had it, lets see what they say, hopefully they will accept a return.

Check the return policy from seller , return window is usually 14 days or 30 days

£980 for the 5080FE and even that’s too much for a card that don’t match the previous gen flagship. £800 imo is about the right price for a 5080 and as much as I’d be willing to pay for one.

You need to price it 50% more otherwise the buyers might think it is a scam cause it is price lower than the RRP.
 
No one should be buying the 5090 due to the power issues. I honestly don't know why that even needs saying.

If you're on a 30 series only a RRP 5070ti or a FE5080 make any sense imo.

Yeah they should accept it back under Distance Selling regulation but you will have to pay for insured postage. No one is going to buy a no warranty, used 5080 for just 5% discount.
