NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - Technical/General Discussion

Doom the dark ages has weird performance on RTX5000. The 5080 is a massive 40% slower than the 4090 in this game; plus the 9070XT beats the 5080

Where are you seeing this?

well thats understandable because you cant compare a 4090 to a 5080

5080 is like half the card vs the 4090

How are people calculating that 40%? I don't see anything like that kind of gap. 40% slower would be around 40fps, not the 55.7fps shown.
 
^ Hardware Unboxed has the 9070XT beating the 5080 across the rezes / quality settings

Clearly we don't know where / how TPU tested

I've seen this video as well, I found it hilarious how RTX 5000 cards performed almost same as previous gen, and 7900XTX/9070XT was better than a 5080.

Either way it's still funny how 5080 costs double compared to 9070XT, yet the performance doesn't reflect it. It's actually an embarassingly small gap. Going from 50 to 55FPS is such a let down for the 'extra' investment.

The 9070 XT is £680 vs £950 for the cheapest 5080 (give or take). Not quite double, but yes a large gap. AMD really need to hit MSRP on the 9070 XT. They've done a shocking job with making enough of them. Thank god they stockpiled loads of them due to the botched launch, otherwise it would be truly dire.
 
So funny to see 9070xt beating the 5080 because Nvidia doesn't know how to make drivers anymore, now 5000 series owners get to enjoy poor performance along with their black screens and crashes :cry:
It’s impressive a card priced where it is beating the 5080 in a Nvidia sponsored title (in HUBs review not Techpowerups unless upscaling is brought in to it)

I’m wondering if the public release of the game ready driver will be any better, it’s still on 576.28 atm

You are right the 5080s are much cheaper now, still sceptical if they are worth the extra cost for 5 FPS.

I doubt it will be ready, it Dark Ages gets an early release within 48 hours.

All depends if you’re only playing this one title or not… I’m not saying the card is worth a grand, it just comes down to in individual if they want it over the 5070ti or AMDs offerings.

Not everyone is suffering from the driver issues but you’ll only read about people having issues which has been an abnormal amount recently

I’ve not really seen any issues with the latest driver, hopefully it stays that way with future releases :o

Just a speedy one, I finally gave in and bought a 5070 Ti. Uninstalled and DDU for old drivers and a fresh install of the 573.11 drivers.
A quick bench on 3DM Steel Nomad netted 6347 (i7-10700k @ stock 32gb DDR4 @ 18K), is that ball park ?
HW monitor reports peak of 68 deg for GPU and 299.6W power. Assuming they are par for course ?
