5070 = 4090 for 499.

No way it's 4080 performance for £500, it's more like 4070ti 12GB.It got 22k on timespy
On unfinished drivers, no way to know if final clocks etc.

Until we have in the wild performance, I'm not trusting anything, especially with the heavy rumours the (9070XT) AIB cards can draw substantially more power and clock higher.

I think the last conclusive time a x70 beat a flagship was Kepler. The 1070 matched the 980 Ti but the Ti was a great clocker and did trade blows whereas the 670 conclusively best the 580 even when the 580 was overclocked. £329 for the 670 iirc back in 2012.. sad times :(
 
So, I'm late to the party and a 4090 owner, I can't really be bothered changing my card, 50/50 about the 5090, can't really be bothered changing my PSU for it.

Selling it and banking a few quid to get a 5080 would be nice I guess, but honestly, should I do anything or just keep the 4090 for years to come and be pleased with what I have?

Honestly I would just ignore the hype and fomo. 4090 isn't going to struggle any time soon. Can easily skip this gen without losing out, and probably next gen as well. Grab yourself a 7090 in 2031 and just enjoy gaming till then :P
 
Power of marketing. Enough to make people panic sell for cheap.
I still remember the same bs posted by Nvidia when they were presenting 4000 series and comparing to 3000. I also remember all the panic selling of 2080Ti which then rose in prices rapidly just after. :) so many tears of the panic sellers, whole rivers flowing. Let's see what happens this time. :)

I think you have answered your own question..
 
my personal experience has not been good, i generally use the ultra low latency option in nvidia control panel for highly responsive gameplay, its a godsend that works on every game, but then you cant use FG with this, because then its purpose is lost
It actually breaks FG in many games as I've experienced, causing horrible stutter and artefacts. It's one or the other.
 
The thing is I would notice a degradation in mouse response instantly which is ...... annoying. Sure my eyeballs sees less blur(due to the sample and hold nature of displays) but it wouldn't "feel" right.
As shown by ltt and other, the new reflex 2 seem to be moving generated frames in a way game engine didn't generate it at all, filling in even 20%+ of the frame with just ai generated rubbish. I really need to see proper testing of it, it doesn't sound to me like it has any right to look good with fast gameplay and camera movement. I suspect artefacts then will be very visible. And that's not even FG but it seems they used same tech with reflex 2.
