Blackwell gpus

[Mysterae_]

Should placate those that want there 100x playthrough of old games with RTX and Cyberpunk. The Gpu is dying a death compared to the old days where every gpu was a good uplift for cheaper or a wee bit more. Maybe Nvidia have another killer feature for launch though as software features seem to be overtaking the physical card these days. Hard being a Dinosaur in this day and age.

It's interesting you mention the next killer feature and imo that can only be AI assisted reality.

Not virtual reality, but actual reality like graphics, and not the horrid uncanny valley served to us now. It may still be a few generations off though, but it's coming.

I hope the VRAM is wrong because 12GB will be a joke on a 5070 class card in 2025. 12GB is now the absolute bare minimum for 4K ultra gaming, and even then there are some games already pushing past that just about or really close to it. By the time the 5000 series is out 12GB will just not be enough, especially if Nvidia sticks to 2 years or a bit more for the 6000 series, by then even 16GB will be just about enough and a 12GB card will be absolutely struggling because of that low VRAM no matter how fast the GPU is.

Ideally it will be 32GB for the 5090, really should be 20GB or 24GB for the 5080 and 16GB for a 5070, because a GPU released in 2025 and last until the 6000 series is out in maybe in 2027, 12GB is a bloody joke. PS6 and next Xbox will probably be on 32GB by then and this probably way overpriced GPU will be on 12GB

It's how Nvidia incentivize you to spend more money. The higher tier will have the vram allocation you expect.

It's what they did with the 4000 series. Only the 4080 and above had 16Gb of vram.

Will they do it again though with the 5000 series...

Only the 4080 and above had 16Gb of vram.

4070ti super, but you're not wrong - OG 4070ti at 12GB and 4080 at $1200 was/is laughable, which is why I went 7900XT at £700

If the 4070 OG had 16GB at $800 then they would have got my money....
5070 at 12GB and 5080 at 16GB is still pathetic (and wouldn't put it past them at all!)

256bit card (16GB) shouldn't be more than £600 (20GB/320 for 5080:£8-900, 24GB/384 (5080ti?): £9-1000, 32GB/512 (5090) at ~£1900)

Feel free to laugh at this, but 5080 being just barely 50% of 5090 die is ridiculous...

The 40 series sucked and so will the 50 series, unless you spend 2k+ on a 90, everything else gets a piecemeal upgrade and the strategy to make each tier up look slightly better than the one below except the ever increasing gap to the 5090 in price and performance and makes it the only card in the stack that offers genuine next gen performance.

AMDs time to shine and wipe the 5080 and down as Jensen looks to not give a **** about anything but the 5090.

So that £2500 card will cost them how much in the end? Will they still he paying it off when the next gen of cards come out?

The rise of klarna and so on is horrendous for spending, people buying things they cannot afford.

Price guesses for the cards? Thinking..

5090 - $2000
5080 - $1200
5070 Ti - $800
5070 - $600
5060 Ti - $450
5060 - $350

5070ti $900 especially if it has 16gb VRAM
5070 $700
5060ti $500

 

[JediFragger]

5080 - $1200

I'd say this was about right, which is odd as you'd think they'd like to sell some this time around! Guessing it's just there to push people towards the 5090 though...

 

[brostradamus]

worst case scenario is that the 50 series is just a die shrink, slightly better prices for no improvement in performance

Sounds like this gen will be another Turing where only the 2080ti really kicked on from Pascal.

Eight per system..

The more you buy.... the more you save

 

[ethan]

Lol. At least one place is already taking orders for the 5090?

 

[scubes]

cant wait to see the silly prices these things go for at launch..

 

[brostradamus]

man the 5090 is going to be a tremendous product, if those rumored specs are true

No wonder AMD decided to abandon the high end, the yields on that can't be good for such a large die area.

 

[brostradamus]

n4p supposedly yields 25-30% higher transistor densities, this could be well north of 100 billion transistors
