Blackwell gpus

Doubt it

Kingdom Come 1 was a PC exclusive at first so it was designed for PCs. The sequel is designed for consoles then ported to PC, sorry boys but it's quite likely that Kingdom Come 2 won't be particularly demanding. Kingdom Come 2 does not even use Ray Tracing, so it's very limited in how demanding it can be, and as per the developer's comments, this game was designed ground up to run on the 4 teraflop Xbox Series S

Bingo Update

"I can afford one, I just don't want one."

(Snip) I am not interested. Not because I can’t afford it, but because I don’t find value in it.

Wild assumptions about other's finances based on GPU purchase.

"For the price of that I could get (something totally unrelated)"

2 weeks. The price of a 5090 is how much I spent on my 2 weeks to Thailand this year. Ate well, stayed in nice hotels... saw views that no amount of ray-tracing and CUDA cores could ever hope to replicate.

Ordered two

Mental gymnastics to justify purchase to internet nobodies.

(Snip) However I accidentally broke an ultrawide screen last week which I replaced with a high refresh 4K OLED and need the 5090’s raw power to do it justice.

Under the thumb posters-"I want one but the other half would kill me"

"I'll stick with my <potato> until they are £299"

Sour grapes posters having a temper tantrum because others are buying things they can't (but will insist they can, so why the sour grapes?)

"ha ha get the lube out"

Some people are just pre lubed I suppose. (Snip)

"I require one for work purposes" (credit The_Arbiter)

because I need this for AI stuff otherwise would not bother with such ridiculously high price for 1 piece of hardware.

To be fair there was several of us who talked him into that 4090 purchase

Haha, glad to help you fill out the bingo card Noxia

I’m pretty sure I read a “future proofing” post a few pages ago as well.

Rtx5090 PCB, this is not reference model, it's for an AIB

512bit bus confirmed and 1x power connector

As you can see the chip is MASSIVE, along with 16 x 2GB memory and 40 phase VRM and the PCIE pin layout shows its PCIE 5

A cropped photo of the PCB after parts have been placed has been posted by the same person. VRM, memory and the GPU die are now visible

Not a lot… nothing controversial but point taken it was not about Blackwell. Sooo let’s get back into topic. That 5090 PCB needs some mahousive cooling- yesterday by bro-in-law was going about how he has to use DLSS at 4K on his 4070 super and how he’s running out of vram stuttering all the time- he’s keen on splurging £2k to solve this problem (Jensen will get his Christmas wish from Santa)

Christmas is over. It is now officially Jensenmas. Time to hang up the AIdvent calendar and start counting down the days.

Can anyone make out the text on the vram in the PCB photo? I'm curious to know who the manufacturer is


Edit: ok looks like the photo matches this



It's Samsung vram and not Micron then

any revision in area estimate?
