NVIDIA 5000 SERIES

That's my plan... though I have this horrible (and irrational) fear that Jensen will do a Sega Saturn and say "The 5090 - on sale now" and by the time I wake up there'll be a six month queue to buy one.

I mean, OCUK did do that update your credit card/don't use credit post thing before Xmas...

If I was in the market for a 5090 I wouldn't want to risk it ;)

Looking at all my games, most of them AAA single player games. The recommended GPU (not minimum) is mostly 3060/2080 Supers. The 5070ti/5080 will be so much better than that.

It's worth keeping that in mind no matter the 5090 performance IMO, because you know the price is going to be sky high.
 
If only you could rent graphics cards on a weekly basis lol. Get a shot of the new shiny for a while till we all fall back into our usual computer habits with no buyers remorse.
 
Are we expecting much of a difference between PCIE 4x16 and 5x16 on the 5090. Surely it can’t be more than a couple of percent if that.
 
I'm currently rocking a 3090 and wondering whether go all in on a 5090 or will I see a nice upgrade with a 5080 even though it's less vram.

I game at 4k 120hz on my living room TV.

Not long until we find out and if the price is too horrific. It's wild though that these recent GPU prices have programmed some of us to think that if the 5090 is less than 2k then I'll bite

Isn't that GeForce Now or whatever it's called (the online thingy)?

I hope Jensen at least buys us a drink first.

I can't ever remember where it's been more than 1-2% drop from either one gen behind or dropping to 8x. Pretty safe I would think.
 
The rest of the system needs to also leverage the bandwidth of 5x which they don't. It's just a future spec thing like it's always been, won't be close to realised for many years still.

This goes against getting the 5090 and the entire 90 class tbh.

Here I am with my 4 year old 3090 which is still pretty good, but it will get destroyed by the 4080 in most games. It’ll be a pipsqueak compared to the 5080.

I think it may be more ‘fps cost effective’ to just get the 80 class card every gen than the 90 class every two gens. At least that way you benefit from the latest bells and whistles tech, whether that’s DLSS or neural rendering of whatever.

Just testing this theory on… uh, let’s say God of War because why not… based on a tech power up page at 4k:

71fps 3080
82fps 3090
104fps 4080

I’m pretty sure that’s without DLSS.

I suppose it depends on how important it is to have the highest res texture packs… games look good without them, even if they look better with them.

Dunno :p
 
God of War isn't a prime example really as the engine has no modern rendering tech to really put a demand on the GPU, with the move toward ray tracing for global illumination being the biggest GPU hit, the gap is probably even wider in those sorts of games. Cyberpunk would be a good comparison I'd say.

i would recommend the 5090, you dont want to downgrade from 24 GB of VRAM, then you wont be able to gloat around in "is 16gb enough?" threads

The previous speculation was 3% faster due to PCIE5 v PCIE4.
PCIE4 bandwidth is not saturated yet, but obviously the cards aren't out yet and it's new tech, so no one really knows, until benchmark comparisons are done.
