NVIDIA 5000 SERIES

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.
I'd guess it will make pcie 4 more important, especially with the top two tiers, at the very least.
 
from what i understand the pcie-5 is going to be a multidevice interface so instead of 16x for gpus you could tone it down to 10x and use the extra bandwidth for ssds and other devices (because each lane is faster than pcie4), thats broadly what they are thinking, so theres not going to be a big increase in performance, but lets see how mr jensen is able to surprise us
 
I haven't been following along. Are there any new features expected?
Given the talk around Nvidia/Arm and CPU's recently I've been wondering if an onboard CPU would be possible, to produce consistent performance across resolutions and not depend somewhat on the mainboard CPU, so, removing CPU bottlenecking.
 
no the die size for thre 5090 is rumored to be around 750 mm2 and a dlss4 iteration, ofcourse they will tweak the rt model and etc. but nothing big expected
other than that gddr7 vram (pretty much confirmed its going to be gddr7) is going to be a big upgrade
 
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
The same except im an Unreal Engine Artist /Dev so I need the memory! gaming performance will be better on the 5080 but no way am I going back to 16gb. Then again the 5090 will be taxable as it's 'mostly' used for work. :D
 
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.
I'd say its the opposite, someone who bought the 4090FE new last gen and then skipped this gen would have spent $1600 and had 2 years of top tier performance followed by 2 years of 2nd tier performance. Someone who bought a 4080FE for $1200 then a 5080FE for lets say $1200 again would have spent $2400 for 4 years of second tier performance.

Not quite sure that’s right - 3090 is not currently ‘2nd tier’ performance. It’s currently tier D below 4080 (on this forum’s stickied thread).

So it’s more like 2 years first tier, 2 years 3rd tier.

I agree though that the steep initial pricing of the 4080 does skew it a bit against what I said. And yes, it’s up in the air how well the 4090 stacks up. Maybe it will outperform the 5080 in most games. I guess we’ll see!

Buying the top tier and skipping a gen only really made sense starting with the 40 series when Nvidia decided to make the 80 cost 3/4 of the 90 with a large performance gap. Before that buying the 70/80 every gen did make more sense.
 
Yeah as expected AMD are waiting for Nvidia to set the price rather than being bold and jumping in first.

They could just announce tomorrow... tbh I think getting it wrong is much worse than upsetting the fanboys. A mis-step for them now would be curtains surely?

They know the performance sits around 7900XT levels and that card has been going for $600 and not selling particularly well, why not just come in at $400-450 now and take the fight to Nvidia if they want market share.
