NVIDIA 5000 SERIES

From the nVidia slides (the 1 or 2 games where it gives you useful info)... looks like there's about a 20% performance increase across the gen (5090 vs 4090, 5080 vs 4080 etc)...

A little less than I'd have liked but not too bad really; and then the prices aren't as apocalyptic as we'd feared. £2k for 5090 is still pretty darn high but it's below expectation -- then again if it's (as it appears) only 20% faster than the 4090 then nVidia have pulled .... another nVidia... and gone "oh it's 20% faster, so we'll charge 20% more"

Yeah it looks like Nvidia has went all in on AI performance so rasterisation will only see a modest uplift and to give all the extra AI performance something to do Nvidia has went all in on multi FG.
 
Yeah, I'm not sure 20% is enough for me personally. It's definitely a wait for actual benchmarks situation. New frame gen looks cool but then I remember that the last two AAA games I played (Indiana Jones, Dragon Age) frame generation was broken on release lol
 
i guess the 80 billion to 92 billion increase in transistor count speaks volumes on where all those additional transistors went
all that additional 20-30% raw perf uplift must be exclusively due to 512bit and gddr7
this looks like a 2080 ti launch all over again where core performance was nothing to speak about but you got more features
but wth i bought that card and will be buying the 5090 too - YOLO

It does also have the massively increased vram that everyone gets excited about.
 
Wonder if it's worth going from 4080 to 5080 with all the new bells and whistles
Depends if you like fake frames.

I see this gen more as an upgrade for those who stuck with the 3000 or below, I think it’s easily skippable if you’re already on a 4000 series card unless you are also moving up a price tier.
