if you think FE 4090 is loud you should have heard my gigabyte AMD RADEON 6990 dual gpu card, it was like a blow dryer, it was crazy. After that nothig seemed loud. I could hear it even outside, wait I can still hear it

My MSI 390X was really loud back in the day, only picked it up as had a really good deal on it. Hawaii GPU was hot!

Ah, I had plans to X-fire my 290x, then botched a water block on the one 290 I had and ended up getting 2 GTX980 in SLI instead. Which made the 1500w PSU I bought in readiness for 2 290's complete overkill. Add in the beginning of the end for SLI not long after, my, what a waste of money that was .

Talking about GPU noise? We can't ever forget the classic FX5800.

Back in the day I had a GTX660ti blower card and that sounded like a fighter jet taking off!

Wasn't the 6990 just 2 of the 290x in Xfire, on one board?

Cant see Nvidia going with 32gb VRAM and a 512 bus unless they plan to split the 102 to 5090 and 5090ti which is certainly possible and would mean they could jack up the price of the 5090ti more than they would be able to with just a 5090.

A 512-bit bus makes sense to me as, combined with GDDR7, it would offer a massive increase in memory bandwidth which would help a lot with 4K.

I think they're limited with where they can go with raw processing power this time as it'll be on the same process node as the 40-series so targetting a bit bandwidth increase would make sense.

That was the first gpu cooler to really emit any kind of annoying noise, before that the fans were too small to really notice that much.

A 512 bus and 32gb GDDR7 5090 would mean a large price increase over the 4090, it also leaves a big gap in price and performance to a 5080 so you'd think Nvidia need to drop in a 24gb 384 bus card in between but its whether or not that call it a 5080ti or whether they keep it as a 5090 and make the 32gb version a 5090ti / super.

I say they should do it. Charge £2499 for it or something. Let's see how popular it is then

6970 times 2...doh!! I knew it wasn't right with your reply

 

[JediFragger]

Yeah the 290's were a couple of years later iirc.

 

[subbytna]

295x2 wasn't it? Just been looking through all AMD's GPU releases over the years there. I'd forgotten just how many of their GPU's I've had. Some of them were amazing for overclocking. The venerable 7770 could have it's ass clocked off and still happily played the then games

 

[TNA]

I had it for quite a while and even though it was expensive on launch it was a good card and served me well.

I even had the 295x 2. Loved the way looked in my pc. Bloody thing ran hot when xfire was working. I could play Crysis 3 maxed out with it. Otherwise would just use single gpu and it would run fine.

Used to love Radeon stuff back then, a lot more than GeForce. But things change

I see Nvidia CEO publicly said that after Blackwell they are switching to yearly releases of new chips (that includes gaming GPUs). This will be interesting.

i really don't want yearly releases

Buying a gpu that could cost over 1.5k and seeing it being outdated by a new model in less then 12 months which then leads to a huge value drop

But guess this would be great news for the secondhand GPU buyers
