NVIDIA 5000 SERIES - ***NO COMPETITOR HINTING***

[Bidley]

£600? Not bad

But B grade you say? How many years warranty?

The usual OCUK 90 days, MSI probably won't give me anything. I figured a warranty I may or may not use wasn't worth the extra £600 an AIB 5080 would probably cost me

You werent one of those who took part in the “no trouser day” on the tube last week was you?

You know him? it was only for a day but it got his jollies off so much he made it into a week and is still going.

 

[GoRedwings19]

yeah not the weather to be spending the night outside but if you had too then tent, sleeping bag and steam deck are essential items !

Good luck tomorrow, should stand a much better chance than 99% of us

Nah I am kidding. I rather walk over a 100 miles of broken glass to sniff dog poop then buy from them.

And have you been to bolton? I thought wolverhampton was bad but bolton makes it looks like Dubai.

Yea MSI probably won't. If it was gigabyte I think they also go by manufacturer date or something. Or at least used to.

Oh no I love winter. I hate the summer. Even though British summers are odd like ethe duration and comapred to toehr countries it not the same. The heat in the UK affects me much more than when I have been abroad. Like anywhere else sure 40c is hot but here 25c and I am dead...

Couldn’t agree more. To keep it somewhat on topic, I am more of a 1060 kind of guy in terms of heat, rather than 5090

I'd like to know what fellow 3090 users thinking... Worth an upgrade to a 5090, or waiting it out for something else?

Nope as I use my 3 3090s in this manner.

1- An NVLINK-ED dual card setup for my workstation and odd flight sim session. My setup, upgraded since with larger SSDs and hard drives, but basically the same. https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/the-ampere-rtx-3090-owners-thread.18898762/post-34846430

2- A spare 3090 that is same sat in a HTPC as a spare but probably turned on 5 times in all the time I have had it, but need it as a spare if I needed to RMA one, but they have been solid cards and not a single issue.

The problem for me is the 5090 again has no NVLINK so you can't double the VRAM and 32GB is not enough for me for work. Also the 2 x 3090s give me 48GB and double the cuda cores for work. Nothing in the Geforce range still touched the 3090/ti's for this and why Nvidia removed NVLINK after the 3090s as they want people like me to buy their A-series cards (Quadro cards of the past) at super inflated prices and no need for their "Quadro drivers" for my work.

Watch the video Gamers Nexus did the review for the 5080 I think it was and the end part, even states he is better staying on his 3090s than go 50 series for how he uses his graphics cards for work.

I'm sticking to what I have for now and waiting for 60 series and see from there, if same mess, maybe I will just grab an A-series card and get it over with.

There's times I think it would be nice if all the whinging and complaining could be seperated from the thread.

Agreed. The only whining I want to hear going forwards is from my brand new 5090

… wait :|

AMD need to provide a good alternative & get the marketing & Pricing right so people think it is a viable good alternative. AMD when they do come up with good alternatives stuff up the marketing and pricing and when they eventually get the pricing right, the damage is done.

I'm personally in two minds right now, on one hand I'm thinking of buying a 5080 tomorrow (or at least try) because it's a big uplift to what I have now and I don't know what AMD are actually releasing and at what price point. I'm considering trying to get a 5080 and if I do, just hold onto it and not unbox it until the new Radeon cards come out and then check reviews, if the 9070XT isn't far away and it's under £600 I would just resell it, if the 9070XT turns out to be a lot worse then keep it. That way I won't lose any money if I do decide to go down the AMD route. Hedging my bets basically

Their strategy needs to consist of more than “price all the cards $50 lower than the nvidia equivalent”

6 years ago that worked but folk now look at it like this: “for an extra $50 I can get a tangible performance bump, useable raytracing, DLSS upscaling and frame generation”

A wise man once said "just buy a 4090 and be done with it".

A truly wise man.

Don't bother bringing up inflation for the millionth time folks, it just drags discussions off topic.

Forget inflation, just calculate your own take home salary in January 2025 (5080 release) compared to September 2020 (3080 release). Hopefully it's increased since then

 

[Nitefly]

This is a pretty interesting one from the Tech Power Up review:

It is disappointing that it didn’t beat the 4090 but it’s not terrible value.

"@FrameChasers
You’re gonna find I’m usually the opposite to everyone else, no one knows what they are doing."

Delusional little weirdo that he is.

The overclocking potential sounds good.
Bit weird that he's using a 14900k and calls people with AMD CPUs "AMDipshits".
If he could explain why a 14900k is better in gaming and back that up, that would be a much nicer way of bringing people to his cause (sounds like the frametime is more consistent, but worse performance overall so...)

It would be blasphemy, you could be losing massive percentages (20-40%) depending on the game/settings. Unless you like to play at 40-50fps.

I think you would probably be disapoointed with the 5090. The 5080 would provide a large boost in most GPU bound scenarios and save yourself at least £1,000.

Just found this video, re: CPU bottlenecking and 5090 performance.

I'm not sure how credible this guy is, but it does raise some concerns in my mind about upgrading without also upgrading the rest of my rig.

Example given with a 5090, Cyberpunk 4K res at high settings:

• Top-end CPU (AMD Ryzen 9800x3D): 130fps average
• Mid-tier 2020 CPU (AMD Ryzen 5600): 100-110fps (ish) - the video is annoying at this point @09:05 because he starts faffing around with Ultra settings thus ruining a fair comparison... He's also in a different area of the game hence again not a fair comparison.

I feel like he might just be wanting to sell CPUs via affiliate links.

They should and they claim they want to, but it's AMD... At least they want our monies for sure, so should try harder to get it!

If you want or need to upgrade then you do - nobody should stop you. It is what it is, it's not that you have much choice here. Hope is enough of people in general (not every single individual) will tell NVIDIA this isn't the way for them to remember for the next time but we'll see.

Benchmarking a 5090 with an 8 year old CPU...I mean.....dumb?

Cilckbait nonsense.

 

[Joxeon]

I know Jensen touted 4090 performance but do we think the 5070 will even beat the 4070S given its spec of 1000 less cuda cores and what we’ve seen from the 5080 uplift so far?

 

[Grim5]

Guru3d claims when you do a hybrid test involving RT+Raster the 5090 wins as you expect, but when you do a full path trace test with no raster, the 4090 wins. What's up with that

 

[TNA]

Clearly the 4090 is the superior GPU. Or at least what you want to hear anyway
