NVIDIA 5000 SERIES

You thought the 5090 would be cheaper than the 4090?
In fairness the 5080 is basically same price as the 4080 12GB was (£979 vs £949) or cheaper for than the 16GB (£1269)
The 4070 was £589, the 5070 is £539
The 4070Ti was £767, the 5070Ti is £729

So the 5090 compared if you look at the average decrease then you could say an expected average 6% decrease (the 16GB 4080 outlier ignored) in price which would have put the 5090 at £1442 then. So it shows where the price increase sits compared to the other cards as the halo product. With the others decreasing then seeing it come out at the same £1535 or even around £1599 would have been much more palatable personally.
 
the footnote on recommended psu

"Our wattage recommendation is based on a fully overclocked GPU and CPU system configuration. For a more tailored suggestion, please use the “Choose By Wattage” feature on our PSU product page: https://rog.asus.com/event/PSU/ASUS-Power-Supply-Units/index.html"

guessing 850w psu is fine for stock clocked 5090 and lower power cpu's like the 7800x3d


edit
with an intel i9 and 5090 with overclocking turned on, they recommend 1600w :D
They recommend same for the Ryzen 9 and 5090. It a rubbish calculator lol
 
well whats new in the 5090 that the 4090 doesnt have, other than the GDDR7 VRAM, what can the 5090 do that a 4090 cant, not on about framrates but anything new?
 
Looking forward to seeing some indepth performance reviews. Some of those numbers look wild, I think real life gaming could be very different.

- Showing 100%+ performance increase when using 3 frame multigeneration is misleading. DLSS4 is not going to be suitable/work for some games. So maybe a 20-40% baseline increase for 5090.
- 575 watts is going to be loud! And 3rd party will help but add on extra £200-300
- 16/16/12GB is not great for the other cards

I was keen for the 5090FE since I've been doing a ton of AI/ML stuff recently and badly needing a gaming GPU upgrade. But between noise, price and baseline performance I'm not sure... You can rent GPU's for £2-10/hr for AI training anyway..

5070Ti is a decent upgrade over my 2080Ti but maybe buying a 2nd hand 4090/4080Super is a good deal while waiting for a 24GB 5080/5070Ti Super.
 
Don't feed into the hype. It only makes it worse.Its frustrating to see so many users stating things like this. It's just a feedback loop that generates the FOMO etc

There is no reason for these to be scalped. The 4xxx series was readily available most of the time, and there is no crypto mining boom.

I think you'd have to be a fool to buy one of these above RRP at or around launch.
Exactly. For sure will be a bit of a wait to get a card, but no known issues with manufacturing.
Back in the 4090 release I received a “ticket” allowing me to get one on released. Passed to someone in the forum as a 4080 was more realistic to my needs. At least someone was saved from scalpers.

We had this last gen except they locked out previous gens on the FG path. The change of node did give a boost moving off samsung which wont be so apparent this time round. You will have to wait for reviewers to really show what the difference is here and never rely on the best case scenarios using features for these gains.
 
Some people on fleabay already asking £1600 for a MSI 5080 bottom of the range. That is going to be brutal.
thats ridiculous

release day will have plenty in stock, cost of living crisis aint gonna have ppl rushing off their feet to bag a 5080 5090 on scalped prices

Plus I,m sure there will be plenty in stock to buy day 1, I can remember the 40 series on day one release, I bought min at 5pm and there were loads in stock
 
Didn't think we get fake fake frames as now the measure of performance charts.

People really getting bad at playing games if they can't judge latency.

Saying that, the amount of games that come with assist is insane so yeah, crap gamers like crap features
 
5080s are up on the store page with placeholder pricing of £11,999.99 and 5090s are up with placeholder pricing of £25,000.
It's nice to be able to take a look at the selection that will be available.
 
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
Yeah FF16 with frame generation on gives a weird artefact like screen tearing across the lower 20% of the screen when running about. I love DLSS Quality and use it on everything but frame gen is very much a bonus when it works and not something to rely upon
