NVIDIA 5000 SERIES

Every 2 years

Ah thats pretty good length, having recently got my new parts to build a PC, not had a pc in 20 odd years, its nice to see how popular pc gaming is, been on consoles for years but I find them quite boring of late, keeping my PS5, but will be selling my series x soon.
Looking forward to getting back into PC and all what it brings, good and bad.
 
I have a 4090 and will upgrade to a 5090 - But only if I can get a FE or card at MSRP.
I should get £1400 for my 4090 hopefully which means the upgrade is £600.

If however I can't get a card at MSRP then I simply won't upgrade as not going to pay over £2k for a GFX card.

You'll definitely be able to get one, it's just day one and the first few months that it may be hard to secure. :)

Are you waiting to pick up a 5000 series GPU, or do you already have one ?

Similar to my thoughts. Not in any desperate need to upgrade my 4090 ; will only consider a FE which will probably be quite hard to get at launch given demand/scalpers etc.
 
AMDs 9070XT is looking more interesting than the mid range blackwell's, the 9070XT leaks so far make it look stronger than the 5070 and perhaps stronger than the 5070ti as well

I know i'm more of a lurker to this forum than a contributor but I have to question a lot of the negative comments around this release. In what other industry to get true revolutionary upgrades? Literally none. they are all gradual and incremental upgrades. Yes, there's high prices for the top tier cards but we simply have to accept that's the word we live in. Gone are the days of £500 top tier cards.

I for one, am quite impressed with this release and will be looking to upgrade from the 4080 super. Will i then be looking to keep up to date when the 6000 series come along? Possibly. But I'll judge whether i upgrade at the time and if i dont i'll be safe in the knowledge I'm thoroughly enjoying what i get out of my current card.
What's revolutionary with these new GPUs? most look like they offer a 15-20% real world performance uplift and the AI framegen x4 stuff is already available with lossless scaling.

Yep you can run MFG 4x on any GPu with one piece of software, don't need Nvidias greed. And Soon lossless scaling will also support MFG 10x, that's 600% more frames than Nvidia does with DLSS4, so Nvidia is already behind the curve

That is my problem - 100% will never get an FE as they will be taken by scalpers.
I managed last time to get a Zotac on launch at MSRP and would have to be the same this time - Otherwise it will be another 2 years with the 4090 which TBH will be easily done.

I'm in the exact same predicament. However, I don't want an FE card just an MSI one really. I have a MSI 4090 Suprim already. I have a spare 3080 that I was thinking of running for the mean time while I try sell my 4090 but I'm a bit concerned whether there will be enough stock. I don't want to be stuck with my 3080 from another PC for several months.

I have to decide if it's work the risk and sell my 4090 and bare the potential issues of having to be stuck with my 3080 for a few months if I don't manage to get a 5090.

Don't think I'd take the risk.
 
Was just wondering it you have certain case where you look down onto the top of the graphics card would those adapter that change a card from top on view to a side view become more important. Just thinking of the graphics card cracking issue.
For clarity something like this

Do you have the funds to buy a 5090 before selling your 4090? If so I’d do this.

Not at the moment so that's why I was going to opt for selling the 4090 first instead of doing it the other way around. But I might just hold off and wait for the 6000 series instead and get more out of my 4090 instead and go for a mid range card in the future instead. I'd rather see a more significant uplift tbh. So I might just wait for the next gen of cards. I'll see how I feel over the new week or two. Do we know if the 4090s were quite quick to sell out before?
