NVIDIA 5000 SERIES

I'm still sat here thinking sod it as I buy a new system once a decade lol.
Reading what's Being said I can see in another years time we will have the 5080ti with 24gb vram it's blatantly obvious. Maybe I'll just settle for an intel or and card like the 9070xt till the 5080ti comes out as I really want the 5090 but just not willing to pay the asking price tbh.

Mate the cards hold value fairly well. Just get a 5080FE and then when the refresh for the "Super/TI" cards come out next year. Sell your 5080 and upgrade for a minimum price.
 
Thinking of getting a 5090 this time round as have got into VR gaming and also plan on getting an 8k VR headset later this year with the Pimax dream air or the Megane x or something similar.

Do you think my psu would be ok to continue to use or would I need to upgrade to a more powerful one? {current PSU is a Bequiet dark power 12 1000w}

According to NVIDIA, a 1000W PSU is sufficient to power both a 5090 in combination with a 9950X3D .... but as discussed earlier in this thread a lot's going to depend on whether the 5090 causes transient power spikes or not. The 3000 series cards had this issue, but was resolved in the 4000 gen cards.

1000w will be fine.

Some of the wilder AIB models may also need more.
 
Got to bare in mind as well that the slides were all using RT, so the raster performance might be even lower than what the slides show. I hope i am wrong and the slides were just completely off and the raster performance is much more than anticipated, but with how much they were leaning on MFG, i think this generation unfortunately is going to be minimal between 20-30%.. which yes from a 4000 series owner isn't good enough for me to want to upgrade

What's really confusing me is that in both Nvidia's marketing slides and also the DF preview video, it shows a roughly 2X performance uplift from 40 to 50 series but this is with 2x and 4x FG respectively. Surely this means that ALL of the performance uplift is due to the additional frame generation, meaning there's literally no raw performance uplift at all?

This just doesn't make sense, especially in the case of the 5090 which, based on specs alone, should be about 50% faster than a 4090.
 
Based on prior releases, if anyone cares to caress their magic ball, what would you say likely difference between 5090 and a potential 5090Ti future release might be? Am looking at upgrading my 980TI, all my other components are upgraded already, not sure (assuming im getting reamed on pricing on either, thanks Jensen!) if its worth paying a fortune now for a 5090 or waiting and paying a fortune on a potential 5090TI but getting slightly/a lot more bang for my buck.

I dont think they will do a 5090 Ti, they haven't for the 4090... there is a big hole between the 5080 and 5090 so its more expected for something to slot in between there than anywhere else

I wont be upgrading till the 8k vr headsets come out anyway so probably half way through the year... I did hear talk of a 24gb 5080 super or TI, that might be a beyter choice for me ad I definitely wouldn't need to change the PSU then, bit would lose a bit of performance from a slower gfx card

As per the previous page, I just don't see a 5090ti happening. The 3090ti wasn't a roaring success and it had less than a year on the market before being superseded by the faster, cheaper 4090. I'd expect the 5090 to remain the "halo" card for the whole generation.
 
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.

I'm not removing my 4090 FE from the motherboard unless I have a 5090 to put in straight away. Not making that mistake again :cry:
