NVIDIA 5000 SERIES

With the 5080FE in mind am I right in assuming the following:

1. It is smaller than the 4080FE?
2. It works with the same power connector as the 4080FE?
3. My current PSU which is powering a 4080FE will still work just fine?

I dont think I will buy one yet, but maybe at some point later on in the year.

Exactly same width and length, but 30% thinner.

This guy did the actual comparisons for the point I made that the 5000 series will have way less improvement over the 4000 Supers that we already have. Heck 5070 vs 4070S could be a repeat of 4060 vs 3060.

Me personally I hate FG, I can see it and it's noticeable, I guess some are just less prone to it, I never use it, I only ever use DLSS if I absolutely have to which has been minimal on a 4090 but yes I agree it's all software trickery with a little raster bump and nothing more.

Same here, I'd rather have the real thing than fakery. First thing I did when I bought my car all those years ago, was turn off the fake engine noise. I also hate fake exhausts and so much other modern tomfoolery. Just give me good old fashioned pure raster performance.

Power needs have increased, the recomended PSU has changed to a 850w from 750w
 
Will, of course, be waiting for reviews but so far, and what some tech-tubers are saying there isn't the major generational leap thst some were expecting. Again. Coming from a 10GB 3080 I was really considering a 5080 but I'm far from impressed so far and may just end up with a 5070ti if the VRAM is the same. I play at 1440p Ultrawide 120Hz so don't need massive amounts of power.

The 4090s were cool but very whiny. The card draws more power… so scope to be even whinier!

Pretty much impossible to tell how it’ll compare… but I’m not really sure that this is a card that you’ll need to overclock tbh.

I'm looking for the kind of performance that will give me 60-100fps in 4k with ultra tracing with low FG. Do you think these cards can do it?

Exactly because this time it doesn't suit their narrative for this release lol.

I could never work out a scenario in which I would actually use frame gen.

DLSS upscaling is easier to understand, it's just a fancy/better way of turning down the resolution. Lower resolution = more (real) frames. Nothing wrong with that.

But frame gen is kind of odd. It seems to be for people who are happy with the responsiveness of 60-80fps and want the smooth presentation of a higher frame rate, but without any other benefits that normally come with higher frame rates.

If a game I'm playing is good enough to play at 60-80fps, then it usually looks smooth enough as well. If the frame rate is too low, say 30-40fps, then my first port of call is to either reduce settings or reduce resolution (via DLSS/FSR if available) depending on the specific game and circumstances.

But I can't complain about about more choice for the consumer. If frame gen's your jam, NVIDIA has got you covered.

Funny no one has mentioned a particular aspect before


When Nvidia first launch frame generation, they clearly stated it should only ever be enabled if your base frame is over 60, otherwise the experience is bad and latency high, they also said the higher the base frame rate the better your experience will be.

But when they announced MFG, they completely ignored this and showed off many demos of games running with 18-30fps base frame rate, which means getting the shown performance you'll be playing with the latency of a 20fps game...

imagine telling people 10 years ago that in 2025 PC gamers will enjoy playing games with the latency of 20fps and not only enjoying it but defending it, PC gamers 10 years ago would throw up at this console Streisand mindset of modern PC gamerzzzz

The "base" or starting fps is at native 4k. They were running using DLSS Performance. So the rendered fps will be much higher at 1080p.

If the 5090 is 20% or less faster than the 4090, then I'll only get it at MSRP and wait as many months as necessary to do it.

Vex is right though, the 5070 looks very suspicious and is most likely slower than the 4070 Super.

They’re not bad cards and the uplift will be decent if coming from an older gen like the 30 series, it’s just that if you’re already on the 40 series then they’re a bit disappointing.

Obviously a lot of cool tech went into the cooler and we'll have to see how it performs but it just looks cheap to me.
Click to expand...
Looks complete opposite to me. All the AiB cards always look cheap and the FE model from Nvidia look like more luxury/high end tbh. No stupid colilours, lights, stupid pointy bits etc.

Lucky we all get options.

That guy is funny. Apologises briefly for getting it wrong about price and will stop making presumptions, goes on to make presumptions about the performance instead.

Its like people continually need something to be outraged about.

Never owned a FE. Won't these be really hot compared to an AIB given they only have 2 fans, are very compact and have smaller heatsink?
Click to expand...
They are 2x 120mm fans I believe which are pretty large as most fans are 90-105mm ish on 3 fan design and increased diameter does a lot. At same time it is now allowed to get to 90c from 83c previous and likely won't have any overclocking potential compared to the AiBs.
 

A few things I wanted to add not mentioned in the video - A bit disappointed with the model selection from AIBs, nobody except Nvidia innovated. They all just slapped on gigantic 4-slot coolers and called it a day. -If you have an RTX 40 series/RX 7000 GPU, don't bother upgrading unless you really really want DLSS4 MFG -DLSS4 game adoption will actually be pretty decent from the get-go -You can swap DLSS version within Nvidia Drivers!!!!!!!! This is actually a pretty big deal, no longer have to download .dll files and drop them manually within game folders.
