At least 1 daughter board for I/O on the FE then!

Really is impressive how they managed to get the entire PCB that tiny. Repairability is also much better now that the display connectors and PCIe slot are separate boards on the FE. Break either an HDMI or damage the PCIe connector and you could just change those boards without affecting the mainboard as they just plug in.

Puts AIB designs to shame.

Given how far nVidia have gone to cool the 5090 FE in a 2 slot package one does wonder about AIB designs on air. Having 3 or 4 fans alone might not equate to the same performance.

People do not need to buy new cards for less intensive games though. I can hand on heart say I have never had a VRAM issue that prevented me from playing a game. Extensively modding a game falls outside of the consideration for the general gaming population as far as I am concerned, especially given that this is a choice.

I'm not sure offereing a range of 4000 Series card with with more VRAM and parity on raster performance would have been a particularly strong strategy.

When they're badly optimized, and you have a standard for performance you want to achieve, simply going at it with a faster card can make it enjoyable. And it might not prevent you from playing a game. But I'm not trying to play games, I'm trying to enjoy games. I still haven't gone through Kingdom Come: Deliverance simply because I haven't been able to reach a good balance of responsiveness-to-fidelity on my current rig, and I would rather my first experience be proper.

It's obviously a me problem, but I don't want to upgrade if I'm going to be fleeced for features I don't need and be undersold on the features I do. If I didn't need CUDA for work I really would have just gone with a 7900XTX ages ago.. Might wait and see how the 4090 fare on the second hand market.

will you actually be able to do that though...

or will all the components be locked to each other like apple phones...

This will up to Nvidia if they want to make those parts available. Would be a nice PR move if they did when it comes to repairability.

If nVidia don’t I suspect someone else would. At the most basic level, assuming it's an interconnect and not programmed otherwise, it's just a PCB containing I/O and a PCI-E connector built to a known standard and a connecting cable. Sure, nVidia could make it super propitiatory but from a complexity and performance point of view I would expect it to be an interconnect only.

Nearly MXM size. Will be interesting to see what the mobile chips look like, and how cut down they are.

Edit: Nvm, I see the 5090 Mobile is effectively a significantly-downclocked 5080/GB203-400. Probably will perform in line with a 4080 Super Desktop.

how is frame gen or dlss graphical fidelity? it's the opposite.

devs cycles are about 5 years behind graphics cards anyway.

I guess we will never see a properly optimised game ever again

I dont understand this argument. Most of the driving force behind game dev is in the console titles these days and devs will absolutely have to optimise in the console performance budget where FG and other emerging tech does not exist.

Black Myth Wukong actually does use FSR FG in it's performance mode to hit 60FPS on consoles :D

Whatever AMD comes up with as a counter to this new Nvidia MFG will 100% be in the next generation of consoles too. There's no escaping it.
