Probably most of it, Blackwell is more power hungry than Lovelace to the point where their datacentre GPUs are even overheating. The reason behind the higher power consumption seems to be the extra AI acceleration hardware they've added in.
This is why I'm kinda doubting the architecture's improvement when it comes to gaming performance. Apart from the usual small IPC increases, most of the extra improvement seems to be geared for AI and not rendering graphics. Jensen didn't mention gaming performance a whole lot either, he spent more time talking about AI capabilities and DLSS features.

Your right £1910 launch day Gigabyte OC for me (I cancelled it).

Mate do you really expect users to plug cables in all the way without a visual indication? Madness.

I like that design. It is tempting. Is Zotac still seen as a budget brand? I wonder if they will do the 6 year warranty again.

I'm not a fan of the open backplate behind the die. Makes it more awkward to put your anime waifu figurines on top.
Plus there's not a single dragon on that card.

It'll be a total gimmick as I'm betting the light is triggered by contact of the sense pins which was never the issue. The problem was the sense pins could make contact before the connector was fully seated.
AIUI, the 12V-2x6 connector has made the sense pins shorter to ensure full power can't flow unless the connector is fully seated, rendering any such lights completely redundant.
Zotac used to get a lot of stick for being a bit budget but I had a Zotac 1080Ti and it was a great card.

I just checked my invoice and my launch-day Inno3D 4090 was £1770 inc VAT and shipping.
If it helps, I could buy a 100 RTX5090's in cash if I want to, since this is now the discussion
Yeah, if you sold your house (or your parents)
In RL be lucky if you get just one based on all your posts lately

Perhaps we could do a gofund me for Grim5 so he doesn't miss out

Going on past Nvidia history, can any of you geeks give a decent prediction on when the 80 class Super and Ti variants will come out after the initial release?
There's a huge gap between the 5080 and 5090 that is obviously going to be filled with a 5080 Super, 5080Ti/ 5080Ti Super. I'm on a 3090 and if the 5080 is equivalent to a 4090 in raster then I'm very tempted but not sure I can stomach going down to 16Gb Vram from 24. 16GB is already being reached in some stuff I play (I play VR too by the way). A 5080 Super with ~20GB for c£1200 could be nice though.....

Having skipped a couple of Gens, I think a 5090 will be coming my way. Damn that price though

Hopefully you do get the 5090. Would help getting your active here again I would imagine. Good banters lie ahead if it is anything like before

People moaned about the 4090 during its launch and the same people who did, bought it...

Is spending £2300 on a gpu that can last 4 years(if u skip a gen) good value for money?
