NVIDIA 5000 SERIES

Based on the stats nv have released I don't see how it could be otherwise.

Oh I agree but there was something about the way he said it, as if he knew it for sure because he's already seen the numbers.

EDIT: Also I'm really bemused by his comments about not be able to confirm Nvidia's use of Liquid Metal. Surely he'd know if Nvidia had ordered a load of it from Thermal Grizzly?!

It definitely will be slower.

The 4090 is 16,384 shaders pulling 450W. The 5080 is only 10,752 shaders pulling 360W. Remember both are on the TSMC 4nm process.
 

Below are the UK MSRPs of Nvidia’s newest GeForce RTX GPUs:
  • RTX 5090 32GB – £1,939
  • RTX 5080 16GB – £979
  • RTX 5070 Ti 16GB – £729
  • RTX 5070 12GB – £539
Custom AIBs will cost £100 more. It seemed RTX 5070, RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5080 prices will be same as RTX 4070, RTX 4070 SUPER 4070 Ti SUPER and RTX 4080 SUPER prices on OCUK.

From memory, OCUK charged around £2500 for the Strix 4090. Presume it’ll be even more this time.
 
So my prediction that the very high price leaks were to jebait people in to thinking £2000, not as bad as £2500.

If you have a 4090 do you sell and upgrade for the best part of £1000? I suspect the 5080 will be only a touch slower than a 4080 and will have those extra Nvidia sauce features people love. This does make a 4090 a hard sell at anything approaching £1000.

The 50 series doesn’t really have a clock speed advantage either like the 40 had over the 30 series.

I bought an FE 4090 and put my own block on it. I can afford a 5090, I saved up for it in anticipation. But honestly if after embargo this is what it is I may give a miss :/

I think the uplift in performance is acceptable. Just not for the price. it was like 1850 or so all in for me last time.
 
I've seen a couple comments, I'm pretty sure even on here in the past week about how the 5090 is cut down and overpriced, I don't know the die size and don't remember the spec sheet, but I remember reading it and thinking that it looked absolutely fucken' buckwild bonkers? It's just too much money for me to justify especially to my family, and my friends would rip me apart... but it seems like it probably fits its price from the specs?

What were people talking about? Is it a small die or something?
The thing is and why I am not going anywhere near it and there's a few reasons at least for myself.

1. It's on the same fabrication process.
2. It's using 125w more power.
3. It has a bigger die than the 4090.
4. It has GDDR7 compared to 6x on the 4090.
5. It cost £500 more LOL.

So for allegedly 20-30% bump in performance what the hell has Nvidia been doing for R&D for the last 2 years because I am struggling to see anything at all other than Frame gen crap which I have no interest in.

As far as I am concerned this is not progress in the slightest I mean 575w for a GPU it's just getting silly stupid now, It was bad enough at 450w for the 4090 but as you can see it's just a beefed up 4090 with 8gb more ram which as far as a gamer is concerned this is pointless it's not like 24gb isn't enough on the 4090.

I don't mind shelling out my hard earned when a company deserves it but I don't see anything here without repeating myself other than more power, Slightly bigger die and faster ram that's where this little bump in performance comes from.

The way Jensen makes it sound is like it's revolutionary but forgetting to mention you might need a god damn circuit breaker to power the thing, It's ridiculous imo.

It'll be markedly slower and the only thing exclusive to 50-series is MFG.

At circa £1000 I think a lot of people would take a used 4090 over a 5080 since it'll perform better with 50% more VRAM.
 
Remember they also want room for a Super refresh. The 5080 Super will probably come in at 4090 performance next year at $999. Nvidia will claim that as a massive price cut.

Introducing MFG x20

That's right, turn 60fps into 1200fps!

Get rekt Nvidia, your MFG x4 is pathetic, how can you compete against x20 haha

All jokes aside I tried this today and its quite impressive. Set it up for my gf on her PC, she has a 3080ti and was buzzing went from like 100fps in resident evil 3 with all settings pretty much maxed out to 165ishFps hardly any latency. At least not that she can feel

Not sure what they'll do with a 5080 Ti/SUPER since the 5080 is using 100% of the GB203 die. Either they just up the memory to 24GB using 3GB modules or they'll have to make it a cut-down 5090 using the GB202 die which is a big jump to keep it at the same price point.

Isn't the 5080 the full die though? They can only give it more and faster memory

What! She wasn’t disgusted with the shimmering pixels on Nemesis’s nose hairs? Bro… does she even game?

But the 4090 is already only 25% - 30% faster than the 4080s. If the replacement to the 4080 is not actually at least 20% faster then that’s a fail. I think for this reason the 5080 must logically be touching the heels of a 4090.

Surely Nvidia aren’t giving you mediocre 5% - 10% extra performance with nothing but promises?
