NVIDIA 5000 SERIES

Easy decision though. You already have a 4080. I have been on a 3090 4+ years where 4070Ti or lower was not worth it.

Ouch, 3090 owners haven't had the best of the last two generations, although they wouldn't be running out of VRAM anytime soon.

But the 5080 only having 16gb must be a disappointment to you as well right? Because while it's a grunt upgrade, it means a VRAM downgrade. 5080 really should have had 24gb, with all 5070 variants getting 16gb.

But well, Nvidia eh :(

Well I’m all ready to go F5 mad on release day as I need a new GPU for a new build, but I’m only interested in the FE as I refuse to pay more than that. They’re too expensive already, I can’t justify an extra few hundred quid just for fancy RGB I don’t want and a card that probably doesn’t OC much anyway.

Waiting for FE reviews but as long as it’s not a whining or excessively noisy card, I’ll get one, assuming I can get one in a basket and checkout in time.

Then I’ve just got to decide whether it’s worth waiting for the 9950X3D or not. Expensive dilemmas, I know.

Here’s hoping that both AMD and Nvidia go full on MCM next and get us some decent performance hikes rather than what feels like just an incremental increase this time around.

Yeah the vram is disappointing but the generation of tensor and other AI hardware is what I want to know about for running models - if its going to be a benefit, the same goes for if gddr7 is all its cracked up to be. I am not keen on waiting another year just for super models just for the vram.

If I didn't need to watercool the card I would have gone for an FE this time around also (Having never had an FE card before)

If those models benefit from grunt as opposed to VRAM, then I'd say it's worth the upgrade.

Can't believe you just said that. Hahahaha.

Comedy gold :D

Has there been any news on waterblocks for the 5000 series FE cards yet? i think alphacool have announced something but seen nothing else yet from anyone else. 8Gb on my 3070ti is killing me :cry:

Well the jury is still out on the cooling. They might have absolutely nailed it and no water cooling required?

Unless you really must water cool for a specific purpose?

My last two cards were FE’s and the cooling was more than adequate for my needs, and neither suffered from coil whine fortunately.

If Nvidia have nailed the cooling then it’s another nail in the coffin for some of the AIB’s as let’s face it, the AIB’s main selling points are better cooling and/or OC potential typically.

Jury is out. Remember historically it was the card will always run out of grunt before vram... :)

Yes. We said that 4 years ago but you, Tommy etc el were not having it.

Now man's run out of performance on his 3090 and downgrading to a 16GB card.

Bwahahaha :D

Not that I'm aware of. I got a feeling if a fe waterblock is released it will be a good while after release. Hope not though because I would really like a closer look at the new fe pcb design.

Can't say we didn't warn you, outwith the 90 series, now you're on zero choice congrats to all the excuses thrown up, Nvidia are PR'ing ~Blackwell saves vram

It played out exactly like I said it would-it got exposed mainstream when they grew a set under the volume of users complaining running out of vram,
:thumbsup

The new Dune game looks like it runs great on 5090..... a massive ~60fps without DLSS :cry:


So there's no hope of anything other than a 5090/4090 running that game with reasonable input latency when frame gen is enabled given that 5090 with MFG introduces +7ms on top of regular frame gen on 4090.

Game optimisation will continue to go out of the window with devs thinking they don't need to optimise because multi frame gen will give them a pass :rolleyes:

if its not a competitive online shooter then I'm fine with the devs targetting a smooth 60fps with really good image quality. yes, I know this is 60fps on a 5090 but I come from the days of Crysis when PC gamers loved that they had titles that had options to push the hardware super hard. I have 144Hz monitors and for most games I don't care much beyond 60fps

Warn me what? It was bloody obvious. We accepted it and moved on.

It was you two making excuses of how the vram was needed. We said the card will run out of performance way before runs out of vram.

Fast forward and here we are 3090 users downgrading to 16gb vram because you guessed it, run out of performance. Lol

Chefs kiss :D
