NVIDIA 5000 SERIES

[SpellowHouse]

For $1500.

That's probably what the older leaks pricing was based on.

But I would rather pay more for one with the right RAM than less for one with not enough.

I'm thinking of upgrading my 3070ti to the 5070ti, depending on reviews and price. I currently run my 3070ti in tandem with a 12600K, not overclocked, and all is good. Obviously no one has hands on a 5070ti yet but is there a potential cpu bottleneck with the 5070ti? Would a 4070ti be bottlenecked by the 12600k?

I'm going to assume 1440p. I think you'd be ok for the most part, but... games are clearly getting more CPU intensive, especially the latest UE5 games. I'd expect you to be CPU bottlenecked in some of the latest releases, e.g. Stalker 2.

Ok.

Nvidia would rather you buy a 5080 now then upgrade to 5080ti in a year.

Cheers. Yes to 1440p. I think I'll also look into updating my Mobo BIOS, probably should have updated ages ago but I managed to brick a Mobo years ago during a BIOS flash, so I can use the 13th & 14th gen CPUs.

I'm usually of the opinion that if your PC works as desired, then don't mess with it. That goes for GPU drivers and bios. I think that's a bit old hat now given updates are pretty rock solid nowadays, but there is always a risk. I had to update mine earlier this week to use the 9800X3D. Seems ok so far...

Ahha so true, like the Palit chameleon one, I'm just sat there wondering how someone could make that look good is beyond me

Very curious to see those 2-fan Palit 5090s reviewed. I assume they are a traditional design in the sense the PCB is the length of the most of the card, and so it doesn't benefit from the full 5090 FE style flow through design. They could end up being pretty toasty.

The extra VRAM didn’t help the ultra expensive 3090 hold its price on the used market.

Well said sir, well said

Have a good read up on those before going ahead, there are issues that may make you reconsider.

That's because the 3080 Ti existed at nearly half the price of 3090 but only some 10% behind at a time when 12GB VRAM was enough for games, even at max settings, even Cyberpunk didn't use more than 8-10GB VRAM at the time and that was probably the biggest GPU heavy game out. Today we have a handful of games exceeding 16GB at 4K.

IMO it depends on whether you’re intending to get (or already have got) a high refresh OLED monitor. You probably won’t be making the most of that with a 30 series card.

I game on a 42 C3 Oled so it's 4k 120fps max

Half the price? I paid FE and the Ti was around £1050. Quick math - it was 75% price for half the vram. It was the worst priced product and came out later.

In which case you will hopefully max that out at native on many games.

If the refresh rate was higher, such as on the newer OLEDs, you’d have the additional benefit of that.

I may revisit it again later on, but it was just such a slow start that I lost interested. Seems I'm not the only one based on what i read online. Granted, my attention span is that of a goldfish and i'm more at home in online FPS. Having said that, I recently played all the previously Playstation exclusives (TLOU, GoT, Spider Man, etc) and really enjoyed those.

I played it all the way to the Thailand level but had to admit defeat as my 3090 could not handle it once I got there, even with Lossless Scaling FG. So my plan is to restart it with a 50 series

Thanks. Yes, I am aware of this issue. I've just been looking to see if my Mobo has an update that may, allegedly, fix it. Of course I could just consider a 12900k as I guess that'd be a reasonable upgrade over my 12600k.

That's a 5 yr olds, "My First PC" edition.

 

[Curtis vincent]

hopefully there will still be readily available FE cards by the time the block comes out.

I think there will be. I'm not sure there is as much enthusiasm this time as there was for 4090

Those don't look bad at all, very minimalistic

I'd still expect it to sell out because of AI crew but not as fast as last time, there might be a good chance to get one but honestly it's too small for my huge ass full tower case, I need at least a 3 slot

Yeah msi had a box for a 5080 with 24gb on it so probably a late change. Samsungs 3gb modules only just out so they are using it for the 5090 laptop.

I'm wondering if the 5080 was originally intended to be 24GB, especially with the 5090 moving up to 32GB, but the 3GB modules weren't available in sufficient quantity and/or would have pushed the price up too much.
