These prices are wild. The markup for those waterforce variants is mental. Dreading to think what the 5090 will cost.

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.

Such as?

Not surprised about the mark up, every place will do it i bet.

I saw the Aorus Master cooling marketing could indeed be up there with the others, but are we going to get breakdowns before launch?

Yup should get it a day before

You should have seen what happened with the 9800X3D, it's about +25% since launch since all the retailers just decided to jack up the price

If the highest tier 5090 is only €479 over the FE MSRP I'll consider it a win

These are probably still placeholders I imagine, but yeah crazy, you can expect the waterforce 5090 being £2500+ easy

Given the price, size, and level of engineering that goes into the founders edition, why would anyone buy one of these? Watercooling? Availability at launch? Perhaps a slight improvement in noise or temps?

Over here I couldn't find a founders 4090 until... never, I don't think bb ever managed to get stock. 3 months in, I settled for a AIB 4080.

Maybe it's different over there?

agreed

The 5090's 66% increase in RT performance is interesting.

Huhh? This was FE prices.. But remember there was no 3080 12GB FE version, just a made up MSRP that was really $1000+ for the AIBs versions that only sold. Real world prices of all these cards in AIB versions was nowhere near msrp.. 3090s were selling at one point on retailers sites for over £3k.. even on this very forum shops site as we saw back then.

All i want to know, will they run Crysis ?

Not if they enable full path tracing for it, will be like 5 FPS and will need DLSS 4 MFG to magically make it do 200 FPS.. :cry:

But still feel like 5 FPS to play... but will look smooth and show high frames on that important frame counter that everyone seems to stare at while gaming.

Seems there was some light confusion on model designation! but also USD is/was not the same as GBP!

Ok.

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

Correction, Nvidia would rather you buy a 5080 now, then later get FOMO over a 24GB 5080ti, sell the 5080 to buy a 5080ti and act like the upgrade somehow didn't cost that much, since the sale of a 5080 somehow offsets a lot of the cost.

It's the patented double-dip, they got it working for 4090 and are trying it for 5090.

Because getting an FE card is incredibly difficult. You can either stalk the Nvidia website for 5090 FE stock for months, or just pay £200-300 more i'm guessing for an entry AIB card and have it sooner.

And look forward to every website not being able to handle the traffic so you can't even place an order anyway.

Nvidia just announced no FE cards for Australia either

It's all relative, native RT/PT performance is so low on any GPU that 66% faster makes little real world difference, in Cyberpunk 4k with PT on, 66% gets you an extra 8 to 10fps

Let's stick to 50% for example sake.

20fps, with performance DLSS will give you around 40 fps as it tends to about double it. then you add FG to 40fps.

50% increase means 30fps base, 60 fps DLSS performance and you add FG. To that.

Huge practical difference.
