NVIDIA 5000 SERIES

From a 4090 owner I think this rounds a miss and I will wait for the '6000' series.

Given that the 5000 series based on the same process and architecture as the 4000 series with some tweaks, and consequently they've had to go 'all out' on the 5090 to put enough difference between it and a 4090 to even start to justify the well over £2,000 price most will be paying for a 5090 in the UK...

512-bit bus (when was the last time even a top stack consumer GPU had that?), 32Gb of the fastest RAM and a frankly slightly worrying thirst for power.

6000 series will hopefully allow NVidia to bring the power consumption back down.

There was enough drama with the new(ish) power connecter we had with the 4000 series... is that 575w TDP going to contribute to some further issues this time around?
High-5.
 
Can someone please remind me if you need an Nvidia store account (separate from geforce experience account) to buy an FE card here in the UK. I can't recall what i did two years ago and nvidia says my email has no attached account. Not to mention there is no 'create account' page.
 
Apologies if this has been covered already. But is running a 5090 on a PCIE 4.0 mono going to cause a huge reduction in performance do you think?

PCIe development is mostly for storage, that’s why extra bandwidth is being added, it’s not been about GPUs for a while now.

To answer your question though, PCIe Gen4 will be enough for these cards.

Unless it has changed FE cards are fulfilled through an OcUK competitor in the UK, for fastest results you need a logged in, payment method verified, account with them, though you can do express check out with some payment methods.
 
It is true I cba with the 5090 as a 4090 owner, but the 5090 Ti/Titan as described in the earlier video.... yeah sign me up for that, an actual upgrade under all conditions there.

As long as you realise and are happy that In all likelihood the 5090ti/Titan has described in said video would be an 700+ watt GPU

My HX1000i PSU may need an upgrade, though the rest of my build hardly sucks power so a single GPU drawing 700W should be more than enough with my 12700KF I think. If I need a new PSU then so be it :p

Would you pay £3-3.5k for that? What would you use it for? I assume not just gaming.
"Yes" is all I can say to that :p

Fair play, no judgement from me!

Speaking of PSUs, i’m hoping my trusty RM850x can power a 9800X3D and 5090. Should be ok if the 5090 is as efficient as the 4090 and I can run it at 80% or so. I will at least try it before upgrading.
 
I'm AM4 and don't wish to change due to how much it cost to build in Covid.
I currently have a 5900X with a 3090 Suprim X

What would be my logical next move? Would a 5080 be the best or a used 4090 from the folk moving up to 5090's? (I don't think I can stomach spending over £2k again)

(I game at 4k on a 42 LG OLED. Max is 120fps)
 
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.

Looking back, at +$300 for future proofing vram the FE was a bargain, unlike most of Ada series, it can still run ultra textures in 2025!

Today Nv wants +$1000 for double the vram because they know 16Gb isn't enough@4K on some games already released.

There will probably be some videos post release about how even PCIE 3.0 x16 won't do that much to harm performance 4090 was circa 3% drop on PCIE 3.0 x16

3DCenter's (fallible) performance forecast for the GeForce RTX 50 series (4K raster, no DLSS/FG)



4090 ➡️ 5090 +34-41%
4080S ➡️ 5080 +13-19%
4080 ➡️ 5080 +16-22%
4070TiS ➡️ 5070Ti +10-16%
4070Ti ➡️ 5070Ti +20-27%
4070S ➡️ 5070 +3-11%
4070 ➡️ 5070 +19-29%

I like this forecast :D

34-41% increase in raster is perfect, makes the 5090 a definite buy

Fingers cross this translates to reality...

What do you mean by PCI-E 4.0 Mono? As in a 1x slot? I dont think you can get full length 1x lanes to physicaly even fit a GPU in, unless you are using one of those mad adaptors.

A PCI-E 4.0 16x slot is not going to cause any notable performance bottlenecks.
 

A Redditor has counted the pixels in the Nvidia slides(!) and estimated around a 35% increase across the stack.

Got to love silly season eh :D
