NVIDIA 5000 SERIES

Plenty of time for you to return to this thread and re-read said circles and complain in a circle again. It's all circling circles in a circular manner around here ;)
We are all connected. In the great circle of strife.

One thing to take into account though is the 5090 will be running DLSS4.0 which improves FPS by 15% or so even for a x2 FG vs the 4090 running the older DLSS3.0

I've started doing some benchmarks of games with DLSS off completely and no ray tracing.

It's the only way to get an idea of pure raster improvements.
 
Pretty easy to figure out the performance here. 110fps with dlss 2x on the 4090 vs 240 on the 5090 with dlss 4x.

If the 4090 had 4x frame gen, its framerate would be 220, now the 240 doesn't look so good

Be interesting to slap Lossless Scaling on top of that to give the 4090 4x too and then compare quality, latency, etc.

I've been doing that rn with some games. Works better in some than others. Latency is playable but not great. works pretty well in Alan Wake 2. Still doesn't quite reach the level that Nvidia claims multi frame gen on 50 series will though.
 
Just a bit short unfortunately so the part where it splits into three will be visible inside the case and look ugly; if it was longer it could be hidden behind the motherboard tray with the other power cables

Hope the majority of people paying £1500+ on a 5080/5090 will have a PSU with dedicated 12VHPWR and a 12V-2x6 cable. Adaptors suck no matter what.

How is it so far? I have had my eye on that one and the ATX 3.1 Corsair RM1000x. Both see. To be pretty well reviewed, but the NZXT is 200w more and slightly cheaper.

I went for the C1500 (it has 2x 12vhpwr... early rumours said the 5090 might need 2 so...) and it's good tbh. Well, it's not blown up on me ;D Not sure how to really qualitise a PSU beyond "it works" and "it hasn't exploded."

Bought this before the whole NZXT "Renting" scam.. might have gone elsewhere really...

I think that’s all you need to say, after Gigabyte’s fairly recent exploding PSU fiasco. Wow, that one is £300. I cannot justify that for a gaming only, single 5090 build. I am going to power limit the 5090 and see how i get on with my RM850x. On paper it should be ok, assuming crazy transient spikes don’t make a return.

That's a fine line there; if I run OCCT power test on my PC (specs in signature) it pulls 900w, with a 5090 it would be 1025w

With a 850w PSU, you either want to undervolt your 5090 or be very frugal with the other parts you put in your PC

Yeah... I didn't pay £300... I paid £230, but it seems to have gone up in a bunch of competitors to £260 now (glad I got it when I did)
