NVIDIA 5000 SERIES

Brilliant news. Those with 40 series can go away and let us peasants with 30 series or lower to easily buy a 50 series gpu.

Seriously do some of u lot in upgrade every gen?

More likely 4070 owners will go for 5080's, 4080 owners will go for 5090's and 4090 owners will get 5090's anyway because they want the best everytime and won't be able to stand going for 2 years with a second tier card

Some no doubt will and that is probably Nvidia’s plan but I’d be more inclined to think the majority of people on the 40 series would skip this gen.
 
I think it's very clear that the 5xxx series is aimed at those on 3xxx or below GPU's, for NVidia anyone on a 4xxx series upgrading is simply a bonus. I'd say even those on the 3xxx series want to consider if they need to upgrade, if the games they play are at acceptable framerates with almost everything on max settings then I'd strongly consider holding off.

I do wonder if the 5xxx series might be short lived and we'll end up with 6xxx series sooner than expected, there are rumours circulating of them bringing the launch forward although these seems more likely with the ranges intended for datacenters.

Yea, i remember reading rumours about the next architecture coming sooner than usual. I wonder if they would have enough capacity for 2nm 60 series. Probably not :(

I would imagine this as well.. if all the performance numbers prove to be correct then there is very little reason for anyone to upgrade the 5000 series unless you are going from a lower tier 4000 series to a high tier 50 series. Unless of course you use the card as a workbench card for example and then the 32GB Vram will be the appeal in that case.
Don't get it twisted though, all of the 5000 series line up will sell out upon release very quickly whether thats to people upgrading or unfortunately scalpers.

I assume as well that included in whatever Overclockers and others buy in stock, they have to put some aside for there pre-built systems and some orders that will come in for customs etc... and maybe for any faulty ones as well that they need to replace? Unsure on this last part.

Not being reactionary, I think a ~30% uptick in traditional rasterization is not bad, per se. 4090 owners would still want to upgrade.

Any one holding a 4-series below a 4090, however, would be a harder sell. I know if I had a 4080/Super, it's highly unlikely I'd be looking to move to a 5080.

30% uplift thats only with RT

no one knows the traditional rasterization uplift yet

30% is ok on the face of it but don’t forget these cost 25% more so in real terms it’s a 5% bump in price to performance.

Actually it's 18% more expensive comparing launch MSRPs (£1649/£1939) so that's 10% more bang-for-buck (1.3 / 1.18) but yes your point is well taken :)
