NVIDIA 5000 SERIES

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 :)

Don't forget the extra power consumption factors in too. It's not like these are more efficient than 40 series, they certainly are not whereas 40 series is more efficient than 30 series for power.

Well the 30%-ish may not be the whole story. With memory bandwidth up 78% and possibly a similar increase in RT performance, the jump could be significantly more in RT heavy titles at 4K resolution.

Yeah but it's a £2000 minimum. Based on price alone it's a disaster for pc gaming in general. It could have double the power and it would still be a disaster.

Absolutely right on there. A paltry 5% improvement in price/performance which, without doing the math, must be literally the worst of any generation ever. Oof.

Probably the worse in terms of the top card although the 1080ti > 2080ti was also very underwhelming.

I mean, at least you could say that the 2080 Ti introduced some meaningful new features. DLSS support alone eventually gave it a big win over the 1080 Ti, even if it wasn't that way at launch since early DLSS was terrible. All we're getting this time is a slight improvement to an existing feature that was of arguable value in the first place.

Given the way the pound is behaving, that £1939 could soon turn to £1999….

The only 1999 I want to see when it comes to graphics cards is the year. $300 for a DDR GeForce 256, and I was playing games with an integrated ATi Rage Pro that used 8MB of the system RAM, and couldn't have been happier...

I was all set to grab a 5080 but if that's all they can muster then I'm not so sure now. A 2nd hand 4080/4090 seems a much better buy, but I'll be waiting for reviews to see what's what.

Help us AMntel, you're our only hope! And yes, they should combine, because Arc needs a ridiculous X3D CPU to perform it's best.

I'm seriously thinking about getting a second hand 4090 instead of a 5080 at this point. The 5080 sounds so unexciting. I need to upgrade but it's a tough choice. Depends on used 4090 prices but I don't think they'll be low enough for me.

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.

In all honesty I don't know what some people expected, I mean it's so obvious to see when it's on the same node, Can't expect miracles when the tech isn't there, The reason the leap was the biggest I've known from 3090 to the 4090 is because the process node literally halved from 8-10nm I think it was on the 3090.

This uplift was the main reason I jumped on the 4090 from the 3080 even though the 3080 was still quite playable other than when it ran out of Vram (Thanks Nvidia you stingy sods!)

We won't see that sort of uplift again for a long time I don't think unless when the time comes to move to new different technology for producing chips.
