NVIDIA 5000 SERIES

You don't believe Nvidia official benchmarks? :D
And NVIDIA CEO's own words given over and over again before 5000 series were shown, that they can't speed up GPUs anymore, only AI (in short words). And here we are, new generation with pretty much identical IPC, more power for more speed, but faster AI. Exactly as Jensen said it will happen.
 

Blackwell RTX 50 architecture has lots of very interesting new features. 4th gen RT core added Triangle Cluster Intersection Engine which replaced Triangle Intersection Engine in 3rd gen RT core, Linerar Swept Spheres which accelerates RTX Hair and Fur rendering and Triangle Cluster Decompression Engine. RTX Neural Radiance Cache will see faster path tracing performance compared to RTX 40.

The problem with everything you just mentioned and the 10 other things Nvidia introduced is that they require RTX5000 hardware to operate and games to be built for said RTX 5000 hardware.

These new features in theory sound so cool, until you find out that they don't do anything if the game you're playing wasn't built to use these features. You're paying a premium for features which will have little to no adoption.. by the time RTX6000 is launched, there might be a dozen games that use one or more of these new features

Well said, and they don't make up for the lacklustre improved over RTX 4000.

Nobody cares about all these technical buzzwords if it doesn't mean anything to the player.

And then there’s new features for the 6000 series and it goes again cha ching
 
people sure do care deeply about Nvidia!

If you dont want features you wouldn't use, want a card focused on rasterisation, one that doesn't cost £2000 then rather then try and shame Nvidia into making one, surely just buy AMD instead?!
 
30-35db quoted is quite a big range - wonder if they're accounting for variations in ASIC quality/voltage on each card, or fan issues.

If it's closer to 30db, I'll get a FE, as no point having a huge Astral if it's just as loud as the FE with 4 fans.


If you're happy to under volt/lower power limit it gets event quieter

If I'm reading the chart right then

300w = 23db
350w = 25db
450w = 28db
600w = 33db


Personally 38db is where I set my limit, I'm happy with any parts in my PC as long as they don't go over 38db, anything under 38db is quiet enough for me

Whereabouts do you all think the sweet spot will be in the 5000 series SKUs in terms of price/performance?

Perhaps the 5070ti given it seems to be a scaled down 5080 still with 16Gb VRAM and just slightly less cores for ~£750?

Can't believe AIB's have the balls to charge way more than the insane engineering Nvidia put into theirs, just for using a regular size PCB and slapping a fat ass cooler onto it. I honestly think it's time Nvidia worked out a way to either ditch AIB's, or force AIB's to make exact copies of their designs while still maintaining the MSRP of the FE price.

Nvidia's R&D budget for that card will trump all the AIB Partners i'd imagine. I can't see any R&D in the AIB cards tbh, they are just 10% bigger than the 4090 cards. It's just a shame they produce them in such limited quantities. I suspect the FE cooler is actually more expensive to build than all AIB cards.
 
If the 5080 ends up matching or beating the 4090 slightly (in raw performance)… I wonder how much the used 4090 market will drop to.

Fun times ahead if you have that upgrade itch!

I still think the 4090 will be ahead in raw performance but if so it would be by narrow margins
