NVIDIA 5000 SERIES

NVIDIA reveals die sizes for GB200 Blackwell GPUs: GB202 is 750mm², features 92.2B transistors​

 
likely a 5080 maybe a ti I am annoyed that embargo is release day which makes me concerned as to how good it actually is much like games with embargos for launch day
 
Can't argue with any of this. I have just seen a used 4090 FE sell for £1,400. If only i could guarantee a 5090 FE at launch. £540 price difference and 3 weeks without a GPU? Go on then.
funnily enough i around 25 used 4090s goin for 1500 average, now a few days on and 90% of those are sold, gone, the ones that are left are the 1700+

Clearly the 4090 at 1500 is a GPU thats in demand, even the top 7 major GPU sellers have no 4090s in stock, why is that? cant be because of the impending 5090 release right?, generally a previous gen product, phone,TV, PC or car tends to stay available for some time, not sure why graphics cards are any different...
 
Is there anyone here from the gaming enthusiast side that has actually paid £1k+ for a used 4090 in the last 3 months? I’m not asking whether people have sold their 4090s, as there is clearly a market for them… I’m just not convinced that it’s a very big one, or put another way I think it must be for a niche audience. If people are mostly buying them to ship abroad or for commercial purposes, I’d expect that market to pretty much vaporise once the 50 series drops.

New 5080 for me, personally, out of those choices. Too much money and risk to gamble on second hand equipment like that. It’s bad enough buying it new! :o :p

I would pay £800 for mrk's 4090. His has extra warranty on it and i know he would help out if it went wrong.

I would not pay £1000 though. I just don't think a used 4090 is worth that. I find it surprising people buy used ones for such sums.

5080 won't be that far behind it and can be had for less than a grand brand spanking new.

People will go on about vram. But I ain't paying hundreds extra for that. Sorry, I don't play Skyrim modded...

16GB will be just fine until PS6 comes out.

The GB205 in the RTX5070 uses a smaller die size than the AD104 in the RTX4070 and they both use the same TSMC 4N process node.

It's a home cinema setup over a long time. So Oled Tv, Cinema Style Seating, surround sound, Amp and PC, also counting second screen in the bedroom I send videos too.

I don't think an expensive card is an essential though, it's just a nice to have and it holds its value really well at the top end. I could never afford £2k each generation, but +£235 a gen is managable.

The 3050 I've been using has been brilliant tbh. Final Fantasy 7 and Returnal are just like playing on my 4090 within 10% user experience (oled and HDR helps a lot). Not to sound like @mrk but I think this card may be the card I hop off the upgrade cycle, if performance gains are stagnating.

They are not available because nVidia stopped production. It's kind of obvious why also. They have a product stack for the 5000 series and thier strategy does not include cannabilising thier own 5000 series sales by continuing to offfer the 4000 series.

Automakers are exactly the same. They dont keep manufacturing an outgoing model when a new model is on sale. Why would you suffer the wide array of costs and overheads involved with offering both? There might be stock of the old model left, but when it's gone its gone. This is exactly what you are seeing with the 4000 series and why pricing is so volatile.
