NVIDIA 5000 SERIES

Am I an idiot for thinking i could just walk into a shop, hand it over, and leave with £1k? I guess so.

I’ve done this today they test it after you leave and call you if there’s any issues. I handed mine over at 1pm today and had an email by 430pm that it was all good and the money will be bank transferred which should be in my account by tomorrow!

A 1600 quid 4090 bought two years ago is now looking like a great investment. Two years worth of usage thus far and will probably hold almost all of its value for at least another year at this rate.

As I said earlier, in years to come the 4090 will be regarded like the 1080Ti was.

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

The other thing is that if they were really that good, NVidia would've rubbed it all over our faces on their presentation but they only focused on MFG and AI, mentioning little to nothing about new fancy things. Ergo, real-life speedups will likely be too small to put on big PR poster - good to have, nothing ground breaking. That's my take from their behaviour so far, at least.

This. There's a gigantic gap between the 5080 and 5090 now. The 5090 is too expensive and probably overkill for most and the 5080 is...too expensive full stop. It's pretty much an upsell strategy at this point, mainly because of the lack of VRAM for the price.
Those of us who were hoping they might be able to pick up a heavily discounted 4090 are between a rock and a hard place.

Yeah its a shame, but nvidia clearly knew what they were doing with this pricing.

6-12 months down the line there will be a 5080ti or 5080 super priced at 1500

1080ti and 4090 are the only times I've splashed out on the most expensive gpus. Both made sence to me.

I got 1080Ti quite a bit later, second hand - still lasted me few years more and sold well afterwards anyway (I actually gained monies on that very old GPU by then!). I am skipping 5k series all together, but I might be tempted to try 9k from AMD, as it so far shapes to be a very good one for the price and I am curious to see what improvement they did with RT etc.

I was kinda petrified at the time i bought it. Made the purchase when I randomly saw the FE in stock, and asked myself questions after. It's been a glorious 2 years, I must say.
 
5080 should have been really called 5070Ti and priced £749.

The real 5080 should have been a good 20% faster with 24GB for £999.

Then nvidia would have been getting applause rather than the current reception online.

That uses 125w less don't forget lol.

The 4090 is a beastly undervolter; you can cap its power draw down to 350w and lose no performance, then its 225w less than the 5090. We'll see if the 5090 can also undervolt, I hope so

Ironically if you undervolt a 4090 down to 350w, its 1) using less power than a stock RTX5080 and 2) its still faster than a RTX5080 :cry: That tells you all you need to know about Blackwell doesn't it

It is, I did run it at 80% for a few months for testing until until I realised the crappy Inno paste had all pumped out after 2 months and stripped it down to slap some PTM on the die and been right as rain since 2 years later lol just never bothered undervolting again since because it runs way cooler with the PTM even at going flat out haha.

Same for me although I fell for the illusion of SLI and got two. My lad still uses one of the 1080tis in his computer and the other is in a secondary rig.

Seeing how the 1080ti in his computer compares to my 4090 with the exact same games but at slightly lower resolutions is very interesting. The 1080ti can still play the majority of games but obviously with a lot of the settings dialled down and at a much lower refresh rate. He's still innocent so doesn't know any better :D.

Would have made the 5090 a tough sell at 2000 quid though.

As it stands I think the 5070ti at $750 while not amazing either is probably the sensible option this gen assuming you can get one for that price.
