NVIDIA 5000 SERIES

[Absolutely Clueless]

All a ploy shortages rise the prices ...

It works. Every generation I see retailers list GPUs at one price, then up them several times in the days before launch. Then after the first batch sells out, they up them again. It's not until months after the cards MAY hit MSRP, from my experience. Hopefully it is different this time.

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.

I'd be wary of second hand 4090s because of the potential problems with the power connector.

Plug it in properly and don't use an adapter. Sorted.

I've had the 4090 for a year and I haven't played any recent triple 'AAA' games? There's a myth that needs squashing. There is a life outside Cyberpunk, Alan Wake 2 and Black Myth Wukong

Looking forward to the 5090, and collecting more 'RTX' features I'll never use (MFG, Hairworks RTX Hair, RTX Fur, the horrible AI face thing )

Same. I dont care though, because I can pump out 250fps on Warzone

I dont waste money on things like the cinema or buy many new clothes and things. I spend money on a good GPU, food and travel. (but mostly paying my mortgage, saving for wedding and in the near future...kids)

A grand if was selling mine but not ..

You're more happy than me to live with a weakness of the product. I'd worry about reliability and safety.

I'm glad to see that the connectors have been revised for the 5000 series.

Don't miss out RTX IO

I think it was also revised on some late 4090 models as well… tbh probably difficult / awkward to find out by publicly ask the seller. Seems a bit mean to trash the sale if the answer is ‘it has the old connector’.

Sounds like copium to me. MFG isn't extra performance - it's a motion smoothing technology with added latency. And no, all rendered frames aren't fake - that's just another "line" being trotted out on the likes of reddit by those who can't quite come to terms with the fact that the 5000 series cards are a bit of damp squib.

While all frames are fake, some are more fake than others.

 

[Nitefly]

Ah, but freedom is the freedom to say 2 + 2 frames = 4 frames.

100%

Yet you have people even on members market paying £1200+

Everyone has different comfort zones with these things I suppose.

 

[Absolutely Clueless]

It can be as fake as Katie Price (e.g. DLSS performance), so long as latency doesn’t increase, I am a happy man.

Oh ok, wasn't aware of this. That'd be a bit more reassuring. If they could be identified in a seller's listing image.

What he is saying is, he is a 4090 user and his fake frames are less fake their your 5090 fake frames

Some early thoughts on the 5090D from a Chinese review.
Summary: don't get your hopes up too much.

So in summary

* No realm improvements in the cores, any performance comes from having more of them

* the card's clocks don't boost high because its power limited - 575 watts is not enough and the GPU would like more power

* games averaged 20% faster performance without using fake frames


3nm can't come fast enough, Nvidia is cooked, this architecture has nowhere else to go, Nvidia is gassed. If RTX6000 isnt on 3nm, the 6090 will be a 1000w card

I love all the talk about fake frames could t care less if it is smooth thats all I want ..and yes my 4090 is smooth enough for now .

 

[Matthew Hunt]

Guess that's me done for. So much for Jensen on stage saying supply was good.

Supply is good for scalpers and their bots.

Have you used frame gen? If so, how's the experience been?

it's hard to judge as supposedly dlss4 has a nice jump in quality for both
