NVIDIA 5000 SERIES

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 think people talked on this when AMD (last gen) were supposed to be first to the multi-chip way where it was the only avenue your getting tangible increases. It looks like the wall has been hit and they all need to work out the issue or get a breakthrough moment.
 
Hey McFly, you bojo! Those hoverboards don’t work on water, unless you got POWER ahhahahah

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

Being power limited at 575w is wild. Let’s see how efficiency holds up at say an 80% power limit vs the 4090, which lost very little performance.
 
Buy a 5090 and 4K 240hz OLED as a second monitor. If your desk is big enough, that's the dream, right? Whilst the money isn't a big factor, it's still a chunk of change. Would a 5090 help speed up your work in any way? Otherwise, i think it's pretty tricky to justify spending c.£3k if you go all in.

That's what I was thinking of doing. Currently, I have an innocn 32M2V MiniLED, an amazing monitor that I use both for work and gaming. But I think I'll pair it with a 32" 240Hz OLED to fully enjoy the 5090. Do you guys have any good recommendations?
 
Interested in 5090 idle temps.
I run 30% minimum fan and with a 17c room have idle temps of 21c on my 4090.
30% fan instead of no fan as other fans are on anyway - intake, exhaust and cpu. I prefer low fans speeds all the time than constant noise changes. 3x case fans are locked at 42% (~730rpm) CPU fans are also on low noise adapters)

Might be worth browsing or asking in the monitor section... dont want a warning for de-railing the topic :D

But i will say I watched this the other day, to me it looks amazing but im not a monitor connoisseur

Slightly off topic, apologies all.

I have an AW3225QF, which I love. I use it for gaming only, so the very minor curve isn't an issue and I don't notice it at all in games tbh. I got it for £680 when it was on sale + 10% coupon + £100 AMEX cashback. I have recently tested Dell's RMA process as my unit had an issue, and it was very smooth. I know OCUK has the HP variant with a flat panel for under £800 when I last looked. If you have money to burn, the ASUS variants have the best features (lowest price for the QD OLED variant is £1000), but ultimately performance is identical whether it is the LG WOLED panel or Samsung QD OLED (give or take reflection handling, etc). Monitors Unboxed on youtube do great reviews and have looked at most of these 32in OLED monitors.

Yeah I was thinking about the asus PG32UCDM, but I started a thread in the monitor section. Sorry for the OT

I'm very interested in 5090 temps in general, after that Chinese reviewer saying it is power limited at 575w, hence the lower clocks. How can it be power limited at 575w. If you can't power limit/underclock it like the 4090 then i think that may be the nail in the coffin for me. The 4090 already chucks out enough heat in the summer at 350w.
 
Have you used frame gen? If so, how's the experience been?
Personally I think Frame Gen is great, but it depends on your use case. Obviously works wonders for single player games, although I was fiddling around yesterday with COD BO6 and at 4k high settings, with FG on I get just over 100fps but latency is 65. With FG off I get 85fps but latency is 20. Clearly latency is bad with FG enabled. To my eyes there's no difference with image quality.

Most people would say leave FG off in a fast paced first person shooter, but to me it doesn't make a great deal of difference with the amount of kills I get on or off. It probably matters most to competitive twitchy sweats who play at 1080p low settings on a 240hz monitor. I play for fun and don't care about my score.

I agree with you that the image quality is ok, but the latency is truly awful. Or i'm just very sensitive. It feels terrible with it enable in any first person game, no matter how high my base fps is. On the flipside, it really is magic in MSFS 2020/2024. Works very well.
 
I'd be wary of second hand 4090s because of the potential problems with the power connector.
Are we having this discussion again even though some of us have had 4090s since release day without issue.

I thought it was common knowledge that 99% of the melting cases we saw were all Cablemod which I did try to warn users about almost day 1 those adaptors were released to the market and got banned from their Reddit

Guess who's laughing now it was 100% true.

If users got a decent cable instead of the Cablemod filth we wouldn't have even been having this discussion about melting connectors.

Edit....

Forgot to say if we are going that route I know which connector I'd be more comfortable with 450w Vs 575w (Cough)

I was also confused about the discussion about the cable on the 4090, i too haven't had one single problem since day of release and i thought all that was debunked with the gamer nexus video etc..
Wasn't it also people just not pushing it in correctly?
I guess people like to hold onto old news regardless on whether its true or not
