NVIDIA 5000 SERIES

And they are bottom of the barrel cards lol, I really didn't think any of the AIB's would be under £2300 and it's only upwards from there.

I'm curious to see how many still go for the 5090 as gamers that is, For the pro user with holes in their pockets and can make use of the extra Vram etc but for a gamer it's DOA.

I wouldn't call Zotac at the bottom of the barrel, my 4090 Amp Extreme Airo clocks pretty high out of the box at stock (2820Mhz), very quiet fans, no coil whine at all and runs pretty cool, where as the more branded ones have been noisy. This is the first GPU in many years that hasn't squealed.

Still running the stock paste and it's as good now as it was on day one over 2yrs ago.

Don't say that. Why are you hoping for our economy to go out control and for inflation to skyrocket?

Because at current rates I can't see anyone paying that kind of money for even mid range.

I would just keep what I have and just continue playing my huge library of games and play indie games.

I actually think if card prices went silly like that, new games would generally just continue to target whatever majority of people can run outside of a handful of games.

Would I see a fps increase if I just upgrade my mobo and cpu to a 9800X3D?

It depends on what resolution your playing on and whether your CPU is bottlenecking your GPU utlisation or not.. if you are seeing 100% GPU utlisation then nope.
if you were to buy a 5000 series card then more than likely your CPU will be bottlenecking your GPU.. thats if you are using the same CPU in your signature.

Not really, unless your CPU is really old. With a 3090 (I recall that is what you have?) you will likely be GPU bound at 4k.

9800x3d will give some decent boosts to 1% lows.

You are more likely to be CPU bound with a 50 series card.

Not the Amp Extreme that's over £2500 I meant the solid cards at just over £2300 list price.

My 1080ti was the Amp Extreme and that was a solid card and still the original paste after over 3 years of ownership.

Not sure which CPU you are on, but I think it is one of those old ones that have **** loads of cores, or at least it was **** loads back then.

You would see some in a handful of games, but really it is a GPU upgrade that you need. Once you have a 5090 then yes, you defo would benefit from a 9800X3D :p

I reckon you'd see a significant boost in a good number of games. My mate went from a 9900K to a 7800X3D (using a 3080) and saw increases across the board. Yes, it varied, but in Tarkov he pretty much doubled his FPS.

Very game dependent but a worthwhile upgrade if you don't mind losing the extra cores. If you got a new card you'd certainly get an uplift, but would likely see the GPU under utilised in many cases.

Sorry, unless I flip my phone to view horizontally it does not show and I completely forgot about it.

Yeah, you would definitely benefit from going to a 9800X3D. But I would do that with a GPU upgrade also.

In a perfect world. Yes I would do both but I am setting myself up for disappointment of not being able to get a 5090 FE at launch :(

Will a 1000w psu be ok to run it along with about 5 2.5 ssd attached and 3 m.2 nvme drives as well as a bunch of case fans etc?

Yes 1000w will be fine for all that. Although if you are buying a new PSU as well, or considering one, then I think 1200w is well into super duper safe for the future territory.

Should be i think.

Will you use the 5090 purely for gaming or work also?
