NVIDIA 5000 SERIES

The amount of Watts the high end use is a tad concerning, I'm sure a 600W GPU would have been considered a bit of a joke back in the day. What happened to the days of more performance in a lower power envelope? 600 Watt!! Over £2000, Crazy times..

I'll be undervolting that bad boy day 1. Hopefully can lose at least 100w with little performance loss.

Just wait for the 5090Ti/Titan, it's rumoured to be 800W!

Yeah, that just seems mental.

I think 250w - 350w GPU, with at least 16GB, and around £800, is the sweet spot for me. But honestly thinking of waiting it out, to see what the landscape is like in a few months, after all the launches. Not got much faith in AMD to make anything desirable either. Guess have to wait and see how it all plays out.
 
All RTX5090 3D marks scores leak out from reviewer

All scores in link below, but as a summary

* In pure Rasterization tests like Timespy and Firestrike, the 5090 is 35% faster than 4090

* In pure Ray Tracing tests, the 5090 is 39% faster than 4090

* In mixed raster+RT tests, the 5090 is 40% faster than 4090



Keep in mind 3d marks scores in general tend to be a bit better than games due to superior optimisation, so the difference between the cards in actual games may be smaller

but then another poster is saying the 4090 goes up to 600w as a good thing.
 
Literally twice as fast as a 4080 super, I'm impressed. My wallet isn't though.

It doesn’t work like that with synthetic benchmarks. A 4090 in those graphs shows about 40% to 50% faster than a 4080 Super. Yet in real gaming tests it’s more like 20% - 30%.

So a 5090 will not be literally twice as fast as a 4080 Super.

4090 has more headroom.

Those 3Dmark scores on the 4090 are based on a 450W limit where it can go up to 600W on the FE and AIBs.
5090 is 575W base where max is limited to 600W confirmed by AIBs.

No need to get defensive.

Lol. I am not defensive. I don't intend to get a 5090 nor do I own nvidia shares.

The timespy extreme score is pretty impressive by itself…. over 25k!! Phwoar.

It does a cpu test as well so you can’t scale it directly to your own hardware, but for reference I get around 10k with a 3090 and got about 19k with a 4090 when I had one.

That’s right online with the 4090 results in those graphs. So a 5090 is 30ish percent faster than a 4090.

Given the 25% increase on MSRP, not exactly amazing. Still you want the absolute fastest and don’t care about value, the 5090 is the card to get.

If money so no object and epeen is the aim, you may as well splurge the extra £500 for the few percent increase on the extreme OC models… right?

Yeah, but 5% difference is just a mild overclock ;)

I’m not sure of the point you’re making - we don’t know anything about whether these scores were using overclocked HW or not. A different cpu will also alter the score because of the multi core element of the test.

So it’s all just indicative. Not long until we have a better idea thankfully!
 
Looks like paper launch if those stock rumors are true, a few FE for the msrp of £1939 then AIB going near £3k as they are barely in stock could be on the cards.

I wonder if Nvidia stipulated to partners that they can only have 1 x 12V-2x6 as don't think anything shown had more than that, which will really limit OC.
