NVIDIA 5000 SERIES

I bet the ocuk staff will get one..

I was thinking of getting a 5080, but I'm going to see what the reviews are like first and the fact it only has 16GB really irks me. At the moment I feel like I'm going to wait and see if they do bring out a 5080 super/TI with more memory, I would be happy with 20GB! I paid £1200 for my 7900XTX 2 years ago and I felt a little ill paying that

 

[Nitefly]

Yes I doubt any forum member will be able to get one

Nah! I’m going to get one at launch! I’ll be first. Gibbo is going to give it to me by hand in a ceremony, of which you’ll all be there, applauding. I’ll then drive / fly off in a car like in the end of Grease.

Got to think big, realise your dreams!

So basically Nvidia are operating like Rolex, Louis Vuitton and other designer items. Limit the production to create artificial hype and inflate the price? Super lame

 

[Capitano]

Not when they are pre scalped it isn’t. At this point trying to argue a 5090 is going to be better price/perf than a 4090 as some sort of “bonus”, is like arguing a punch in the face is better than a kick in the balls.

At least if anyone is going to buy a 5090 for £2,500, just own it.

I was talking purely about RRP prices, but yes if you take into account resellers then the entire market is just a mess

In my eyes even paying anything over 8/900 for a pc component seems ridiculous

The difference between £50 a day on electricity with a 5090, and a £55 for a 5090 and AC unit is minimal. Go for it.

What? £5 a day is not a big difference? That's almost 5090 a year in bills difference alone! I have much more interesting ways to spend monies than buying 5090 every year and throwing it away instantly.

Unless you are some developer or someone who needs it for production/work. The 5090 is not needed if you are just going to game. The 5080 is more than enough, remember the the 3060 is the most popular card on steam.

After all it's all your money, if you can afford it then go for it.

 

[Tinek]

I feel like the 5090 would be much easier to attain than people think, if those prices are real.

Is there really much of a market for 4090 owners spending $2500 for a 40% improvement upgrade?

No but 4090 owners aren't the target anyway. It's the 3090 or 2080Ti owners that are targeted with this as an upgrade. And it works as these people specifically post a lot on various forums about their plans to buy 5090 as an upgrade. 4090 owners not so much (as it's more like 4090Ti than actually new card).

No thanks, I'll take the 5090. Otherwise, how would I inflate my ego?

Honestly, nVidia's MSRP is about my limit (it's more than what should be acceptable tbh). I ain't paying a penny over £2k. If my only 5090 option is paying more, then I'm either gonna skip this generation or just settle for a (air quotes) 5080 (air quotes) ... though dropping from an 80 class card to a 70 class card would irk me a little.... so maybe just skip the gen.

Only go for the FE then as i doubt any AIB is going to be be 2k or below

Not so fast, this may be correct, but the top 3 most popular games on Steam are CS2, PUBG and DOTA2, all of which have a recommended GPU range that are DX11 compatible or above so will run on any potato.

What I am saying is that this statement doesn't fly in 2025 when the latest games now start to require hardware RT or other DX12 features so a 3060 isn't going anywhere near that level hence all the crying on steam forums when such a game launches.

I still remember buying Vega 64 liquid from ocuk for, at that time, very high amount of monies and feeling weird when all previous GPUs I got were at most 1/3 of that price. You get used to it and then even 3k might feel ok. But then you feel the literal heat and start having doubts (at least in my case). xD

Well leaks say 23%-26% uplift over the 4090

The gainz will be in the RT performance.

Maybe that's the reason why these games are never in top 10 of sales and player numbers (usually have pathetic numbers of concurrent players on steam)? I've checked quite a few recently, most of them look indeed pathetic in comparison to the actual popular games.

Suddenly the script has flipped and it is about raster power. Was all about RT not long ago

 

[mrk]

Raster is irrelevant in 2025.

We won't see this until 2027 once the PS6 launches and RT becomes the norm. Remember all these new games still need to work on Xbox/PS5 and those consoles are super underpowered.
