NVIDIA 5000 SERIES

Memory thermals looking terrible on the FE. That thing is going to turn into a rocket ship. Think I’m happy with my 7900XTX for now and maybe I’ll just wait until AMDs next iteration of it.

Willikers, I just saw that in the GB review. 90c is too hot to be running mem for long periods.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Would be good to have the option of a beefier cooler for better temps/less noise. I wonder why nVidia pushed the limits so hard to get a 2 slot card.

Agreed, bizzare.

To be expected really considering how condensed the pcb is, like a large hot-spot in itself.

I noticed that as well. Getting 3090 flashbacks.

 

[mrk]

Great news. Means my 4090 will retain a bit more value

TNA said they would be under £1000 after 50 series launch though

 

[Vertigo]

Soooo really, where is this 4090 is the "bestest value" coming from?

The original 4080 and the 4080 SUPER are totally different kettles of fish.

In the original launch line-up, where the 4080FE was £1199 (actually £1269 for the first couple of months), the 4090 was easily the best bang-for-buck card.

With the launch of the 4080 SUPER which, whilst only a bit faster, was significantly cheaper at £959, that card became the best value.

 

[keyser van someone]

The 5090 FE cooler feels like a backwards step, cost cutting, what happened to bigger = better !? Slightly more efficient design but not offset enough to warrant louder fans.

+5db! https://www.techpowerup.com/review/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5090-founders-edition/41.html

And so ends my review of the card I will never own

 

[Chrisc]

Over 500W? Holy hell

 

[Kanpai]

Bought a 4090 last week for £1250 with 18 months warranty. Think I probably got a top tier deal all things considered

 

[Capitano]

I went from 3060ti to 4090. 300% ish Uplift.

Fair enough, but people who tend to buy 3060 level cards rarely upgrade big time like that

Yeah well priced all things considered now.

 

[Capitano]

Yep so, which card is going to see the biggest drop in value? Does that mean the 5080 price will be cut in half at least also?

The 90 series cards will probably always be somewhat okay keeping price just because of their large number of cuda cores and VRAM. its probably the mid and low tiers that get the biggest drops % wise

 

[Vertigo]

That is a head scratcher for sure, especially since SLI has been dead for many years now and so it doesn't really matter how fat that one expansion card you have on your mobo is. It's just aesthetics really... maybe that's why.

Aesthetics is also a hard sell when most people seem to think the 40-series cards look better, myself included.

Because they want a small form factor card. And the FE is the only one out there.

 

[Raiden85]

I wish reviewers would drop 1440p testing as it's mostly pointless, with 4090 class and faster GPU's, it's really time to stop benching these cards at less than 4K as they just aren't made for such a low resolution and the CPU's can't keep up.

The FE card is a bit noisy while gaming, so techpowerup lowered the fan speed slightly to a more tolerable 35db which is a standard fan noise level

Guess the temps?

85c on the GPU core
96c on the memory
100c+ on the hotspot? Who knows, Nvidia blocks the hotspot sensor on the 5090 from the user haha


Funny enough these temps are almost exactly what I predicted a few weeks back, just by applying some estimation based on the TDP and cooling solution. I expected around 83c on the core, so its actually slightly hotter than I expected

And remember, these temps are inside an air conditioned room. If you test the card in the middle of Summer with no AC, add another 10c to these numbers

 

[Rob_B]

nah, just ignore them if you don't need them.

completely agree, using a 90 class card to do 1080p and 1440p is pretty much completely pointless. Nobody is buying those cards for those resolutions unless they're playing super competitive FPS
