NVIDIA 5000 SERIES

As expected with no node shink it's very underwheming with an even more rubbish price increase. You can see by the power increase it's very much the same architectue they have stuck with and a bump in everything that matters. If Nvidia brought this at 4090 pricing i doubt many woud bat an eyelid. There is literally no bump in price performance v the 4090 which is terrible as top end gaming which seems to be getting further away every gen for those that ain't rich or with some common sense. On an engineering front with no node drops i am sure it's a great leap and impressive.

It's ok though as we all game on $10k battlestations. Lucky if i got a Grand for mine lol. Maybe with a good hoovering out.

I wonder if the A.I can get to a point to auto adjust volts.
If the machine learning can work out frames so quickly, maybe it's possible that it can drop the volts when needed.
Maybe even if they machine learn together and create an online data base for what games require what power at certain stages in the game, so that it avoids any stutter from quick changes.

For instance I game 4k and 120fps is my max.
Maybe on those games if it can generate more, it can just lower the volts to save on energy, heat and the lifetime of the components.
Also Auto frame generation whereby if you max a set power requirement the card can dynamically set if Grame generation is required and by how much in order for best quality and energy consumption based on the users fps requirements.


I thought Nvidia said rtx5000 had some new power optimizations but I guess it's not this. If a GPU can auto adjust to the lowest possible stable voltage for a given framerate that would be awesome, imagine how much power globally that would save
 
This is a really good unique revierw that touches on things that otehrs have not!!


@TNA @Noxia @mrk


Were in the age where CPUs now bottleneck GPUs at 4k

And no one can claim Steve from HUB did not predict this because he's been shouting from the roof tops, everytime someone claimed that testing CPus at 1080p was pointless, now those people who listened to Steve would have better performance at 4k on a 5090, and those who didn't listen will suffer from lower framerates at 4k as a result

I was just watching this also. Sound doesn’t too far off 4090 but some other reviews suggest otherwise?
 
Not if you post it back as a gift
50/50 they'll catch it, lots and lots of experience here. And nowadays very real possibility of it getting "lost" (and insurance cost will negate money saved). You still need to declare on value and if you're not truthful and it's caught, you'll pay thousands.

Yea i learned the hardway. i currently use a trheadripper 3960x and thought no GPU will get bottlenecked by a 24core beast. Well i was wrong and now i am waiting for a 9950x3d cpu to come out....

Because the temperature and acoustics test is frankly, pointless. Nobody games for 3x 60 second runs in an open system to objectively measure noise and heat.

In a closed case after a few hours the laws of thermodynamics must be obeyed. That heat goes somewhere and that means massive heat to dissipate into your case and room. You will be like an extra from it ain’t half hot mum (showing my age here). If you have an air cooled CPU, it will not be remotely happy.

I'm CPU bottlenecked in quite a few games I play. Turns out hitting 240fps at 4k requires a monster CPU, who knew?!.
Even the 9800X3D cannot do it in every multiplayer game I play. I will happily turn down graphical settings and use DLSS performance in a fast paced game to get close to 240fps on the GPU side, but there is zero scaling in games on the CPU side. Hence my slightly odd decision (to many) to upgrade from a 7800X3D to 9800X3D.

Sorry but that’s the honest truth.
Using a 5090 FE and an air cooler is a non-starter.
Computer base has a great chart in their review which showed the 9800X3D running c.20c higher when using a 5090 FE over the 4090 FE.

Yeah I have an aio but exhaust at the top. I’ll have to move it to the front and be intake if I did get one as the hot air from that fernace would affect it I would imagine?

Gaming is more about having enough fast cpu cores/threads to push the gpu. What you have is loads of cores that can't keep up and most likely underutilized. Remember Intel with 4 ccore 8 threads were still the kings of gaming with half the cores and threads when Rysen arrived. I would say 8 to 12 cores are still what you need gaming wise but i am betting you never bought a threadripper to simply game.

Reading between the lines HUB essentially said in their review to not bother considering getting a 5090 if you don't have a 9800x3d.

Honestly, even with a 4090 it made a huge difference for me. Couldn't actually believe to what extent it helped vs the 5950x I had previously.

I do it with performance car parts quite often, got a friend in SC who sends stuff over for me.

Nope i diddnt.

I do productive work on my computer and it is amazing for that
 
We can't really evaluate what the (high end) average gamer should or shouldn't buy until the 5080 reviews tbh. Even if the difference is fairly big, so to is the price.

We only have half the equation at the moment.
