NVIDIA 5000 SERIES

So I'm kind of whelmed here. I'm just gonna say it, this is isn't sexy enough performance for 4 grand. I'm glad it's uninspiring. I'm gonna sell the 4080 and pick up a 4090 I believe
 
have to say good luck to everyone who gets one of these. Cant wait to read about your experiences with your new cards ..
 
And for anyone wondering about PSU requirements

I know a few people here have said they plan on using a RTX5090 with their 850w PSU, yeah dont do that.

A couple reviewers tested PSU's and if you use this card with a 850w PSU your PC will crash


Further power testing. RTX 5090 power usage can spike up to 900watts

Umm so a 1000w psu is not recommended anymore?
 
Plenty of people; even on this forum, you'll find plenty of posts suggesting that almost any CPU is fine for 4k high refresh gaming
That's because the usual deal was that 4k meant about 60fps, it was hard or impossible to have more. Or the display wouldn't be faster than 60hz. Getting 60fps isn't really hard, getting 150-200fps is.

Wait until the 5080 releases. Even if slower than a 4090 by 10%, it will still drive used 4090 prices down. That’s just a fact and buying a used 4090 post the mediocrity of the 5090 would be impulsive.
 
One of the biggest disappointments with the game for me - it would have been the perfect showcase for a proper ray tracing renderer, that and seeing how low quality a lot of the trees are if you look at them close up.

That could also be out of vram potato mode, that the Hogwarts engine reverts to cope with limitations :p
 
I was never going to spend £2k - 4K on a single peice of hardware.
From what I have read and watched this is going backwards for all I care.

It was only like 10 years ago people would slate a GPU with higher power requirements then previous generations AMD got slated a lot more than nvidia in this bracket.


Now people are happy to throw this amount of money at a 500w/600w even spiking to 900w

Wow... What ever happened to pushing the envelope on reducing power and gaining performance?

I guess we just live in mad times now.

That is my view on this generation.
 
this is one of the least impressive graphics card release I can think of in recent time. I think the 4000 series spoilt us with the performance over the 3000 series. The new 5090 is barely 30% faster that not good at all not for that crazy price of £2000+
5090 = 4090 Ti
5080 = 4080 Super Ti

The end

basically, this sums up 400+ pages

It's 900w in total for the whole system. The card doesn't go above 575w
