NVIDIA 5000 SERIES

SO what would u do in my case with a 3090? wait for 6090?

Is the 5080 100% better than the 3090?

What a bargain guys. $6200 for an Astral 5090

 

[Steve Bruce]

15% isn't it? The 30% leak was right so sure this will be.

It shouldn't be compared with the 4080, it should be the 4080 Super which had the same msrp. I think it's 5-8% difference, which could be what the poster was refering to.

An improvement, but not a huge improvement. See relative performance of 4080 super vs 3090 in 4k. 5080 will be single digit % points better than a 4080 super.

It's ultimatly up to you and if you feel it's worth it. Does it feel sluggish when playing new games?

If it feels like it's still a fast enough card for you for what you play or use it for, then I would wait until the refresh and see if there's a 5080ti with more vram or wait 2 years for the 60 series which is more likely to have a big uplift over this as the process node will be better. I personally wouldn't be in a rush unless there's a big reason why you want to change your card.

I think the different is like 1-2% or something isn't it? The main difference was £200 less off the RRP.

5080 will be a decent upgrade from 3090, without ‘busting the bank’ like a 5090 upgrade.

If you have a high refresh rate 4k monitor, you can potentially benefit from the MFG tech on the 50 series. If you don’t have a high refresh rate 4k monitor or have no interest in the MFG you would get less of the benefits.

Maybe wait for reviews and see.

It could be, it probably depends on what benchmarks have been run, some might be 1/2% others a bit more.

Totally agree mate

I was looking at the 5080 FE as an upgrade from my 4080 FE if it was 30% plus increase. But not now I think I'll either look for a second 4090 FE or wait another 2 years and see what the 6080 or 5080ti might look like. But even when they announced the 5080 when I heard 16GB ram I was thinking sod that

Exactly my thinking. And to the previous poster who said they hoped the 5080 would be far better in power draw, yes it will. Probably considerably better.

But that will also scale with performance and with only 16gb of VRAM, my opinion is 100% identical to yours.

 

[Vertigo]

So

3090ti - 4090 60% average gains
3090 - 4090 73% average gains (my last upgrade)

4090 - 5090 27% average gains

I'm out

Basically the 4090 was too good and has hampered the 5090, relatively speaking.

Hence why I said the 4090 will go down as the "next 1080Ti" - a card that was too good and caused issues for what followed.

5080 will be ~50% better than a 3090.

I'm in the same boat, will probably stump up for a 5080, then either a 5080 Ti if they offer one, or a 6080. Wish I'd jumped on the 4090 boat though.

Can you downclock the 5090 core or power draw and make it run way cooler if you dont need 120fps in 4k and happy to game ar 60fps?

450w Overclocked gains 3fps over standard whilst using 125w less power.

yea that 450w oc is certainly what i will try to do on my 5090 when i get round to getting 1 that is, nice to see these kinda things being shown are possible and the results of such cheers

Quite interesting. Could we see 5090 improving over time?

i thought there was something wrong with the forum as no posts in 40 minutes but i guess there was nothing negative to say.

Nvm beaten to it

Wow so it's worth under volting it

once all the games are patched I'd imagine figures would be improved very slightly.

So is it looking like for the 5000 series, only 1 card is going to be faster than the flagship of the 4000 series? (On raw performance that is)

Has that ever happened before?
