NVIDIA 5000 SERIES

After seeing the latest 5080 benchmarks it makes me even sadder that I sold my 4080 Super. Did it a few weeks ago thinking I was being smart in preparation for the 5080. Day I sold it the leaks of poor performance came out. Looks like I'll be paying £250+ (non-FE) extra for less than 10% performance if I manage to get a 5080. :(

I never sell my current card hoping to get one on release because I know how difficult that is!
 
Here's me feeling like a right mug, sold my 4090 before the 5090 reviews and the price has since shot up. Been using my 4070 (backup card) for a few weeks and the Transformer model has helped in Cyberpunk.

Question is do I spend £2300+ (realistic AIB price considering the stock rumours) on a 5090 and for that value to plummet in 2 years (or maybe sooner) when they release 60 series. Or just try for a 5080 as the uplift over the 4070 is still significant?

I'm on the fence as this generation seem a stop gap, so if I went for the 5080 the potential loss when 60 series is out will be less. This would also free up cash for a 6080 (which should see better gains) or even a 6090 that should be more efficient than 575W!

Yeah stupid of me I was expecting a similar uplift in performance from the 3080 - 4080 but can't change it now and need a GPU

Any other generation this would have been a good move, maybe not the 3000 one because finding a card would have been impossible. I don't think anyone expected it to be quite this grim. When a company has no competition in its yolo-side-gig, the consumer gets full penned. This is wild stuff.

Imagine telling someone in 2015 even armed with a couple thousand dollars you can't find a computer upgrade for 4 years. They'd think world war 3 happened or something.

I'd think they are just forcing everyone to buy into their titan stuff, but they don't even make that many of them, so I don't know. Maybe we should be happy with our 20 trillion operations a second. Maybe getting more on this node is really impossible. They don't even sell full dies anymore right? Where do they all go? Is there too many customers for TSMC? Can nvidia just not buy in bulk anymore?

that’s ridiculous, I was thinking of going down as only an hour away but not sure what time to commit to or better just getting online.

There's only 6 hours free parking and they have ANPR, so you don't want to go too early if driving. Unless there's somewhere else you can park nearby.

usually that's the right way to go, just this time it isn't. It will still be faster than the 4080 super what ever happens.
 
The 5080 can't be that bad it has a lot more bandwidth so should be better in 4k than 4080 and 4080 super if not much better in lower resolutions. The 4090 didn't seem to be bandwidth limited so the 5090 didn't see great gains from increased bandwidth but it should help a lot more on the 5080 and 5070ti.

you could be getting less than 5090 performance across 2 gens for the same price.

Yep. Lesson learned on my part here.

Stick to what you have until you KNOW it’s worth the upgrade.

I’m like a kid that jumps into a swimming pool then remembers he can’t swim at times.

dunno, i have a feeling it might be the wise thing to do next gen. New node should see more of an uplift in percentage terms between generations.

That’s exactly what would happen if I kept my card, I f…… guarantee it.

Just keep taking my money NVIDIA, I just don’t care anymore.

That’s good info, im unsure as to if I even want a 5080 after seeing leaked reviews, it’s possible to get a new 7900xtx for £600 so idk whether to just get that if I’m gaming at 1440p. Would to prices plummet for a 5080 if a 5080ti or 60 series came out?
