NVIDIA 5000 SERIES

Maybe gaming is their favourite hobby. I don't see why it's sad other people are excited. If they're scalpers though, I hope it rains and their tents have holes.

It’s obvious the majority are scalpers, gamers are not going to spend 3 nights out in tent for a chance at a gpu that isn’t much better than what’s been available the past 2.5 years.

Indeed although I think their cards will be decent.

The irony is the XTX was actually pretty damn fast. All they had to do was improve the RT and bump the rasterisation up slightly and they would have had a part to easily compete with the 5080.

apparently next gen top end won't even compete with the 5090

so 3 nights camping and sitting there all day for how much profit, $1k max?? and if they actually have a job 3 days holiday??

I suppose the 5000 series has just made the used 4090 prices go up.

I really wish I’d held off selling my 4090. I could have got more for it, or just bloody kept it.

I'm starting to wonder if I'll ever sell my 4090FE. By the time I actually need to upgrade it, maybe to a 6090, it'll be worth so little I'll either repurpose it into another machine or just put it on a shelf and look at it :)

4090's will likely still be going for around £600 come the next generation of card. That's a decent chunk off an upgrade whichever way you look at it.

This is not news and to be honest those numbers you are focusing on are taken most from one game using the now widely accepted pile of unoptimised crap that is UE5. It also doesn’t help he drops settings to high to reduce the GPU bottleneck. It’s funny how he settles on that one game to “prove” his point. You could easily pick plenty of games that conclude the opposite.

So yeah anyone buying a 5090 for their 5800X3D and lower CPU and playing at below 4K max is not really upgrading at all. A big caveat (and this video demonstrates it well) is that it depends on the game.

CPU limits and balanced PC setups have always been a thing. I tried to explain this to a guy who could not understand why his new 3080 was only a few percent faster than my 2080. I explained it was because he had an old Intel 4 core CPU compared to my 5900X.

So the conclusion is that CPU limits are news to some poeple and there is a need for tech tubers to reiterate this point every so often?

That video has 141K views, I'm sure it was news to a fair few of them :cry:

The XTX underperformed though for its size and power consumption and was clocked too high. They wanted to charge a lot more for it, and I doubt they made much money on it. The 9070xt is looking like a mid range card they are overclocking out of its efficiency range to compete with the upper mid range. I think they missed a trick by not going cheaper and saving money on power delivery, heatsinks and they could have power limited the card with single 8 pin on the 9070.

I hope soon the reviewers will pay more attention to performance per watt so that the market will change. It's crazy how much power the 5090 uses and for 20% less power consumption it's only 5% less performance.

No, it’s not news that some game engines are unoptimised and had you managed to read beyond the part you bolded, would have got that context.

Try reading the entire post instead of the first few words. Because I made it very clear that my point was about it being very game dependent.

So someone expecting to upgrade their 5800X3D to a 9800X3D and expecting a massive boost in ALL games is going to be disappointed.

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?

Where can you get a 7900xtx for 600?
 
you know if only AMD up'd their game and continued to rival Nvidia on the high end GPU market, I can remember 10/12 years ago or so the 7990s and the 7970s they were really good GPU's but for some reason they bowed out and now only make mid tier cards, its like they only want to concentrate on consoles, if they had a 4090/5090 equivalent then Nvidia wouldn't be standing where they are now, when a corporation has no competition that makes them greedy and dangerous for consumers. I'd say for someone to rival Nvidia GPUs will take years!

For now we are stuck with them, paying extortionate prices and literally fighting to give them our hard earned cash

All because we want a 5080/90 :cry::cry::cry:

Thats an awful lot of trouble to go to just to earn a few hundred quid I'm sure all the bots they have lined up to instantly clear the shelves is much more civilised

You are one of the smart ones.

At least it isn’t as bad as the depreciation in cars :D
 
I'm more morbidly curious about the 5080 than the 5090. Kind of knew the 5090 would be the fastest most expensive card going in. I'm really curious to see how good or bad the 5080 really is
