NVIDIA 5000 SERIES

[Nitefly]

Yes it's going to be ok or Yes it will bottleneck?

I can cope with a few %. However anything major and I refuse to do a whole new build whilst we are in a time when not that many games demand more power and the ones that will, probably be in line with the next generation of consoles.

Maybe I should sit this one out, or see what best I can get for £800-£1k?

There's about 5% in it compared with the fastest CPU available. However, this won't take into account things which are particularly CPU intensive (e.g. if ray-tracing punishes the CPU). See here:

Keep in mind this is with a 4090. System specs here. Read the review.

wait a second ago i saw 5080 was only 15% down from the 5090 on cyber

this shows 5090 has got a considerable gain over the 5080

ahh man, i think it will be better to see some deep stats 5080 vs 5090

It depends on the game. The Doom games use the IdTech engine and Vulkun; this engine combined with this API is extremely well optimized, every GPU gets a high framerate and yes it makes the 4090 look good, as it should because the 4090 has 50% more SM's than the 5080 so when the game is properly optimized of course the 4090 is going to dominate the 5080, it's just science

The latest Avatar is another example; it's well optimized and several reviews today show the 4090 beating the 5080 by 35% in this game

AV1 is the only codec people should be using these days, I despise the other creators that use h.264 as a benchmark.

Tdlr?

 

[jonneymendoza]

Maybe the 5090 is a rebadged 5080 and the 5080 is a 5070?

Anyone in here actually excited to get a card tomorrow amongst all the doom and gloom in here lol

There’ll be a few excited at the chance of profit considering what these will go for on eBay if you bag one.

More excited for my next dump.

Yes, if you can actually get one. As others have stated some of the doom and gloom is 40 series owners saying it isn't much of an upgrade. It isnt but it's a big upgrade for 30 series or older.

I'm hoping bag a 5090, currently have a 3090. But I think I have little chance but will give it a go and then wait if not. I ain't paying scalpers.

At least Nvidia has its AI sector to fall back on.

More excited for my next dump.

Yeah but previous gen dumps were by far the most memorable.

Yea me but I won't be lucky

 

[Hostile_18]

Im looking forward to it, but I think all any of us will be doing is pre ordering one. Certainly none of us getting one this week!

Not really, honestly. And I'm normally jumping up and down at GPU launches.

It's not only the worst performance and price/performance uptick in the history of graphics car launches (by a good margin), there's a feeling this is a huge blow to the PC gaming hobby.

 

[silvagti]

Stock of many 4000 series cards is hard to come by and second hand prices are still super high. Feels like we're in a weird place where if you can get a 5000 series at the MSRP it still looks like 'good value' compared to the alternatives as far as I can see? Even though in isolation compared to the RTX 4000 series it's utterly meh.

 

[Combat squirrel]

I seriously seriously hope its a massive flop & the cards collect dust on the shelf, we all need to vote with our wallets and let them know approaching 3 grand for not much more is a joke.

I’m sure there are yes, despite the poor reviews I think the 5080 is decent for the fact it delivers 87ish percent of the performance of a 4090 for 60% of the cost. Not amazing but decent.

I also think if it is available at MSRP and in volume it will push used prices of the older 4090 and 4080 class GPUs down.

I would rather spend £1000 on a new 5080 than £1400 on a used 4090 for example. Even at £1000 for a 4090 I would say nope, not without a decent amount of transferable warranty. Has the utter mediocrity helped the 4090 and even 4080 retain their value, yes of course. By still not to the point where 40% or even 20% extra cost for 13% extra performance and no warranty is remotely good value.

Yes massively, but the 5080 is 4 times faster than my 2060. All the doom and gloom seem to be from the 4xxx series owners.

I'm sure Jensen will ball his eyes out.

 

[Ch3m1c4L]

I'm not excited. It's too expensive for me to be happy about it. I'm also not going to spend more than 2250? On a pre water blocked card, or I'll go founders and block it myself.

I also might not buy tomorrow, might wait a little.

And you are paying 3x the cost of that 2060, cracking upgrade 6 years on lol. You could have had same performance a year a go.
