NVIDIA 5000 SERIES - ***NO COMPETITOR HINTING***

100%. MSFS 2020/2024 is the best use case for frame generation as you don't really notice the artefacts or additional latency as it is such a slow paced game.
In such a slow paced game you don't need MFG though, do you? :) Everything moves so slowly most of the time that even with just 30FPS it would be very playable, 60FPS is plenty and 95? I doubt one can even see a difference above that with such a slow game. Unless we're talking VR where it matters more, but FG and MFG doesn't work with VR. As it's been said many times MFG doesn't work well where it could be used best and where it works best it's not needed at all.

Yep, very much a minimal effort all round sort of job by Nvidia. Also, 4nm to 3nm is not a massive jump. Don't expect 60% gains from the 5090 to 6090.
Generally, we don't get performance uplift and lower power use with node jumps anymore, we now only get one or the other. So 6k with similar design will either be faster but more (at best same) power use, or it will be similar performance but less power use. Not both.

Or it will be the same speed with the same power consumption and the same VRAM but with some clever new AI tech exclusive to the 6000 series

30 people in competitor store site queue according their discord. Wonder how they deal with that vs online orders.
They have dedicated stock for in-store only purchases and those who queue according to the numerous emails I've been getting from them ... 9 hour round trip for me from London to Manchester so won't be getting one that way :cry:

Take that back, immediately. No one should ever play a PC game below 60fps, period!

You are right though that if you are just cruising in an A320 then 30ps is probably ok, but not the sort of moves i'm busting out in the Extra 330 :D I can hold 80+fps in that game so FG in just the icing on the cake really a there are no artefacts.

We could have gone together! Think of how much we could bash the very card we were about to buy in the 4 hour journey up there ;)
 
Again, it's not about details like this, nodes etc. Node change is just easy way to port same product and get some gains "for free", without much of the R&D spent on it. Things can always be designed better on current node too - they clearly didn't do it. But most importantly, they also did not want to give bigger chip as 5080, even though nothing stopped them (5090 is way bigger after all, plenty of choices in between) - it was a deliberate choice. A choice that they can repeat with 6k series unless market speaks up and votes with wallets.
AMD need to provide a good alternative & get the marketing & Pricing right so people think it is a viable good alternative. AMD when they do come up with good alternatives stuff up the marketing and pricing and when they eventually get the pricing right, the damage is done.

I'm personally in two minds right now, on one hand I'm thinking of buying a 5080 tomorrow (or at least try) because it's a big uplift to what I have now and I don't know what AMD are actually releasing and at what price point. I'm considering trying to get a 5080 and if I do, just hold onto it and not unbox it until the new Radeon cards come out and then check reviews, if the 9070XT isn't far away and it's under £600 I would just resell it, if the 9070XT turns out to be a lot worse then keep it. That way I won't lose any money if I do decide to go down the AMD route. Hedging my bets basically

I love the cold. I was sweating on the tube today. I'd be there in my shorts and t-shirt ****** and jeffing about our Lord Jensen. :D
Oh no I love winter. I hate the summer. Even though British summers are odd like ethe duration and comapred to toehr countries it not the same. The heat in the UK affects me much more than when I have been abroad. Like anywhere else sure 40c is hot but here 25c and I am dead...
 
I have a 5900x with a 3090.
I game at 4k 120hz.
If I got a 5090 would the CPU be bottlenecked if playing at 4k?

Just wish to know if I wouldn't get full performance and need to look at 5080 or 4090?
Thanks in advance.

It would be blasphemy, you could be losing massive percentages (20-40%) depending on the game/settings. Unless you like to play at 40-50fps.

I think you would probably be disapoointed with the 5090. The 5080 would provide a large boost in most GPU bound scenarios and save yourself at least £1,000.
