NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - (PRE)ORDER DISCUSSION **NO COMPETITOR HINTING**

I was never in the race anyhoo.

I have a 4090 FE which only has to run a 100Hz 3440x1440 IPS panel, and I still love the picture it displays.

Just d/l the latest patch for CP2077 (which is probably one of the most GPU stressed games out there currently) and with everything maxed, full path tracing, psycho, etc, with DLSS quality and FG it runs at my panel limit and looks fantastic, so a 5090 wouldn't do anything for me.

In fact, currently, there isn't a game I run that can't do 100FPS, so yeh, until there's an OLED monitor released that I want with an obviously bigger refresh rate and/or resolution, I'm good! :p

I'm in the same boat with my Reverb VR headset and 4090. The 4090 only needs to hold 90fps and it does so with a lot of headroom.
 
Have the prices of the cards been released? Eurogamer saying the FE is £1940. I'm assuming the FE cards can only be bought from Nvidea direct?
 
Nvidia sell the FE direct as well?
Last time I got an FE was the 3000 series and you had to go through 'the other retailer'.
 
It feels a bit surreal. I moved 1080 to 3080, and with 2 gens and 4 years gap, performance jump was healthy +110%. From 3080 to 5080, 2 gens and 5 years it probably will be 50-60% judging on 4080s data. And prices gone up 100%

I’m not really surprised.

Nvidia likes money, the 5090 will sell out anyway and Nvidia is not your buddy, guy.

I'm in exactly the same boat, was hoping this generation would be much better than it apparently is. Might wait a bit before buying though but still in two minds about what to do.

Not impressed with the 5090 since £2k, no.. 5080 will be interesting. But for any 40 series owner, its not a viable upgrade.

if one was to go back 4 years, the 5080 with it's likely ~10% improvement over 4080 Super would be laughed out of town. But if you consider that price/performance improvements across gens is very meager, a 10% improvement at the same RRP is sort of acceptable.

That said, hardly anyone is going to pay RRP for 5080, so you're back to a 0% (or even negative) price/performance change over 4080 Super.

it's a sad state of affairs.

Tom at OC3D has just released his review video for the SUPRIM SOC and he says MSI have confirmed to him that the Ventus OC will be MSRP so £1940, but they haven't confirmed a price to him as yet for the SUPRIM SOC, but he's guessing £2500.

I bought my 3090 second hand with 2 years warrant left for £675 after selling my 3070 for ~£350 (and bought that for £480 first hand after selling my Vega 56 for £300). Well priced upgrades.

Moves like that aren't happening any more.
