NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - Technical/General Discussion

I thought £2000 was silly pricing but now we are moving into the £2500 territory. What is scary is not the price of this generation but the one after that, it seems every time Nvidia gives us a performance improvement the prices go one tier up too. OCUK need to replace Haribo's with lube instead. :D

an age-old solution for GPU pricing tyranny lies in the answer to the following question:
do you really need a 100 billion transistor chip for gaming?

Yes

If the 5090 is £1900, I think the 5080 will be £1400 and match the 4090 with less ram. Nvidias monopoly is comical.

Yep a fairly priced 4090 second hand isn't looking like a bad investment right now. Only problem is I'm almost anticipating a DLSS 4 or some other software that will be locked to the 5000 series. No one wants to spend ~£1k on a used GPU and be locked out of features.

is half the stuff on a 4090 basically stuff gamers don't need anyway? and same for 5090? or does RTX crap actually need a million tensor cores or whatever

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti reportedly features 8960 CUDA cores and 300W power specs - VideoCardz.com

GeForce RTX 5070 Ti rumors We have some new information from a trusted NVIDIA leaker. NVIDIA is said to be working on GeForce RTX 5070 Ti already. This is alleged by “Kopite7kimi” who confirmed to us the following information. The card is said to feature 8960 CUDA Cores, which means 70...

How accurate do you think these leaked specs are?

I hope the VRAM is wrong because 12GB will be a joke on a 5070 class card in 2025. 12GB is now the absolute bare minimum for 4K ultra gaming, and even then there are some games already pushing past that just about or really close to it. By the time the 5000 series is out 12GB will just not be enough, especially if Nvidia sticks to 2 years or a bit more for the 6000 series, by then even 16GB will be just about enough and a 12GB card will be absolutely struggling because of that low VRAM no matter how fast the GPU is.

Ideally it will be 32GB for the 5090, really should be 20GB or 24GB for the 5080 and 16GB for a 5070, because a GPU released in 2025 and last until the 6000 series is out in maybe in 2027, 12GB is a bloody joke. PS6 and next Xbox will probably be on 32GB by then and this probably way overpriced GPU will be on 12GB :cry:

Don't give in to the FOMO it is how the companies gets you. New feature sets is usually rolled out with bugs anyway or used very limited and by the time the feature is relavent the next wave of hardware is here.
 
Dunno about a good investment. I think I'd rather chance it on 5080 16gb price/performance. And chance it that 16gb will hold out for 4 years.
And you never know. DLS 4 might be decent and relevant during that lifespan too.

I am genuinely surprised at the completed listing prices of 4090s right now. 90% of what people paid for them brand new 2 years ago. [before that website takes it's cut etc]

There's no fees on there now. So people are getting even more profit from their 4090's.
 
If those specs on the 5080 are true then nothing looks great as the spec is close to a 4080. The only decent improvement looks to be the 5090. Obviously with a different architecture can't say for sure but with AMD not really competing, if there is not much of a jump in the cuda core power things ain't moving on much from the 4080 down. I guess where things should improve a lot if not raster is the RT performance. Nvidia will be all over that i would imagine, two times jump per tier most likely as that seems to be the trend.

Should placate those that want there 100x playthrough of old games with RTX and Cyberpunk. The Gpu is dying a death compared to the old days where every gpu was a good uplift for cheaper or a wee bit more. Maybe Nvidia have another killer feature for launch though as software features seem to be overtaking the physical card these days. Hard being a Dinosaur in this day and age.
