NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - Technical/General Discussion

All in for a 5090 but there simply isn’t the info to know which is the best pick for me.

Number 1 priority is for no coil whine / annoying fan noise, so whichever delivers that wins. I hate hate hate hate hate coil whine… but then I’m the sort of sensitive sausage that is very affected and distracted by odd chittering noises - it’s just how my brain is wired.

In hotel rooms, fridges and TVs get unplugged. Yes, really.

Sounds like Aspergers

It's impossible to know which 5090 to buy, since we don't know how good the FE model is (there is at least a possibility that there's something wrong it) and we don't know anything about all the other cards, including price.

It'll probably be whichever one is in stock, but I do like the look of the TUF and I'm curious about the 5 fan MSI special edition:

By model i meant whether people were buying 5070/5070Ti/5080 or 5090.. not exactly which brand they are going for.. although its nice to hear what everyone would like
 
is that a MSI Lightning Z, like the last time MSI did that was the 2080ti, was MSI absolute top end card, then you had all the Suprim models after that, I mean we are what, 11 days away from the 50 series launch and there is such strict embargos, no hand on reviews no teardowns no benches, Has Nvidia done this before?

How does one decide what card to buy if he doesn't know anything about the product on release day? there something really fishy going on with this release, because I cant remember if the 20 30 and 40 series had tis much secrecy so close to launch.

If i remember correctly the 30 and 40 series both had reviews come out the day before release and the prices are always shown at 2pm on release for AIB's.
If anything there is more out there this time than there has been for the last 2 generations

Maybe have a look in here.

Whose going to get one - 5000 series

Is the pound stronger now to the dollar? I remember that been a big factor last time. Estimated prices kept going up and up weekly, as the pound fell. The pound is weakest its been for a year, read it on the BBC yesterday as our borrowing is going up

I need to get 2 minimum for my setup. So I decided on the astral and aorus master ice both 5090’s. For my back up cards I have the msi lightning/suprim 5090. NGL I am curious about the FE but I am simply not convinced that a 2 slotter can dissipate potentially 575w worth of heat quietly and as cool running as the AIB’s. Loved to be proved wrong.

Sounds feasible.

Reflex 2 is said to be used only in very fast online games where latency matters more than anything, as it creates too many issues/artefacts to use in normal games where quality of image matters more. At least that's what I've seen/read in few different places, but time will tell.

I'd suspect you have both versions implemented and it will be up to the player to use whatever works for him.
Mike25 said:
It's only going to be in 2 games so far - since it's not in their beloved CyberPunk yet, I doubt it's easy to implement, and they already have "100+" games with Reflex 1 that aren't automatically getting upgraded.
I'd also imagine that it probably won't be possible to implement for games that tie their physics engine to FPS, so that'll be a huge amount of games disqualified.

Implementation will be the main problem.
Physics shouldn't matter, the game logic still ticks at the basic frame rate, meaning physics is still calculated at 60fps even it the game shows 240fps. That extra fps is just extra smoothness, nothing more.
TNA said:
How are you guys testing latency? Maybe I need run some tests as honestly 50ms doesn't sound as bad to me. But I could be completely wrong. Not looked into it a very long time.

50ms is 20th of a second. Maybe I am also just getting old. Lol

Nvidia has it in its own OSD from the app. It doesn't show in all the games, but I works in CB77, for instance. And no, 50ms isn't that much. You can have it with around 60fps or more, especially with v sync.

Using DLDSR, 2880x1620, DLSS Balanced and the latency can jump around 40-60ms +/- at 180-200fps with raster.

Going down to "native" 1080p with same settings, fps around 220 +/-, latency goes to 12-14 ms.

So, if you add effects or techniques, latency will increase regardless of FPS. And while you'll feel the difference between 13ms +/- to 40 ms (probably, but not guaranteed), for most it wouldn't matter.

That, of course, assuming Nvidia's software offers relatively good latency numbers.

5080 is the plan but really don't fancy an AIB so if I can't get a FE I may end up just not bothering at all.

Amazes me that people are "planning" when we have no real world tests yet.
