First time I actually considered buying a 90 class card. I Just don't feel there are any games worth paying this much for. Plus I would need a full system upgrade to fully maximise its performance.
Maybe when we get a Witcher 4 or GTA 6 then I'll make the jump.
That stock cooler does look great though.

tough one if 6080 is same performance at 5090 then you could have had 5090 all along.

There's something about a 6080 at 5090 levels that runs silent and low power draw that really appeals. Plus you'd have two cards (realistically you'd likely sell one after 6080 secured).
Exactly my thinking. This seems like an easy series to skip if your hardware is decent.

Yeah I think 5080 > 6080 is my upgrade path.
This. Besides the cost, power usage, thermals, reliance on AI to "boost" performance etc this is one factor that many seem to be ignoring. The state of the video game/ AAA industry is abysmal at the moment ... there are very few quality titles coming down the pipeline in the near future ; the likes of Witcher 4, GTA 6 are at least 2-3 years away, at which point the next generation of cards will be on the horizon.

None of that will push a modern card IMO. Especially considering the console base.
I just mean, anyone buying a 5090 who doesn't have a 9800x3d now needs to buy a new CPu. A 5090 is not a single purchase- you need a pcie5 motherboard, a 9800x3d cpu and a $1000 4k 240hz OLED monitor
The monitor is just so you can use frame generation but if you don't have the motherboard and cpu you risk losing to the 4090

The reason why the performance leap is not massive is because it's on the same processing node as the 4000 series.
Assuming the 6000 series is on a smaller manufacturing process that's when we'll see a big performance leap.

5080 + 6080.
You don't need a 5000 series card to play Civ 7, heck, it's even coming out on the OG Switch.
The only game from this list that needs a 5090 is Assetto and that's only if you play it in VR
Mafia old country is on unreal 5 the trailer looks really good. I have a quest 3 but might get a proper pcvr headset this year like the Meganex Superlight
It does, I can turn them on and off in settings and the difference is instantly visible.

A quick question . ATM i have the 240hz oled 32inch monitor. My cpu is the 14900k ocd to 6.1 ddr 4 ram at 4200hz. Would I be better holding on to the 4090 and get the new 9950X3D and some nice ddr5 or would I still see a better uplift buying the 5090 gaming at 4k?
Nvidia will need to get boost clocks well above 3ghz to fully enable the utilisation of the extra cuda cores but they can’t do that this gen because they don’t have the power budget.
