NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - Technical/General Discussion

[EuhenioP]

Is it bad that I've paid for an autobuy app thing for the rtx 5090. It only does one retailer and it's very limited in functionality, ie can't select specific cards, you just put a maximum price.

Even with this autobuy thing it's difficult to get one.

It’s like Kinder Surprise back in the day. Never know what you’ll get in that damn egg.

I don't think even Nvidia could possibly have enough just now to build a house from.

Obviously not now, but if no 5090/5080s arrived for another half a year, and then some bilionaire guy uploads a video like that...

Despite being a big feature for RTX5000, RTX Mega Geometry actually benefits older hardware much more than new.

A 9800x3d paired with a 5080 or 5090 sees basically no performance increases with Mega Geometry. But pair a 3600 and a 2080ti and you see 15% higher framerate than before. This higher framerate applies when pairing a strong cpu with a weak GPU but especially applies with a weak CPU, the weaker the CPU the higher the frame rate increases from having mega geometry on

So overall despite Nvidia saying Mega Geometry runs best on RTX5000, it looks like gamers with older CPus and GPus will see the real benefit

Yes I was wondering if it's only beneficial if you are close to the VRAM limit, maybe it will be a better feature for the 5070. Perhaps it will only help the 5080 in games like Indiana Jones but it would be difficult to compare that to a card from the 3000 series.

Edit- The 3000 series is getting lots of good gains this generation!

very interesting, seems to have basically no downsides. Wonder how hard it is to do for the developers or if it will just become standard going forward.

Not bad. Sold my 3080 for £1620 during the mining boom to cex

Same here, sold a few to them tbh and then had a few mining. Ended up with a Evga 3080 for £570 after all the madness was over.

everyone hates on the gamerock for being ugly but even that card doesn't come close to how ugly this card is. Instead of offering garish finishes how about fixing that 4th fan and the coil whine?
