NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - Technical/General Discussion

[Meaker]

Having the 4070 nothing coming up is giving me a hint of FOMO.

"High Failure Returns" This has to be click bait, i have only heard of one aledged incident using athird party cable ( i use cable mods) that wsas 2 uears old and been used on a 4090 so probably plugged un and out a fair bit. Not sure that equals a high failure rate

We have no idea how many times the user plugged it in and out. Might have installed it and never touched it. We don't know.

Any hints of when the 5070/ti are going to drop?

So basically all Nvidia have achieved with the 50 series is making GPUs more expensive and harder to buy.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Yeah, the 5000 series will definitely go down as one of the worst in history.

Not really a surprise and isn't because of shortage , because they want to sell for AI instead

Lols.

Lols.

You need to click into it, it’s actually out of stock.

I still would not call one reported incident a high failure rate

20th Feb for sale 19th for MSRP card reviews

Someone beat me to it on the previous post. The Ti will be on sale 20th and the non-Ti around 3-4 weeks after that, though nothing concrete for the 5070 non-ti atm.

Amen. And people were looking forward to something good after how expensive the 4000 series was, especially when Nvidia tried it on with the unlaunched 4080 4070ti and overpriced 4080. The supers were what the 4000 series shoudl have launched at. Makes me wonder if they'll do it again with decent super or if they'd rather just leave it, since there's still plenty of folks lapping up the drip fed cards.

Well I've had a quick play with overclocking my 5080. It's running 63C with low fan speed. Makes no coil whine. +1500 Mem and +250 Core overclock takes it to 3120Mhz and is using about 235W of power under load when gaming. I'll probably dial it back a bit for now but it's nice there's some extra performance on the table in the future. Very happy with it so far. Very impressed with frame gen so far and DLSS is still a massive selling point.

It is the worst generation in history from both an absolute performance increase and price/performance perspective - and it's not even close.

Try a variety of games, mine sits around 280-320 depending on game and settings, I would find it very unlikely to be using 235w consistently over 3ghz. Do you have an fps cap / vsync in place by any chance?

Agreed. I'm on an Afterburner curve undervolt + overclock journey with mine at the moment and there's absolutely zero chance to hit 3100+ on the core at only 235W even with undervolting, unless it's very simple low power games or low Hz/ Vsync as suggested.
I'm on an MSI Trio OC 5080, and it seems like a very good sample. No coil whine and like the vast majority of reports I'm seeing about the 5080, the core and memory overclock a silly amount. I'm more interested in finding the sweetspot for lowest volts and power usage whilst still getting better than stock performance. I don't see the point in gunning the pants of a GPU to get 5 extra frames when you're already getting 90+

We can't make these 5080s 4090s really, even if we delude ourselves. Though they do give them a good run. The 16GB Vram is still irking me though coming from a 3090, but the jump in pure brute force is very significant, and DLSS frame gen is very very good to me. First time I've tried it 'proper' as I've been using Nukem9's FSR-DLSS frame gen mods up to now....

True, that was in Indiana Jones, I tried Kingdom Come and the same clock speed was at 295 Watts. Not sure why Indiana is showing so low. (165 fps cap and no v-Sync, but I wasn't quite hitting that frame limit in Indiana. - Was hitting about 150 fps max)

Nah go all the way. You know ya wanna.

You raise valid and very logical points. But I am within about 1000 points of beating my 4090 and 9800x3d score. So for me I will either break the score with my 5080 or I will break my 5080 either way one of them is getting broke

Same. people are moaning about it non stop, but I'm happy. got my PNY for close to MSRP (not seen a 4080s near MSRP for a long long time) stays really cool, far quieter than my 3080 was and it overclocks like mad.

Markup on fleabay is dropping on the 5080. Looks like the 5080 is a flop. Given the 4080 super has been available for £1k for a year, not a surprise.
