NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - Technical/General Discussion

It's usually around 2 months between the official announcement and the release. I don't see a December or January release as a realistic possibility (terrible months to launch as household budgets are stretched by Christmas), so if we don't get an official announcement in the next couple of weeks, I think there'll be a wait until March or so.

The irony is that air conditioning systems are on average usually 3-4x more efficient than heating systems as they ONLY run on electricity and they are removing heat from the air which is easier than adding heat to the air. With global warming, AC units are only going to increase in usage time while heating decreases in usage time.

Electric heating system has 100% efficiency (as in, all of the electricity turns into heat), your computer is such a heater too. 3-4x more efficient system would mean your efficiency is 300-400%. One has to be careful how it's described exactly or we get perpetuum mobile machine, which is impossible. Aircon units are very different too and not all of them are very efficient.

Nah, iirc these things takes months even after designs are done. I'd say CES with stock a few weeks/month after.

Well if we looked back RTX 4080 and 4090 launch event took place on 20 Sept 2022. I found AD102 photo with 2226A1 on chip showed it was manufactured in 2022 week 26 which was between 27 June to 3 July 2022 so I found AD103 photo with 2231A1 on chip showed it was manufactured in 2022 week 31 which was between 1 to 7 August 2022. AD103 design was probably completed a few days before chip was manufactured around a month before launch event on 20 Sept 2022.

Maybe RTX 5090 and 5080 launch event could be in October or November 2024 so we have to wait and see. :D

My predictions
5090 = 65%-70% over 4090
5080 = 10-15% over 4090
5070 = 5-10% over 4080
5060Ti = 4070 super
5060 = 3070 Ti

Haven't we now reached a point where performance is completely irrelevant, with price being the only factor now?

You either stump up the cash for the 90 class or accept everything below that is going to be 2nd rate and even more terrible VFM.

I look at the prospect of a 5080 with 10% more performance than a 4090 as 'Great...but only if it costs no more than £799'

That would mean a massive performance jump from 4080 to 5080, around the 50% mark. I don't see Nvidia being that generous honestly.

It's been quite a while since the 4000 series launched so we may get big performance jump, depends on how much performance they think AMD will do on their next generation. Just hope it's not too a stupid price this time, probably will be though.

It's been pretty much expected for a while now that AMD are not releasing an RDNA4 high end card. Nvidia have no need to push hard and it has been a normal generation cycle amount of time since the Ada cards launched so nothing is pushing them to do anything out of the ordinary.

It's both, it is extremely hard to design these cards and cost an insane amount of money which AMD may not want to spend.

Being financially responsible is not "not bothering". It makes more sense to ensure the company is more successful everywhere else than risk it all on one thing.

Back on topic though, I would still be surprised to see such a jump. I wouldn't be shocked if a 5080 is 16GB card with 4090 capability.

Humidity is a bit tricky as it changes with temperature - warmer air can hold more water. So the hotter it gets the more it absorbs water even just from our bodies plus quicker evaporation - and so it gets humid fast. UK is a rather wet country, air can get humid fast indeed.

What I read,was that the more humid it is, the ability to sweat pretty much goes away, because the air is so moist, your body literally can't get rid of the perspiration. And that's why people get heatstroke,you simply can't sweat to cool yourself. I've had heatstroke a few times, it's horrible.
