NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - Technical/General Discussion

Exactly!

Also I think it's really telling how this time I get home after work with these reviews out and this thread has barely increased by a couple or so pages. When the 5090 reviews came out, there were dozens more pages full of discussion on these GPUs.

If anything, goes to show how little folks are bothered or care about the rest of the 5000 series after seeing what we've had so far.
I look forward to seeing the reaction tomorrow, will there actually be many people in this thread talking about how they managed to order a 5070ti or are on a waiting list for one?

Or will it just be more discussion on how terrible the 5000 series is, chatter about melting cables and how Jensen is laughing in his swimming pool filled with leather jackets :D
 
What is in the other box?!? And why is he so much more positive about it?! Please tell me it's a GPU...

I didnt watch that far into the video this morning, lol, what is in the box?...

I'll just summarize: 5070 ti is an abomination of a card at its actual street price, middling at its RRP. You could have had better performance at this cost for nearly two years.
Similar price and performance to a year old 4080S which already wasn’t very good buy.
 
At this rate, the only way ill be buying a new GPU is if my current one dies!

5th year into the 6800 ownership and absolutely nothing GPU related is exciting enough to want me to buy anything else.

Anyone get a 5090 TUF OC from the pre-order queue. Interested to know what "small batch" meant in this context. Is it another joke 5 cards?
Yesterday someone mentioned they went down 10 places in the 5090 TUF queue, so probably that many assuming no one cancelled.
 
Having issues with my undervolt. With this curve I can hold 2.4+ on the core at 0.865v. At the same time, as you can see, I raised the base frequency, so on idle I'm consuming unnecessary power (54v).

With the second one, I preserved the curve floor (lowering power consumption to stock), but for some reason it doesn't go over 2.1 on the core, still at 0.865. What gives?

It's not just GPUs that I'm turning away from right now because of this - lets call it what it is - debacle.

At 1440p I've been happily rocking this 7900 XT for the games I have time to play at the moment, but I had thought about upggrading to 27" OLED this year (because I also do a lot of text based work, and I don't want text rendering issues from the 32" OLEDS). But I'm in no rush to upgrade to 4k without a better GPU.

Now lets say for some miraculous reason a 5090 arrived at MSRP with plenty of stock. A few months ago I would have put myself at a 90% chance I'd buy it + a couple of new screens. Right now though, I'm reading from quite a few online comments that even with fake frames the higher FPS from the 5090 @4k doesn't feeel like it should in game.

I suspect the poor uplift of 1% minimums/lows is to blame here, in a couple of 5090 reviews it was only around 12% better than a 4090. So plenty more fake FPS from fake frames, but not the in-game experience to match.

This sucks all round, Nvidia suck & AMD suck for throwing in the towel, and retailers likely won't be getting my cash for a GPU/OLED combo. I can't be the only one that's now going to sit on the fence for another year??
 
Basically all Nvidia has done is re-release the 40 series, reset the pricing back to the OG pricing and stuck a 5090 on top.
The problem is that they are now pretty good at choking the supply down to match the small number of people who will pay exorbitant prices for it, so they can keep this up.. I'd like to think it's not a sustainable business model but so far it seems to be working

Ai data centers is the business model. Not sure what this is.
