They really are great in these situations.

Pc games are just so badly optimised that people are relying on expensive gpus to just brute force it.
Then add in the fact that people use Cyberpunk (a game that should have been completed / moved on by this point) performance to justify their purchase is kinda cringe.
PC gaming is basically split into competitive shooters, rts, mmos and mobas. Everything else is just a single player game that Sony were kind enough to let us have. A game that most people had already completed on a console a year earlier

.I sometimes play Solitaire too though, need to see how that improves with my upgrade from 3080 to 5090. I'm expecting the quality of the ads to be significantly improved lol.Pc games are just so badly optimised that people are relying on expensive gpus to just brute force it.

On another note, I've had so many issues with the last 2 drivers with my 3090, first time I've had to use DDU to get things working properly. Black screens, random system restarts, blue screens. Reinstalled the Nvidia App 3 times due to caching issues. From what I can see most of the reports are about 50 and 40 series but I think it's a wider problem than that.

Oh dear. Sorry to hear that. The driver issues initially started as 50 series, then expanded to 40 series. Not sure if it has been acknowledged to affect 30 series as well. Nothing is surprising me at this point though. Nvidia is a shambles.

That could be a dealbreakerIt'll probably be worse due to lack of PhysX

They don't really sell high end GPU unfortunately
I think the GPU market needs regulation, government regulation, but we know that wont happen as no one has died from the missing ROPS or burnt PCB's
So Nvidia will do as they please and the consumer will pay as they please and it will go on for every release until Nvidia gets some competition which hurts their shareholders, but at this rate that wont happen for another decade or so.
What a lame scenario, since what 20 series?....
ANd I actually feel for that guy who discovered his MSI 5090 had missing ROPS damn I would be if I spent 3 grand and 6 hours on a website trying to buy a card

Bespoke Government regulation isn't going to happen, end of. That said, I do wonder at what point general health and safety regulators start to take a look at some of the more... ahh... incendiary problems. Consumer products that are genuine fire hazards do tend to draw their eye.
Edit: Also, in the EU at least, I can see environmental regulation coming in and limiting TDP for graphics cards. It happened for TVs (albeit amateurishly) and it could absolutely happen for GPUs as well. Won't happen in the US with the current administration, though.

Yup, I remember in my econ class years ago how monopolies are bad, and it's the government's job to prevent it. Well, clearly they haven't done f all lol.

This launch is so great, seems mad Nvidia would intentionally do something like this like they think people no longer play 32bit based games ?
yeah but i get a brand new 5090 on my MSI warranty to so its actualy £1874 for what will end up being a brand new fully working 5090
To be fair, I'd rather be in that position than me paying £2750 yesterday for my TUF from here lol
