NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - Technical/General Discussion

Nvidia announced yesterday the RTX Pro cards. RTX Pro 5000 Blackwell with 14,080 CUDA cores, 384-bit with 48GB GDDR7. Wouldn't be surprised to see a 5080Ti with 24GB of GDDR7 in the near future.

100% the 5080 Ti gets announced mid next year or earliest end of this year.

So after the coil whine fiasco.
A new problem has emerged on my 5090FE - A black flickering screen.

I have fixed it by setting the monitor to 60hz but my 4090 never had these issues.
5090FE is absolute garbage of a card - Get what you pay for.

My 4090 started doing that - one long black screen then two short ones in a repeating pattern - after I installed the 5090/5080 launch drivers at the end of January. Cycling G-sync off and on again made it stop.

Yeh the gap is too big between the 5080 and 5090 and the 5080 is stingy with the vram. I'm definitely expecting a 5080 ti.

More than likely release in Q1 2026 with availability summer time, but who knows :D

Then 60 series in 2027

I decided that I am going to buy another card when I can get one and then sell my FE for the price I paid for a non FE.

Will easily get £2300 for an FE at the moment - This is being a d**k but won't lose any money.

That's msrp and nvidia stick to it for FE and adjust when exchange rate is up or down by a bit, partners just do what the **** they want.

Hard to blame it on partners when the retailers are selling at such wild differences. The Pallit here is +£350 what another retailer was selling this morning. The Astral +£200 what a different retailer was selling this morning and finally +£90 what my Trio sold for this morning at a third place.
 
I've built a PC a couple of months and been using the iGPU while waiting for a 5090. Is it the case that I install the card, boot with the iGPU, install the nvidia drivers then reboot with the 5090 ?

No just plug the monitor directly into the GPU and install drivers as normal.

You don't need to install the drivers using the iGPU. A basic driver will load if you boot with the 5090, then install the Nvidia drivers.

I was keen on waiting for something between the 80 and the 90 but spending even *more* money than the 5080 at a time when the 60 series might not be that far off doesn't sound very desirable to me. Especially if it's just an overclock you can already do yourself on the 5080 and more VRAM.

Thanks. I thought it wouldn't boot because windows wouldn't have a suitable driver for the 5 series.

Other people on these boards know more than me, but if you have a card as powerful as a 5090 I don't think you should have Gsync on. For example when I first got my card my graphics benchmark scores were 25% lower than what they should be. I tracked the culprit down to Gsync. When I turned it off, my card benches were exceeding the average for a 5090. Don't know if this is the answer but it's worth a try

G-Sync has to do with smoothness though, Syncing your refresh rate with your FPS, It's not about mega FPS.
