NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - Technical/General Discussion

[fantasticCG]

Uplift is poor this gen so for sure it's less exciting than previous generations. The problem with waiting for a Ti is there's a good chance it's just a pre-overclocked 5080 with more VRAM that's more expensive and potentially not that far off from the 60 series launch.. which is a node shrink and hopefully more interesting. Who knows though, maybe the 60 series is terrible.

Thank you, guess I'll stick with my 3090 for now.

Do you guys think about 5080 is a good card for 4k, or wait and see what the Ti brings?

2nd hand 4090 would be better, but the 5080 is still no slouch

i have just bought the NZXT C1500 as listed in the link. Can get for £240. It should keep me good for a good few years and has dual 12V-2x6 Connectors in case Nvidia wake up and add two to the 6000 series.

No kill like overkill but at full load that should keep you at max efficiency.

Ooops wrong thread.

Is a 7900xtx to a 5080 crazy just for another hdmi port

Because I’m seriously hovering over the buy button.

I’m out of ideas and I miss my recliner tv gaming.

Don’t see any other way to use my pc on both screens at 4K 120.

Would get a good bit back on my 7900xtx I guess.

I should wait for at least the 5090 though. I could just manually switch for now I guess!

ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 5090 AMP Extreme INFINITY arrived today from other retailer. The card seems pretty solid and well build, I think I could throw it at the wall and it wouldn't bother (but probably would not run anymore so not fancy testing it out ).

Temporarily hooked it up to my PC with a PCIe rise cable, to check out ROPs, 176 as it should be. Tried a couple of games and they ran like crap, like power draw was around 300W and barely getting as much FPS as a 7900XTX, but that's because I just installed Nvidia driver and that's it. After I removed the 5090 and hooked the 7900XTX back that was also running like garbage.
So it is definitely not recommended to run 2 separate brand drivers on your system. Once I am done with my shift I will properly install the 5090 and DDU isntall Nvidia driver. For now It will be only left air cooled but I got an Alphacool waterblock on the way too.
As for noise, the fan isn't intrusive at all, and the coil whine is 4/10. So it is there, but you'd have to stick your head next to it to make it sound peculiar, with a closed side panel and playing games it's nothing really.

Btw, I ordered PNY 5090 argb triple fan OC, but it was pushed back by another 2 months (so almost May) a few days ago. Then 2 days ago, other retailer sent me an offer via email to trade it in for the ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 5090 AMP Extreme INFINITY, and I said f yeah

@Nitefly Check your pre order queue, other site has had an order of suprims finally. Ive dropped down to 26 now when i checked an hour ago

edit: wrong thread, whoops

Looks like 5000 series might be more future proof in ray traced games than AMD 9000 series by supporting key features for ray tracing 1.2. https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-com...-2-will-deliver-up-to-2-3x-performance-uplift

 

[scubes]

Bargain, I'll take two!

It would have to go £1 = $2 like the good old days for me to be interested

see ocuk haven't dropped the prices yet lol at that price id be tempted ..

So noticed a strange bug with the new 572.83 drivers.

The GPU (5090) wont always boost, it seems that a system shutdown or putting the PC to sleep fixes the issue.

But only noticed it with this driver (my AC Shadows FPS with frame gen was awful).

So I did the following
1)Fresh W11 install
2)Physically removed and reinstalled the GPU into the PCIE slot
3)Changed PCIE from Auto to Gen 4 in the bios

Reinstalled 572.83....

And....

its fixed?

Seems to be so far.

I think I need to look at replacing my PSU? Currently using an 850W, recommendations for a replacement?

I was looking at that PSU line up as well, should I find a 5090 in my hands anytime soon. Then I saw the NZXT C1500 is available for £240, which is very highly rated and more future proof.

I’m thinking of getting a a Lian Li Edge 1300w, anyone here with knowledge/experience for this PSU?

This Antec is made by Seasonic, whilst the NZXT is made by CWT. Both respected OEMs for PSU.
I really hope we are not going to need 1500W in the future. Things are already catching fire!

Is it still true that Seasonic is sort-of the pinnacle of PSU OEMs? I got a CWT unit, but always wonder if I should have gone through the extra fuss for a Seasonic.

 

[gpuerrilla]

Yeah I have had good experiences with seasonic, they even shipped me a cable for my Ampere card that I bought well before that era and its still going in my other machine. Corsair would have been my next choice but since the 50 series issues with cables I would rethink it (monitoring the popular brands) until the QA feedback on some units, you may see some pattern forming for returns.

I've had CWT, SuperFlower and Seasonic in my time. No issues or complaints with any of them. I think they are all quite similar at this tier.

I ordered one from America last July, worked out £80 cheaper than they cost over here at the time, and the price was below the tariff threshold. Arrived in 3 weeks.

What kind of scores everyone rocking on 5090s in monster hunter wilds benchmark? Just fiddling with overclocking mine now after being happy with stock performance. Keeping a very close eye on power draw though

I use the same PSU, bought mine for like £200, great PSU.
