NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - Technical/General Discussion

[Harlequin]

Supposed to be $349, so probably £329 here, and supposed to compare directly to the 5060Ti.

Depends whether that's $349 actual price though, or $349 AMD supported introduction price for a few days as per the 9070XT launch

8GB is $299 so same as the RTX 5060

Budget cards always have and should be price/performance leaders. You used to pay premium for top performance

It is only in recent years where (msrp) prices were scaled almost linearly with performance in a gpu lineup. Made top halo gpus like 4090 a logical and reasonable "value" purchase. Since you got no additional value from ones below it. Of course that meant top gpus were scalped until actual prices reflected this desirability.

But of course for 8GB cards, benchmark performance is no longer the whole story. Its rubbish because it locks the user from using it in configurations where performance could have been good but isn't, purely from lack of vram.

Exactly - it's ok if you're only wanting to use it at 1080p in older games. But it's going to be e-waste in a couple of years when the PS6 comes out.

Maybe little Timmy could get his ass up a chimney or two and earn some coin rather than facing the crushing disappointment and humiliation of having a 8GB 5060.
Kids these days eh?
When I were a lad.. etc etc etc

My son has a 3070, which I got him new on launch day in October 2020
He's looking to upgrade, and in one week in the Easter school break he earned £350 from washing cars . If he does the same in the May school break next week, then he will almost have enough for a 5070Ti

There's no way it's going to stay at £329. If the 9070 XT can't even stay below £649, there isn't going to be a £300 difference between those cards.

Being proven wrong here will be a happy accident of course.

This is the way!

5060 is basically what the 5050 should have been
5060Ti is basically what the 5060 should have been

I used to buy the best performing budget card back in the day where for £50-100 less you got performance pushing the model just above

Might be a bit less,ie,£319 if the exchange rates are decent and the RX9060XT 8GB is the same price as the RTX5060. If the AMD figures are accurate the RX9060XT should be faster.

But if you are spending around £270 to £280 on a card an extra £40 to £50 for a faster one with twice the VRAM would be a better purchase IMHO. Maybe there will be price reductions on the RTX4060 - if there is a deal around £200 it would be OK at that price.

I'm looking at buying a 5090 and vertically mounting it in my Lian Li Evo Dynamic. Availability is showing some positive signs and hoefully the prices are starting to show some downward trends. I feel we are waiting for older expensive stock to clear out. yesterday I saw a 5090 GameRock OC at sub £2k even though their non OC variant was much more expensive. I decided against the OC as I think the thermals and power would be too high.

Its a toss up between the FE (which is impossible to get hold of), the Ventus 3x, Zotac solid and the gamerock. I'm hearing that the FE and gamerock run hotter than the others.
I'm running this on a custom cable from antec for my antec signature 1300w PSU which scares me a little.

The zotac solid is pre order at the mo so my next question is when is stock due?

Thanks in advance

 

[Soulja]

Has happened to me too.

Running at stock? I did open a ticket with ocuk on Sunday but I have heard nothing from them yet.

My Gamerock doesn't run hot - with an undervolt it's decidedly chilly - but the fans are quite loud when they spin up properly.

Are owners using the 12pin adapter that comes with the 5090 or continuing to use the 4090 one that's been working fine? Was wondering if there was any reason not to use the 4090 one.

Any reason not to use a brand new one? I think the cable is more flexible. I use the native one that came with the PSU.

I would always use the one that comes with the card. I mean, why wouldn't you?

Only that mine hasn't melted.

I’m using the native 12v-2x6 cable that came with my NZXT C1500. But sometimes i wonder if i should just use the 4x8-pin adapter. Then Nvidia cannot blame the PSU if my 5090 FE goes up in smoke.

...I'm also using a WireViewPro (since returned the Astral LC) and just need to get a cable long enough to reach, and read the temps at the PSU side.

While others are hammering Nvidia for their silly games, this is what Linus decided to post and buy adding more to the most ridicules graphics card ever made category.. Of course it's an ASUS card.. more ASUS tax ..
