PATIENCE - IF PLANNING TO BUY A 50 SERIES..........

Based on experience, yes I do: my brother's PC runs my old 2080 Ti. It's fine for his PC needs and his daughter's. There are lots of people running really old gear. It likely won't run the newest games of 2033 very well, but so what?

I suppose my mate fired up dying light on a 980ti i was actually amazed it ran tbf

The GTX 1080 Ti was released in March 2017, nearly 8 years ago, for £670. If you've kept it all that time it's cost you about £7 per week. If you buy a RTX 5090 now, for £2k, and keep it to 2033 it will have cost you a little over £20 a week. I don't think we've had 200% inflation in the past 8 years.

£7 per month not week for 1080Ti
£20 per month not week for 5090

There's a lot of people who have skipped 20, 30 and 40 series because of cost, but they've now managed to secure a mortgage to get a 50 series card

thats me! aside from the mortgage heh. 1080Ti has played games I play fine for me at the resolution i play at (3440x1440) - however for me and i think many 4k Monitors are becoming more of a thing - after getting an OLED TV i do really want a 4k OLED monitor and have that itch to build a PC again.
 
Best thing that can happen is for this gen to flop so we can hopefully see some decent uplift in performance/cost next gen. You know it’s a bad generation when Nvidia have to show dodgy slides to exaggerate the poor performance uplift from 40 series.

Watched the hardware unboxed 5090 review and some of the performance uplifts were very disappointing. Under 20% in some cases at 1440p and 4k which, for your extra £500 over the 4090 RRP is pretty poor. From the postings here though that won't be stopping people. Which is part of the problem. Given most will sell their 4090 for around £1200 then paying £800 on top for a less than 20% performance uplift seems ridiculous.

I have a 3080 10GB and have been considering a 5080 but even though the uplift would be much bigger I'm still unimpressed.

I'm in the same boat. Can't see where Blackwell is different to Ada. Not sure what nvidia was cooking for 3 years...seems like Jensens stove ran out of gas. 5080 will be hardly any performance boost from 4080s (why 4080 super, because 4080 was an overpriced ripoff)
