What will the 50 series launch mean for used 40 series prices?

Thursday for the FE, Friday for the others.
Thanks for that, not really been paying attention this time round, after my 3090 I found the 4090 strix did not overclock well at all compared to my old 3090 strix. So it's been left at stock, think im passed my hardcore computing days. I think the whole AI generated frames is nice and all but not when you have a 50fps input running at 200fps as normally high fps games are multilayer games so not really a good mix.
 
It's from results released from NVIDIA, two of the titles used did not use FG and some sites have averaged them both. :)

5090 vs 4090 = 33%
5080 vs 4080 = 15%
5070Ti vs 4070Ti = 20%
5070 vs 4070 = 20%
Lol so much for 5070=4090 I bet the 5080 will struggle beating or matching the 4090 in places like 3d mark.

I think the use case for the AI frames is single player games (or non-competitive gaming), where you’re already rocking at least 80fps and then going 2 - 4x that to reach your monitor’s limit.

For example, you’re on 120fps and then hit 240fps or 360fps.

If you’re at 50fps, then it would be a case of lowering settings to bring your base frame rate up before applying it.

Even then, people might prefer it with it off.

Very true, I mainly play single player on my oled tv that's only 120hz and the 4090 does 90-120hz on nearly any game. I would like it for my 240hz oled but again that for playing online. I don't know, I'm probably just trying to convince my self not to spend loads!

It's probably best to think about it as a 'mere sweetener' and 'having more options', until such time that various reviews later in the week come out and say it's a 'game changer'.

Also, if your monitor is 1440p then DLSS / frame gen isn't going to be as important anyway.

Very true, all my screen outputs are 4k as they are in different rooms so it can output all at the same time so hitting 240fps at 4k would be sweet on cyberpunk, but is it actually worth it lol.
 
How will Trumps 100% tariffs impact GPU prices in the UK? Do I need to buy new hardware sooner rather than later?

It won't have any upwards impact. if anything, demand from the US might be a bit lower.

The tariff is always paid by the importing company, so US distributors.

I can't imagine the Nvidia prices will go down much if we look at the history, even 30 series cards aren't bargains that are available new.

Usually Nvidia stems supply of new product to keep the old product selling and profitable,
