Who has upgraded from a 4090 to 5090 ?

And you probably enjoy your games more because you're not busy measuring the frame rate and power consumption... Or checking inside you case for fire :D

lol im always looking at my fps in the top right corner but i dont do any mad benchmarking stuff unless i get a new gpu or something my current one is a radeon 7800xt paired with a ryzen 7800x3d and 32 gig ram :)

mostly use the fps counter to tweak my game settings and yep i do play and enjoy tons of games hehe :)
 
Unless you game all day every day without stopping - probably not worth it, its just capitalism eating away at your subconcious mind to upgrade, improve, spend money, upgrade, improve, forever until death.

Will it make your games any different ? prob not - will you get a few days silence and calm in your mind that you've got the best? yes you will - but its only a few days then you'll be bored again and your attention will shift to something else.

So unless its essential, nah, dont bother.

I did, and it’s been mostly a pointless upgrade for the type of games I play (Diablo 4, PoE2) but for the odd time I play Division 2 and Spacemarine 2 and even started playing Cyberpunk again, it’s been brilliant

It helped that I sold my 4090 for £1500 and got a 5090 for £2095 so was a fairly cheap upgrade. I just can’t help myself and love to upgrade.

i play POE2 on a 1080, playable with dynamic res on until you gets screen full of spells then it's 16 FPS :eek: , POE2 its about a much a waste of time as buying Nvidia, if the game doesn't not disconnect you get to end game spend hours gaining XP only for GGG to Nerf your build at the next update :cry:.
 
I made the upgrade and don’t regret it. Very happy with my 5090 and it means I can play cyberpunk with 4k patch tracing without any frame gen.

But yeah it’s clearly not going to be worth it for the majority of people, the 4090 is such an awesome card and great value if you managed to get it close to RRP

My experience was a positive one. I upgraded from a 4090 to a 5090 mostly for VR. With a 4090 and a pimax crystal the settings i used put GPU usage above 90%-95% in sim racing and DCS etc and i had the occasional frame rate slow down in a busy scene. With the 5090 the GPU usage sits around 60% - 70% with the same settings, obviously a much more constant smoother gaming experience. After the sale of my 4090 and buying one of the cheaper 5090's the price difference wasn't huge so i found the upgrade worth it.

Not to rain on your parade here but you dont really want your gpu usage to be low this would mean something in your system is most likely bottlenecking your performance, possibly your cpu which could also be down to resolution you are playing said games at but 9 times out of 10 you want your 5090 beast to getting used and handling the workload not something else in your system
 
I think if I could get a tuf for circa 2k and sell my 4090 for 1500 I would do it, but not at 2.5k, why Asus why do you be so expensive lol
 
I went 4090 to 5090. My PC's my one real luxury and I'm actually pretty frugal elsewhere.

While the 30% performance uplift doesn't sound like a lot, it's been the difference between "a bit choppy" and "absolutely fine" when playing some of the most demanding games at 4k with maxed out settings.

No obvious bottlenecks that i am aware of. i do monitor the cpu usage from time to time. In DCS i have locked the frame rate to 90fps so i expect the 5090's GPU workload to be less than the 4090 at the same frame rate. I understand why you may think theres a bottleneck, i should have worded my post better. my cpu is a 14900KS which i know is'nt the best these days. will be upgrading to AMD later this year but the man cave budget has been spent for time being.

14900ks def a more than capable cpu so that def wont be an issue, it may even be the resolution thats set for it to be fair if its a fairly newish title your playing you should be able to up the resolution and if already at the max resolution the headset supports you should be able to adjust the render resolution past the 100% scaler which i see dcs supports, to render the game at a higher resolution it will make things look that bit cleaner for you especially in vr and get your gpu doing more of the work again while most likely not dropping any frames
