Poll: Whose going to get one - 5000 series

[cosmogenesis]

I am presuming that the price will put a lot of people off although as yet we dont know the prices officially.

So whose planning on getting one ?

 

[john_smith]

Hopefully, yes.

 

[cosmogenesis]

Hopefully, yes.

which one and how much you prepared to pay?

Without seeing benchmarks or price its impossible to say, I would only buy one if there is a hugle leap in performance personally

Skipped 40 series due to melting connections so will be considering a 5080 or 5090 this around depending on how bad the prices are.

Waits to find out it uses the exact same connector and draws even more power

I've just sold my 3090fe. I skipped the 40series (but I do have a 4060 as a temp solution right now)

I would think £2k for a 5090, would consider a 5080 if it was significantly better than a 4090, but I don't think it will be.

It's 12V-2x6 this time around isn't it? Same cable, slightly different connector on the GPU side.

what do you currently use and what is a giant leap?

 

[OverDrive]

I plan to. I have had my AIB 4090 since Dec 2022. If I upgrade, selling my 4090 to go towards the cost would be the plan. I paid £1800 for my 4090, and at the time that seemed crazy, so I am really hoping that the cost won't be too much higher this gen.

I will, if I get at least a 50% performance uplift from my RTX3080 for the same £650 I paid for it.

If not, I'll carry on waiting.

Yes, that's what's anticipated. I currently have a native 12V-2x6 cable from my new ATX 3.1 PSU connected to my 4090 which has the earlier 12VHPWR socket. It's fully backwards compatible.

Ahh, the 3080FE for MSRP £650.. those were the days, how things have changed!

paraphrase-
"Who knows they're being ripped off, but still buying one?"

 

[ljt]

lol. Certainly looks like it's heading that way

 

[StarShock]

If there is a 5070 or similar card that can match the 4080 for around £500 i would be tempted. But I suspect the closest will be 4070ti level for £650 + at which point that's a big ol' nope from me.

 

[Noxia]

Got my bingo card ready:

"I can afford one, I just don't want one."

Wild assumptions about other's finances based on GPU purchase.

"For the price of that I could get (something totally unrelated)"

Ordered two

Mental gymnastics to justify purchase to internet nobodies.

Under the thumb posters-"I want one but the other half would kill me"

"I'll stick with my <potato> until they are £299"

Sour grapes posters having a temper tantrum because others are buying things they can't (but will insist they can, so why the sour grapes?)

"ha ha get the lube out"

@TNA falling off his chair when the inevitable flip-flop from @mrk happens

There were plenty of those at the 4090 launch.

Forget price, you're asking who's gonna get one just because it's the new. There's no numbers of any kind beside the name right now.
