Poll: Whose going to get one - 5000 series

[Sedgey123]

Is the pound stronger now to the dollar? I remember that been a big factor last time. Estimated prices kept going up and up weekly, as the pound fell.

The pound is weakest its been for a year, read it on the BBC yesterday as our borrowing is going up

FE is always going to be naturally the hardest to get so personally thats why i always go the AIB route and mid range price of the 90's cards as i assume again naturally people will be drawn to the cheapest so they sell out rather quickly.

As i said in another thread a day or so before the release last time with the 4000 series, Gibbo from Overclockers did a post of what was in stock and whether it had a high or low volume so maybe they will do one this time as well... but prices are not shown until launch time.

They really need to change that.if they can. You have 30 seconds to be in the site you need to be at come launch day and I won't be taking a chance this time if I don't know the price of some, but do others.

very close poll!

I'm not going to get one. I'll happily replace this 2nd hand 2080Ti with a 2nd hand 4080 most likely, and be happy at 1440p

The 4080 FE was easy to get at launch last time, it was in stock for ages (sometimes days) but I guess that due to the price at the time.

 

[Terminal_Boy]

Not at the moment, as my whole system needs upgrading first.

Yeah the top tier hits different in terms of demand.

Yeah i should clarify in my post i am purely on about the 4090

 

[jklc]

I was dead set on waiting before prices were revealed. I'm still waiting on actual benchmarks but I could see myself picking up a 5070Ti if performance is up there.

 

[Purgatory]

The 5090 is just not a good enough upgrade from a 4090 imo even if it was £1500 I wouldn’t bite.

Only if you needed the VRAM, the $2k price to me is silly and should have been no more than $1.5K for the 5090 this generation, they are taking the micky really.

 

[Purgatory]

Time for a revised poll?

You can change your vote now, I just changed mine.. to NO, from on the fence.

The 4080 is a legit 4k card. It's currently the second best card out there

It was overpriced, but it's a 4k card.

 

[McManicMan]

Not getting one, it's not as if my 4090 is suddenly no good anymore, lol, and what with DLSS4 things will actually improve for those so little many games that will make the 4090 suddenly struggle with ( sarcasm mode ). Good for those on 3000 series who want to upgrade

 

[kute]

If the 5080 beats the 4090 in pure raster, and I can buy one for under 1130 or so USD, I probably won't be able to resist.

Or if they somehow make DLSS 4 with VR so that I never have to worry about dropping below whatever again, that would be too hard to resist. I feel like that should be easier than quadrupling frames? But IDK anything about that stuff

Same feels like a refresh of the 4000 series more than anything

well you will get the upscaling benefits from DLSS4 in VR with titles that support that, but that's about it.

IMHO the 5080 simply doesn't have enough CUDA cores to reach 4090 perf, the only thing it seems to do better is the display ports and AI TOPS but that it. So it will do its multi-frame gen thing but in terms of rasterisation its a 4080 Super with a bit more memory bandwidth

Just out of curiosity, what we do we all do for a living? Me personally I’m an account manager not a bad wage but I still couldn’t justify £2+k on a GPU alone.. partially because I don’t get time to game as much these days but even if I did I’d rather get a 4090 for less than £1k (which they will be) and go on a nice holiday with the Mrs…

^this

looking to go on holiday for £2k in June for 4 of us as kids school have a week off when other schools are in term due to shorter summer holidays so we can pick non stupid prices.

If you have £2k for a GPU then all good to your wallet its your money you can spend it on what you want. Its when you start to think what else you can get for £2k it starts to be rather ridiculous and reality dawns on you. The 3090 I got cost me £900 and I had to hide that from the other half

I get what you are saying and agree. However there are different factors for different people. I like you can't justify it based on lack of game time. However some get a lot more game time or just have more disposable income.

Not to mention, with a bit of skill you buy it for say 2K and sell it for 1.6K or something like that 18-24 months later when next gen is getting closer.

A lot of people see it as 2K gone forever. Nope, you can recycle that money over and over. I have been doing it for 20 years now. I don't even think I have lost on 1K total in all that time. Though it helps I made profit on a bunch of GPU's also.

I do it with other things I buy also. If not using it, goes on sale.

The fe cards have been brilliant past gen, amongst the best, along with the top MSI and Asus. Same for the PCB internals. The 4090 fe is very quiet, but the best AIBs do have an edge there. Warranty I think they are all as good/bad as each other.

Honestly there isn't much in it other than what deidgn you prefer and then you've got to ask yourself is it worth that much more.

FE cards have indeed come along way from the old blowers.

Thats what I used to think but I got older and wiser and jumped off the upgrade merry-go-round Its not actually true though is it recycle 2k exactly.
