[@gecgoodpasi1654]

it was also a new chip formfactor which enabled that kind of gain which 5090 doesnt have they mostly rely on software and AI improvements with this generation as thats kinda the future when u approach physical limitations of chip manufacturing. its not perfect yet and they still make big changes each gen but AI will at some point the only way u can actually get better performance if the hardware doesnt grow to insane proportions. Also im not sure but the 3090 was still suffering from the covid GPU price craze i think so the 1499 MSRP was very far from the actual price if thats the case.

[@pierce2001]

Thanks for putting so much time into this video!!

[@TheGamefaq]

Jay, the reason you can't use Elmor's PCIe adapter to measure the power consumption of the PCIe slot is because Nvidia doesn't use a DIRECT PCIe connection to the motherboard with the FE, but because of the fans blowing through the card design, Nvidia already installed a riser cable on the FE card from the factory! Technically speaking, Elmor's adapter is riser no. 2, which is why the signal integrity of PCIe 5.0 is lost because the voltages that are absolutely necessary for PCIE 5.0 drop too much because each plug contact means an additional transition resistance! Switch PCIe back to 4.0 in the BIOS and you will see that Elmor's adapter works again (and also the 5090 FE) because the voltage tolerances under PCIe 4.0 don't have to be so high. Use a different 5090 from a board partner and you will see that Elmor's adapter suddenly works again despite PCIe 5.0. So, as you said in the video, it's not because Elmor's adapter still has PCIe 4.0 and/or is incompatible, but because the voltages required for PCIe 5.0 simply drop too much with 2 adapters. In the future, these types of problems will become more and more common because the technology only uses faster connections, which means that every detour via adapters and extensions represents a hurdle that is not only measurably worse, but will completely disable the function itself. Because it prevents signal integrity. EDIT: OHH and I forgot...If you plan on using the FE with a typical riser cable (even if it says 5.0!) for STANDING installation in a typical fish tank case like the Lian Li O11 Dynamic etc., FORGET THAT, it won't work for the same reason mentioned before! DO NOT buy a 5090 FE for standing installation via a RISER cable! Buy a 5090 Boardpartner card for it! The same applies of course to EVERYONE who uses water cooling and wants to put the 5090 under water...

I understand though the 3090 to 4090 80% uplift was because they switched from 8nm to tsmc 4nm (really 5nm). No one currently sells better than that so the 5090 is stuck at tsmc 4nm. It's gonna be at least 2-3 years before 3nm is available. So next gen might be getting the same huge uplift.

[@NetworkNinja84]

Still a dud with all that power usage though. It’s just that it’s focused more on Ai than anything.

[@jonathanryan9946]

​@@NetworkNinja84 oh I don't disagree. AI is how Nvidia is compensating for generational increases in chips becoming more difficult. As to the power requirements next gen, it's hard to say. Smaller transistors does mean it's power efficiency will increase but that doesn't mean Nvidia still won't overdo it. That stated there is an upper limit to the wattage increases... the breaker wattage limits in people houses in America is way small than the rest of the world. Nvidia won't risk their biggest market having to rewire their houses past us electrical codes. Plus other items will have to be on the same circuit.

[@Kirinketsu_]

@@NetworkNinja84 lol where do you people that go on about power usage live where you cannot afford to run gpus because of their power? First of all do you think it uses 500watts 24/7? Unless you were mining with a gpu its not going to be using more than 40 to 80 watts max when not gaming or being used for work. Even when gaming its likely not hitting that 500+ watt load and even if it is how long are you gaming for? Back when bulbs were 60watts the lights people left on during the day used way more power than even the 5090 at full load uses.

[@TheRealHypervizor]

@@Kirinketsu_ FR. They just like repeating buzzwords on comment sections for attention. They have no actual understanding of how GPU's function outside of "iT plAy GAme!".

@FredSaidIt either way, it is close enough to a wash. This card also has 32GB of GDDR7, which doesn't impact gaming. This card is more than a gaming card, even if people like to say it's not. This also uses the same manufacturing process as the 40 series. A lot of the 30-40 was samsung 8nm to tsmc 4.5nm

I remember my first pc build. Feb in 2012. I bought a radeon 7970 for $744 (converted from SEK incl tax at 21Feb 2012 exchangerate) It was the most powerful single gpu at that time. $744 in 2012 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $1,022.72 today

Was it? I built a rig with a 680 in 2012 and and an i7-3770k. Still using the same rig, just upgraded to a 1080 and a bit more RAM (DDR3). Can't believe I've been using the same computer for 13 years. It cost me 2000 euros at the time I think, for the next rig I'll probably need double.

The problem is buying a lets say $800 gpu today then one or two years from now a game like black myth comes out and cripples its performance in half because of state of the art technology being used for its graphic design. so now you're forced to either change settings or spend another $800 or so to upgrade if anything new is out by then. I missed the 4090, because i was on a gaming hiatus from 2020-2024, but, the 5090 interests me because its something I can use for such a long time without needing to consider another GPU or worry about being crippled by a new game down the line.

A 4090 will run damn near every game over 120hz which is the native limit for most gaming and TV displays. So what's the point of upgrading from a 4090 to a 5090, unless you have one of the handful 4k displays that support the new DP2.1 cable? Because all that extra 4k fps means absolute squat if the 4090 can already hit the display fps cap.

That the 5090 has 100% of the air exhausted into the case reminds me of the pain points I went through with two 2080 TI FEs, which were the same. In that instance, water cooling worked, but was so much more effort to maintain...as you say, the case can make a difference, and recently switching that configuration to an ASUS ProART case let me run air-cooled 2X 2080 TI FEs at good and consistent low temps--because that case is elaborately-airflow-centrie.

So basically a 4090 Ti with a software upgrade that give you fake and high FPS values at the same latency as the native or base framerate while being 25% more expensive than the already expensive 4090. AIB versions will cost even more. LMFAO I think I’ll be more than fine with my 4090.

Nah - you wouldn’t get 32,5% average increase from a Ti version - that’s usually in the vicinity of 5-10%. We’ve just been spoiled by the 3090 and 4090 increase in performance. It’s quite easy to see that Nvidia hit the powerlimit of their connector - which is why 5090 is only running at 21k cuda cores over the potential full 24k cuda cores of this generation.

That's why i probably in some future will switch to Intel or AMD while they don't get sick with that illness. I always told to people that "You are all squeamish ****eaters, who thinks if game doesn't work in 60+ FPS then this shouldn't exist." And everyone hate me for that. For me if this is not multiplayer(where 45 stable FPS is more than enough, after all it's not e-sport where FPS and ping matters) 30 FPS is enough. And NOW it is better, for me personal, have 30 REAL FPS, than 120+ frame-generated-FPS. + the less FPS you have the more artifacts that frame generation will have. And fun fact we already had some games where devs didn't give a thing about optimization at release, so it was below 60 at ultra settings(as usually everyone like to play). And without DLSS we probably still have such games. And yet everyone still would like to eat some sh... stuff like this for some reason and get happy about it. Sadly. :(

It runs good still, and I am running an AM4 mobo with a Ryzen 5 5600G and 32GB of DDR4 3200. My only limitation is my NVME storage at 1 TB Samsung 980 PRO. So, if my machine is a $10,000 machine, I guess I did well. The inflation on hardware and everything else is crazy when you consider an iPhone 14 cost $10 in China to make.

Frame Generation’s real name should be Frame smoothing or something like that. It’s just smoothing things out and the perception is (sometimes) better experience, but that doesn’t mean it’s the true experience of high fps gaming. And also it’s smoother when the base fps is already high vs low. So it’s only worth turning on when you don’t even need it turned on.

People need to keep in mind, while they're salivating over FPS, that if your monitor is a 120hz or 144hz monitor, it's not going to display anything more than 120fps or 144fps respectively.
