NVIDIA 5000 Series, What do we know so far?

[@xpeterson]

As someone who has only ever owned nvidia gpus, I really hope amd remains competitive. I feel like the only reason nvidia was allowed to have such exorbitant prices on the 40 series was lack of competition on the high end

[@user-zj3xl4nk1g]

What’s interesting to me is this, the gpu thing seems to be very personal. My experience is nvidia has very few issues compared to amd. I have had 6 different amd cards and none compared to the 3060, 3070, and 3080fe series, stability.

[@bfhandsomeface409]

I set a max of $600 on a GPU. Anything over that is just not worth the extra cash for playing games imo. No doubt Nvidia will have astronomical prices on the 5000 series though.

[@stangamer1151]

Either astonomical prices or negligible performance improvent and the same size of VRAM buffer. What a great choice...

[@rkwjunior2298]

I don't believe NVIDIA is in a hurry to release new GPUs. AMD have stated they won't be competing on the high end with the next gen and Intel will take a few years to be competitive. Also remember, any high end GPU they don't put into a consumer card they can charge more to a data center.

Yep. I agree. They sell 10 times the amount of GPU's than AMD and most of the Chips go to A.I. where they can charge 10 times the money

[@williehrmann]

Really? Why do ppl try to justify a graphics card that has no raytracing power at all and the worse FSR compared to DLSS, also missing important encoders for streaming and Frame Generation literally came almost 2 years late. That almost 1000$ on that is literally taking the money and putting it in the trash. You coul'd have gotten a decent 4080 or 4070 ti super for that money with almost double the RT performance in titles like Alan Wake 2, DLSS and FG from the start + good encoders.

[@MTS1738]

Ppl justify it because it gets more-equal depending on the game average frames per second and is cheaper than the counterpart, obviously. Unless you are bothered about ray tracing, it's pretty easy to see why the cards are competitive.​@williehrmann

[@williehrmann]

@@MTS1738 I mean yeah raytracing is the new industry standard and is the new bottleneck. Would you buy a card that has 3x the rasterizing power of a 4090, if when you turn on raytracing it performes worse than a 4060 ti? That is literally what a 7900xtx does but less exagerrated. It is like the same with pairing a 10 year old CPU with a new GPU. You need to avoid bottlenecks. And AMD cards bottleneck themselves hard in heavy raytracing games. AMD is just justifyable if you play 5-10 years old games, but even if you don't play CP2077, Hogwarts Legacy, Alan Wake 2 or similar games how do you know that in 1-2 years dere won't come out a game that you want to play which will have heavy raytracing. And if someone says they don'T care about raytracing why buy a highend card in the first place. Just stick to 1080p medium settings then. Raytracing uplifts the visual fidelity so much more than any more resolution or anything else besides maybe good textures could. These days turning on raytracing has become the most important thing in gaming to improve visual quality, even before upping your resolution from 1440p to 4k.

[@legiox3719]

There’s one thing I know for certain. They will be sold out within minutes and it will take months or even a year to get one. If you want to get one when they release online from 3rd parties, prepare to pay out the butt for one. And that comes to my conclusion. I’m 41, still love gaming, but I don’t have time to wait in line for hours, sit at computer pressing refresh every second, or buying from pathetic 3rd parties that jack up the price substantially. So I will get a 4000 series

[@haftarun8]

for the RTX 50 series, the 5080 needs to be at least as good as a 4090 in raster and superior in raytracing, and cost $899. Anything less of this or any price higher than this is a fail and sales will suffer as a consequence. They need their failed greed of the 4080 (should've been $799 at launch) if they want to restore consumer confidence in the upper-range. The 5090 is a pie-in-the-sky product, sure, but make the step down accessible to the non-wealthy but enthusiastic 4K gamer.

[@crzyces1693]

I passed on the 4090 and 4080/Super for various reasons. First was the price on both, with neither seeming like a fair price _to me_ at the time they were released. Then with the 4080 Super it seemed absurd to spend $1K+ more than halfway through a normal GPU cycle, which Nvidia might be making even longer than the 20-24 months we've been at since RTX cards were announced. Now I am kinda kicking myself as the 10GB of VRAM in my 3080FE is becoming a problem in more and more games, forcing me to use DLSS when there should not be a reason to, and then having to change from DLSS quality down a notch. That *SUCKS.* So I'm ready to camp out in the local Best Buy parking lot the night the 4090's go on sale. I capped myself at $2200, and if they are more than that I'll either get a 5080 or a used 4090. Probably the used 4090 as I have a feeling the 16GB of VRAM will yet again become an issue within a couple of years, even at 1440P once you turn raytracing on. I'd prefer to buy from AMD but they are just so far behind in RT atm that they simply are not a viable option for me, and with no high end cards coming out from them anytime soon that fit what I want it leaves Nvidia and their control panel that is still miles behind AMD's Catalyst software as the default winner...except when they cheap out on VRAM. I get it; I mean the 3080 would be a viable 4070 Super and Ti substitute if it had the 16GB of memory it should have had and Nvidia wants to force people who buy new cards to continue to do so if they are playing at anything over 1080P (which has been *ENTRY LEVEL* gaming for almost 20 fricken years now bc of bloody margins and the stock price always needing the damn line to go up exponentially higher; 4K has also been the most common *television* resolution in the US, Canada, UK and most of Western Europe and japan since 2017 based on sales but that's an entirely different can of worms which has to do with keeping OLED 2K and 4K prices absurdly high for far longer than they should have been able to). This whole GPU thing is getting absurdly frustrating. First we're forced to compete with miners, now the AI bubble is causing an even worse mess as these are no longer just scalper pricing with companies still fighting to earn gamers' business. This is set manufacturer pricing who are putting aside the worst yields to sell in cards that don't quite meet data center standards. A $10Bn a year business is now the darn afterthought, at least until the bubble pops and we are left with Nvidia, AMD, Apple and a couple other smaller companies who are all making AI accelerator chips atm. Until said bubble pops and/or the economy really takes a nose dive, and it will, we are stuck being 2nd class citizens. Btw, I am not saying AI isn't going to be a huge industry, just that we are in a bubble with a hundred other companies taking wafers from everyone while governments and businesses are spending way more than they should for hardware based on lies (self driving in 2016 anyone? Amazon self checkout? Did you all remember to eat your small rock to help with digestion today? What are we fricken chickens?). Heck, the employee handbook foor OpenAI tells their employees to be dishonest through exaggerations and what they think AI could be at some point. Pft. And how did I ramble all the way to this point? Hmm... Ahh well. I obviously hope the cards are fantastic across the board. I hope AMD pulls a fast one and gets a monster GPU out while tossing out a midrange card at a former midrange price that performs like a $700 offering from Nvidia and is competitive when you turn raytracing on close to full bore. Though midrange cards don't really affect me as I'm sticking to the high end for the near future, it absolutely affects the PC/Gaming market as a whole. When the midrange is healthy, the home PC gaming market booms.

[@josephfreisinger1488]

I don't have a gaming pc right now, but I'm going to wait for the RTX 5000 series so I can stay on top. When will the latest games

[@vekkuTV]

They can add more cuda cores, but adding stuff never comes for free. It's better for them to come up with something new, rather than just adding more or double of the same. If you think about it, a new technology could potentially cost half of what the double amount of those cuda cores would cost. If they do it that way, a 4090 here is about 2100 euro's for a MSI variant, you could potentially be looking at a card in the 5000 series (let's just sat 5090) for nearly double the amount of money. If that's the case, AMD will get a huge shot at delivering the same or nearly equal performance for a lot less money. If that's the case, after having NVIDIA cards ever since I can remember, I would have to leave NVIDIA for AMD.

[@myotherlefthand4880]

We know it will be really, really, REALLY expensive!

[@Gamer-q7v]

Nvidia completely cheaped out on the 4060, though. Way too much. The 4060 is based on the AD107 chip, and if you were to go by previous gen Nvidia GPUs, the 07 chips are normally used for the 50 class GPUs. This is the first time Nvidia has used an 07 chip for a 60 class GPU. The 60 class GPUs normally use the 06 chip. For example, the 3060 was on GA106, the 2060 on TU106, and now, all of a sudden, the 4060 uses AD107 instead of the AD106 chip it was expected to use. It makes no sense. This is just a shady marketing tactic that Nvidia used to try and trick gamers into thinking it's a 4060 when it's a rebranded 4050 in disguise. Hopefully, the RTX 50 Series won't suffer from this problem.

[@Gamer-q7v]

Battlemage and RDNA 4 should launch later this year and are said to be very competitive in the midrange segment. I don't think drivers would be nearly as big of a problem for Battlemage as they were for Alchemist. If Battlemage can deliver a massive performance increase over Alchemist with good drivers at reasonable prices, I think there is a good chance Intel will gain quite a bit of market share in the discrete GPU market. The flagship RDNA 4 GPU is rumoured to offer 7900 XT levels of raster performance and 4080 RT performance at half the price, which would be fairly impressive. If RDNA 4 and Battlemage can deliver powerful midrange GPUs at reasonable prices, then hopefully, it will convince Nvidia to pack significantly more processing power into their entry level and midrange GPUs. Competition can make that happen, and it benefits us consumers. It's the key to a healthy industry.

Not to be that guy, but................ ADA GPU's were actually praised for their power efficiency. Just because the 4090 uses a bunch of power, you still get a BUNCH of performance for that power. Ampere was TERRIBLE for that shitty Samsung node, but TSMC actually knows what they are doing. 50 series isn't going to be much more efficient if the rumors of Nvidia staying on 4nm are true. If they have delayed to actually...................deliver on their 3nm expectation for Blackwell, you will some improvements. ADA was already far ahead of AMD's latest in power efficiency. I do hope that AMD can bring many positive changes for RDNA 4, but given they are not doing a top end card, could be meh. Nvidia sucks and their prices suck, but their cards are getting more efficient.

[@xxmoomh556]

Everyone who owns a 4090 until this particular time is satisfied with the performance of his device, and the upgrade is a good thing, provided that the performance increase is above 70, and the upgrade is in all respects. There is a noticeable increase, and this is the right of the buyer.

Hi, here is my honest opinion. AV1 makes a difference & is "future proof" The 3080 is sufficient. Rather than buying an insanely overpriced RTX 5080 or a 5090 Id personally go for a upgrade to a AM5 CPU, DDR5 RAM, AM5 mobo instead. This will give you a much bigger overall upgrade to performance. The 5800X can't unlock full potential & will bottleneck a 5080 or 5090 GPU - so you wont see a massive improvement to your current gaming or streaming quality. Id go with a DDR5 6000 mHz, 30CL ram, a Ryzen 7 9700X new cpu availbe at start of August onwards, and a decent x870E mobo. Keep all other parts. (You will need to wait till end of the year for the mobo's to release) or you can go with a well reviewed X670E mainboard instead. This upgrade will let you fully unleash the potential of your RTX 3080 & you can get a faster GPU in the future, when prices are not the highest at launch. (You always pay a premium at product launch prices) But hey thats just me, a random on the web :p You can do whatever u want, as long as your Happy in the end.

couldn't go wrong for the right price. VRAM and die performance... for 4k the 4070ti/4080s/4090s 7800xt/7900gr/xt/xtx are all what I consider the minimum for 4k at this point. 1440p? they all will eat it. But, the bigger the gpu, the better/smoother things like RT will be. However, they can also makeup for perf. with upscalers. So, in reality you probably wont want much more than a 4070/7800xt. But, think about VRAM, RT, and features... Shouldn't need to spend a whole lot, a faster gpu isn't going to be leaps and bounds in terms of experience differences. What really makes a difference? OLED monitors. You won't notice DEEP details unless your CRAWLING through games. Hogwarts legacy is a game like that, or Metro Exodus... or maybe even RDR2... stuff like those games. If thats your playstyle... Even the highest end gpus in these games you will still get 'pop' in details... so regardless, theres software tricks the game engines use to smooth things like that out. But, 60fps in 4k is pretty reasonable for singleplayer games. 1440p should be easily attainable.

​@@Saybia1 Yep. I had two GTX 680's (Factory Overclocked with 4GB not 2GB) in sli and Crysis 3 ran at 15fps. I got about 30fps in Battlefield 4. I had to drop the resolution to 1080p on a Big £ss 32 inch monitor to play games.

[@jackmills7758]

the 5090 could be a good gpu for 8k gaming for demanding titles like red dead and call of duty. i also hope you can do 8k 60fps with the 5090, if not then i don't see myself getting it. 8k 60fps sounds insane but the 4090 is getting close to that if you got a powerful cpu paired with it. i can see the 5090 good for 4k 240hz monitors too, maybe the 5080 can do that with max graphical settings on modern titles.

[@williehrmann]

I mean 8k could be possible on non demanding titles like call of duty and older games like red dead redemption 2. But look how the 4090 struggles in Alan Wake 2 to even maintain 60 fps WITH DLSS Quality and Frame Generation on in 4k. It barely can run 4k at all and more titles like this will come out in the coming months til 5000 series release. I expekt Ark 2, Stalker 2 be very heave on the GPU. I believe the 5090 will be a decent 4k card finally not being at the edge of runability in the new benchmark games. But then again for what would you ever need 8k. I don't really see much difference from 1080p to 1440p (upgraded recently) and 1440p to 4k is almost no difference at all for 2x performance cost. I think 1440p is the sweet spot unless you play on a 60 inch monitor.

8k still isn't viable even with a 4090

[@drunkhusband6257]

@@williehrmann A 4090 runs most titles at 4k max settings past 60fps or higher

[@NahBNah]

8k is stupid and also no it won’t be able to run it. 6090 might be when it’s possible but again 8k is pointless and stupid.

[@NahBNah]

@@drunkhusband6257lots of room for improvement. We need to hit 144fps on 4k before we start talking about 8k lol there’s going to be more and more monitors at 4k with high refresh rates.

I have been using a 970 gaming from msi since it launched 10years ago and finally I'm ready to grab a new rig, Waiting patiently to see what the 5080 and high end RDNA4 cards will bring.

[@dx48.]

I upgraded from 970 to 4090 and it was insane. The change from 1080p / medium settings to 4k / max possible settings is absolutely worth it. Never going back to 1080p.

[@dcskater012345]

Im in this exact scenario. I want to buy a 4090, but im so hesitant because im curious as to what the 5090 will behold.

[@HerrenGamingNews]

I'm looking forward to upgrading to the 5090, I recently got an LG 34" ultrawide monitor I'd like to get 144fps.

Why

@@kraithaywire people probably afraid its going to melt down the line. Only thing keeping me from getting one sadly.

@@ChaosDragon004 that hasn't been the case in a long time. Just get an AIB card.

That's because most people aren't interested in bankrupting themselves just to play CP2077 with path-tracing. No matter what influencers tell you about things like RT and DLSS, at the end of the day, native FPS is king and always will be. The biggest advantage that I see on the 4090 is the 24GB of VRAM but I already have that with my XTX.

[@benammiswift]

@@AvroBellow I agree with RT etc but DLSS is stunning technology. Native resolution is absolutely not king because with DLSS2 < you cannot tell the difference. With FSR, native is 100% king because you can always tell FSR but DLSS is great tech

[@NorthWolfe]

5090 as soon as available from a reliable partner. Competition? On what planet would that be? I see Intel getting closer and closer to AMD if they are not careful. AMD fans? The only people I know who buy AMD are "Brokies" who can't afford Nvidia. Unfortunately, you didn't talk about the connector. Will Nvidia adopt a better option than that thing on the 40 cards? I had no issues in about 6/8 cards, still, it is always a concern. None of my friends had problems but we all use full towers, don't know if that is a factor. Oh, and we also know how to plug connectors properly. Another W is on the way, I'll be pre-ordering as soon as possible. The 5090 will be out of stock for at least 6 months, as usual. Cheers.

The 3000 series is a power hog and the only efficient 4000 series card is the regular4080, the 4080supet pulls 50 more watts for 1fps at 4k.
