I thought this was a bad move for Nvidia here to put more wattage into this hardware as most gamers won't need the extra horsepower unless they use them for mining crypto or for video and music and AI content framing/creation here to make money off of their PCs at home. I run for instance 2 ASIC AL2 lites at home from iceriver and they both need 500-watts and they get hot so the two slot design to me is questionable if some games run the gpu at a full 575 watts on the FE model before third party makers put in OC mods into the hardware and software in the aftermarket. This is again why I was so lukewarm on the desktop 5090 here as the two slot design has to prove itself and how well it can remain cool under full load.

[@felixcosty]

500 watts that is great if you live in the far north and what to heat your home while gaming.

[@Thomas_Angelo]

@felixcosty so basically, a heater and a graphics card for only the price of a used car?

@ bonus Nvidia will have to charge more for that feature. SShhhhh.

Excluding Scams from Ebay that also show up sometimes or "really strange" offers that... just never really have been there available.

For some reason in my country in Europe, since the end of december, all rtx GPUs price went way up. I bought my 4060 ti a year ago and it became 30% more expensive recently. And a year ago it was already 20% more expensive than in the US. Also there are hardly rtx 4090's available and most of them almost doubled to $3100 for unknown reasons which is absolutely insane, they used to be around $1900.

So after getting my 3080 at MSRP during the scalper wars, the 40 series had a price problem, and now the 50 series has a price x performance problem... Great.

[@pedwards5555]

Yeah was waiting for this one as well. Disappointing to say the least. I'm not holding my breath for the 60 series seeing all this. Will burn the 12 pin cables, be 4 slots thick, require it's own 1000W power supply, and cost $2400. The future looks great. Yay.

[@kingcars]

I’m on the exact same boat. Got my 3080 for $700 a month after release. Was considering continuing my usual 4-5 year PC build cadence with the 50 series and a new X3D CPU, but that’s not looking likely at the moment.

@ I dont think steve intended that to be a pun. OP perceived it as a pun. Steve was stating the obvious. Because there was a 4090ti, that was never released..... Until now, performance-wise.

[@MK-je7kz]

So Nvidia is at Intel stage of development: it's only bigger processor using more watts.

[@3rd.world.eliteAJ]

The 3nm process node by TSMC became available only late last year.. So there literally was no upgrade to be had..

[@John-PaulHunt-z8l]

Exactly. This is when I start seeing if the game devs really do care about the PC as a gaming platform or if they say fuck it port the console versions as MONEY TALKS AKA CONSOLES RULE!

[@ricesan2917]

Big kudos to the thermal team at nvidia. Going from that huge prototype 4090ti cooler to a 2 slot cooler and still handling 600W-700W is pretty crazy

[@ALEX336X]

I’m actually happy it’s not extremely impressive. Got a new Micro Center nearby and I know I would be very tempted to get one if I ever seen one in stock.

[@Skarfar90]

I did some preliminary estimates and came out to around 35% better performance, when factoring both raster and raytracing together (4K), and it seems like I was right. Very underwhelming for the price increase and two year gap between series. But the most underwhelming products will be the 5080 and the 5070 (non-Ti).

AMD definitely needs to release 9080 XT, this is the ultimate opportunity.

[@lharsay]

It doesn't make sense for the to spend the same R&D as Nvidia to make a card in the least popular market segment while having a much smaller market share. Not to mention Nvidia's massive server/workstation presence which helps them sell many high end GPU dies effectively lowering the R&D cost of the RTX5090 (just like Ryzen vs Intel).

[@haukikannel]

Too Late… developing rdna4 big would take a year at least… so better wait UDNA

I mean, if it's an opportunity then AMD will fuck it up, that's literally their MO.

[@swordfishfogel4988]

I guess they are unable to make this card or they would have done. Like you say it's the golden opportunity.

[@mikehudgins8545]

I love y’all’s reviews! I will say my use cases don’t fall into what you describe here, but I still watch anyway. The 2 reasons I’m personally interested in the 5090 are: local AI performance for coding (which is why I can afford one in the first place lol), and VRchat, which can use pretty much unlimited VRAM. Not only that but upcoming VR headsets have WAY more pixels than a 4k monitor. There are actual recreational uses for more than 24gb of VRAM, but the professional use case is also there. UEVR with my Bigscreen Beyond brings my 3080 10gb to its knees lol.

[@hoxton7161]

This was basically an ad for the 7900xtx.

[@tyoung319]

Amd could use some help, but it's really not lol. AMD getting smoked last gen showed without RT capabilities people aren't willing to pay the price. The 4070S smokes the XTX once RT is on, so it makes sense the 9000 series isn't going after anything above mid level and focusing on RT.

[@lupintheiii3055]

AMD was able to double the performance at same power and using half the bandwidth ON THE SAME NODE with the 6900XT compared to the RadeonVII... So NO, being on the same node isn't an excuse.

[@xpk0228]

NV did that from keplar to maxwell as well. They just don't care anymore

[@Lionheart1188]

Oh Relax FFS, Steve's just pointing it out.

[@theocmaniak]

Bad argument, Radeon VII had a pretty small chip, since a lot of the space was occupied by HBM2 memory. 6900XT used that space for computing power instead, which obviously made the card a lot faster. Now 6900XT had 520 mm² and that is a HUGE die. 5090 has 744 mm², to make it more powerful, it would need to be bigger still.

[@SineCordis]

Ada was a very good architecture unlike Vega though. With Blackwell there wasn't much room for architectural improvement apparently. With Maxwell, Nvidia delivered 50% better Perf/W on the same node, but that's something you can only do once.

[@sega_kid4288]

For some reason this makes me more excited for what AMD may have. If the new FSR is decent, RT is stronger, price is right, the mid/low range maybe exciting again.🤔

[@OleBrumHonning]

I'm impressed with how well the 7900 xtx stacks up against the competition. If you ignore the 5090.

[@John-PaulHunt-z8l]

The most under-appreciated and undervalued GPU out there as it never was above ripoff for current price standards and gamers HATED IT back when it first launched. That's the power and stupidity of fanboys for ya along with gpu makers monopolizing game devs using the unreal engine pushing dlss and ray-tracing as forced standards. It will be interesting to see how well the 9070xt does vs the 5080 here but again fanboys will flame it regardless.

[@hineighbor]

Love my 4090 ! I'm good for the next 2 years at least!

[@NativeWarrior081]

Hearing Steve mention "CPU limitations" on the Ryzen 9800X3D is mind-boggling, yet the reasons are clear. Beyond poor optimization by game developers, Moore's Law is becoming increasingly irrelevant as even the fastest CPUs, like the Ryzen 9800X3D, struggle to meet the performance demands of the RTX 5090, creating bottlenecks. Major semiconductor manufacturers like TSMC and Intel must shift their R&D efforts toward next-generation materials, such as graphene or carbon nanotubes, which offer vastly superior electrical properties over silicon. Adopting these materials could eliminate the reliance on technologies like DLSS 4 Frame Generation and its "fake frames," enabling performance to stem from raw computational power and rasterization rather than compensating for poor optimization with artificial solutions.

Thanks Steve, but you need to do test RT at 4k with upscaling. It's a 2000 usd GPU, people who buy it have 4k monitors. I'm glad you tested wukong at 4k, but you only looked at DLSS Q, DLSS P is typically what's used at 4k. You could've tried DLSS B if you found DLSS P's image quality to be too much of a compromise. Also i would've liked to see Indiana Jones tested.
