I owned one before upgrading to a 4090 but performance wasn't too far off basically a locked 60fps at native 4k with everything maxed with Ray tracing while a 4090 is 80--90 fps most of the time with some games going into 120fps territory, actually playing doesn't feel that different.

[@johngray3449]

[@kenshirogenjuro873]

Nvidia is running on two things: 1) they know AMD is trying to accelerate RDNA5 which unlike RDNA4 is likely to have a halo-card in the lineup, so they need to make the 5090 as powerful as possible in the event it ends up having to compete against the hypothetical “9900XTX” (or whatever) for very long at all 2) they have enough fanboys who make buying them their identity no matter how expensive it is and how few games the extra hardware has any benefit for…so no market impediment to dissuade them from developing and releasing the product

[@jakem5039]

The 5070Ti *

There’s no downward price pressure on them AT ALL for the 5090. I wouldn’t be surprised even by a 3000 price point, it essentially has no competition. Though I hope it’s more sensible, I do doubt it.

[@mojojojo6292]

There was no pressure on them even with previous gens. People buying the best want the best. Amd doesn't compete on features and sucks for productivity which is a big segment of 4090 buyers

@@mojojojo6292 It's true, I have a 4090 for productivity, exporting a 4K 60fps HDR video in Resolve with a complex grade and effects will use something like 18GB VRAM, so there's no other option really unless you want to slow stuff down drastically. Before that I had twin 3090s, I just sort of pay the Nvidia tax sadly, but this time I'm wondering if even I may baulk at the price for work uses... how far will they go? The main reason I can't use AMD is all the software I use is quickest with CUDA, which is Nvidia only. There are some people trying to create third-part from-scratch ways to interpret CUDA on other cards, but it probably won't happen in consumer land for many reasons.

[@HyperionZero]

No one normal is gonna spend $3K on a graphics card, the 5090 is going to end up being $1800. NVIDIA knows what it’s doing and it’s not gonna try to inch every profit of it to lose a massive audience.

​@@HyperionZero TBH I didn't know anyone "normal" who bought a 4090 just for gaming though. They were all except for one, people buying it for productivity, and adding another thousand to, for example, save cumulative hours of render time is a small investment over a year or two. Everyone using them for production buys the top RTX because the step up to the Quaddro cards is gigantic cost increase and not usually beneficial.

@@mojojojo6292 yes i bought a 4090 for production, I use 18GB or more VRAM in Resolve regularly, and all 24GB in Substance Painter. It's very useful having 24GB! I'd never have bought it for gaming.

400W is disappointing if true, I guess we can undervolt, they are simply relying on beefy coolers to gain performance, that's lazy, make them more efficient.

[@rasmusolesen5307]

Real efficency gains only come from reducing transistor size. And they hit that limit many years go. Hence artificial upscaling and frame generation.

[@squirrelsinjacket1804]

Not really,

[@istvanvincze7411]

UV is a saving grace though, because the perf to W ratio has a curve of a plateau. Multiple sources after the release of the 4090 pointed out that these new Nvidia cards look like they've been "overclocked in factory" or something. You could realistically drop it down to 500 and still keep 90-95% of the performance ( the numbers are speculation just for the sake of example ), and looking at the specs of the 4080 AND the fact that AMD has withdrawn from the high end market, I espect to see nothing less than the repeat of the comical difference between 4090 and anything in any benchmark, be it gaming or productivity, so UV should be fine.

Well doesn't core parking kinda go hand-in-hand with any processor packing multiple chiplets on the same package?

Best case (aka "La-La-Land")-scenario: Nvidia have seen the error of their ways (4080 -> 4080 Super price correction seems to point to this) and will launch the 5090 at roughly the same MSRP as the 4090 - which would almost be justifiable given its specs. 5080 will see a slight price correction to ~USD 900 and everything below it will be calculated based on its price-tag. Again: While this is probably totally wrong, I just don't see how they could justify a 1000 (or more) MSRP for a 16GB card. The only "upside" my pessimistic self can see in all of this is for 4090 owners ... who don't really have a reason to get rid of their existing card in the near future. That GPU is still crazy fast and should last well into 2025 and perhaps beyond.

[@Hybris51129]

That's the key part that people who poo pooed the 4090 is it's a great card, you use it probably for 5-7 years or beyond with little to no performance issues. It spreads that cost out to the point that per a year it's cheaper than most mid range GPU's and delivers a much better experience during it's life. We saw this already with all the 1080 Ti folks who "overpaid" back then who are still often sitting pretty with their cards on everything except the most demanding games at the highest possible settings or 4k. Anyone who wants to replace their 4090 or even 3090 is a carrot chaser.

The second Nvidia found out that AMD is exiting the high end market Nvidia decided to re-play the idea that backfired with RTX 40: Shift everything down a tier. The GB 202 will have the 5090 (which is already cut down 11%) and then eventually the 5080Ti (probably 15k cores and 24GB). The "70 class die" will have the 5080 in it's full configuration (which is expected to be about 10% faster than a 4090) and cost $1200 if we are VERY VERY lucky. The 5070Ti will likely also be 16GB (and $900 or something stupid) and be between a 4090 and 4080 in performance. It's not until we get to the 5070 (probably 12GB again) that AMD will have an answer. If Nvidia launches the 5070 for $700 and AMD launches the 8800XT for $500 people will complain a lot... and then buy the 5070.

From a very reliable source at nVidia (a buddy I used to race with and high up nVidia executive chain), 5090 will arrive early Q1 2025 and will start $2499 with FE's at $2699 and once again very limited supply as to provide "opportunity" for resellers to increase the price and margins even higher ... so early adopters should expect to be paying around $3000-$3200 US.

Because certain classes of GPU's have the VRAM they do in correlation with their intended use case, and if you use that class at its intended resolution and quality settings, you'll find you always have more VRAM to spare.

Wow, a wopping 16GB of vram on a graphics card which will likely have an MSRP of about 1200 USD or more, and most models will likely go for 100-300 dollars MORE than the MSRP. Sure, that will be plenty of vram most of the time for maybe a year or two after it releases, but the vram will likely become an increasingly limiting factor for the RTX 5080 over time. That 16GB of vram is going to be a problem for ray tracing, and also frame-generation, in an increasingly larger number of games each year after it's first launched. I think 16 GB will probably be pretty good for next gen mid-range graphics cards, but it's just not enough for a high-end one in that price range.

I'm just thankful that I have my favorite games to replay, and to re-experience with mind-blowing immersion on my "High FoV Gaming" setup. That's in addition to the huge number of PC games from the last 40+ years that I look forward to trying for the first time.

RTX 5090 it's only $3,999, and scalper will sell it for $9,999 🤣

[@averageenjoyer1930]

PC gamers keep buying this to make sure Nvidia gets even richer

[@JakeSulinjr]

I disappeared during the pandemic... what I miss!? 😂

[@truefitness2622]

It's called 5090 cause thats how much it's gna cost

[@loneventhorizon]

0:30 lol worst graph ever

[@adam_bbing]

I just don't want to get rid of my 3070 cause EVGA no longer is making cards :(

[@Stubbies2003]

Yeah this is indeed a bummer and we only have NVidia to thank for that. Still running my EVGA 3080 Ti too.

[@pastuh]

4090 is nice, expecting 5090 to be better ;>

[@pregorygeck6605]

It's not the 5090 people should worry about. But everything under in the 50series.

[@lucasrem]

preg WHY ? RTX 4070 not good enough, why replace it ? MUM I NEED IT NOW NOOBS ONLY CRY !

[@ChristopherWalkenPUA]

Gonna need a mortgage to afford a 5090......

[@damsen978]

Im noob at hardware. But is the 600 watts consumption from the 5090 worrisome? What if i cap fps to 60 or 120 in games as to prevent the GPU from using more energy? Would that work? How much less energy would it use compared to uncapped fps? I know it depends on the game but i think its unneeded to have more frames than what your display can show in its refresh time.

[@futuza]

You can undervolt and downclock the GPU to force it to use less power (at the cost of worse performance). Most games also allow you to cap FPS. If you're buying a 5090 though I doubt wattage use is really a consideration unless you're trying to run some kind of GPU server farm or something and reduce electricity costs.

[@damsen978]

​@@futuza You can just use rivatuner statistics server to cap the framerate of any game you want. My idea would be to cap the framerate at 120 fps, since 120 hz is what my display shows. So a top-end GPU would guarantee a consistent framerate without any drops (depending on the game).
