RTX 5090 Tested On 7950X3D: FE Hardware, DLSS 4, Benchmarks & More

[@60DollarCodger]

APM and Will, I really really liked this format. And I can tell and appreciate that you guys thought of how to tackle this new landscape of looking at the cards holistically and incorporating experience metrics/discussion. Well done.

[@SaccoBelmonte]

The spirit of Gordon lives in Will's voice.

[@retrosean199]

It's like a Full Nerd discussion segment but just about the new card and the new features... good background discussion.

[@VarriskKhanaar]

DLSS 4 is a 'whole lot faster' than the DLSS 3.5, but given the description of 'playing games in jello' comes to mind it's just a RTX 4090 Ti with a 30% more heat generation and >30% more power draw. Did nVidia hire Intel Engineers recently?

[@LeonardTavast]

And 30% more expensive.

[@LeesChannel]

700+ watts is what my space heater draws on low 😬

[@pilotbsinthesky3443]

Thanks for spending time on MFG and being honest as an average gamer in non-first person shooters it is non-noticeable. I only use my PC for MSFS and am looking forward to MFG. I have seen a few benchmarks showing not much of an uplift yet in MSFS, but honestly I think this is a programming issue from ASOBO as MSFS 2024 has so many issues as is at the moment. Good Vid

[@Meddixi]

First time since 980 i will not be updating to new gen. Finally :)

[@daltimond]

Thanks guys for doing the work for this

[@PohnnyRico]

eww That leaves me feeling bad for smaller 5000 cards

[@matthiasmartin4355]

Let's hope the RTX 5080 delivers because otherwise gamers building highend machines were in a better situation when the RTX 4090 was still in production than they are with this 2k USD 575W behemoth.

[@robertlawrence9000]

Good info! Thanks!

[@skeetssaer2018]

600 Watts of power draw is not in anyway good. The Memory also runs in the 90s so how long do you think before we start seeing 5090s on Channels like Northwest Repair.

[@Aethelbeorn]

Depends. What are the manufacturer temperature tolerances for GDDR7? I can find it for GDDR6x and previous generations.

[@skeetssaer2018]

@@Aethelbeorn 95c is still 95c imagine in a real case with restricted air flow a test. bench is not a typical case

[@POVwithRC]

600 is fine. If the memory rates above 95c, then yeah. 95c is literally just 95c. Normally you are one to agree with but you are out of line here tbh fam.

[@skeetssaer2018]

@@POVwithRC All depends on what you pay for power.

[@PetterNorthpole]

Gotta undervolt that bastard for sure. 600W is crazy. I saw another video with 620w spikes.

[@FredSaidIt]

The power draw is a bigger factor than most understand. You need a case that can dump 700-800 watts out of the case (if you combine CPU GPU and heat generated by PSU, fans etc), you probably want a 1200W PSU to be on the efficient side, you want to have GEN5 PCIE to leverage the technology. And if your environment isn't air conditioned properly you're going to be sweating. Luckily the 5090 is going to be as rare as hen's teeth, so few gamers are going to make the mistake. It's bad enough with a 350-400W GPU already.

[@JBrinx18]

A tiki with a 5090 would be impressive to see

[@KenjiEspresso]

Sounds like it will heat your room.

[@sheratedis]

So, what we have is RTX 4090 TI ?

[@tiffanyorlane2444]

Thank you for your real and good conclusions . Great video. I know that i will be happy to change my 1070Mobile for a 5090 in my new refresh pc of 6 years. Thank you Nvidia too.

[@hbdude155]

Putting that much power in 2 slots 😮

[@ronaldhunt7617]

Why do people reviewing the 5090 INSIST on using MSRP when finding a 4090 at MSRP outside a tiny window right after it came out is about as likely as finding Bigfoot and Elvis? The 4090s price has been well over 2000 USD much of its life and is closer to 3000 USD now which if you take a 25 percent uplift, with a lot of new extras (encoders/decoders, better cores, more and faster memory, DLSS, upscaling, raytracing, AI to name a few) at LESS than what a 4090 sells out is a HUGE bargain!

[@davidburk4546]

47:51 “Some people like the best” and only in Photoshop 😂

[@greenbow7888]

How come the Nvidia Founder's Edition is the only review released, and not the partner card boards? Obviously an embargo but weird.

[@xpodx]

It's not overkill. Never enough power.

[@PetterNorthpole]

So you can use a 850W psu?

[@ElladanKenet]

Nvidia officially recommends a 1000w PSU. Considering they got Cyberpunk to push it to 700w on the GPU alone (not counting cpu, ram, etc.), I don't think I'd risk an 850w.

[@PetterNorthpole]

@@ElladanKenet That 700w is the total system power (if you are talking about this video). They didnt use any device to isolate the GPU.

[@ElladanKenet]

@ Okay. In that case, do math. You need a 20% overhead for degradation and power fluctuations. That gives you a total power allotment of 840w. Doesn't leave you much wriggle room. I'd be very nervous about using that. And again, Nvidia is recommending a 1000w PSU. The ONLY way I might consider it is if you undervolted, and I dunno how much undervolting you could do to get to 80% utilization. And really, you're gonna buy a 5090 and then undervolt it and lose some of that power you paid for?

[@PetterNorthpole]

​@ Just wondering what degradation are you talking about. A 850W 80+ Titanium can output 1000w. The 20% is for efficiency (power draw from the wall) A 850W 80+ can output 850W (and a bit over) 100% 24/7.

[@scottprice8941]

Is Nvidia Reflex 2 out yet?

[@pcworld]

No and no news on availability, but Nvidia did announce the first 2 games are Valorant and The Finals: www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/reflex-2-even-lower-latency-gameplay-with-frame-warp/ -Adam

[@gorky_vk]

Interesting that other who actually measure frametimes with MFG conclude that it doesn't solve problem with bad frame pacing but you claim it does. Placebo effect? To me sounds like that because there is no explanation how it would solve it at all, if engine deliver 10 frames during lets say 100ms at pace of every 10ms (and MFG convert that to 40) and then suddenly deliver just 7 for the next 100ms MFG can convert that only to 28 instead of previous 40 and it must be noticeable. No frame generation tech can solve that problem.

[@_GntlStone_]

I want to know about Adam's tablet with pen!

[@pcworld]

I love reMarkable tablets, and this one is the Paper Pro: remarkable.com/store/remarkable-paper/pro -Ada

[@AZBCDE]

Nvidia partners will probably charge even more than the founders edition

[@J0xxe]

@8:48 134F (56C) metal will definitely burn you, what are you smoking

[@rlan253]

The RTX 5090 is overpriced for the performance it delivers. Thank you for your honesty!

[@xpodx]

I'll be getting a msi 5090 i think. Suprim. Vanguard or something

[@InfinityPCs]

It's not "a whole lot faster"...

[@ContactLightYT]

I just bought end of last year a corsair power supply that said it was atx 3.1 and it does not have a dedicated 12vhpw port so im going to have to use the adapter. Because im not buying another one.

[@MrRdt1970]

It’s a bit disappointing I was expecting 175fps at 4k on 5090

[@otrapendejada]

Blender or at least cinebench

[@gebus5633]

No. All the frames are not fake frames.

[@sons726]

costs 25%more than a 4090 only 27% better even at 4k meh

[@scruball1375]

I really don't care about the 5090. 5080, 5070 - maybe.

[@AZBCDE]

At $1999 I wouldn’t either

[@POVwithRC]

Ok, but what does your personal preference add to the discourse? Like, hold my hand here. Tell me why I care about what your preference in GPU will be.

[@fairwarning17]

so i was hoping to see the 5090 fe on the terra.

[@fairwarning17]

nvm 7:00

[@iamdmc]

1h video with no time stamps/chapters not cool guys

[@pcworld]

There are timestamps. If KZbin doesn't load them in automatically you can look in the description and they should be clickable there. -Adam

[@iamdmc]

@pcworld thanks Adam

[@POVwithRC]

You know what's really not cool? Making your only input complaining about timestamps and otherwise being a complete ingrate.

[@OZWizard]

Why bother with the review of the RTX 5090, I would just focus on the RTX 5080 and RTX 5070, no one other than a few gamers can afford the RTX 5090 so why bother with it, and a good amount of folks who can afford it will not be able to buy it anyway. Just a waste of time, just like reviewing a 10,000 TV, who's buying that right?

[@FreshKyd]

I would appreciate timestamps in a video like this. I can’t fathom any reason not to include them in a review… other than to inflate watch time metrics.

[@pcworld]

Timestamps are there in the description and showing up for me, not sure why you aren't able to see them. Sorry about that. -Adam

[@retrosean199]

The video has chapters and timestamps for me....????
