Report: RTX 5090 Priced at $1999

That's actually cheaper than I expected. I still think it's crazy money for it but cheaper than expected. They have no reason to price them cheaper.
 
Pathetic if you buy this even with the disposable income you should have a long hard think about whether the money would be better invested in a PS5 pro.

What NVIDIA bullshit marketing features will this have? Fake frames? More fake frames? Fake colors?
 
Just buy a PS5 Pro. Lol.

It will do!

Yep. PS5 Pro and 4080 mobile......

Well everyone knows it order to be part of the PC club, you have to buy the very best GPU or don't bother. The only option left is to get a PS5 Pro
 
Centre of my new build. Just wondering about which CPU should I get with it and should I wait for DDR6 …so many questions. :)
 
No plans to move past my dual 27 inch 1440p displays. 5080 will probably be the sweet spot for me.

Hopefully it isn't crazily gimped compared to the 5090.
 
If it's 28 gbps, that would be almost 80% more memory bandwidth.
Memory bandwidth alone doesn't indicate the performance uplift you'll get or even close. 70% would make it the largest increase since the days of the 8800 GTX, surpassing even the bump we got from the 3090 to 4090, which was that large because we basically had two die shrinks in one generation.

70% isn't happening. 50% at most.
 
Interesting story: Back in 2006 I bought a GeForce 7950 GX2 (nvidia's fastest card at the time) on newegg for $538 + shipping and then was posting about it on a forum with my benchmark scores. One of the comments I got was "must be nice to be rich" lol.... if only we could go back to those prices.

Which is why it was a surprise when the rumors came out they were increasing the bus width to 512-bit.

The 4090 as is is very very bandwidth limited. You could probally give it GDDR7 and get 30% more performance.

Bandwidth limited at 1TB/s of bandwidth? Yeah, I doubt it. The problem more than likely stems from a bottleneck with the cores. Games aren't able to take advantage of so much compute. That thing has 68% more compute than the 4080 and 41% more bandwidth, yet is only on average around 30% faster. This points to a completely different type of bottleneck.

It's not too dissimilar to the Pro which has 67% more compute, 28% more bandwidth, but is only up to 45% faster than the regular PS5. It seems harder to leverage the compute when it gets that high and other bottlenecks are introduced.
 
Something something.... "value proposition"
Something something.... "doesn't even come with a stand or a disc drive"

Am I doing this right?
 
I dont think ive seen a single 4090 below $1999 at microcenter.

this thing will probably be $2,500.

nvidia knows that there are suckers out there willing to pay $3-5k for these cards. All they need are the 1% whales most mobile games rely on to make billions. Sad that the gaming hardware industry has turned to exploiting its most loyal userbase like mobile game developers do but thats where we are right now.

curious to see if the 5070 offers 2x more performance than the 3080 and retails for less than $999. im not paying $1,000 for just 2x more performance. if its $799, i might think about it.

Won't offer anywhere near 2x the performance of a 3080. That's 4090 territory. More than likely, you're looking at maximum 50%, so in the ballpark of a 4080 at best.

Rumors were talking about ~4070ti territory so ~25% better than 3080. With 12GB of VRAM it's not a big upgrade.

Raw specs of GB are underwhelming for everything but 5090.
 
I'm thinking to go for the 5080 but not with 16 gigs, hope those 3GB GDDR7 upgrades are coming so they stack higher, then maybe..
