3D printer or RTX 5090?
I may just use the money I've been saving up on a new hobby of printing my own pile of plastic things.
Why limit yourself to just one? Get a 3D printer and print your very own 5090.

Yeah it really sucks. Basically no increase in performance/watt or performance/$ compared to last gen over 2 years ago unless you use multi frame generation.

I wanted Nvidia to make me feel like my 4090 was old and busted in comparison. Instead it’s kinda pointless to upgrade.

Also the best new feature (new transformer-based DLSS) is coming to previous gen cards so that’s pretty cool
That’s why HUB and deBauer kept making the 4090Ti joke. It’s basically that if you really think about it.

That FE effect on the cooler is also concerning, that’s for sure. I would probably run at 85% power limit.

But the joke doesn't quite work considering the 3090ti was roughly a 12% uplift from the 3090 while the 5090 is 25-30% over the 4090.

I have bought every new Gen GPU and this year I am not. at 2K, ~25-30% Frame Rate increase, Much louder than 4090 and more power hungry Im good waiting this gem out. Especially since DLSS 4 is coming to other cards..
But I hope you all enjoy it honestly, just feel my FOMO is not giving a damn this cycle.

Seems really good actually, looks like most of the deranged people screaming about the pricing and the performance improvements were wrong. Several are already banned 😤

30% is no where near good enough for a gen on gen uplift. IPC gains are basically 0. It's just a 4090 ti. Nvidia shouldn't have stopped selling 4090s.

30% more is looking like shit actually. Especially when it draws so much more power than 4090. Doesn't look like there is any progress here.

Were you MIA in 2017 and 2020/2021?

This is the first time the 80 series card hasn't got anywhere close to the previous gens 90 series, and if anybody was selling a 2080TI at the same price as the 3090 in 2021 then fair play to them as the 5090 is no where near in comparison. The 4090 (if it was still on sale at MRSP) would almost fit exactly between the 5080 and 5090 which isn't a great look.

Has anyone else experienced 4x frame generation? I already knew that I was sensitive to frame generation. When I tried the 4x frame generation, I was baffled. It definitely caused me to feel more motion sick than when playing the same game without frame generation. To be honest, the video aspect had artifacts; however, it wasn't too bad. The game felt laggier than it should have. There was something about the fluidity of the visuals not matching the input that felt terrible. The testing I conducted was on a controller. Perhaps that exacerbated the issue?

That being said, I also tried 2x and can see myself using it in certain scenarios. In the end, I will probably buy one if I can obtain it without too much effort. If not, I will be happy with my RTX 4090.

A 4090 Ti would have been at most 5% going by previous top-end Ti's

Considering the 4090 costs almost the same for most people because of AIB tax, there's no benefit to buying a 4090 over a 5090

You should hold onto it longer.

A) you’re not getting a 5090. You won’t be able to find one.

B) once 5090s sellout I could actually see 4090s going for MORE since they will be the 2nd best GPU available.
Oh yeah I'm holding onto it for sure. I just went to look for curiosity after I saw a youtube thumbnail where a guy was saying there's a mass off them up as people move to the new card, so I figured it would be very cheap sales.

4090 is plenty of GPU for me. Actually just bought a MB, CPU and RAM today.

I saw some other video from one of the big hardware youtubers saying there was rumors of high end Blackwell shortages.

so like 80c coming out at the connector for the 5090 suprim is pretty wild. Have they considered these things becoming fire hazards? hope yall insure your computers and belongings(in general).

Lmfao i have read so many posts about people “ready to buy a 5090 after i got good money for my 4090”. Do not sell until you secure a 5090, and by secure i mean when is in your hands. Not an order confirmation from a retail/online store. My 4090 isn’t leaving my case anytime soon. Good luck to those trying to get a card next week!

You can get a set of forged wheels for that price and I highly recommend looking into it. They'll last a lifetime!

Or perhaps an everyday gold chain. Dress up, dress down, or never take it off!

How about a well-bred pomsky? A high tier inflatable bouncy house?

Can't have it all. I'm getting the bouncy house, myself.

"30% more performance is shit"

Always good to get a good laugh :D

whoever expected more then that ... i dunno what to say.

but yes its ALSO true that they just did some minor improvements. Maybe 6000 series is from the ground up AI developed. Iam pretty sure there are some gains to be had when ur architecture doesnt need to be understood by a human and can therefore make some counter intuitive design choices that all together improve performance. Maybe we get even chiplet designs at the 6000 series, monolithic seems to come to an end. I dont think there is nothing to gain anymore from monolithic, just that it would be harder to push that any further, so chiplets probably are the way to go.

I could see a 3rd type of core being introduced soon. Raster Performance is pretty good. now transfer all away from cuda cores that can be done with tensor or something else to free performance there instead of going harder on raster performance.
You may cry now " but muh raster gains" and its fne, i would love it to if we would have gains like the 7000 to 8000 series back in the day every gen, but are not. those companies need to change it up.

DLSS4 allows for some mind boggeling performance numbers and with reflex 2 even input lag is a non issue.
It will have moments when it craps the bed and obviously will have other problems as well. but they need to start somewhere.

Good thing is, 4k has so much detail that we atleast dont need more native render resolution. So every performance gain we get, can go into better looking / better working systems.
Like doom is using Raytracing to remove hitboxes all together ( hopefully ) alot of background systems could run on such chips for games like cities skylanes or civ to dramaticly increase performance.

We need a shitload more tensor core performance then we need raster performance. if raster 10 times, were pretty good i think, for tensor we need 1000 times the performance or so. only doable with getting more and more specific in what workloads work well on those cores.

People will be ok.

There are 45 cope groups lined up and they have FEMA funding.

They deBauer video on running the card at lower power limit is very interesting. Basically you could run at 80% power (around 450w give or take a few), and have the card work a lot cooler, with less power consumptions and only lose a few percentage points of performance.

For a 575W space heater in your PC case, this makes a lot of sense.
