I hate waiting on new tech reviews, gona be interesting to see if what jenson said about these cards, big disappointing fact is the 16gb vram on the 5080.
Aren't some games already recommending 16gb? Doesn't scream future proofing on a brand new high end card
Boooo, most third party cards are over 310mm. I'd rather have the innovative coolers with founder's model. But they don't do 5070 Ti. I think they know 5070 Ti will be their volume seller, with 5070 doing the upselling and 5080 VRAM disappointment. I wonder how 4090 FE will be priced in the second hand market, it fits my 10+ years old case PERFECTLY. under £1000 possible?
The gap between the 5080 and 5090 is so massive that I doubt it'll take until next year for Nvidia to park something in between them.
The gap between the 4080 and 4090 was fairly large as well but all the 4080 super did was hug the 4080. Honestly I think Nvidia will keep that gap more or less as is because they know that if you feel the 5080 isn't enough, you're gonna shell out for the 5090.
I have the WireView normal connection but the 5090 has the reverse by the looks of it the plug looks like it's set back further so I'm wondering if it will still fit, will need to buy a new WireView, plus the cablemod 90 degree connecter will it fit also.
Depends on the aib which way round they put it I think, unless nvidia identified an orientation that provides the lowest chance of fire and have mandated it. The new fe cards have them at an angle so there's no chance for any adaptor on those I don't think.
Hype mode engaged AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT 3DMark Leak: 3.0 GHz, 330W TBP, faster than RTX 4080 SUPER in TimeSpy and 4070 Ti in Speed Way
Current rumours put it in the price range of $480 - 550, so basically same as 7800XT - 7900 GRE launch pricing. On another note, got to love how tiny the Alphacool waterblock for the 5090 looks:
Seen some prices of the 5080 in the eu, as expected they are about £500 more expensive god help us when the UK price is announced.
I think if you want something close to MSRP, you're either going to have to try your luck with FE cards, or go for one of the base models, zotac and pny are often cheaper but the coolers are decent. Can't help but think they've made these gigantor coolers bigger than some sff cases (Asus astral I'm looking at you) because of the 575w tdp, but I bet they don't come close to that it normal gaming and it will be for naught. All of a sudden the 2 slot fe cards don't seem so magical and really just a flex because they can, AIBs get even more pissed off and we can all rush towards Nvidia no longer being a gaming company. Yes, I know this is pessimistic, but only takes Jenson retiring or getting ousted by the board for it to happen. EDIT: I've updated the thread title now we have confirmed specs for Nvidia cards at least, and cards are arriving imminently.
What's get me thinking about rip off British stuff is I payed way over the recommend price when the 4080, tbh I'm on a 3060 at the moment and I can play my games quite comfortable I only have to run a lesser settings as I've got the alienware 32 " 4k oled monitor, plus I'm worried about this fake frame poop that's going on with the 5090-5080. Can't wait for reviews to come out, I'm still thinking of buying a 4090 still as they are stating to come on the second hand forums for a good price.
I've currently been convinced to wait until the 50 series release to see what it does to the 2nd hand market before upgrading from my 3060, hopefully it goes the right way but part of me thinks things will go up in price due to actual poor (relative) performance and availability.
There's this magic moment, which can be hit-or-miss, between when a new GPU series is announced and 3rd party benchmarks come out. Some people panic-sell their current generation at lower than the current rate prices, in hopes of maximizing resale value before a potential dip, with expectation of a massive performance bump from new generation only to realize that performance bump is only about 10% with a 25% price hike. Then current gen prices aligns itself.
