Some 5080 images for you all.

You have small legs or that is a big card

In dull mans club style put a banana on top for reference as to size
 
Going to try and attempt to get a 5090 on launch, but I'm wondering does the 9800x3D work with the TUF GAMING X570-PRO (WI-FI) MOBO? I can't check atm but I would love to not have to build an entire pc again for this upgrade

No as it's AM4 socket according to the website


Please double check and don't take my word for it though

Ugh, shit. Thanks for looking that up though. I gotta look into another gaming focused cpu that'll work with it then (and not bottleneck a 5090). I'm just trying to future proof my rig a bit more so I don't have to worry for 5+ years

Yea got the feeling those cards won't sell that fast. The founders edition will be sold out tho.
5090 will sell out before the listing even refreshes, but the lower end ones should remain available for 10's of minutes, hours, or days unless they've dramatically underproduced them. That's how the 4000s played out.

I know it's extra expense but memory isn't too expensive right now. If look to sell your old parts and go for a good b650 + 32gb ddr5 6000mhz combo and a 9800x3d you will be set for years!

The third question is what everyone cares about most: the actual improvement or performance boost in gaming. We’ve tested this.

By reducing the memory speed of the 5090D to 14Gbps, the bandwidth also had to be adjusted to 896.1GB. The core frequency was adjusted to around 2600MHz.
For the 4090, reducing the memory speed to 19Gbps brought the bandwidth down to 912GB, with the core frequency fixed at 2610MHz.

When DLAA and ray tracing are turned off along with disabling the “super-performance mode,” game performance improved by approximately 20%, and frame rates increased by about 20%. When “super-performance mode,” DLAA, and ray tracing are all enabled, the performance improvement aligns closely with what was stated in the official claims.

As mentioned earlier, the frequency of the 5090D is around 2600MHz because, at this frequency, it avoids hitting the limitations of the older architecture.

To summarize, I’d like to give everyone a brief conclusion:
First, don’t expect too much from the 5090D in terms of overclocking. Based on current estimates, the BIOS might allow the 5090 to exceed 600W, but the chances are limited.

Secondly, this generation’s core hardware improvements in scale aren’t massive. Most of the gains stem from advancements in AI computing rather than raw performance upgrades.

Lastly, in terms of manufacturing tools, the differences between the 5090 and 4090 aren’t particularly significant. Even if video decoding is unlocked, the improvements won’t be very noticeable.

No u

can’t believe people defend companies like this, Gaiff Gaiff and clarky clarky don’t forget to also buy live for when the green guys inevitably slide into your bottom after you drop 2K for an AI-powered card like good lap dogs 😄😄😄
Fuck off peasant, you know nothing about me. Besides im not getting one.

Nice summary, basically stick with a 4090 if you have one.

Oh and you do to call me a peasant? Nice one, I won't argue with people that are a bit thick in the head ;):LOL:
Ok mate you came at us with your ill informed insults for no particular reason. Get back in your box if you have nothing of value to add to the discussion.

Always go FE if I can, usually cheaper and they look sick atm. Normally like gold dust in the UK unfortunately.

Is there an objective reason to avoid FE? It seemed the 40 series FE cards were well made.

  • If you want to water cool it like me, then no company is currently looking at waterblocks for the FE due to the split design.
  • FE normally have a single bios available. Partner cards often give dual options. ( Not a massive bonus really )
Looking at the partner cards for the 5090 they are chunky boys. 3 slot or more

I’m a simple man, so small, plug and play and effective cooling is all I care for. Sounds like FE is for me. My 7900xt is a reference design and love it.

Anyone repaste a FE 40 series? Easy to do? I got PTM7950 lying around.

40 series is easy to repaste. Fan connectors can be a bit weak on some cards so be careful.

5090 is liquid metal. Unknown if the others in the range are too.

Yeah, repasting 5090 FE wouldn’t be a wise thing to do. See GN video as he deep dives into FE design with Nvidia cooling engineer.

GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
I’m sticking with my 4090. It will likely be the second fastest card below the 5090.

However, I do see myself replacing my 7800XT in my Bazzite/SteamOS TV PC with a 9070XT assuming the ray tracing and upscaling improvements really are as good as being leaked.

What time is it?

Every

It doesn't even have to be hobbies, its literally everything in life

Want to live on the beach? You pay top dollar vs someone living 5 blocks away

Who is getting the best value here? Depends on what you want in life

Not every hobby but mostly true. I give your hyperbole an B+ while his gets an F-.
