Probably Nvidia being a dick by withholding their new gpu to AIBs until the last moments. They have been pity throwing “reference” pcb to their partners, ie boring rectangular pieces

I don’t understand how reference boards work

Nvidia has to establish what is needed to feed and power the GPU, components spec tolerances etc for the good working of it all

But don’t AIBs have freedom on how to make it?

Something like this https://wccftech.com/nvidia-geforce...-ad102-gpu-design-similar-to-rtx-3090-ti-pcb/


AIB do make custom pcb, but they come later because Nvidia leave it so late for them.

What a nice looking card. Sexy, would fit my SFF case.......................

That's a sexy card, indeed. I have no hope of getting it though. Will have to do with a clunky version from asus or gigabyte I guess.
Not that it matters too much, as i'm gonna keep my eyes on the monitor and not the PC most of the time.

GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
How come no one in NA is taking preorders ?

Shouldn’t they be available in 10 days ? I figured Best Buy and other retailers would start taking preorders by now
lol they’ve never done preorders for nvidia GPUs.

5090s and 5080s are going to be under available.

Anyone expecting to acquire one of these at MSRP are going to be in a world of disappointment. I’d be surprised if any 5090 is available for less that $2300 and I’d expect 5080s to be around $1300.

If that is true, I'm out. It's not a meaningful jump to me. I do need a second card because I want a SFF PC next to the TV, but might just get a 5080 and move the 4090 to the SFF one.

I'm surprised this needs to be stated every time. Nvidia MSRP = FE cards, rarely any other at the top end. So prepared to pay 10-15% more at least. Or good luck waiting for the FE restocks.
 
If it’s really just 20%, then Blackwell will be the biggest dud in a long time. This is lower than Turing, which is considered quite weak.
In one of the cyberpunk videos the RTX5080 has around 70fps at 4K with just DLSSQ. How many fps the 4090 gets with at 4K DLSSQ with PT?

What part exactly? The built-in benchmark? If it isn't that, it'd be tough to replicate the same scenario.

It's here. My onq123 moment.

That bonehead is a fucking genius.
I'm thinking 20% gains in raster average which I'll be happy with on the 5090 Vs 4090.

I'm more interested in seeing what Indiana, cyberpunk and AW2 are like with path tracing on and dlss off to see how that scales against last gen

Yeah I'm happy with that as average performance bump as I know the real gains will be on the ml / ai side which will take some time to be shown.

Around 65fps on the RTX5090


On my RTX4080S I see between 33-36fps in this downtown area with the same settings (4K DLSSQ + Ray Reconstruction with Path Tracing), so the RTX5090 is twice as fast (comparable to 3Dmark scores). That's very impressive

I’m surprised the absolutely massive bandwidth increase barely seems to translate to gaming raster performance.

high quality GIF

I mean you have twice the power consumption, twice the CUs etc....
It literally is "2 cards duct taped together".

The 5xxx seem, to have basically no architectural progression whatsoever with the missing node shrink.
Dunno, from a technological standpoint this gen seems underwhelming as f*

20% over 4090 doesn't make sense with that specs.
looks like some kind of scaling issue here.

I don't think we'll see the big improvements for a few months as the Investment for Blackwell has been in improvements to Tensor and ml / ai improvements. Engines will take time to adopt to the new features.

We'll also see the drivers improve and I'm looking forward to when we see engines take advantage of the new hardware for features like mega geometry and neural rendering.

I think that tech is very interesting where you send a series of vectors to the hardware accelerated model, which fills in the missing gaps. Really enticing from those rendering of faces for instance. The model, not the code takes care of it.

What are you talking about ? Bestbuy always does that for the FE cards. Backorder .

At least here in Canada lol

Those prices are nutty. I just bought a 4070 TI Super last year, I'm gonna ride that out and skip the 50 series. Side effect of me being uninterested in most modern games, I should be totally fine.
