Re: Nvidia announces next-gen RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 GPUs
#2232GB of GDDR7 at 1.8TB/sec for $2000, best of luck to the gamers trying to buy one of those while AI people are buying them by the truckload. Presumably the pro hardware based on the same silicon will have 64GB, they usually double whatever the gaming cards have.
At what point do we stop calling them graphics cards?
At what point did we stop calling them phones?

#23Even though they are all marketed as gaming cards, Nvidia is now very clearly differentiating between 5070/5070 Ti/5080 for mid-high end gaming and 5090 for consumer/entry-level AI. The gap between xx80 and xx90 is going to be too wide for regular gamers to cross this generation.
Yup, the days of the value high end card are dead it seems like. I thought we would see a cut down 4090 at some point last generation but it never happened. Surely there's a market gap somewhere between 5090 and 5080.

#24I will be astonished if I'll be able to get a 5090 due to availability. The 5080's comparative lack of memory is a buzzkill -- 16 GB seems like it's going to be a limiting factor for 4k gaming. Does anyone know what these might cost in the US after the rumored tariffs?
4k gaming is dumb. I watched a LTT video that came out today where Linus said he primarily uses gaming monitors and doesn't mess with 4k.
There are good 4K gaming monitors, but they start at over $1200 and if you don't also have a 4090 tier rig, you won’t be able to get full FPS out of AAA games at 4k.

Yes, but Nvidia thinks enough of them get pushed up to the 5090 to make the gap worthwhile.
Only way to fix this is for AMD to decide it likes money. I'm not holding my breath.

#26Way too little memory. :(

No it's not. 2560x1440 has terrible PPI on larger screens. Either way with a 4k monitor you don't technically need to game at 4k as most intensive games offer DLSS anyway.

#28Looks like most of the improvement is only going to come when DLSS4 is in use and its generating most of the frame for Ray Tracing and then also generating 3 predicted frames. When you use all that AI hardware then its maybe 2x, but I do wonder how much fundamental rasterisation + shaders performance gain there is in this generation in practice on the majority of actual games.
There was some solid commentary on the Ps5Pro tech talk stating core rendering is so well optimized much of the gains in the future will come from hardware process technology improvements not from radical architecture changes. It seems clear the future of rendering is likely to be a world where the gains come from things like dlss and less and free lunch savings due to easy optimizations.

#29Anyone has any info on Node? Can't find anything online. Seems to be 4nm but performance suggest otherwise. Hopefully someone do a deep dive soon.

Yep. I have both 4k and 1440p monitors and I can’t tell the difference in quality so I always use the latter for better frames. I use the 4k for reading text though, it’s noticeably better.
