NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you
- Thread starter Izo
- Start date
I was at microcenter this past weekend and saw a 5090 at $3500. The amount of wtfs i heard passing by that area...
I thought 1600ish for the 4090 was retarded, but since that was about around the same time the govt was paying everyone to sit at home for free, it sold.
$3500+ now for flagship cards....fuck that shit.

Well worth it if graphics are photorealistic, gory, and immersive. But since 90% is woke slop rushed out the door, I'll be babying my 4090 till it croaks.

I'm betting we see some pullback on graphics with all games going forward due to all of this. The question will be if AAA studios can put out a good enough game to keep players around without all the shiny. My guess is no, and we will see a lot of companies shuttered if it doesn't turn around in a few years.

Man if this inspires gaming companies to hire neckbeards who actually understand engines and how to optimize them... it could ultimately be a win for us. Won't be a quick win, but in the long run if the slop goes away and things perform as they could, that could be incredible.

My rig (paid $1950 total) is a 7800x3D, 7900 XTX , and 32 gigs of RAM. I play at 1440p and it more than handles everything that I throw at it.
I was thinking about moving up to 4k when the 60 series drops, but I'm definitely not paying $5k+ for a fucking card.

I've been buying higher end/top tier/flagship whatever you want to call it since the 9800 GTX days. Not as long as some of you but I have a 4090 and the 5XXX series is the first one I'll have skipped in damn near 2 decades now. The prices are outrageous. I felt like an idiot buying the 3090 & 4090 as it were.

yeah. rough. 70 series is weak. but also cheap.
iirc someone was bitching about using userbenchmarks, claiming bais. but still:
I got a 5070 back in march. I was kindof forced to. vid card died, and 5070 was like the only thing not sold out that wasn't 3k+ at the time, it was still $739
I don't love it.
but, basic 5070's are cheap. 5070TI barely seems like an upgrade, and I doubt is worth that extra price.
you would be getting a 5070 not to be happy in 2 years, but to tide you over. a cheap option, hoping prices return to sanity and you can buy a better card in 1-2 years.
that said, the 5070 itself is not a huge upgrade over the 3080.

If nobody has top end video cards, you either optimize or lower the graphics quality and graphical features.
Think about it. Most people here have good video cards. You paid good money for them. What if it bombs out this weekend and the replacement costs twice as much, or more? Are you going to instantly replace it? What are your plans?

ha. well that statement was two fold. basic 5070 can be gotten for under $600.
ASUS The SFF-Ready Prime GeForce RTX™ 5070 12GB GDDR7 Graphics Card (PCIe® 5.0, 12GB GDDR7, HDMI®/DP 2.1, 2.5-Slot, Axial-tech Fans, Dual BIOS)
But then in general, that is how geforce line are produced. 70 series is budget. 80 series is normal. and 90 series is performance. $$ 90 series has always been at a premium. then of course they have their TI models which supercharge each further.
$739 wasn't really CHEAP even then. but like I said, everything was sold out.
it was a rx 7900 xtx that i had bought in 11/2023 for $919 that died on me.
