Any of you guys skipping 5 series?

Price is what determines if i skip the 5 series. If its stupidly high again I'll pick up a 4080 super and call it a day. Prices for graphics cards in Canada aren't exactly cheap Not compared to down south anyways.

Since I get 120fps on my 120hertz C2 at 4k max settings with the 4090, I have 0 reason to upgrade until they start making high refresh rate 42in size or larger displays. I am good for now. I love my displays to be at least 42inches.

I only just now bought a 4070 Ti, so I'll be skipping. I just stayed 4 years on my current one, which is some kind of record for me. It's nice to not have the upgrade itch anymore.

I went with a 32" 240 oled an I miss my 48" CX - might recomission it. Something really amazing about playing on large format.

Same, I still love gaming on my 48 C1 OLED, going OLED is by far the best decision/jump I have made.

I wish I could say the same! At least I've given up on wanting the best of the best (I'm happy with midrange), but still...

Definitely skipping the 5 series on my end, i caved and bought the 4070 Super 5 months ago and only have a 1080p 180Hz screen so it should last me quite a while.

My justification for buying it at the time was 2 fold - my country was about to impose severe taxes on imported High Value Goods, and that the 4070 Super was being sold for an incredibly reasonable price on day 1 at slightly under MSRP, without the usual markups in my country which is a damn good deal for brand new NVIDIA products.

And looking at the leaks presented so far, it seems like the replacement for its segment next year (the so called "5070") will be based from GB205 silicon with the same amount of VRAM so it seems like the gen on gen gains from the 4070S will be nothing to write home about.

I expect only 5090 to be a worthy step up from my 4090, so yeah, kinda hoping to skip it, and wait for RTX 6000 series on 2-3nm TSMC instead.

So far RTX 5000 series looks like a stop gap solution really. Same process node pretty much, they need to make chips physically bigger to deliver something good, which means higher power usage as well.

GDDR7 might bring some performance, however will also drive prices up more. It might matter in 4K/UHD+ gaming but I don't expect it to do much for 1440p and below. Nvidia looks to be skimping as well, going with 28Gbps instead of 32Gbps GDDR7 modules. Thats not really a huge upgrade over OC'ed GDDR6X.

5090 will be a beast, however, I also expect 1999+ MSRP price tag, with little availability on launch, hence hiking up price to 2500-3000 dollars probably. I think output will be minimal.

I also think 5090 will be very power hungry as well. Like 3090 Ti, maybe even worse, considering some 800 series motherboards are adding a new 8-pin GPU connector for RTX 5000 series, because 600W from 12VHPWR is not enough I guess?

5080 looks to be a massively step down according to rumours and think it will barely beat 4090 yet still sell for 1199 dollars like 4080 on release. I paid 1500 dollars for my 4090 like 2 years ago, so I might just keep it and get a 6080/6090 in a few more years on a true next gen node, 3nm TSMC or less.

GDDR7 might be the driving factor for 5000 series because the node is pretty much identical to 4000 series. TSMC 4N aka optimized 5nm again.

I don't think "DLSS 4" will matter, if we even see it, it will probably be RT/PT stuff which I care little about.

It is pretty clear that Nvidia have most of its focus on AI and Enterprise at this point.

I think we will see 5090/5080 in Q1 next year with 5070/5060 series Q2/Q3 because they are competiting with themselves for the most part and don't really need to release something new.

80 series never... 70 yeah so 8070 in that case

//

Not sure a lot people here will wait 4 gen between two GPU

With the way nvidia trending right now I wouldn't be surprised if in a few gens a 70 series card becomes what the 50 series used to be. Its already happened to the 60 series. 70 is next up.

This thread is about skipping 5 series or not. It’s not about AMD or there performance compared to anyone else. This is one of the few threads that has remained open because it has remained on course and civil, sticking to the topic.

Well with the latest KB from Microsoft, the AMD boost in FPS is now live on Win11. Yay for more performance for AMD cpus!
