NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 PCI-Express Scaling

[Cadasiso]

I was planning on building a new AM5 system along with a 5080 but might just keep my Taichi x370 PCIe 3.0 mobo and get a 5090 with the savings of not buying a new mobo and RAM. I play at 4k. What do you guys think?

It'd be fine, just slap a 5700X3X there and you're good for Ultra+RT, I don't think bottleneck is a major concern in 4K in newer, GPU bound games, it's not like there's any 4090 for reasonable prices anywhere in the world anyways, so even while bottlenecked it'll be a better deal (assuming you can get one). CPU scaling reviews might come soon, it'd wait for them before considering between the 5090 and 5080

Why didn't you compare the stutter intensities when VRAM overflows?

Still waiting for that 32 GB VRAM game

No - definitely not - a recent retest from a gaming magazine

well Numbers are a universal metric which should be understood by mostly anyone.

The 5700X3d will cost you a lot of frames because of the outdated, old plattform. Ultra and Raytracing implies high end. Not entry level gaming, like gamig wiht a low cheap, outdated, old, ryzen 5700X3d with old DRAM Standard, old PCIE standard and such. that processor is also not really future proof for ultra and raytracing, e.g. year 2025, year 2026, year 2027

Ultra is above very high - is above high - is above medium high - is above light medium - is above medium - is above low - is above low.

Just to make clear - we are talking about ULTRA game settings with Raytracing. Not low end
