Will you buy a RTX 5090?

[inquisitor1]

I cannot remember all my CPU's: (these will not be in the correct order either)

Intel Pentium 1 100Mhz
Intel Pentium 2 350Mhz
AMD Athlon 1400 T-Bird
AMD Athlon XP 2000+ (Thouroughbred or Barton cannot remember)
AMD Athlon XP 3000+ (Barton)
Intel Pentium 4 2.4Ghz Northwood
Some form of Athlon 64, I know I had a couple just cannot remember models
Intel Core 2 Duo E6300
Intel Core 2 Duo E6700
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
Intel i7 860
AMD Phenom II X4 965
AMD FX-8120 (Bulldozer)
Intel i7-3820
Intel i7 4790k
Intel Xeron E5-1650v2 (I went back to this platform after being diasppointed with the 4790k)
AMD Ryzen 5 3600
AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D

I'm sure I missed a few.

Graphics cards, had way to many to remember them all:
Some really ancient PCi card that you could add memory to, think it had 4 slots total
S3 Trio
Geforce Riva TNT
Gefore Riva TNT2
ATi Rage 128 Pro (I still have this card)
Geforce 2 MX200
Geforce 4 Ti-4400 (Gainward Golden Sample (I still have this card somewhere)
Ati Radeon 9600 Pro
Im sure I've forgotten some here
Geforce 8800GTS 320Mb
Geforce 8800GT 512Mb
Geforce 9800GTX (This one died along with a thermaltake 750w toughpower psu, still annoys me to this day)
BFG Geforce GTX260 (I think this card went faulty hence the 275 below)
Geforce GTX 275
Geforce GTX 460
AMD Radeon HD6850
Geforce GTX 770
Geforce GTX 1060 3gb
AMD Radeon RX480
Geforce GTX1080
AMD Radeon RX6800XT
Geforce RTX 4080 Super

you are the perfect customer for the companies hype of small incremental improvement. although you seemed to have learned the fail in going from gen to gen isnt worth it bang/buck the last 2 gpu.

damn, some of you even remember cpu and gpu pairings and even clockspeeds, but what about mobos huh??

Aaaanyways wish my memory was that good...

Intel Pentium 1
Intel Pentium 2
Intel Pentium 3 (800mhz)
Intel Pentium 4 1.7ghz
AMD 64 3200+
AMD Phenom II 965
Intel i7-4820k

Might be forgetting another GPU or CPU from my early PC days

Haven't 100% decided on blackwell yet, maybe, maybe not.

Will just leave this here. Going by synthetics it looks like a decent upgrade over my 4080.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 3DMark performance leaks out - VideoCardz.com

Not for the price its not.....its terrible

and you will need to upgrade your PSU as well, so in total for you thats about a $5000 upgrade

 

[Bugsy004]

You'll probably need to upgrade CPU and motherboard, besides PSU… new case... to fit AIO or WB

Not for the price its not.....its terrible

I honestly don't think it's that terrible. Please hear me out.

From my 4080 I will get double the frames and double the vram, basically a 100% uplift or near abouts. The 4080 had an msrp of 1200 USD. If I was coming from a 4090 id have second thoughts about it.

Unfortunately, this is the world we currently live in regards to prices. Yes, it's going to be scary what the release prices will be down under but hopefully I get a chance for the dust to settle on prices before there are any stock issues.

I originally went a 4080 coming from a 6800 XT. I paid 1749 AUD for the 4080 and the cheapest 4090 I could find was 2749. I said to myself I would save the 1k and put that towards the Nvidia 5 series or Radeon.

With the power supply, I believe I will get away with the one I have as I will be power limiting if for maximum efficiency: 20% Efficiency Boost by RTX 5090 Power Target Tweaking but I will be donking in a 1300w
I purchased ages ago on special just in case.

ill might buy a 5090 when it starts acting like a 1080ti
probably like 5 years from now
