You can literally swap them from the control panel man.
That's nice, but let's see what quality it will offer. Because some games like Alan Wake will be good as DLSS quality, and I ask what about other games?

Probably going to skip this generation. Feel like I got a pretty good deal finding 4090 FE for MSRP in october of 2023. will get some more life out of that. All my rigs are pretty well setup at this point. Usually I will waterfall upgrade all my kids rigs from the top down but my older 2 already have 3080Ti and 3080 for 1440p/1080p gaming so they are set for a while too.
Might pickup a used 3070Ti and build new system for my youngest once his ivy bridge / 2080 rig bits the dust.
$2000 for 30% is just too much.

I'm on a 4090 + 9800X3D setup and completely happy with its 4K gaming performance. I'll skip the 5000 series unless my 4090 dies and I have no choice.

Yeah, dreams are always free :)
This will work in a few games, but in others?

Let's see, I highly doubt it, because usually quality depends on implementation.
You should browse youtube, it's been a week that people are replacing their games with dlss with this new transformer version.
You can quibble here and there by zooming x400 on this or that detail in a specific game but in absolute terms it's better in all the games tested.

Unless we see some decent drops, I will probably just get my kid a used GPU or a cheap Intel or AMD card and keep my upgrade for something worthy.

I game at 1440p with a 4090.

Why would I want to become even further CPU limited?

I'm hoping both the 5070ti and 9070XT are pretty great I'm just not holding my breath.

Semi-complete history, in rough chronological order of procurement:

Voodoo Banshee, 9700 Pro AIW, 9800 GT, 550 Ti, R9 380, RX 470, 3050, A750, 1070 Ti, 5600 XT, 2060S, Titan XP

Italicized entries were bought new at retail. Starting with the 3050, all cards have been in and out of use as the game GPU; the rest crunch or are on standby. The A750 is the current gaming card since it's not supported by F@H. Just snagged a 2080 that's getting left off the list because it's going straight to crunching duty once I get off me bum.

It will surprise no one with any modicum of pattern recognition that I will not be getting a 5090 any time soon. Perhaps in (checks how old the Titan is) 7 years or so.

I bet they will be better than my 4070Ti :D

I meant better enough to be worth buying.... Technically if they are 1% better they are better doesn't mean it's worth spending 7-800 USD on them though lol.

I own an evga rtx 3080 10gb that I paid $700 in 2020 and i see no need to upgrade.

Tbf a 5070 ti would likely be near double the performance at nearly the same price :)

Indeed - the expected 20% increase in performance over 4070 ti super isn't worth an upgrade.

That's actually compared to the 4070ti 12G the super was like 8% faster so my guess is 12-15% for the 5070ti over the super.



Also unlikely to be double.... That would make it a 5090 lol....

Your estimate doesn't sound far off :)

I did say "near double" :p i would consider going from 77 to approx 110 fps a quite big jump, though not quite literally double the performance ;) and difference will likely be bigger at lower res, due to 5070 ti having faster and bigger cache along with a more narrow bus width.

Cropped the wrong graph lol the 3080 sits around 55fps these days the 4080 is 85fps I think best case scenario that's about the jump people can expect the nicer part of the upgrade is the Vram though and better support for Transformer DLSS

What about 1440p though ? I think that would be more favourable to the 256 bit bus cards :)

Edit : doesn't include 3080 ofc, but 3090 and 4070 ti changes places at 4k vs 1440p as expected

I believe the percentage difference is actually slightly higher at 4k but both are close to 50% that likely gonna depend on what games are used ofc

I updated my previous post - It's lower at 4k, due to the bus width hampering those 256 bit bus cards at 4k :D

One thing that is heavily making me consider buying the cheapest 5090 i can get my hands on, is that my 4090 has already degraded, despite being used very modestly... a year ago it was stable at 2700 mhz @ 925 mv... now it needs 975 mv to remain stable at 2700 mhz.

4070ti x 3080 = 45% x 37%, 4070ti has 8% more performance than 3080, dont know where you got the "double the performance".




I'm thinking maybe I should camp outside Microcenter... not!


Lunacy
I'm pretty sure these campers are scalpers, will buy a 5090 for 2k and sell for 7k to idiots.

In all honesty mate, I shouldn't have to justify my own spending on what I would like in my life.

Im just been honest and giving you a view from a different side so you can make the right choice when that time comes to pull the trigger on a new GPU and for others also. Sorry! :ohwell:
