5090 - 4090 TI

[Meaker]

I agree with Derbauer on this one, same node, equivalent cost to performance increase. It's not a new generation so far.

HUB called it a 4090 Ti, and that's the perfect descriptor.

coupled with the insane price increase we can already see enthusiasts jumping ship. i guess were finally hitting an upper limit of what highend gamers are willing to pay for halo gpus 😄

Titan V from 2017 says hi 😁

 

While it wasn't a "gaming" card. 

 

Many "high end gamers" also bought it. I actually have one, but I didn't buy it until 2020 I think. 3070 level performance in raster, it wasn't a bad investment at the time. 

 

can't say same thing about 5090 lol

No argument from me on this one.

 

But based on 3080->3080ti and 4080->4080 Super, the 5090 is definitely more than a TI or Super but not worthy of a new generation.

 

Let's call it the 4090TI Super.....

 

This means 6000 series should be a true monster with new architecture and another node shrink.

sooo basically, what it boils down to me to is this: 

 

- i already got the budget, so might as well try to get my hands on one

- 4090 pricing will be nice n stable for a while with such a huge gap between 5090 and 5080, so ill get a good chunk of my money back

- in many games im interested in, the 5090 pushes the FPS "just over the edge" into playable territory without having to use excessive upscaling (want to avoid that as much as possible, DLSS quality worst case, no FG for me)

- highly interested in the 50-100% uplift for transcoding videos, thatll give me a tangible increase in every-day productivity for typical workloads of mine 🙂

I think nVidia's 5000 series would have been much better if they were on 3nm, but being on the same exact node, it's quite hard to get more performance without skyrocketing power. 

 

If nVidia had released the 4090Ti or Titan (full ad102 die) then the 5090 would have probably been only 15-20% faster, making it look even worse. 

 

I'd still like a 5090 for it's multiple decode/encode engines or at least a 5080. That's actually one of the bigger upgrades for content creation or even something like a Plex server. Before they were limited to Quadro to have 3 video engines.

HMU if you're going to sell your 4090. That's the way I think I'll go when I eventually undergo a complete platform upgrade, probably later this year with a Core Ultra 300 series.
