I'm just going to sit on my 3090 TI until the 5000 series because this generation is a mess.

I’ll sit on my 2070 super until i feel like it’s actually necessary to upgrade

I remember how media and press wasn't really convinced the 2070 super was a good deal. But then the whole supplychain thing and COVID happened and boom, best timed purchase ever imo. Super happy with it, will ride it at least one more gen

Yeah, I had to send my 2070 in and it took Gigabyte 7 months to get me a new one. The apologized by giving me a 2070 super. Its been serving me really well :)

My 1080 still runs everything I’m even a little bit interested in playing on my PC just fine. But I don’t play multiplayer games so I don’t have to pick stuff up while there are still people playing it.

1060 here. Haven’t bought a game made this decade yet.

960… but honestly it’s time

970 and it’s time but it still works great for everything I play. With the price of cards I picked up a ps5 for my son to play newer titles like elden ring etc. I would love to build a new pc but the price of components is crazy.

Yeah, I’m more likely to make the jump to the new 7000 series Ryzen9 and DDR5 ram then get a 4090 this year or next. My 3090Ti will last awhile with the current top games

Yeah I mean I'm sitting here playing F.T.L. I think I'll get by.

But don't you wonder what it would be like to play it at 9000fps?

I’m still happy with myGTX 1080 for now. Definitely showing it’s age but I don’t have the time for the latest games anyways. Might wait until next generation and hope for something more power efficient at the performance level I want, and a price to match

Yes? There shouldn't be any possible release thar should make you switch a year old super expensive card out. That'd be fucking stupid of you to do no matter what Nvidia release.

Is it? If you were the kind of person who paid for a 3090 ti, the 4090 seems like a way better value than that card was.

I’m getting a 4090 whenever I can find one easily. I don’t care about any of the politics or complaints I’ve seen, I just want ray tracing maxed in 4k at 60 fps and the card does that so. I’m sold. The price isn’t that crazy especially considering I’ll get 700 back out of my 3080.

The card is a waste of time for anyone not playing in 4k but for people like me playing on a giant OLED from the couch this is a huge deal and totally worth it.

Unless your giant OLED is 80" and you are sitting about 2.5 metres from it you don't really need 4k.

alc4pwned t1_isck61q wrote

I game on a 48" OLED that I sit about 3 feet away from, 4k is absolutely something you want in that scenario

HiCanIPetYourCat t1_iscjbm4 wrote

It’s bigger than 80 and I sit about that distance from it. Trust me, the difference between 4k and 2160 on a screen that big and clear is absolutely massive.

Lol, it'll just be 5090-24, 5090-12, 5090-10, 5090-16 (but slower then 12/10), 5090-8, 5090-6, and 5090-4.

The 5000 series might also be a bit of a mess since it is going to likely be the first nvidia GPUs that use MCM. So it will have a lot of growing pains.

TheLurkingMenace t1_iscsr99 wrote

The PSU required to drive the 4090 is already ridiculous. The 5000 series cards are going to need their own PSUs.

FightOnForUsc t1_isd57av wrote

MCM could make it take less power (potentially)

1

TheLurkingMenace t1_isdhcxv wrote

Maybe. Or maybe they will just make the GPUs that much more powerful.

FightOnForUsc t1_isdinxp wrote

Ok but then you buy a lower tier one that has lower power and the same performance

You woulda been paying a grand to go from 144 frames per second to 144 frames per second
