So RTX 5080 is slower than 4090...

[Vegasskill]

...and about 20% faster in Vulkan, 6% faster in OpenCL, and 9% faster in Blender than RTX 4080.
In my opinion it's effectively the same generation as RTX 40xx, which is why they are leaning so heavily on DLSS 4. Without DLSS 4 RTX 50xx series is nothing.

I can bet that DLSS 4 could work on 40xx series but NVIDIA will block this new multi frame generation option in drivers.

So guys. Those of you who have RTX 4070, 4080 and 4090 cards, will you buy 5080?

[Marcus Moellers]

question: why is this a problem…people here and everywhere on the internet say like you do. i dont care for what is written on a gfx board and people got used to the gfx board selling show!!
i have hardware, that is enough for me, but why is what you said a problem?
thank you for reading.

:-D

From a 30 series, yes
From a a 4070 and under, sure
From a 4080/90, I won't be unless they release a 24gb 5080Ti

It all depends on what your trying to accomplish and whether or not you have the money to burn

Everyone's opinions will be different

*It is the same as RTX3000 series, if not 2000.
Speaking of raster of course.

[Heretic]

Looking through Gamers Nexus review I can see that the best value raster card is the RX 7900 XTX for price and performance. This include being able to get one at a non-scalped price (in my area at least). I also like how he mentioned that GDDR7 has little or no improvement in gaming, and is better suited to A.I and other production tasks.

AMD is still the best value and that card is soon to be last generation, too.

I own an RX 7900XTX and it's a fantastic GPU for pure raster and some light Ray Tracing like in Resident Evil or Jedi Survivor but lack of DLSS hurts the value at 4K. Especially now when Nvidia got this new AI transformer model that can literally make image better than native.
FSR can be good at 4K but it can also be absolutely atrocious. I've seen games where FSR native (just for anti-aliasing and not upscaling) made image worse.

I hope FSR4 will be absolutely amazing or I may switch back to Nvidia.

I guess some people really think that numbers are a guaranteee of speed and performance.
I can't believe how easily some are influenced just by marketing arguments and producers "artificial benchmarks".

I have an RTX 3080 I play all games maxed out with reshade and lut on top it.
Don't need more, don't need "better" because....................it just works perfectly!

This is like when smartphone addicts need to follow hype waves and buy 1500 bucks smartphones every 2 years.......while others with a brain use a 300 buck smartphone during 5 years and aren't less happier...

basically this, although with newer games demanding more and more VRAM, idk how long my 3080 is going to last

Nvidia screwed 3070, 3070Ti and 3080 owners by giving less memory than for 3060 12GB.
I recently played FF16, Jedi Survivor and Monster Hunter Wild beta that used over 12GB at 4K+FSR (upscaled 1440p).
Jedi Survivor at native 4K can use around 20GB and it does look good.

[PaulKrawitz]

No, I will not... I can't afford the electricity cost of a 5080.

[Guydodge]

i disagree if your a 30 series owner the 50 series would be a huge upgrade and as far
as the 5090 its up to 30% at times in 4k if you own a good 3rd party 4090 the 5090
really is not that much of an upgrade if you dont its a pretty sweet upgrade im waiting
on the 60 series if i didnt own a beast of a 4090 id jump on the 5090.

No they didn't, if you bought said cards for 4k, you screwed yourselves, not to mention they are 4 years old now and you are looking at new games, though, only a few.

Want to play at 4k with ridiculous texture resoloution? Pay for it, it's that simple, I have zero sympathy for those who bought under powered cards for their use case.

Heck, just buy a new card, if you cannot budget for a new card over 2 to 4 years, you have far bigger problems than vram usage!

Why are you even trying to push any form of 4k on those cards? Plus upscaling uses more memory.

It's time people take responsibility for their actions.

8GB is fine to play 99.999% of games at sensible settings fir the hardware with 8GB of vram.

I don't know, 30-40% is substantial.

Sadly, it looks like I won't be getting one, huge storm stripped where I'm living of both power, Internet and mobile services for atleast the next week, so guess I'm waiting on restock in a month lol.

Also, it's, really freaking cold lol

[Andrius227]

As long as its >10% faster than my 4080, i will buy it. I need another gpu anyway.

I don’t think it’s OK to attack people for not affording top end GPUs.
I’ve seen plenty of disappointed players who can’t run some newer games due to VRAM limitations. They did pay extra for their GPUs and got less memory. Even if Nvidia made a mistake with 3060 12GB it still shows that they could make affordable cards with sufficient memory.
Maybe if more players had 12GB on PC then devs wouldn’t have to de-optimise ps5 ports made for 12,5GB at upscaled 1080p for 8GB at native 1440p. Maybe we wouldn’t have such high CPU requirements for data streaming and every second game with traversal stutters.

Just because most games run on 8GB it doesn’t mean it’s the optimal hardware configuration. Same as Nintendo Switch able to run 100% of Switch games is not an optimal gaming hardware when devs have no choice but to butcher their games.

I won't apologise for giving some a wake up call, because honestly, if you cannot afford to save up 500 bucks every 2 to 4 years, you really should be having a long hard look at your life and trying to work on that rather than playing games, just because it's hard to hear, doesn't make it the truth.
