Hefty power consumption for RTX 5090. And a big price hike over the 5080. 

Hopefully it wont be more expensive when available.

RTX 5090 - $1999

RTX 5080 - $999

RTX 5070 Ti - $749

New cooler design for reference card. With small PCB and both fans blow through. 

Nvidia are claiming the 5070 has 4090 performance. 

Required system PSU power for the 5090 is 1000 watts.

Now with up to 4x fake frames. Yay.

What would you have liked to see from nVidia?

Something that actually renders frames, way more efficiency and lower prices. Fake frames i can live with 1x as is, more is opening a can of worms.

But it's inevitable. AI and marketing will drive us into that.

With multi-frame generation and nothing else. It's an incredibly deceiving statement.

Not that deceptive since we are all pretty much attuned to the reality behind it.  Its an attention grabbing marketing statement, and only those with zero inquisitive instincts will accept it at face value without questioning the circumstances under which it was achievable and whether that will actually apply to them in their use case.

Being aware of the deception doesn't make it any less of a deception.

I do wholly agree with what you're saying. It's twofold, consumers should be doing research to avoid deception but the whole while we should still call out when companies try to deceive people because a lot of people still buy 4080/4090s simply because they have the money and fell for the marketing when they realistically didn't need those cards.

Its possibly not deceptive at all, in that under one specific set of circumstances at one time, they maybe did manage to replicate 4090 performance statistics in some limited definition.  Potentially misleading in the generality, definitely!

Suprising how small the PCB IS.

All heat will be dumped into the case with this boy.

A new DLSS 4 (which will be added to existing 4000 series too, later, according to VRFlightSimGuy's video). Nvidia with over the top claims about it (their image):

 

 

27, 77, 140, 245

Was thinking of getting a 5090

Or should i get a second hand 4090?

Thoughts?

Thanks

Both AMD and Nvidia use frame generation fakery to stop the rise to 1,000W GPUs.
