Discussion Is the 50 series going to be a flop?

[Order 66]

I’m skeptical of the 5070s claim of parity with the 4090. Especially because of the slide that seemed to show the 5070 going from 27fps native with full rt to 230 fps with dlss 4.

Yeah, they made all these claims with a lot of asterisks there.

Like that one is for sure only with full blown DLSS4 supporting games at Framegen x4, which there probably won't be all that many at least for a while.


On the other hand, I do think as that eventually as the time will pass framegen will practically be a requirement. Although that would probably need a new console gen to truly become standard.

Which of course means that maybe 50-series might fall into awkward place of it being really good, but only in a few years from now. At which point unless someone needs that upgrade ASAP, might as well wait for 60-series.

I'll upgrade for the simple fact the price just might be right. I paid $1600 for my 4090... and Newegg's GPU trade in just offered me $1350 for it.

No hassles dealing with eBay etc... and paying the difference to get the 5090 makes it a no brainer.

The latest and greatest once again. What about real world gaming and productivity results in real time for consumers BEFORE they invest into a new PC???? I am an old school retired gamer and system builder. So many issues discussed here with the latest high -end systems. I have not seen so many problems with new hardware as now. Please make informed choices with your new rig builds. Cheers.

I would wait to see actual 3rd reviewers benchmarks before even thinking about the 9070 and 9070xt ..

Also there was a mention of that black ops 6 in that video which frank made that the numbers were not totally correct !!

The 7900xtx is still a banger of a card for its price point 24gb and trading blows with the 4080 in raster..

RT is a still a hot and miss system unless your in the 4090 eco system then almost everything you can play at 60fps 4K RT ultra.

Everything below needs DLSS or lower settings that nerf graphics anyway !!

I dont use RT because well to start the 7900xtx isnt very good and to be honest it doesnt hurt my gameplay experience by not using it so why do i actually need it ??

Issue is games are requiring RT now it’s not just raster so you do actually need it.

Seems suspicious. In my opinion it seems like a big joke

I mean, there is nothing to be suspicious about it - it is clear as day that what they meant is that if you slap on DLSS4 with Framegen x4, then the claim checks out.

Otherwise, 5070 will at best be 4080 level, which usually is how it is going gen to gen give or take. Outside of DLSS4, which probably will be properly supported by less than a dozen games total, it's just business as usual really.

Yeah man, pretty much
