News Nvidia announces RTX 50-series at up to $1,999

[Phaaze88]

I'm pleasantly surprised 5080 is only $1k MSRP. Strange thing to say, but I was fully ready it to be like $1300+ with all the doomsday predictions.

That's Founders. Aftermarkets will be the same or higher, depending on product tier. Expect scalped ones to be even higher.

And who knows, maybe Nvidia moved the goalposts again, and it's actually a 5070. Those model names don't mean jack anymore.

It's very impressive that they kept the 90 under 2k. I was ready to pay up to 2500 to 3000 actually. I'm not sure how they did that but I'm glad they did.

But they didn't..?
$1,999. Come on, there's likely 99 cents behind that.
The AIO and custom block models would come close to that $2,500 though.

I will give up this time. Grab a old rx470 and make some popcorn... This launch will be spice... how many burn connectors of the first testers 🤣🤣🤣

Only thing I'm interested in seeing, the 5090's ray tracing performance vs 4090, since it's the only thing which can push the 4090, and it does indeed look incredible when using it. It's not just about new games with built-in support (of which it will only become more and more common to see, it's already started), there's also things like RTX Remix mods and other mods as well to hundreds of games, older titles get the most benefit from ray tracing and it's still demanding in them. That doesn't even get into VR which has to render everything twice.

Be very, very careful when comparing RTX 50 to 40. RTX 40 doesn't have DLSS 4. I wanna see a true, genuine, 1 to 1, apples to apples, side by side comparison, both on the exact same hardware, both with DLSS turned off, both running the exact same race, and see what happens

 

[Notton]

So, I'm going out on a limb here, and guessing
5070Ti 18GB: $850
5070 18GB: $650
5060Ti 16GB: $500
5060Ti: $450
5060: $400

What do those prices mean? MSRP? Aftermarket?

We know the MSRP for the 5070 and 5070Ti already. $550 and $750 respectively. So unless you are talking aftermarket prices, you are already wrong on those counts. If you are, please say so clearly to avoid confusion.

You are wrong with the VRAM, too, the 5070Ti has 16GB and the 5070 12GB. It's all in the article...

no

Yes, it is? Please read it, and specify what the heck you are talking about.

Maybe its something to do with the yields that they are seeing. A lot of "defective" cores might be ending up in the 5070 Ti class category, hence its pricing. Similarly the 5080 is kind of restricted to only half the 5090's performance and so thats what it is priced at.

Im sure the top binned cores are going to the laptop GPUs where efficiency matters the most

 

[tommyhardware]

Are you saying you think it's possible that, while they're calling it a 5080, the performance tier puts it on the same level as a 70?

 

[emike09]

On the 5080 side, quite impressed they kept their pricing inline, though a bit disappointed they didn't aim for 20GB or 24GB of VRAM. We'll see how the increased bandwidth and software tech compensates for this, but current games already saturate 16GB of VRAM, and I see games hitting 18-20GB of VRAM on my 4090, even some 2-year-old games. Hopefully we see more Direct Storage usage, as well as better utilization of system memory as an intermediary cache between the storage drive and VRAM. But that's all up to the devs.

Likely, devs don't care about more VRAM until consoles get major revisions for more additional memory usage. Until then, optimize, optimize, optimize.

 

[tommyhardware]

I just don't know who Nvidia is producing video cards for when AAA game studios are out there saying that those kinds of games don't lead to more sales.

Seeing as they keep making the 90, people ARE buying them. I'm sure Nvidia doesn't need or expect to sell tons of the 5090s to rationalize a new gen. The 90 is essentially a "halo vehicle," allowing Nvidia to showcase their capabilities and attract attention to the company.

TDP 575 Watt... Over here the electricity cost comes to some 2 Euro for every 5 hours at max use. So at an (somewhat intense) average of 150 hours a month, that comes to some 60 Euro a month, or 720 Euro a year.

Well, an initial cost of 2,400 Euro (incl. VAT), I could live with, at 50 Euro per month, counted for 4 years (and not having a car, ...). But 50+ Euro on top of that every month, that's where it gets expensive for me. Let alone, if next gen in 2 years has a better performance to TDP ratio (or 6080 is near par with 5090 - i.e. the 4070 Ti has better performance than the 3090 Ti). So, even before benchmarks, that's already a pass on the 5090 for me.

Oh, these cards seem much better than I expected, especially regarding the prices that were rumoured ! It’s just the power consumption/heat that’s really too much for me. I’m not sure what I would upgrade my 4070 to, as I decided I won’t be having a card that has more than 200 W total max power. Not that I need to upgrade now, unless my graphics card breaks

 

[-Fran-]

I'm debating whether or not Jensen, during the presentation, was joking with saying the 4090 was a good investment and everyone in the room had one inside of their $10K PCs... That was kind of shocking to hear and tells you all you need to know about his mindset.

As for the tech they showed... I'm not impressed, honestly. They're leaning too heavily on anxilliary tech for the "bigger bar better". Hallucinated frames is not what I want. That does not help in multiplayer games.

And the pricing... Still too expensive for my taste. The only card I was expecting to be higher in the MSRP was the 5080, but for some bizarre reason Jensen decided to keep it at 1K. Also, if someone really believes the 5070 will be a 4090 replacement, I feel sad for them.

Overall, not impressed, but still better than AMD and Intel combined for sure.

Regards.

Good to see the 5080 with the same price as the 4080 Super but I’m not so impressed with the VRAM but GDDR7 should make up for it. If it’s as fast or faster than the 4090 then good luck finding it for MSRP 😭

 

[PiersPlowman]

I can assure you that these prices, once the products are out in the wild, will be hopelessly optimistic. And, depending on the region, they will be very pricey.

Still, the above posts are evidence that gamers will pay whatever Huang asks.

 

[coromonadalix]

absolute non sense prices wooow jaw dropped, and people will still buy them Nvidia know how to suck our wallets, still in the rtx3060 series, absolutely will wait

if well see crash and burn, or ripped off pcb etc ....

Newsflash, AMD won't be a lick better priced. And those prices are actually better than the last gen...

 

[bill001g]

So now the new AI enhanced DLSS can generate 3 fake frames from 1. Why not just generate 10000 fake frames and we could not buy the game to begin with. The AI can even play the game for us and we can just watch.

Maybe the center of the screen should have a huge FPS number since that seem to be more important to a lot of people rather than the actual content that is displayed on the screen.

 

[MergleBergle]

It's very impressive that they kept the 90 under 2k. I was ready to pay up to 2500 to 3000 actually. I'm not sure how they did that but I'm glad they did.

lol! It's $1 under 2k. I mean, I have a DOLLAR in my pocket right now! $1998 to go! 😉 It's not THAT impressive

 

[MergleBergle]

Ah, a new generation of Nvidia GPUs!

I can’t wait for people to find new and creative ways (or old ones) to twist the narrative and say that this is a terrible launch, that no one can afford these GPUs, that nobody uses ray tracing, that they have no reason to upgrade from their 1080Ti/3080, etc. etc.

Oh look; someone is already saying that there is no point because nobody plays AAA games anymore! You hear that CDPR? 25 million people bought Cyberpunk 2077 and yet apparently nobody plays AAA games anymore!

Let all get to whining about Nvidia!

Generally speaking, the most vocal whining about Nvidia tends to be from the Nvidia fans, not the neutral fans. Whining on Nvidia's behalf, not against them. I don't expect this to change, and thank you for the validation. 😀

Far Cry 6 is native rendering. Looks like maybe 25-30% faster for the 5090. Same thing for the 5080. Should be in the ballpark of the 4090. 4090 was about 25% faster at 4k compared to the 4080.

 

[ottonis]

There's just one slight problem: Many games are cross-platform titles that run on consoles powered by AMD GPUs. How many games are going to support Nvidia's new texture compression technology if it requires even just an RTX graphics card?

Well, AMD will likely develop some similar texture-compression technology, just as it found an answer to nVidias proprietary upscaling algorithms (DLSS).

 

[acadia11]

What’s crazy is $2K is absurd, but everyone is happy about this pricing. Talk about mindshare … In the words of a wiseman, DJ Khalid, “and another one”
