    • Yep my 6900xt is not concerned here…looks lame as

      • +1

        Not much happening on team Amd to entice an upgrade either. Maybe once some real numbers and partner pricing and competition is out we will see some worth while options fall out of the marketing fluff.

    5070 gives "4090 levels of performance for USD$549"

    no VRAM though

  • Definitely seem like better value then the 4000 series. But i wont be buying. I base my GPU purchases around the next graphically intensive AAA game im looking forward to. And i wont be upgrading from my 3080 until either GTA6 or Witcher 4 releases.

  • +4

    $1109 for a card with 12GB VRAM, yikes.

  • +2

    5070 is obsolete before even launching, lol.

  • +2

    Wish they would release a successor to the GT1030 so I can upgrade my $80 ex corporate desktop computer with a 180watt psu

  • +4

    I’ll be going from a 3080 to 5080. The $2k seems acceptable for triple the performance. I won’t see a single lost frame when changing browser tabs. (I don’t use chrome - that would have been a big ask).

    • I’m in the same boat as you, it won’t be triple. Looks like ~20% over the 4080 in raster performance which is similar to the 4080 over the 3080, so maybe 50% uplift?

      All the gains on the charts are from improved DLSS, RT performance and in some cases frame generation. The bottom end of the chart like FC6 (RT only) is a more realistic idea of raster performance.

      • When DLSS is this good why play games pure raster though? In terms of upscaling, DLSS 3.8 Balanced preset at 4k looks insanely good, I can only imagine what DLSS 4 will look like. They've also cleaned up the smearing with frame gen - which already looks amazing on v3.7, so even the new 2x mode on 40-series will look much better, and with minimal latency added going to 4x I think it's going to be pretty good once games start implementing it.

        Talking uplift in terms of raster only is slowly becoming irrelevant imo.

        • +2

          It depends, DLSS is great for certain applications, and I do use it. But it can’t be used on everything and it introduces latency and artifacting.

          It sounds like it’s about to change so Nvidia can force DLSS onto non native titles, however I suspect it won’t be as effective in these cases.

          The extra latency makes DLSS basically unusable for competitive titles.

          The artifacting makes DLSS a trade off for frames vs graphics in non competitive titles.

          To me I find it the opposite, why am I paying $2k (or $4k) to introduce lag and artifacts into my games. Half of the reason I want to upgrade is so I can natively hit acceptable frames at high graphics without having to compromise and introduce other side effects.

      • +1

        I realised I made an error, 4080 is in the vicinity of 40% over the 3080, so being generous if you assume the same again (skeptical), you’re looking at ~100% uplift over the 3080 or about what a 4090 was (minus the vram) which probably tracks.

    • careful of the Nvidia numbers, you are definitely not going to see triple the performance. Nvidia are using kinda fake numbers by using DLSS frame rates for comparison rather than like for like.

  • What boggles my mind is why there is no Founders reference card for the 5070Ti.

    • What’s the point though as it was nearly impossible to get ref cards for all other cards 🤷‍♂️

    • They don't sell Founders cards in Aus anyway, so it doesn't really make a difference?

  • il be selling my htc vive pro …my quest 2 …. my 2 2070 supers …
    And maybe just maybe if everything is sold i just might be lucky to get one

    would love the 5080 but if i can just scrip in and get a 5070ti … il be laughing with tears of joy

  • +11

    Jensen said on stage that the 5070 gives "4090 levels of performance for USD$549"

    I think it’s a pretty safe assumption that he means a 5070 achieves 4090 levels of performance only when DLSS 4 is being used, which is a pretty big disclaimer on there.

    Either way, definitely wait for reviews.

    • Jensen did mention i think atleast 3 times that it wouldn't have been possible except through AI, after that claim of 4090 =5070.

      So can't blame him for being misleading

      • +3

        So can't blame him for being misleading

        Why can't you blame him for being misleading?

        Even though he mention AI a few times on stage prior but when it came to finally giving the sale TAG line/sales pitch
        he said
        https://youtu.be/k82RwXqZHY8?t=1126

        5070 | 4090 performance = $549 USD

        NOT

        5070 | 4090* performance = $549 USD
        * = (thanks to AI)

        Only the extreme techy people would know it was due to AI

        most average joes/buyers would just think they can get a 4090 ($1599 USD) performance at 5070 ($549) USD price.

  • +4

    Any interest in the 5070 ti ?? Closest to my price/performance expectations upgrading from a 2080.

    Damn that Oz tax, these cards are fkn expensive. …

    • +1

      I'd love to get one for the VRAM alone.

  • +2

    I'll be looking for bargains on 4 series

  • +12

    "AI" upscaling and frame gen might be the most cancerous shit to come to gaming. It should not be referenced when discussing/comparing performance.

    We don't even know the true performance of cards anymore since everything has a big dlss or frame gen asterisk on it.

    • +1

      I think upscaling tech is really driving current performance though, and allows mid range cards to 'catchup' to higher end cards - also keeping them relevant for longer as newer games get harder to run. Frame Gen is disingenuous though as it has its own issues and if the card can't do 'x' frames from the beginning, frame gen doesn't help a lot.

      DLSS is actually very good, and I think we're really starting to hit a wall with straight rasterised performance, indicative by the ludicrous power draw figures popping up in recent generations.

    • +1

      DLLS upscaling is amazing and should IMO be the “default” for gaming. It legitimately produces better results than native resolution quite often, at worst is almost unnoticeable (at least when using a base res of 1440p) while giving you a massive performance bonus.

      DLSS frame gen, however, is garbage imo. The input and response lag it introduces is just too bad in my experiences on my 4070S.

      Agree it shouldn’t be used when comparing unless it’s in use on both sides of the comparison.

    • We don't even know the true performance of cards anymore since everything has a big dlss or frame gen asterisk on it.

      you can still know the true performance from watching youtube reviews (when it comes out) or reading benchmark tests (without the AI) from many websites…

      You would be a pretty gullible/dumb buyer to trust whatever numbers nvidia puts on it's website/marketing ads or

      However most average joes buyers most likely probably would not be doing this and just buy it cos it is nvidia
      and seeing the nvidia sales pitch 5070 | 4090 performance @ $549 USD

  • Thought the rumours were that the 5080 would be $2800? Will the retailers mark these up?

    • +4

      Depends, those pricing is for founders edition which Australia doesn't get. AIB partners will need to make their cut aswell, I reckon 5080 will be sitting at 2500+

  • +2

    You're really just getting more AI with this release.

  • +3

    Wait for actual benchmarks.

    I'm keen to see what AMD hits back with.

    • Maybe a new software update. Unsure they need to hit back (but hope they do).

    • AMD is no longer targeting the higher end GPU market, so we won't see a 5080/5090 equivalent.

      • +3

        yep and the 9070 and 9070 XT have been stated as 4070/4070ti equivalent. Still that may be enough given the gimped nature of the 5070 as the 9070's "may" be better bang for buck.

        • +1

          That and the fact that there haven't been any games at all to push GPU's since Cyberpunk was released - and even that was just because the game for the most part was just so appallingly optimised.

  • 5090D confirmed for China

    30% drop in Tensor cores but unlike the 4090/4090D, identical CUDA core count

    Jacket Man got the green light so it's NVDA to the moon

  • +2

    Is it time to upgrade my Riva TNT 2?

  • +1

    By "4090 Performance" I'm guessing they mean the same framerate with the new DLSS 4 frame generation, which makes 3 fake frames from 1 frame.

    • +2

      Thats my presumption too.

      I don't really see the point in frame generation considering most people want higher frames for lower latency and frame gen typically increases latency.

  • +1

    No, despite the exchange rate being 1.6, they are double the price here despite us being closer to where they are manufactured than the USA.
    Also check out some of the youtube videos. They are using multiple frame generation to increase the frame rate, only single frame generation is enabled on 4000 series. Actual raw frame rate is only about 20-30% better thsn previous gen.
    Unless they've perfected frame generation, it can introduce artifacts and ghosting.

  • +1

    Would I notice a difference from my Voodoo Banshee?

  • +3

    Im more excited for the DLSS improvements for the current gen. Literally downloading more performance

  • +1

    Who the hell is paying 4k for a GPU.

    • People who has $4K to spend on a GPU

  • The owner of nvidia, billionare because greed.

    • given Nvidia is a publicly listed company and Vanguard is the largest shareholder that means a lot of OZB are owners. I don't think we have many billionaires on here, but I could be wrong.

  • All the Nvidia comparisons are rigged with new gen frame generation, id love to see raw benchmarks of the new series, they should be faster but how much will be interesting

  • Makes me even more tempted to go down the Geforce Now route. Currently offering 4080 level performance for $165 per 6mths. Not needing to deal with bottlenecks and upgrade other parts. If they upgrade the GPU offering to the 5080, and keep the subscription price similar, it seems like a no brainer? Can anyone who has used Geforce Now provide any feedback? (good and bad).

    • +1

      It’s game streaming so it has the downsides of that - latency, image quality, etc.

      • From what I remember reading, assuming you have solid internet, the image quality is on-par, and the latency isn't an issue unless you're playing competitive FPS.

    • It sounds great but it's not a no brainer because you're caught on a subscription model. Even if you pay $3k for a new gen card the way things are going it'll never be worth much less so you do retain a lot of the "investment".

      • +1

        Fair point, but we're talking 6 years worth of Geforce Now subscription before you hit the MSRP price of the 5080, not to mention the cost of other upgrades you might need so that you're not bottlenecking the 5080.

        The absence of some games on the subscription is another downside.

        • True enough. I mean it's great there's an option there for ppl though

  • +5
    • +1

      LOL indeed, that was very entertaining to watch, and eye opening if true.

      So once again, restricting the new AI frame gen tech to only the latest gen series cards, while showing raw native performance has barely increased over previous gen.

      How's that for marketing, haha (the price tag no longer represents better hardware, we are now paying a premium to 'unlock' the next best frame gen tech, each time)

  • +1

    Hey guys,

    I may need an upgrade from my 1070 (had it now for more than 5+ years) but not looking at getting anything fancy like this GPU but can anyone tell me whats a good upgrade but reasonably price maybe around 500? I can bump up my budget if it's a good deal. Im a casual player but I use adobe after effects, illustrator, 3D for my 3d prints but I don't animate 3D.

    My PC specs are:
    AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor 3.80 GHz
    32gb Ram DDR4
    500gb M2
    B550 Aorus elite mobo

    • For $500 approx, the best is RTX 4060 8GB or a bit cheaper RTX 3060 12GB.

    • +1

      Intel B580 is an excellent value at $450+-

    • I would be looking at a used 3070 8gb, should be well under $500. It's a solid card and will be well supported by all your software being Nvidia.

      The 3060 ti 8gb is the same chip but 10% slower, the 3070 ti is also the same chip but 10% faster. The 4060 is about the same as a 3070, if you can find one around the same price that would be the best option

  • I'm not feeling good about the exclusive feature for the next-gen that appears on the AMD side. I was ready to upgrade my 2070 to the 9070 XT, but I will switch to 5080 or 5070 Ti. I don't mind the fake frame. It's better to try everything this day.

    The gap between 5090 and 5080 is huge this time. The jacket man might decide to release the 5080 Ti (A cut-down version of the 5090) to fill the gap later.
    My only complaint about the launch is that 12GB VRAM for a grand is a no-no in 2025—possibly a Super card next year for the 16GB VRAM.

  • I wonder if we'll see some good 40 series discounts with the 50 series being so close. A 4070 Super for $750 during the Black Friday sales was about the best ive seen.

    • $750 was a good deal if true for a 4070 super!

  • -1

    less than 1 eth, nice

  • so in high accuracy competitive gaming will DLSS4 be a disadvantage ?
    As its rendering based on anticipation, not actual… Or will the gap its filling be so minute, that the hitbox variation is next to nil ?

    • Frame Generation will cause latency issues. Definitely no good to use in competitive online gaming, particularly FPS games.

  • dunno wether to get 4080 super or 5080… not much of a performance upgrade

    • if you've got the choice get the 5080. or at least wait until you see some real world results. but from early Digital Foundry impressions, Multi Frame Gen is only adding ~7ms latency on top of regular frame gen so I actually think 4x frame gen, especially with the new model, will be pretty awesome and definitely a viable option to boost frame rate. With these new cards it's not just about raw performance anymore, it's also about having the dedicated hardware to run the new software they're making.

      • ive seen the a vid about the multi frame gen, sounds more like fake frame lol. i’m in no rush, i’ll wait and see but probably lean more towards 50x

        • fake frames… mate I hate to break it to you but everything in a video game is fake, it's all hacks on top of hacks working together to present a motion image that looks real to us. water is just a bunch of tricks to make it look like water. LOD is different levels of presenting only the things you notice, POV is fake as it's not the whole world being rendered - just what you see. I don't get why everyone is upset now at frame gen being "fake frames", it's as viable a hack as everything else used - and the newer versions are doing a great job at cleaning it up and making it look more "real". anyway that's my rant lol

          • @jk82: You are absolutely right, these people have never tried frame gen!
            I was a sceptic until i played hellblade 2 with dlss + amd frame gen
            Base framerate with dlss was 30 ish and framegen pushed it to 45-50fps!
            Even though this was under the 60fps base frame recommended for frame gen, I was blown away and could not tell I was using frame gen at all! It felt and looked like i was playing at 45-50fps!
            These new ai models are even better! So I have no doubt the average person won't be able to tell the difference because these ai generated images are that good!

  • 1660 still going strong lol

  • Dang! Bought 4070tis last April…I should have waited..

  • +2

    Currently rocking a 3080Ti which has been a bloody good card, I cant complain.

    For me the real diliema will be do I pull the trigger on the 5080 or wait for the inevitabel 5080 Super / TI that will undoubtably be released in 12 months time to fill the massive void between the 5080 and the 5090.

    If I was running a 4080 Super or 4090 I would probably skip this generation the 30 percent "real" improvement isnt really worth the squeeze IMHO.
    What really annoys me is the utter Nvidia B/S locking the higher framegen behind an artificial series 5x vs 4x limitation. If you are interested you can buy Loseless Scaling on steam for about 10 bucks, that has been doing X4 FrameGen for a couple of months, essentailly you can run it on anything, AMD or NVIDIA.

    Like the NVIDIA solution it introduces latency into the equation. Given everyone with an RTX card - even series 2 cards will be able to access DLSS 4, only Frame Generation and Multi Frame Generation will be locked behind series 4 and 5 respectively. With Loseless Scaling you can still eat your Frame Gen / Multi Frame Gen cake if you want to on any hardware.

    • Similar to you but running a 3090. I'd be happy to wait a bit longer for a 5080 Super/TI instead as I'm in no rush.

      I'll have to check out Lossless Scaling though! Sounds awesome.

    • I look at Nvidia these days like the old Intel Tick-Tock generations. The 'new' generation is the biggest jump, and then the super etc is a relatively minor refinement possibly with a price reposition. This at least has largely tracked since the 2000 series when they started with the 'Super' Series and pushed back full generations to 2+ years apart.

      Sadly the gains in the generations is pretty mediocre too these days, but I'd still take the ~20-30% on launch, over waiting 18 months for another <5% and maybe a minor price drop.

      Good heads up on the Lossless Scaling. I think it's at least a great way to see if there's any value there over the comparatively minor raster performance increases.

  • people that buy them at these dumb prices are the problem

    My personal gpu purchase history, prices just went oof
    2009 - Sapphire Radeon HD4890 Vapor-X 1GB $299.00
    2013 - Sapphire Radeon HD7950 3GB Vapor-X OC Boost Edition $279.00
    2018 - GeForce® GTX 1060 G1 Gaming 6G $290 (used)
    2022 - EVGA RTX 3080 Ti XC3 ULTRA $1000 (used)

    • I agree to an extent, but you have to factor in inflation to some degree, and more to the point, the efficiency gains just aren't there anymore with computing, so the only real path forward is to just add more silicon which is why power, heat and price are all rising massively.

  • HODLing till 3000series come down - 1070 still going strong

  • 2022 - EVGA RTX 3080 Ti XC3 ULTRA $1000 (used)

    You did very well there I preordered mine and paid just a touch over 2k in Mid 21. I was comming from a GTX 1080 so the performance increase was mind blowing at the time.
    I will repaste and putty it and give it to my son for his rig where it will continue to provide good service.

    Unfortunatly I don't see the prices comming down any time soon. The reality is for NVIDIA gaming is really just a side hustle, in Q4 2024 they made 2.9 Billion US from gaming graphics sales. That sounds like alot, until you compare it to the 18.4 billion they made from AI in the same Quarter………

    A little ray of hope with Intel and AMD putting pressure on the mid range. But with AMD bowing out of the high end they can really just charge whatever the hell they want for their 5080's and 5090's. Even with those prices availability will still be scarce in the short to mid term. In fact, if the trend with the 4090's continue, it is now at EoL and still scarce!

    • Ohhhh I rarely ever pre order or day one buy anything PC related, but a founders edition 5070 for my ITX case would be SAWEEEETTTTT

  • Gtx770 still going strong for everything I play

    • runescape doesnt count

  • Please. For the love of god educate yourselves. The 5070 is not 4090 performance, it's not anywhere close. 4090 is within 22-29% of the 5090. 5070 is nowhere near either of those cards. What nvidia is using is ai generated numbers in less than 0.001% of games on the market that will be using multi-frame-gen. 4x framegen to be exact. So of course FOUR 5070's generating fake frames are going to be about a 4090. The reality is that the 5080 and 5070 are barely 1-2% faster than their predecessors. Wait until the hardware nexus and hardware unboxed reviews come out. You'll be shocked at how bad this generation is. Please lookup literally any youtube tech guys that talk about this. I repeat —— 5070 is not 4090 numbers in anything but fake frame smoothness in 0.001% of games. This generation is purely dedicated to ai framegen hardware and NOT raster hardware. You can get a new generation card, by all means, but we don't live in a world where a 5070 will ever be remotely in the ballpark of a 4090.

    • +2

      For the love of god educate yourselves

      literally no one here is under the illusion that the 5070 is matching the 4090 in terms of raw performance. relax

    • "The reality is that the 5080 and 5070 are barely 1-2% faster than their predecessors." - Very unlikley to be accurate.

      "4090 is within 22-29% of the 5090" - probably very close.

      I expect it will be close to 25-30 percent across the board.

      If you go here https://www.nvidia.com/en-au/geforce/graphics-cards/50-serie… and click through the cards head to head 5 v 4 series and use the Far Cry 6 figures which doesnt use frame gen fillers you will get a pretty decent idea. The more FrameGen magic you add obviously the numbers soar.

    • I remember all the dlss sceptics saying the same thing and saying how dlss was "fake" back when 20xx cards released!

      I wonder where all those people are now?

      4x MFG will work with all existing titles that have dlss3 framegen so not sure where you are getting 0.001% of games from lol?

      You will be proven so wrong when ALL new triple A titles comes out supporting this tech! You have no idea how powerful and influential nvidia has over game devs! They literally own the industry now!

      Any game dev that doesn't support dlss4 will be shooting themselves in the foot!

      Lets come back in a year and see how right I was!

    • The 5070 will be at 4080 super levels of performance right? That's all I'm hoping for as someone with a 1440p 165hz monitor

  • So in 99.99% of games that come out on steam that don't use multi-frame-gen, let's say a 4090 gets you 58FPS at 4k a 5090 would get you approx -73 to 77fps. A 5070 would get you in the high 20s low 30s in the same game. You can use something like lossless framegen to boost ANY game. But you sure as hell can't use nvidias multi framegen.

    • You are very confused mate!

      4090 will be 1.6-2x vs 5070 in pure raster no upscaling

      so a 2x MFG will = 4090 , NOT 4x!

      When people talk about 4x equalling 4090 they are comparing 4090(with 2x frame gen) vs 5070(with 4x MFG)

      MFG will work on ALL existing titles that have dlss3 frame gen!

      Hope this clears your confusion!
