RTX 5000 Launch, prices and specs
Discussion
Anyone going for one of these? Somewhat suspicious of the claimed frame rates, or rather the 4-for-1 generated frames. Will be interesting to see what the real world numbers are like with and without the frame generation.
Until recently, I was running a 2080 Super, holding out for these to be released. But pre-Christmas I decided I didn't fancy all the malarky with scalpers buying them up, plus the bother of upgrading my PSU so I picked up a 4080 Super instead. Getting 100 fps + in Cyberpunk so that will keep me happy for a while.

I've not long upgraded from a 2060 Super FE 8Gb to a Raedon 7900XT with 20GB of VRAM. The value for money vs Nvidia was a no brainer, haven't had any issues with drivers etc and it's taken everything I've thrown at it thus far at 1440p.
My concern with this specific push of frame gen AI/DLSS is it will bring in less effort from developers to optimise games (I use my PC for gaming almost exclusively).
I'd rather the developer manufactured their product to be compatible at multiple levels, on different hardware etc rather than have it running fine at 1080p and relying on upscaling.

Possibly before end of March. . .
Dependant on remaining stock….
4070 Super, 4070 Ti Super
or
5070
Do we think 4070 TiS will be similar performance to a 5070? Probably have to wait for further testing & reviews I guess.
No real hardcore gaming except for some World of Warships 4K for big screen game time, otherwise 1080p to may upgrade to a 1440p monitor.

I’m still rocking a 1070 and 3070ti here.
I’m sure plenty have the higher end kit but I bet target spec for devs is still at the same level it was in 2019-2020.
£200-£300 for a good mid level gpu was always my target,
Even with inflation and sitting at £350 ish (when I bought my 3070ti), I’m struggling to justify a £400 purchase for something fractionally faster (in raw terms) after several years have passed.

It's things like path traced RT that I'll be upgrading for my 4070 is OK but its struggles and 12Gb is starting to be a limitation .... I'm running a Ryzen 5900 and 1440p Ultrawide. I'll probably stick with the CPU for another gen.I’m sure plenty have the higher end kit but I bet target spec for devs is still at the same level it was in 2019-2020.

Not going to knock your 1660 Super, but that Ivybridge i5 had its day about 7 years ago! Not so much wafting as limping, if it was a champion race horse you'd have shot it by now!
I'm surprised they dropped the 5070's, retail distribution has just been caught out by that with expectations of Easter shipping.

I don't believe for a second that the 5070 will be the performance equivalent of a 4090 except for some very niche, cherrypicked tasks - but it is nice that they came out and announced the 090, 080 and 070 models together and will be be releasing them very close to each other.
I've got a 4070 and will be sticking with that for the foreseeable. If NVidia do a 5070 Super down the line, I might be tempted. But that 12gig is pretty limiting for a new 'mid tier' GPU in 2025. Typical NVidia .. trying to protect their market for expensive AI cards.

The existing single-frame generation on the 40xx cards hasn't exactly set the gaming world on fire so no idea why they are trying to hype the 'multi-frame' generation on the latest 50xx series. Unless they've really managed to improve the quality of generated frames and boosted raw performance to the point where you could run at a native, locked 60fps and multiply it to 120/180/240fps displayed .. and kept to a delay of one frame (ie 16.67ms).Until recently, I was running a 2080 Super, holding out for these to be released.

Looking at the sample I've seen in Cyberpunk the DLSS and FG quality is much better due to the higher level of training and AI cores on the newer models.Engadget reporting DLSS 4 will be available on all RTX cards including back to the 20xx series, DLSS 3 isn't even on 20/30 series cards it's a 40xx series exclusive.
With just MFG (Multi Frame Generation) on the 50xx cards.

If I squint I can just about justify an upgraded PC as currently STILL wafting along on an i5-3570k / 1660 Super 
You and me both!I'm on an i7-5930k / 2080 super but I'm doing way too much "retro" gaming. I think an upgrade is on the cards this year plus I want something hefty for post processing photos etc.
Hopefully 5080 and a decent AMD CPU and 32Gb will see me through the next 5 years....

I'm still happy with my current card, will do most games 1440p at a reasonable framerate, if I were to upgrade the GPU then I'd have to upgrade the CPU as well as the RAM and storage to do it justice.
Are they using Half Life 2 to showcase the card in the slider picture halfway down the page?
