I always ask for a receipt when buying used hardware and offer it to anyone I sell to. My 4090 was from a scalper but he gave me the receipt.
We're barely a month from the 5090 launch. They're probably waiting for RDNA4, and they could easily revamp everything with better pricing or a super generation down the road if there's need. 5080 will still go unmatched, as will the 5090. What do they have to worry about?I'm almost kind of wondering if nVidia has given up on Blackwell.
I happened to have some time this morning and was curious about PhysX performance with cards other than the 3050. Since I have a recently acquired 5070 Ti, I put a few configurations together and ran some Batman Arkham City benchmarks. I have a GT 1030, RTX 4060, 5070 Ti, and 4090 in the mix. The rig is the 9800X3D system in my signature.
PhysX set to high, VSync disabled, and 1440p resolution, but otherwise left everything at stock. Unfortunately I couldn't install a dedicated PhysX card with the 4090 due to its size. I ran each configuration twice to ensure results were within margin of error territory. My theory was that a 1030 GT would be sufficient to offload the PhysX, but clearly that wasn't the case. Also, I was very surprised to see the 5070 Ti + 4060 configuration beat my 4090 overall!

Does anyone else remember the glory days of dual GPU flagship cards?
We need some brave company to bring it back... Sell us a 5090 and a 3050 on a single board, then we have a true flagship that can actually play Batman with PhysX enabled

This time it feels different.
NVidia's main priority right now is datacenter. AMD has no high end consumer GPUs so gamers get to simmer on the back burner.

RTX 5070 is going to get horrible reviews for sure. They need to introduce variants with higher density memory chips at <$500 price point. 12 GB version should receive at least $100 price cut immediately.

It should not be hard for Nvidia to do that. But rumors say even 5070 supply is miniscule (for a few months).All they have to do is deliver MSRP cards, and people will buy them over the 9070 which AMD brilliantly priced equal to the 5070.
The MSRP problem isn't one they can really control if they don't ship enough cards. The market will decide the value of them, and it will get inflated and scalpers will pick shelves - online and IRL - clean.It should not be hard for Nvidia to do that.

LOL... My MSRP 5070 Ti from Feb 20th still hasn't shipped. At this point by the time I get it we'll be at the 6th, maybe I can sell it for $220 over MSRP and my 3080 and just upgrade to a 9070 XT."Won" a Newegg shuffle:
What a deal! Only $220 above the fake MSRP!
Let's see. By selling both 5070 Ti and 3080, you lose:LOL... My MSRP 5070 Ti from Feb 20th still hasn't shipped. At this point by the time I get it we'll be at the 6th, maybe I can sell it for $220 over MSRP and my 3080 and just upgrade to a 9070 XT.
