For what it is, it's priced as a halo product adding zero performance per dollar spent compared to the 4090. If you want the absolute best, at least it's not a negative performance per dollar situation. That said, it really needs a die shrink to 3nm to get the thermals and power usage under control IMO. The added power draw and thermals are extremely off-putting to me at least.yea it is, new microarch smells.
That's terrible "new gen" perf improvementIt will be within 10 percent above 4080 SUPER
Not even that it’s also bad at video editing/exporting. Those new media engines are either unoptimised or not goodnew microarch smells.
I feel very vindicated in my previous assertion that the 5090 exhausting its heat upwards directly into the CPU cooler was a horrible design decision. A 575w TBP video card should exhaust out the back of the case, full stop.
I think it's immature drivers all the way around. nVidia should have postponed this launch it seems. I would theorize nVidia was worried about tariffs making the value proposition negative and rushed the launch.Not even that it’s also bad at video editing/exporting.

At least with modern cases, the power supply isn't sucking in hot air from the video card and CPU?New cases needed with a "first PCIe slot isolation chamber" to keep the heat away from other components.
Probably driver issues (kek).Those new media engines are either unoptimised or not good
Would've been fine if the perf uplift was at least noteworthy. alas.For what it is, it's priced as a halo product adding zero performance per dollar spent compared to the 4090.

The liquid is still gonna heat up and make the AIO fans work harder and noisier.I predicted it would be a disaster for air cooled CPUs, but I suspect the overwhelming majority of 5090 buyers are going to be running a liquid cooled CPU
Which means it was so un-ready for prime time before the prime buying season holidays, nVidia felt PR fallout would be so negative that the Sales boost for 2024 wasn't worth it. Highly likely the stock they were able to produce was also insufficient since stock even now is abysmal. Probably both.Mind you, it was already postponed from Q4'24.
Personal preference of mine, but I see AIOs as a potentially catastrophic point of failure for a very expensive piece of electronics, and often a good air cooler will outperform them anyways. But then, I engineer my machines to continue running at 100% CPU utilization with or without all my fans being operational, so there's that.The liquid is still gonna heat up and make the AIO fans work harder and noisier.
I think it was given it will cool worse than massive 3+ slot AIB cards. The allure of the design, aside of the lower price than AIB, that you can fit the card in the small case, or potentially can have 2 of them, which is rather difficult to do with those 3 and half inch cards, even if you have big-tower. I shall know, i have 2x4090 like that and had to really consider case size, mobo layout and which particular models to get, to fit them both.View attachment 115480
The FE cooler is a joke with those temps. I would've been surprised as heck if both those temps had been under 80C with a two slot design and so much heat to dissipate.
Really no sympathy for the folks who pay for this crap.
That RAM is like the 3090 issue all over again. They forget so easily, their past "adventures".
This could be the first time that a previous gen card's prices go up!
So just the case fans blowing the needed air while the CPU fan only kicks in at like 90C?But then, I engineer my machines to continue running at 100% CPU utilization with or without all my fans being operational, so there's that.
There Daniel owen video above, seeems in UE5 games like ~25% improvement. Which mass engineit's less impressive in other games.
wait, the RTRT bump is less?Highlghts at 4K (it's best showing):
Raster: +27%
Ray Trasing: +17%
This is the card ~30% more shaders.
Also Power consumption with Vsync (to equalize performance), is higher on the 5090, so it's less efficient.
Raster is dead don't you knowwait, the RTRT bump is less?
Hopefully reviewers mention RDNA3 and 5090 in the same sentence from now till forever.feels like worse than RDNA3...
More along the lines of at 100% CPU utilization, if a case or CPU fan fails (at least 2 of each type are installed), the CPU might run slightly hotter or even thermal throttle (I set the motherboard to throttle at 90°C in both of my signature's systems), but I'll get a warning and maybe lower performance until I can correct the hardware failure. In the case of my home fileserver, it has an extremely large heatsink with no fan on the CPU (5700X @65w) and the CPU can run at 100% with zero case airflow; at an elevated temperature of course.So just the case fans blowing the needed air while the CPU fan only kicks in at like 90C?
