Nvidia RTX 5090 and 5080 could be here much sooner than expected

Nvidia RTX 5090 and 5080 could be here much sooner than expected (pcgamesn.com)

It’s not just AMD’s new Zen 5 CPUs that are now expected to come out much sooner than we originally anticipated, as it’s now looking as though theNvidia RTX 5090 release datecould be landing well before the end of the year. Not only that, but it’s possible that Nvidia’s new Blackwell gaming GPUs will be announced at the Computex tradeshow in June 2024.

Fantastic news! My 4K 240HZ OLED (which also does 480hz 1080p) is coming in soon and I'll need a beefy card. Hopefully these release this year as the rumors suggest.

Annoyed I had to get a 4080S (release day) because my 3080 shit the bed. Was really trying to hold out for the 5 series.

Nice! 2 years is a good length of time between GPU generations.

@BassMan will no doubt be all over the RTX 5090 in no time😅

But anyway, 2025 was going to be the start of RTX 50XX line but releasing them late this year is a welcome surprise. The 5090 is said to have 32GB VRAM and that's way more enough for game development in mind. As usual, I don't often upgrade whenever a new GPU arrives. Still satisficed with my RTX 4070 and having 12GB VRAM is a nice bonus but, if the 5070 is getting the VRAM upgrade, I might...just might upgrade and it needs to be 18GB VRAM...

I almost feel sorry for PS5 Pro being left in the dust...almost😏

I hope the release the mobile 5060 soon as well. They did release mobile versiond of their gpus close to their flagships the last time.

I want to get a new laptop.

I skipped out on the 40 series to wait for these, so I'll be making a much bigger leap this time. I hope they drop soon, it's time to treat myself

3080Ti has been serving me well but I'm waiting to see what the 5000 series brings.

Meh, doesn’t really matter as developers make games for the masses which means they will never truly take full advantage of a high end gpu.

still rocking my 550Ti from over 10 years ago. I'm thinking either the 6000 series or 7000 series will be where I finally jump in.

Hot damn! That is well over 10 year ago.

What CPU are you using?

Untrue if your display can do 4K 165-240hz, 1440P 265-360hz, or 1080p 480hz. Your losing graphics but gaining performance if the developer does that.

Holy shit, dude. Can you even run Balatro? LOL

he's also looking forward to ps5 pro, it's just funny

@pyro1245: Haha, I have a 7970HD. Built my puter in 2012 for Diablo 3. It barely runs :)

>Rip TAA out of games

>Play games at 8K downscaled to 1080p

@ghostofgolden: 100% agreed.

I bought my 4090 just over a year ago and would be pretty upset if only 9-10 months later it wouldn't be the fastest GPU in the world anymore.

Although I don't have much reason to upgrade, I am planning on swapping the 4090 for a 5090 to keep the title up for another 2 years.

I just hope I get a decent amount of cash for the 4090 lol.

I wonder if they will have a new trick up their sleeve like frame gen with the 4000 series (though it turns out you don't really need the upgraded optical flow accelerator of the 4000 series to do it).

e.g. Maybe they have found a way to be able to generate the the fake frame without having 2 frames to interpolate between. That would be a very neat trick as you could get the benefit of a higher framerate both in terms of smoother motion and also more responsive feeling controls. If they could do that AND make the tech more usable at lower framerates (being able to make a game playing at 30FPS look and feel like it's playing at 60)......that would be a very cool trick. Intel mentioned it in passing as something they were looking at a while back for Xess.

Anywho I doubt I'll be upgrading. My 6900XT still serves my needs just fine and the games i'm currently playing, well, they are so undemanding (Fallout 3 and Shogun 2 mainly) that the fans on my GPU don't even turn on.

I'm still using GTX780 from 2013. I would love to upgrade but I may wait another generation at this point.

You have to live next to a power plant for it

I doubt I will be getting these, but I might use it as an opportunity to pick up a cheap used 30XX or 40XX card.

Dont think my 1070 will hold out much longer. It served me for 8 years though.

Yawn.... Call me when they announce steam deck 2. Lol....

Couldn't resist, bassman.

On a serious note, I think I will get a Steam Deck 2 before I buy a new graphics card.

While it is not a steam deck, I have gotten more use out of my ROG Ally, than I ever would have had from a 40XX card.

Oh a hundred percent! Lol. I only play on deck. I'd pre-order an upgrade today if they announced it.

@Maroxad: when the new ones come out, how does 200-250e+ shipping for 3090 sound like? Hasnt been used in the ⛏️ industry 😁

@Maroxad: If I were you, I would've swap the 1070 to an GTX 1080Ti a long time ago as that GPU is still the goat. I know few PC gamers are still using GTX 970 and that was a great GPU despite the controversy on the VRAM fiasco.

It's okay I will hook my Tesla up to my PC.

That is the price I am hoping for. But I need one with at least 12gb vRAM. Lack of vRAM is my main concern atm.

Solidworks was a LOT of fun when my project couldnt even be rendered once it got large enough.

@Maroxad: 3090 has 24gb

@howmakewood: Good!

Then I wont fail an assignment due to technical reasons. (Yes, I actually failed an assignment because my 8 year old PC couldnt handle the task.

There's one more thing I hope we don't see again for the RTX 5000 series is those 16-Pin Connector/12VHPWR just needs to go. Yes, I know its the fault of the RTX 5000 owners who need to just push harder to connect the GPU itself but even so, hearing all these melting cables is just crazy. Nvidia needs to go back to the old school power connectors as AMD proves it they can still draw more power without using 16-Pin Connectors.

Nice, been getting an inkling to upgrade my 2080. Haven't been gaming as much lately though, and if I do I'm replaying old games or not graphically demanding indie games.

I'll be upgrading my 1070ti to a 5080 if the price is 1K or less.

Far more interested in a 5070 card. I think I'll get far more value this way.

I will probably go with 5080 to go with my 7800X3D, 90 series power draw gets my room too dang hot sometimes.

Why do they bother releasing new GPU's so often? Nothing really takes advantage of the earlier versions....expecially since PC exclusives don't exist anymore, in terms of AAA graphical fidelity and performance games??...what i mean is that the console counterparts don't look radically different to the PC ones. We are mainly upgrading for better AA and upscaling minor crap that does little to the imagination. Yeah yeah PC fanboys will lie and argue different cause they're truly blind.

Graphics tech evolution is important. We have come so far. Even in recent years, there has been a nice evolution. When I bought a 2080 Ti, RT was pretty much a no go if u wanted to keep high frame rates. Then with my 3080, I started to take advantage of RT in some games. Now with my 4090, I use ray or path tracing in every game that has the option. Each one of those GPUs is better than the consoles and each one allowed for games to be pushed further. The consoles are low end hardware at this point. The very basic bitch experience.

If you don't care about quality or are too cheap/can't afford it, that is fine. You don't have to upgrade frequently. That is the beauty of PC, you spend what you want and upgrade at your own pace. If you don't want the new stuff, then don't buy it. You can keep using your existing hardware. However, there are others like myself who get excited for these advancements. There are also others that skip generations and are waiting for this new generation to upgrade. Options, options, options.

Because PC gaming is all about giving options. And as it happens. There are a lot of people on a 30XX. Who may be willing to upgrade, now that that their graphics cards are nearing 4 years of age.

@Maroxad: Its all about offering options, and you chose the one that uses a mid entry gpu from 2016. We're in 2024 btw. Your gpu is older than the Switch, a god damn relic of the industry. Very cringe maroxad.

Really curious to see a) how the 5080 and 5090 will perform relative to current top offerings and b) how they will be priced.

That being said, most likely wont be upgrading just yet this time around. My 7900 XTX is good enough performance wise for now. But certainly gonna go back to nvidia at some point after this test with AMD GPU (the 7900 XTX is good at raster, but the drivers are a little buggy, and FSR is not as good as DLSS, not to mention the inferior RT, which granted on anything that is not a 4090 RT aint worth the massive perf drop imo anyway but still).

@hardwenzen: What's wrong with using a 1070?

There hasnt been a single game I can't run on it. Small ammounts of extra graphical fidelity is not worth the

• Price tag
• Environmental damage
• Extra energy consumption

@Maroxad: There's nothing wrong using GTX 1070 if all your doing is just gaming in 1080p/60fps, its fine for most games but games like Cyberpunk 2077 and high-power AAA games do need more VRAM and processing power...even just doing 1080p/60fps isn't enough for a 1070. We still see few PC gamers are still using their GTX 970 ( even GTX 980Ti) for that matter.

You should be able to purchase like an RTX 3070Ti for a fair price and its a mega upgrade from an GTX 1070 IMO.

He plays potato games like Dwarf Fortress. 1070 is more than enough for that trash.

This man forgot FPS and path tracing exist. I very much take advantage of the earlier versions.

They don't look radically different, but do look noticeably better. All while performing (FPS) radically different.

Blindness is not being able to tell the difference between running games at 30/60 fps vs. 120/240 fps.

how about everything that could be wrong?

*Looks at my GTX 1060*

Yeah I think I'm a bit overdue for an upgrade.

That's the plan :)

Once the new Graphics cards come out, I will see about getting a used 3090. The extra performance is whatever. But I have been given a bad time due to a lack of VRAM for my engineering work.

Last report from Moore's Law is Dead was it's almost certainly a paper launch if they comes anytime before Q4.

I'm planning to upgrade from a 3080 to 5080 or 90, but I'm in no rush.

Don't help the scalpers.
