News NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Is 2x Faster Than 4080 At $999, RTX 5070 Ti 2x Faster Than 4070 Ti At $769, RTX 5070 Faster Than 4090 For $549

@HE-MAN we're all 3080 boys, including @Tracer_Bullet (and he also has an OLED monitor, so he'll be the best judge).
From ips its a great upgrade, esp if we can use in a dark env. i just love it.
But from an oled tv, dunno. Better ergonomics, text clarity and better refresh rates. Other things, from what i have heard, are better with TVs including brightness.

But also 5070ti, to me, seems like not enough of an upgrade from 3080. Probably a little under 50% and at stupid prices. Next gen should be on new nodes.

---------------------

Also - Its unfortunate that 3d tvs never really took off. They should have targeted gamers, would love to have 3d oleds. They even had no glasses 3d apparently on TV ( sony maybe).

---------------------

I use the CX for couch gaming with xbox controller nothing else. keyboard & mouse are wireless too. I was thinking of this https://www.pcstudio.in/product/msi-mag-271qpx-27-inch-qd-oled-e2-wqhd-gaming-monitor/
not sure though
Better do some research on monitor vs tv for oleds. rtings is nice.

wow, 58k is very nice price. These monitors are getting cheaper. I got it for almost double ( 4k 32).
Nice.
This might ( dunno, double check) be close to your monitor, so can check this for review. From initial look, qpx vs qrx only lacks useless rgb and has some difference usb power. Maybe wont do firmware updates, dunno.

On the flipside, DLSS 4 is pretty substantial in either the performance or quality mode with several noticable qol updates...

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Benchmarks Leak, Up To 20% Faster Than RTX 4070​

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Offers A 20% Performance Increase Over RTX 4070, Faster Than 4070 Ti In Vulkan Tests

The first performance benchmarks of NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5070 have leaked out, and it offers an uplift of close to 15% over its predecessor.

In the OpenCL test, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 GPU scored 187,414 points while the Vulkan score ended up at 188,712 points. For comparison, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 scored 167,924 points in the OpenCL test and 156,601 points in the Vulkan test. This shows up to a 20% lead for the RTX 5070 over its predecessor, which is about as much as NVIDIA hinted at (native raster/RT).

If we compare the 5070 to the 4070 Ti, then we can see that the Vulkan performance is pretty much identical, but the OpenCL performance sees a bigger gain for the 4070 Ti. The 4070 Ti features the same amount of VRAM but if we compare the card to the 4070 Ti SUPER, the 5070 loses against it and the latter also comes with more VRAM (16 GB vs 12 GB).

So, all in all, we can expect the gaming performance to land somewhere between the 4070 Ti and 4070 Ti SUPER, which is a far cry from the RTX 4090 levels of performance that the company claimed during its event showcase. That will only be achievable through DLSS 4 (Multi-Frame-Generation), which isn't supported by the RTX 40 series.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 will be facing some tough competition from the AMD Radeon RX 9070 series graphics cards based on the RDNA 4 architecture, which are expected to offer great performance at competitive pricing, so whether NVIDIA would have to entice gamers but their software innovations and probably a game bundle or two.

Since PhysX Games Are A Problem On NVIDIA RTX 50 GPUs, This User Combined RTX 5090 With RTX 3050 To Solve The Performance Issue​

User Shows You Can Still Play PhysX-Dependent Games on NVIDIA's RTX 50 GPUs, But Only if You Own an Older GPU Like RTX 3050

VqEUtrK.png


Redditor improves NVIDIA PhysX games' performance by several folds by adding an RTX 3050 to his setup that is powered primarily by an RTX 50 GPU.

Since NVIDIA has removed PhysX support on GeForce RTX 50 series cards, many older PhysX-based games struggle to run at playable frame rates, even on flagship GPUs like the GeForce RTX 5090. This isn't normal, and it's astounding to see that RTX 50 owners can't play iconic games like Batman Arkham Asylum, Borderlands 2, or Mirror's Edge that I enjoyed to the core a decade ago.

With the dropping of support for 32-bit PhysX in the Blackwell series, a user tried to fix the performance problem by adding another NVIDIA GPU that comes with PhysX support. The Redditor u/jerubedo tried adding a GeForce RTX 3050 to his gaming PC alongside the GeForce RTX 5090 (this isn't SLI) and dedicated the RTX 3050 strictly for PhysX processes in the NVIDIA Control Panel.

He then ran and benchmarked a couple of PhysX-based games, including Mafia II Classic, Batman Arkham Asylum, Borderlands 2, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, and Mirror's Edge. The final results show an improvement of up to 1425%.

In Borderlands 2, the user reports that the game wasn't able to enable PhysX without RTX 3050 and, in the case of AC IV: Black Flag, the CPU was able to take care of the PhysX alone, which is why the RTX 3050 made no difference. But in other titles, the difference was day and night, particularly Mirror's Edge, which isn't even playable on RTX 5090.

It's a great hack when you can install an older GPU below your main one if you want to play older titles like these. Even GPUs much older than RTX 3050 support PhysX, allowing you to add them to the second PCI-E slot to enhance the performance of these titles significantly. Does that mean when Jensen said, "the more you buy, the more you save" was referring to this?

Nonetheless, even though NVIDIA specified that the series won't support 32-bit CUDA applications, it didn't explicitly state that they are dropping the PhysX support on the RTX 50 series.

Do you guys think or are there any leaks of AMD releasing
9080/9080xt, 9090/9090xt to rival nvidia
( Yes, yes I know amd said they won't be competing in higher tiers, but... )

Unconfirmed Rumours AMD RDNA 4 Architecture Based RX 9090 XT and RX 9080 XT Ready – RTX 5090 and 5080 Competitors​

liSEzMK.png


According to rumours, the company AMD did not stop producing flagships, but on the contrary, is developing them new series of Radeon video cards, based on the architecture RDNA4. Flagship models RX 9090 XT and RX 9080 XT should become direct competitors Nvidia RTX 5090 and RTX 5080The information remains unverified, but it is assumed that the release may take place at the end of 2025.
Although 32VRAM was also denied, there were rumours that it was being developed based on RDNA4.

If the leaks are true, RX 9090 XT will receive 8192 stream processors, 512-bit memory bus и 32 GB GDDR6 with speed 20 Gbps, which will ensure throughput of 1280 GB/s. Expected clock speed is about 3,0 GHz or higher, which makes the card the most powerful solution in the Radeon line. That is, the rumours released earlier are not true, AMD is not preparing Radeon RX 9070 XT 32 GB VRAM, RX 9090 XT, which fully explains the presence 32 GB VRAM.

In turn, RX 9080 XT will also offer a serious boost in performance – 7168 SP, 112 CU and 24 GB GDDR6 с 384-bit bus и 960 GB/s bandwidth. The frequencies will be lower, but AMD intends to do Energy efficiency a key advantage over competitors.

Coming RDNA4 can bring significant improvement in rendering technologies and support PCIe 5.0, which will help AMD get closer to Nvidia's top solutions. However, at the moment there is not enough information, and we can only wait for official confirmation. If the rumours are confirmed, The battle between AMD and Nvidia in 2025 promises to be especially heated.

But some poster is saying that If you want to make something, it doesn't come out right away. It takes at least 5-6 years for something to come out. It's just an unfounded rumour.
AMD is now committed to launching UDNA-based GPUs starting in Q1-Q2'27. They say it supports the entire line-up, including high-end. RDNA4 is just a stopgap measure.
There's a reason why Big Chips got scrapped.

NVIDIA Is Working To Resolve The “Black Screen” Issues With RTX 50 GPUs; Driver Update To Be Released This Week​

NVIDIA is reportedly working on fixing "black screen" issues with GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs as the firm prepares for a new driver update that will fix the problem for some users.

It seems like Team Green is actively resolving problems related to its RTX Blackwell GPUs, which is something to appreciate. While NVIDIA hasn't officially sorted out the "black screen" issues yet, a Redditor apparently got a new BIOS update for their MSI Gaming Trio RTX 5090, which did resolve all the black screen issues and, according to them, brought in a performance increase as well. This means that AIB partners are indeed working to fix the problem, but for those who are experiencing it due to their respective firmware.

MSI Gaming Trio 5090 OC Bios update FIXED the black screen issues! Reddit
Even there are black screens reported due to Nvidia latest driver update or Nvidia RTX50 series GPUs on all OLEDs ( Check the comments in the reddit thread)

NVIDIA's representative confirmed that the VBIOS update is a part of fixing the black screen issue in general, but this solution doesn't apply to all users. For those unaware, the "bricking" problem, in particular with NVIDIA's RTX 50 GPUs, isn't linked to the BIOS only, but it is claimed that the issue might be due to the onboard driver, or the PCIe connection. So, to resolve the problem, Team Green will release a new GPU driver later this week, which is said to hopefully end all the troubles.

Consumers experiencing the problem are advised to check the latest firmware available for their GPU from the respective AIB partner and update it. If that doesn't solve the issue, they should wait for the upcoming driver update. The issue could also be PCIe signalling, and according to our previous post, you can resolve it by downgrading to PCIe 4.0, which is a more well-established standard.

Lol, what? Appreciate what? They're lucky they haven't been hit with any lawsuits (yet). Fixing drivers on a $2000 GPU (on paper) that has missing rops, melting connectors, fires, and artificial scarcity isn't doing consumers a favor.

No, I think this upcoming Nvidia driver update is for those owners of 5090s whose GPUs are working good without all the problems you said and also all brands OLED monitor owners are also experiencing black screens because of a certain Driver update after enabling Display Stream Compression which causes Nvidia driver to BSODs and PC restarts. Until Nvidia Driver version 566.36 was good it seems even for RTX4090 owners. But I think for Nvidia now everything is a mess from its GPUs & GPU Drivers which might eventually bring class action lawsuits anytime soon.
 
Can somebody explain to me if all this power from the gpus is actually even being used for gaming? I’m still running a 1070 and it’s good enough for 1080p gaming. Is everyone gaming in 4k these days? Does everyone have a 4k monitor now? Am l stuck in the past or something?

I would like to know the same

No, not at all. Majority of gamers are still running 1080p monitors, with significantly smaller percentage running 1440p monitors & very small percentage running 4k monitors. Like roughly 65% of users are on 1080p, around 12% on 1440p & only around 2-3% on 4k according to recent Steam Hardware Survey data.

But nowadays in all most all sub-reddits or in any forums, people are suggesting 4k monitors for budgets under 200k, 1440p monitors for budgets under 120k & 1080p monitors for budgets under 70k.

Though 1440p is considered nowadays as sweet spot where you can achieve very high FPS with sharp image as many people don't realize that pixel difference between 1440p and 4k is much larger than between 1080p and 1440p... meaning stronger GPU would be necessary. From 27" 1440p to 32" 4k, the difference is more noticeable than from 24" 1080p to 27" 1440p.
HDR and a better quality monitor will do more for you than the jump from 1080p to 1440 or 4K. Most people don’t realize what they’re missing till they see a really nice monitor. 27" or 32" 1440p Monitor with HDR is the sweet spot for me.

When I bought my 32" 1440p Monitor in 2021 HDR isn't there much, so I bought a normal monitor but is powering by measly AMD RX6600XT 8GB VRAM GPU that runs on X8 PCIE lane. Nowadays anyone can get a 27" 1440p 180Hz HDR10 IPS Monitor for under 15.5k but you need a beefy GPU to run it though like starting from 12GB to 16GB VRAM ones but I think going with any RTX4070 12GB or RX7800XT 16GB GPU's is enough for another 5 years at most.
