Is there any GPU that stands out to guys as a giod value, or do you believe that everybody should skip them?
I’m liking the 5070 Ti with 16GB 256-bit transfer speed 896 GB/s for $750USD. The 5080 for $1000USD has 16GB 256-bit for 960 GB/s. I don’t see value for the extra $250.
The both have 2x 9th Gen NVENC encoder. The 5080 has 2x 6th Gen decoder, 5070 Ti has 1x 6th Gen decoder. I can use that for OBS recording while watching other videos.
more frames, with higher latency!
The complete opposite of the point of wanting higher framerate!
Assuming you’re primarily interested in gaming performance; wait for reliable 3rd party non-DLSS benchmarks.
From the Nvidia presentation, the 5070ti looks great, but the performance uplift over previous gen in their slides pretty much only applies to games with frame generation. Not every game will implement DLSS 4 let alone DLSS. You may still need the better rasterisation of the 5080 depending on your monitor resolution and desired fps.
Non-DLSS isn’t looking much more powerful. Like it or not, games are going to rely more and more on this type of upscaling tech (and frame generation.) It kinda sucks because it gives excuses not to spend time and money properly optimizing games. On the other hand, these types of technology are quite interesting and the new dlss model looks good (I’ll be waiting for a proper review to have an opinion.)
All that being said, I’ll upgrade next generation. I need to see a lot more new good games come out to justify upgrading my PC parts. I don’t think dropping $1000+ just to replay Cyberpunk for the 3rd time with higher frame rate is worth the expense.
I am of the opinion that DLSS and FSR is an admission of failure by GPU engineers that they are not capable,–so far,-- to design a GPU that does 4K 160fps with psycho raytracing on, zero upscaling, zero frame generation.
I do believe that they are wrking on it, but nVidia/AMD demand gimmicks in the meantime to continue selling GPU’s.
I suspect that the 5090 will be the first card to do 1440p with psycho raytracing at 144 fps without DLSS enabled.
There’s something about Reflex 2 that is bothering me or concerning me, but I have no clue what it is.

How is it an admission of faliure? They probably can design a GPU for that, but do you want to pay hundreds of thousands, because the chip uses a full silicon wafer?
Do you think NVIDIA or AMD should have sat on that technology for decades, until it’s good enough for 4k 144fps? Then you would probably say, it’s not good enough, because it can’t do 8k 144fps. Also, why 4k as your arbitrary limit? Most people are still on 1080p. So why not just say it’s good enough, when the hardware can do 1080p 60fps.

Definitely not, since it can’t even do 30fps in 4k, with all the bells and whistles and no DLSS. 1440p ist probably not even gonna be 60fps.

What? I’m pretty sure the technology they’re using, Frame Warping, has been around for years, and it’s used in VR, so you can just look that up and see what it does.
anyone could have told them that. real time path tracing is a pipe dream, even now. The actual raytracing output is a very noisy, incomplete image. Halving the noise requires 4x the compute. We won’t get realtime raytracing anytime this decade for sure, if ever.
I don’t use DLSS. I have never tried a game that has DLSS enabled. I like to max out path tracing/raytracing but disabld DLSS.
I woyld guess that the 5070 Ti is at tue very least 15% better than 4070 Ti. Maybe some games 12%, other games 20% better.
The new NVENC in the 50 series is also a very strong point of interest for me due to frequently using OBS.
I’m planning on getting the 5090 FE provided scalpers don’t ruin it (which is the most likely scenario by the way). I have a 3080 and have recently upgraded to 4k OLED, going from 3k to 4k has taken a serious blow to the FPS and I’d like to play some of the newer games at high settings and high FPS so I’m due for an update.
I have a no problem with DLSS on the games I played so far. Whichever artifacts it may have they “disappear” during gameplay. You are not counting pixels while you are playing. I know this is not the solution we want but we need to be realistic here, there is a reason why CGI can’t be rendered in real time. Certainly we are still far away from that type of quality yet the games we play are rendering in real time. We cannot afford the size and price of CGI workstations so we have to rely on these “gimmicks” to make for it.
I understand your reasoning about DLSS. I don’t agree but allis well. For 4K, you will need a 6090, and a 7090, etc.
Why the FE over an AIB card?
Way too early to speculate. Until the cards are independently benchmarked, there’s no way to assess value.
