Honestly speaking, That 4090 at 1600 MSRP or 5090 at 2k are probably the best deal for gaming.

Hard to imagine spending that much is a good thing. But at least you would know that you are secured for another 5 years, more so knowing even the PS6 isn't even close to that and that thing is 2 years away.

Even if the PS6 is at 5080 power ( to be seen, I highly doubt it ), the 4090 is still beating it with a decent percentage too.

I am super happy with the 5090 FE., and the fact that, as you said, no games are that demanding anymore. Maybe the Witcher 4 ? GTA 6 ? but those are 2027 releases anyway and I am very positive the 4090 and the 5090 will max these games 4k dlss quality with fps in the 80s range.

Yeah, I had a brief period I could have upgraded to a 5090 near MSRP when someone offered $1600 for my 4090. Microcenter also had a nice promotion going where you could take $400 off the 5090 with a CPU. All you had to do was buy a $50 CPU and you could have had a 5090 in very rare cases under MSRP. I am wondering if I missed out.

Still I don't regret saving the $200 and just keeping my 4090. The power draw of the 5090 just plain scares me.

My bigger regret was trading in my 9070XT for a 5070 Ti. The 9070 XT has very much held it's own in performance and stability and with driver improvements has more or less become neck and neck with the 5070 Ti.

 

[crackajack]

from crypto craze to AI.... damn it. At least AI makes some sense to me. If or rather when it reaches its actual goal it will be huge and a true game changer. Good and bad for society for sure.

 

[peish]

Just a heads up guys. This is now confirmed. The cards are cancelled.

where did you get this cancellation news?

 

[The Cockatrice]

Just a heads up guys. This is now confirmed. The cards are cancelled.

Source?

 

[daninthemix]

Chads will not have master race GPUs anymore? This is so sad

Nah already got one so I'm good chief

 

[Sintoid]

Nah already got one so I'm good chief

For now

 

[Smiggs]

Glad I got a PNY 5080 at MSRP a month ago, damn. I didn't think the prices could get worse.
But then again, Nvidia fucking sucks.

 

[DenchDeckard]

where did you get this cancellation news?

Source?

I expect K KeplerL2 will be able to confirm shortly.

 

[Hudo]

This is the golden opportunity for AMD to deliver some good cards at a reasonable price point. And I predict that they a) not gonna take it or b) blow it somehow.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Oh well, let's see how AMD fare with all this shit. I'd like to hope that they are bringing something exciting to the table next year.

 

[KeplerL2]

I expect K KeplerL2 will be able to confirm shortly.

Not cancelled

I'm guessing this would be 60 series well into 27, then?

 

[DenchDeckard]

Not cancelled

 

[draliko]

I hate that I feel hardware fomo and this kind of news bothers me so much... I'm good for a while (5070ti on 1440p) still I'm sincerely contemplating going back to consoles gaming to leave all this HW mess behind, every other day is a different component scarcity and I Feel like I'm always on the bad end of the deal... Damn I hate this

You got nothing to worry about with your 5070 Ti

 

[Catphish]

3080 for me

 

[draliko]

I know, I know it's a me problem more on the psychological side, even if I try to not care deep down I'm a loser for tech and I tend to overthink stuff like this, for that I was thinking that a simpler (even if diluted) experience could help soothe my mind (sorry for the English, not a native speaker)

 

[Zathalus]

I guess the means a late 2027 or early 2028 release for the 6000 series.

Just in time for GTA 6 on pc.

 

[Zathalus]

Just in time for GTA 6 on pc.

That would make the 4090 one hell of a card, number 1 or number two for over half a decade. If you got that at or near launch for around MSRP that was money well spent.

 

[Kerotan]

Looking for a graphics card for GTA VI? Luckily we have a console just for you, the playstation quintuple.

 

[yamaci17]

Me still happy with my 3070 at 1080p with dlss 4
I'd like to push at least 1440p or preferably 4K for GTA 6 but it is still years away from coming out on PC
So as long as it doesn't die on me, I will just truck along with my current GPU

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Feel good with my 5090

 

[StereoVsn]

Yep, in retrospect it was an outstanding value if it was in the ballpark of MSRP.

 

[Justin9mm]

Still rocking a 3080, but I don't really game on my PC.. Something has to change in future because the whole GPU situation is getting ridiculous!

 

[DenchDeckard]

I got my 4090 founders edition at launch and it's the best card I've ever owned.

 

[Sticks]

Not cancelled

 

[DenchDeckard]

Its joever. I was looking for a 5080 super but I'll have to wait to see what 60 series looks like.

 

[Sentenza]

I'm stuck with a 3080ti and absolutely no rush to upgrade at this point in time.
I'm patiently waiting for the next lineup at this point, even if a gut feeling is telling me that things may have not gotten any better by then.

 

[Sticks]

Fuck it. I bought a Asus Tuf 5070ti OC just now. Sorry AMD. Might see you again next year lol.

 

[//DEVIL//]

I wouldnt trade an Nvidia card for an AMD card. both cards are about the same level. but dlss 4 is still better and has multi frame gen with better resale value with the same performance give or take. I would stick with the 5070ti which I honestly think its the best mid range / entry high end card one can buy.

 

[Poppinfresh]

All I can say is: GOOD.

We don't need Ti/Super/whatever-the-fu*k graphics cards. Just release the 90/80/70/60/50 version cards of whatever generation it is and be done with it until the next generation.

Everything else is just marketing and an attempt to either squeeze as much money out of the consumer as possible and/or get them to double-dip.

In the majority of cases, most people aren't going to be able to tell the performance difference between a normal card, a Ti, and a Super anyway, unless their eyes are glued to a FPS counter, and even the,n the difference isn't going to translate into anything meaningful when you're actually playing games.

 

[Randall365]

How many PC games are actually pushing graphics tech at the moment?

Maybe Indy, Doom, Shadows perhaps - I can't think of too many.

The only time you'll run into something actually demanding is when a game supports path tracing.

 

[Gaiff]

I guess the means a late 2027 or early 2028 release for the 6000 series.

I hope not. This would mean 3 fucking years between card generations.

50 refresh series timings don't mean anything for the 60 series.

 

[DenchDeckard]

I wonder with 50 super cards being cancelled, if it fast tracks 60 series launch. I wonder what this kind of decision costs to a business like Nvidia.

 

[demigod]

I expect K KeplerL2 will be able to confirm shortly.

Stop pretending you have sources at Asus or wherever it is that you work.

 

[dgrdsv]

They are not cancelled, nor did they have any "Q1 26" or "Q3 26" time frame most likely.
A refresh isn't a new launch but a reconfiguration of the SKU mix. It doesn't take much time or resources to put it on the market so the only reason why it's not being done now is because the component pricing structure isn't suitable. Hell the only reason why we didn't see 3GB chips used in the initial (desktop) 50 series lineup is exactly the same.
If such suitable pricing structure won't appear until 60 series launch then there won't be a 50 Super refresh - and even more than that 60 series could also launch only with 2GB G7 modules.
If it will appear and it will make sense lineup wise (a lineup is more than a couple of flagship SKUs which tend to launch first) then they'll add such SKUs either as a full lineup refresh or a partial new SKU here and there.
In any case it's a minor refresh which importance got hugely inflated by people demanding 128GBs of VRAM or something on each GPU.

Happy to revisit this soon.

They absolutely were Q1, then pushed to Q3.

Now.....

 

[dgrdsv]

You don't push a refresh by two quarters, it's not a new product lineup.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Ok, it was never planned for Q1 and then moved to Q3

 

[winjer]

If the RTX5000 Supers are delayed, then the RTX6000 will probably also be delayed, otherwise, they will be almost on top of each other.

 

[Wolzard]

I hope not. This would mean 3 fucking years between card generations.

Late 2027 is the most likely date. Gaming GPUs typically come out a year after data center GPUs.
In 2024, the Blackwell architecture was introduced, and in 2025 the gaming version was released.
The next architectural project is by Vera Rubin, and it is scheduled to be launched in the second half of 2026.

 

[Zathalus]

50 refresh series timings don't mean anything for the 60 series.

It's always possible. I doubt Nvidia will release an entire Super refresh in Q3 2026 and then the 6000 series in Q4 or Q1 2027. The latter half of 2027 at the earliest seems likely.

 

[Poppinfresh]

I hope not. This would mean 3 fucking years between card generations.

At this point, 3 years should be the minimum between card generations

 

[Hohenheim]

Damn, I was gonna remove my 5090 today because of getting my PC into another case, and when unplugging the cable I discovered that one of the pin holes in the cable was miscoloured and obviously burned. Just one of them, and there's no sign of any damage in the gpu itself. I was probably lucky to discover this now, before it continued to melt and damage the gpu.
It's a official corsair cable that came with the HX1500i PSU that's being used.
I've been super careful when pugging the cable (making sure to hear the click and make sure it's 100% connected. No sharp bending on the cable either.
And the card's even been undervolted for max 450w..

I'll never feel safe with this gpu again now.. damn!

Put the photos up on Reddit, let the news sites pick up another case

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

I finally said "fuck it" and bought a 5090 FE today. I'm tired of these stupid games.
