RTX 50 series Super leak says we can expect more VRAM for the same price as the original GPUs

Basically, most of the 50 series early adopters got suckered into purchasing deliberately gimped products.

Good they finally realize 8GB isn't enough anymore even for 1080P for a lot of games now. It's retarded how a 300 dollar card only has 8GB of vram in 2022 let along 2025. Or rather they knew all along and was hoping to fool as many people as possible before profits starts slowing down.

That's a good idea since the 6000 series is around the time next gen comes so the gap should be bigger compared to the 4000 to 5000 series.

I'm still on my 1070 8GB card for around 9 years now because of the stupid overpriced cards all these years that only has 8GB and gonna pay for a insane amount if you want more than 8GB but might finally jump in on these new 5000 series assuming they actually keep their word on this. These should have been the default option.
 
Those msrp prices look solid, but lets not go into kumbaya place coz what matters is actual street price, so far 5080 is crazy far away from 999$(or even 999€) in every possible market. Dont blame me for being lil sceptic/realist for doubting version with more vram will somehow stay at msrp :)

Best Buy and Microcenter has the 5080 PNY for $999.

Thats the model with worst cooling tho, u dont wanna buy 360W tdp gpu with terrible cooling =/

Is it that bad? It has triple fans. It's not much different than their $1099. They just added RGB, a little clock boost and thermal pads on the backplate.

Useful for the lower end cards. 24GB is unlikely to matter for a 5080. A price cut of the existing card would be of actual value to the consumer.

Hard to find test praising it, i did see some testers(not in english) say stuff indirectly, like: "go get urself 5080 with decent cooling, not that cheapest pny card" so who knows, maybe they had terrible silicon lottery and their particular gpu was relatively hot, or maybe they wanna say something, personally i dont care about rgb and look of that pny card is pretty enough, but yeh, when it comes to cooling if i already spend 1k bucks u dont wanna suffer in that area.

I disagree here, we got much weaker 5060ti 16gigs(which is about 55% slower from 5080), its only fair that much faster 5080 has 24gigs of vram, lets remember previous BiS aka 4090 had 24gigs of vram too and 5080 is about 15% slower on avg only, it should be very good card even in 2030, barely weaker from brand new ps6, and those next gen games definitely gonna eat more than 16gigs of vram, especially in 4k(even dlssed 4k).

Around ~€1030 in the EU now. Which is actually €100 lower than the EU MSRP. Not just PNY either, but Gigabyte, Zotac, and MSI as well.
 
Are the power connectors on these cards still at risk of melting?

I've always had Nvidia cards (FX 5500 / 8800GTX / 1080Ti), but if this hasn't been addressed am I better of switching to AMD?

And even now months(weeks) before launch of super cards, ppl will buy it, retailers/online stores know well that supers are coming, do customers know tho?
BTW, 5000 series cards msrp euro prices got cut, so actual official 5080 msrp is 1059€ now ;)

Same, I'm just not interested in Nvidia and they're scummy tactics. I'd have picked up the 9070XT as it's a great card but I think I'd like a little bit more than a ~30% improvement on my 3080. I'll wait and see what AMD has coming in the new year, I'm in no rush.

While pricing has sucked, and Nvidia is shady as hell, GDDR7 3Gb chips weren't available in volume a year ago.

The narrower buses also causes a problem for the VRAM chips layout, resulting in them being forced into weird amounts like for the 5070.

NVIDIA caused this problem themselves.

No No No. I will not go back to buying a new gpu every gen. I just got a 4k OLED 240 hz monitor. I don't think the 50 series will help me to hit near that frame rate on games that I can't already do with a 4090 and 9800x3d. Will wait for 60 series.

will the 5050 and 5060 get these super variants?

Hopefully but doesnt seem like it after reading it. Shame got happy for a second before but realize it's only for the expensive cards. Guess we still gonna wait for the RTX 6000 series for a consumer friendly card that's more than 8GB hopefully 16gb below 400 dollars. I think it should with the 6000 series because that's when next gen comes and they'll also want as many PC players to next gen ready by then because the majority of pc user goes for the 60s. Used to be 70s too during the 1000 series because price were still very good and fair back then.

well that sucks but you are right , 6000 series it is then
 
I need a new laptop and was gonna get something 'gaming' capable, and was shocked to discover that they're still selling 8gb card, especially the 5-series. What the fuck?!

Chances of that happening on cards with <450W power draw are marginal though.

Apparently the big issue with the 5000 series design (and I think 4000) is that the power from the connectors is just merged together instead of being kept separate on the board. If it was kept separate then the board would be able to detect if one of the connectors wasn't plugged in properly. (I've seen it called a multi-phase design but I hate when people say that because DC doesn't have phases. Yeah, I get it's pulsed on the board but that's still different than when people are talking about three phase power which is an AC thing.)

I didn't read any of the replies, but here's my first impression:

- I'm skeptic about this leak being true to begin with.
- Still don't care about the 5000 series and I'll wait for the next one before considering the upgrade.
 
Your upgrade cycle needs to start with a mid life 'Super' refresh GPU then wait for the next Gen 'Super' cards.

That way you still get the best of that generation every two years.

Buying a new GPU at the start of a new generation is for the FOMO suckers.
