Increase in price though. And people buying it.

Given their history, it's probably a move to maximize profits. Also given their history, I wouldn't be surprised if it's a decent performance increase. 2000 -> 3000 -> 4000 has been pretty consistently good.
It's possible that they could get lazy for the 5000 series, but they're not as stupid as Intel.

Nvidia does this every generation LMAO
They aren't dumb and don't need old cards sitting on shelves

Reverse groomer.
mostly because in the case of Nvidia the older product would have a better value proposition than the new one

Once you see those 5000 series prices you're going to try getting a 4090. They gotta make sure that doesn't happen.

Does this mean they will be making 5090 chips for well after release too? I want to make a road trip to a microcenter and put it into a case.

How much did the price of this GPU went under MSRP?
Pretty much this. Probably even more so if they can use the wafer space for more profitable endeavors.

You can’t help but go in every PC thread you can find just to post shit, huh?

Makes sense as the 5080 may not even be more powerful.

I heard the 50 series is also gonna need a new PSU? If that is indeed true, the older models should not be discontinued.

The 5090 will be on a different level, it has to be in order to draw in the FOMO sucker, e-peen obsessed contingent of the PC Gamer crowd, who might otherwise stick with their 4090s until the 6090 in 2026/27.
Everything below the 5090 will be the usual incremental upgrade, 30-40%, to keep the poor people happy.
TBH, When you only have one contender in the market, performance is all but irrelevant, only price matters.
You either stump up the cash for the full fat, real deal 90 class or accept that everything below that is going to be a compromised, 2nd rate experience and learn to be grateful with what they're giving you.

DLSS will push that card for many years to come. I'm still getting miles out of my 2080ti at this point.

This is me.. I got some serious fomo when getting the 3080 instead of 3090 back in the day, and changed to 3090 within weeks. Sold my 4090 in the summer, and been saving since january for the 5090.
I'm a mofo with serious fomo.. it's kinda stupid, I know.
Maybe one day i'll snap out of it, but not before the launch of the 5090

You do know that you can get Frame Generation with Lossless Scaling program for your 2080ti? Makes your card even better

One thing is even more certain than price increases and speculation on performance gains.. the salty shitposting pre-Nvidia gpu launch is always predictable and safe.

Final Gen for me, I think... I will downsize for smaller form factor, maybe in the far-far future.
Edit: Unless I win the Lottery. Bunker, Mancave, Self-sustaining Habitat, all the games.

Hopefully this means the 5000 series is close by. I fancy myself an upgrade from the 3080.

It should be very close.
Maybe even before before Christmas, but probably around CES (late january).
I bet we'll get some real info very soon.

The initial plans were to launch 50 series in October, so this makes sense. Internally delaying until Jan/CES 2025 also allows them to clear out inventory and create a desire for spending with those who cant get a 4080 Super / 4090

AMD said it in a conference call recently that playing the game they've been playing is a losing one. The new plan going forward is to price aggressively vs Nvidia and flood the market with cheaper options to get more people using AMD. FWIW it's worked with their CPU lineup, I'm hoping this new bold move is like the 7950/7970ghz update that embarrassed the shit out of Nvidia.
Granted I only came about 500 out of pocket for my 4080 but what the fuck was I thinking supporting that crap. I'm rooting for AMD in the GPU space no matter what at this point, Nvidias dominance is horrible for PC gaming

Some people have money.Increase in price though. And people buying it.

I mean they can’t really afford to keep the already in-demand silicon and TSMC production hours for an old gen product. They used to, in a very different market where they weren’t paying insane amounts to book a capacity at TSMC

Getting a 4090 at market price was hard enough already. I have no intention to upgrade to a 5000 series at this point.

It's not really about having money though. If you just silently support price gauging then the sky is the limit in the long run and the value proposition just gets worse and worse with every iteration.

I play games at 60-90. Really tried to see the benefit in 120 fps or higher but maybe that's just shooters (and usually those aren't that resource hungry).
Like the 40xx series was needed for true 40k60 gaming. I have a hard time seeing something in the horizon in the next 1-2 years that will tangibly benefit from a 50% increase over the 40xx cards.
My guess is that they might get the 5080 to 4090 levels and give it the same $1200 so people think they are getting a deal. And push people to accept the new normal of paying $1k+ for video cards.
The 5090 might still be a crazy card for $2k, too many enthusiasts out there to no take advantage of.

And it will have less VRAM than 4090

As a PS fanboi, I’m not sure if I should be afraid or excited for the 5090.
Afraid because the gulf between PS and PC power will get even bigger.
Excited because when Nvidia invent new features, I end up getting those features in PS hardware (about 5 years later)

It will really depend on whether the rumored rdna4 ML upscaling is any good. Based on their progress with FSR I'm not that optimistic but we'll see. They need separate RT cores as well, keeping them integrated with the shaders is holding them back big time
