Okay losers, time for you to spend obscene amounts to do your part in funding the terrible shit company nvidia.
LOL, their demo shows Cyberpunk running at a mere 27fps on the 5090 with DLSS off. Is that supposed to sell me on this product?
The 4090 gets like sub 20fps without DLSS and stuff. Seems like a good improvement.
No thanks; I’m good. Still feeling the sting over buying my 4080 Super last spring. Also it’s doing me just fine for my work and for games.
Two problems, they are big ones:
- The hardware is expensive for a marginal improvement
- The games coming out that best leverage the features like Ray tracing are also expensive and not good
Nvidia claims the 5070 will give 4090 performance. That’s a huge generation uplift if it’s true. Of course, we’ll have to wait for independent benchmarks to confirm that.
The best ray tracing games I’ve seen are applying it to older games, like Quake II or Minecraft.
This is absolutely 3dfx level of screwing over consumers and all about just faking frames to get their “performance”.
They aren’t making graphics cards anymore, they’re making AI processors that happen to do graphics using AI.
What if I’m buying a graphics card to run Flux or an LLM locally. Aren’t these cards good for those use cases?
Except you cannot use them for AI commercially, or at least in data center setting.
