Going for specs alone and the performance delta between the RTX5090 and 4090, there was no way the RTX5080 would beat the 4090.
I read somewhere that you can't put a waterblock on an FE card as its next to impossible to disassemble.
BTW there are several AIB reviews already and other than price I see no difference vs FE.
I assume it has 3gb memory chips for 96 gb on a 512bit bus.
I wonder if nvidia will eventually use 3gb chips on future cards. A 24gb RTX 5080 super doesn't sound bad.
since nvidia claims the RTX5070 beats the RTX 4090, wouldn't it be fair to claim that the RTX4090 is faster than the RTX5090 (when using dlss 3.5 frame generation vs no frame gen)? :p ;):rolleyes:
Well, the RTX 5090 is claimed to be twice as fast as the RTX4090 using multiframegen, since multiframegen can potentially double the frames, then the 4090 would be up to twice as fast, ergo, matching the RTX5090.
BTW there are rumors that DLSS framegen could be coming to even the RTX30 series and multiframe to the RTX40, would that mean that the RTX4090 would be as fast as the RTX5090?
I think AMD could actually do pretty well price/performance wise.
On rasterizing the 9070 should beat the 5070, so does the 9070TX vs the 5070 Ti.
At first it seemed like AMD didn't have a chance, but now that the dust has settled it fares so much better. I think even AMD had doubts and...
Techspot has a review comparing the ARC 580 with other nvidia and AMD cards using both a 5600 and 9800X3d, only the ARC card suffered severe performance loss.

While I think the figure may be correct, I think it only applies to DLSS not Frame generation.
I always use DLSS in pretty much all my games that support it and it has gradually evolved over time. Supposedly DLSS4 has even better IQ, (some people say IQ with DLSS performance mode rivals DLSS 2...
So, it seems the initial excitement is fading. It appears that the "more realistic expectations" put the 5070 about as fast as the 4070Ti, the 5070Ti in the 4080 Super range and the 5080 just short from the 4090 in raster performance.
So the RX 9070 series might actually have a shot.
I read rumors that nvidia having some new fancy tech that cuts down memory usage, but then again I read the same thing with Lovelace and that never happened.
12GB just doesn't cut it anymore for 2k gaming much less 4k.
